are interesting, because some have af.

Grim Highland ees.

My father had no end Of anecdotes
about our ancestors, parts Of which
I remember, though I was only q
schoolroom child OF under fourteen
whom heard him relating them. I
was, however, old enough to feel
keenly interested IN them. One story
that Impressed mo very much was
related to account for the origin OF
the Clan Macintyre. A party OF
Macdonells on one occasion were out
In o boat, when q knot OF wood
sprang out causing Q serious leak ;
whereupon one OF the party stuck In
his finger to fill the hole, and then
cut II Of with his dirk, thus saving
the life Of the whole party. From
this circumstance his descendants
were called the Macintyres, or Sons
Of the Carpenter.
Another story which heard my
father tell relates to the bloody hand
which appears In our coat OF arms.
A doubt having arisen as to which OF
two brothers o certain estate be.
longed, II was agreed that he whose
flesh and blood should first touch the
property was to be regarded as the
rightful owner. Accordingly, the
two young men started In two boats
for tho land In question. One Of
them, seeing that he was losing the
race. when near the shore pulled out
his dirk, cut of his hand and threw
1t on land, thus establishing his
right to the property rs his flesh and
blood had touched Il first.

tion. Il enables IL to escape from on
sorts OF dangers. Other animals with
q taste for insect food seldom detect
IL ewing to Its twig.like appearance.
Moreover. IL IL hardly worth their
while to trouble about such an elu.
sive animal.
But no animal seems born to enjoy
this life without worries and enemies.
It appears that there IL q curious
and large toad that makes speciality
Of finding twig insects. This toad
would rather hunt twig insects than
eat the jticiest and most easily caught
green flies.
The stick insect Is O member OF
the mantis group, several members
Of which have remarkable qualities.
One Of them, perhaps the best known,
Is the praying mantis. When in re.
pose IL appears to be on It's knees,
and Its forelegs IRE raised and clasped
together like the hands Of person
at prayer As It has large eyes,
which II turns upward, its whole atti.
tude suggests that 1t Is engaged In
earnest prayer.
The mantis family includes the
leaf insect, the spectre insect and
several others. They have tho power
OF initiating leaves and bla,los Of
grass.
The mantidae have q narrow, com.
pressed and elongeted abdomen and
long thorax. The head Is triangu-
lar, with two large eyes, three small
stemmatic eyes and long bristle.like
antennae. The wings fold in fan.
like manner. and the wing. covers are
long, narrow and thin.
The second and third pair Of legs
orc long and slender and are used
only for locomotion. The first pair
are used % weapons Of combat and
instruments OF prehension, and In
the case OF the praying mantis for
tho purpose OF deluding the pious.
One part Of the log closes on another
80 tightly as to cut like o pair Of
scissors. All the mantidae have .
habit Of waiting for their prey.
Many OF them-as. for example,
the stick insect-are very large.
Some South American ones are four
inches In length. They are usually
very pugnacious, fighting much
among themselves. A fight usually
ends In one OF the combatants losing
his head. The victor eats the re.
mains. ,.s
The Chinese catch specimens Of
ono mantis family and set them to
fight, betting on the result.

A year ago last winter two men thus

started the blizzard again began with
Increased fury. For weeks nothing

drifting before the storm until the y

and he must have got separated from

and In this position he had remained
from the moment that the last spark
Of life fickered out in his breast until
he was found. The horse had fallen
down.
The other man never was found,
but his horse was discovered by q
round up wagon which went down on
the Cannon Ball river, about one
