And still the old castle continued to

claimed that at the midnight hour they had
heard the deep bellewings which had so
terrified Potak. Work in the field was
hurriedly done, and no one was rash

Inc tavern still remained completely de-

when he saw his Oldest customers cross the
street 10 pass his house and then look back
over their shoulders as If they expected that
the owner of that mysterious voice was close
upon their heels. But one evening early in
June the old innkeeper suddenly heard the
familiar click Of the latch. Who could it
be? At any rate the door was b0lted, and
unless it was q body as thin as vapor. it
would not be able to effect entrance until it

1.-Two travellers in need of supper"
Are ye alive?" asked the innkeeper.

shall see when yon have set forth the best

Jonas sprang the bolts, and to his Joy two
strangers of most humane as we'll as human

cage. the ring is tied around the birds neck
and in the little box are found all the objects
enumerated above.
In this case the cage is not one of these
mechanical eOntrivances that can be folded
up into small parcel and is very ex-
pensive, but an ordinary cage, such as can
be bought in any store. 1t can be passed

Except the Deer, What Remains Is
Mostly to BE Found in Menageries.
Omaha World Herald.
Once upon q time, and not so very long
ago, numerous noble animals roamed wild
over this Western country of ours; the
shaggy buffalo chewed the luscious heritage
and kicked the flies off himself on every
hill; the fieet-limbed deer outran the winds
and enjoyed himself as only healthy and
virtuous deer can; wild horses neighed and
whinnied in the Valleys animal life was
everywhere, aud the aborigine didn't need
to buy ticket TO the menagerie to see the
greatest show on earth.
But civilization has reared schoOlhouses
and abattoirs on the Western plains, and
the sound of the hammer and saw has taken
the place of the thunder OF the hoofs: the
hoarse rumble of the joint debate is heard
where used to reverberate tho believing of
the buffalo and the challenging neigh of the
untrammeled steed. There are a few
weary butfaioes surviving, but they are
cooped up IN pens and fed ON dry hay. and
they bear the same relation to their anees-
tors that streetcar horse does to Jobs
charger. They are pitiful to look upop.
