Buckles are to be found upon every
part of a woman's toilet, and, of the
many chic varieties, those made of steel
take the lead. Old-fashioned specimens
that look as if they might date back
several generations are greatly priced.
How can | furbish them up?" is the
query of the fair owner. Ec3ing oil
acts as a cleansing agent. The buckle
to be renovated is dropped in oil that
has been heated. 1t is left there for an
hour, when the polishing process be-
gins. The best polisher you will find
is the ever useful chamois, or, if You
prefer them, the inside of an old kid
glove or a soft piece of leather will do
the work nicely.

caught that he made up his mind never
to take unnecessary risks again.
He had been visiting a farmyard
that was quite way from his bu1row,
and when he came home again he found
that the burrow had been filed up with
earth. At first Reynard thought that
it was done by the badger who had
lived in the hole before Rcynard drove
him out; but soon he saw the marks of
a spade, and knew that man had been
there.
While he was examining the burrow,
suddenly he heard the cry of the
hounds, and he knew that the hunt
was out and was after him. He
dropped the fat hen he was CARRYING
and trotted away from the dogs, mean
ing to slip out along a little ravine he
knew of. But no sooner had he
reached the edge of the wood than he
heard a man shout. Then he knew he
would have to run for it.
Away he shot, his long brush sweep
ing the ground. The hounds came
straight after him, and he had to in
crease his speed. But, tired from his
long journey, he found the hounds
gaining upon him and saw that he
would not be able to reach the little
ravine in which he had so often pua-
lied the licencst hounds.
Still at full speed he looked right
and left, and saw thick row of bushes
on one side. Turning sharply he ran
toward them, for he knew there was q
railway cutting behind them, and
hoped to cross it in time to reach the
further bank before the dogs. Once
hidden from the huntsmen he knew of
twenty tricks by which to throw OF
the dogs and get away to safe cover
Unfortunately as he lcaped through
the row of bushes his hind legs caught
between two springy shoots that held
him like trap. Nearer came the dogs;
harder poor Rcynard struggled: but
try as he would he could not pull his
legs through between the stems. lie
was about to give up the struggle
when he heard the rattlety-bang of a
freight train coming along the track.
This scared the fox more than ever, for
he thought that it might keep him
from crossing the track even if he
should free himself
He struggled desperately, and, at
last, by quick push of his fore legs,
threw his body back from between the
sticks. He was at liberty-but Just
then the hounds were upon him!
Rcynard made one long leap half
way down the bank, and at that mo-
ment the train came opposite him so he
couldn't cross the track. But Reynarl
then showed what a bright old fox he
was, for, giving anotherjump, with the
foremost hounds at his very heels, he
caught the rear end of platform car
the last car of the moving train.
Then, feeling quite safe, Rcynard
turned his head and gave the baillcd
hounds a farewell smile.
Rcynard, after this close shave, made
up his mind to find home not quite
so near the foX-hounds. He remained
on the train until he was well out of
reach, and he never went back TO his
old quarters This was unfortunate
for the poor little rabbit whose bur
row Reynard stole when he took a new
home.
The huntsmen often wondered how
the fox got away, but the dogs never
told.-Benjami Webster, in st. Mich

of absence from girl who had not
been very sure of her own mind which
of the two friends she really liked
best, although as Tom had asked her
first, and she had accepted him, is a
severe test of endurance. Poor Tom
was in his grave, and gone from her
life for ever, while handsome Jack
had come home, handsomer and as
tender and love-strucl1 as ever; indeed,
as he looked at her while he told his

times of trouble, and they all liked to
see his handsome face, and hear his
frank, merry laugh. Now that he had
come back rich man, he had more
friends than ever, even although he
was not quite SO merry as he had been,
but the people excused that and put
it down to the troubles he had gone
through.
With Annie he had a new manner
which seemed better than the old one.
Before his departure he had been care
less and free, SO that she never could
be sure that he liked her more than

about his intentions, he was in deadly
earnest, and showed by every action
that he wanted her as a wife, so after

vicious thump at something in the

the snake up in his bill, and with necl,
stretched tried to carry him to a tree.

had to be dropped. Twice did this oc-
