When serving cold poultry it should be
arranged upon the dishes with as much

neatly separated and the slices off tho

prettily and daintily arranged dish of

when / heard cracking sound whicn
warned me that some one was moving
through the furze underneath me. I
strained my ears n vague hope of
Deerfoot surging in my breast, and
then lowered myself cautiously and
silently from my seat and hid myself
as well as / could under the jutting
rock.
In few moments, right out in front
of me, about two or three hundred
yards down the mountain side, stood
the figure of slender, black-haired,
bare-headed man. He wore n faded,
gray jacket and corduroy breeches, and
he carried in his hand an oldfashioned
musket.
Deerfoot at lastl
l grasped my shot-loaded rifle and
moving quickly out of my hiding place
l stood bolt upright displaying my
black uniform to full advantage, and
with my gun pointed straight at the
strange man. cried: "Suand!'
The stranger turned quickly round,
took swift survey of me, and then
bounded like deer down the noun
tain side.
stop! in the queens name, or I'll
tire!" l shouted. And as he took no no.
tice of my challenge l did fire, with
what result / could not tell. saw the
furze fly quite close to the poacher-l
had no doubt whatever that he was
my man-but l couldn't say whether
any of my shot had caught him. Has
tily ramming new cartridge into my
gun l started in pursuit of the fugitive.
My plan of action was arrived at in
stantly. / would not attempt to dodge
him or seek to make any short cuts. l
would keep my eyes fixed on Deerfoot
and follow his every movement He
would be sure to know and to avail
himself of every short cut. l prided
myself on my 1eetness and my supply
of wind, and my lSeenness of sight. 1t
would be Il regular hunt without
hounds, and there wouldn't be much
fear of my fox running to earth in any
of his hiding holes while had my eyes
upon him.
The man was certainly q splendid
runner Try as 1 might l couldn't gain
an inch upon him. He had quite five
hundred yards start of me, for the dis
charging and reloading of my gun had
cost some valuable moments. l felt
the game would be up if 1 let fly at
him again and missed him.
On we flew anyhow, crashing through
furze and brushwood, but never halt
ing or stumbling. l was confident l
could overtake the poacher, even if
some lucky accident didn't help to de-
liver him readily into my hands.
The man seemed possessed of but one
idea-to outstrip me. He never turned
once, or faltered in his headlong race
down the slope.
AT last we got clear of the brush
wood, and with a bound Deerfoot start
ed ahead on the level ground at the
bottom of Blacknock. He gained bit
on me here, but l kept up my peckel

Lilo HangIng LlteraIly ON a Hair.

The'importance of examining closely
the hair found on weapons was shown
in case in which hatchet, having
clotted blood and hair adherent to it,
was produced as evidence against a
prisoner suspected of murder in little
country town. 1t was found under his
bed. This, with other circumstantial
evidence, had turned public opinion
strongly against the prisoner, but when
the hair was examined by microscopic
who chanced to be in the court room it
was found not to be human, but that of
some animal. This circumstance led to
more complete sitting of the evidence.
and the accused was acquitted. 1t
turned out that he had killed dog
with the Ratchet and had carelessly
thrown the hatchet under the bed. So
his life literally hung on hair. To

A new game for children is played
with feather. The party is arranged

ness of the players to keep the feather
in the air by blowing every time il
comes near. The effort is so ridiculous
that the children laugh. When they
laugh they cannot blow and the feather
is apt to settle in the lap of the merriest
child In this case she has to retire
from the ring. 1t is of course, her
interest to make the other children
laugh. AS the rings decrease they are
consolidated, and so the game continues
