profound ravine opens in front Of It's,
and perched high up on the summit OF
the yellow cliffs on the other side are
the houses which we saw from the
plain. Descending steeply to the peb-

ancient river-bed, we turn to the lie II

wooden balconies and projecting win
dows of the town above us. III the
people overhead are dying OF cholera,

and there Is no sign of life at any of
the windows. We come to the chapnr

ravine. 1t is locked mp. and little
further on the ravine opens on to a
broad river, which we cross by bridge,
and enter An imposing caravansary Of

In this way we avoid entering the
town. The river is bordered on both
sides by vertical cliffs, and from the
gate of the caravansary, looking back
across the bridge, we get the most
striking view of Yezdikhast The long
ledge ON which it stands is pierced by
many caves and openings along the
top, and from distance IL is difficult
to make out just where the town be-

Dog and Crane Fight II Out.

In the fall big white crane got in
the habit of stealing fish from Mrs.
Myra Hooker's carp pond in Sickler's
Creek, says n Scranton penny letter
to the New York Sun. The long.
legged bird was SO handsome that Mrs.
Hooker liked to look at il. and rs
there were a good many more carp IN
the pond than she could make use of.
she let the crane come around and
help itself To fish AS often as it pleased.
Before long the crane saw that Mrs.
Hooker meant to be friendly, for. in
stead of stealing up TO the pond ~ il
had done ut first, it alighted near tho
pond as though it had right to,
waded in leisurelv. and soon sailed OF
to the swamp with carp Topping ia
its strong jaws.
Within fortnight Mrs. Hooker's
mongrel dog. Dick. began to take
dislike to the big bird, aud one morn
ing he laid plans to nab it. He hid in
some woods, and when the crane
alighted he sprang out at it, and met
with the sorriest surprise of his life.
Dick made miss, and the spunky bird
hammered him on the head with his
long bill, licked him in less than
minute, and sent him bowling to the
house with his left eye badly bunged.
up. Mrs. Hooker saw the lively spat,
and went to Dicks assistance. She
began to doctor the wounded eye, but
her tender nursing was i'll vain, for
the cranes bill had pierced the centre
of the optic, and the sight was de-
stroycd.
Dick kept away from the pond and
did a good deal of thinking while his
wound was healing. He must have
made up his mind to have revenge on
the crane, Mrs Hooker said, for rs
soon ms his eye had got well he crawled
under root ut the edge of the pond
one morning and concealed himself
till the crane waded in, raised one
foot and pretended to be doing,
when he made a spring and caught it
by the neck. The crane kicked and
Topped its wings, but Dick had good
hold, and he hauled the strangling
fish thief out of the water, dragged it
around the meadow on canter till he
had choked it to death, and then
snaked it to the dooryard, where he
danced and barked around it in tri-
umph that he I'd killed the enemy
that had put OUT ais eye.
