GANDER VERSUS EAGLE.

There are few better fighters than 4

Those ragged white Russian geese bite
like bulldogs. 1t is TO mere peck with
them; they bite and hang on. The
common old farm yard gander is a
capital fighter when he is driven to
it. At certain place in Scotland

He preferred to kill his own dinner
and it used to be a cruel sport to
watch him dispose of any unfortunate
hen or guinea fowl that was put into
his cage.
They tried him, | believe, with every
sort of domestic poultry. Ducks, pea
fowl, turl1eys-the eagle was master of
them all. He had no trouble in finish
ing them off, no trouble even with the

tried him with a gander; but he could
make nothing Of it. The gander
croucled into a corner, drew back his
head, presented nothing but a broad,
spadelike bill from whichever quarter
the eagle tried to attack hin,.
The eagle fumed :Lnd fretted, and
grew very angry; he made desperate
attempts to take the gander in the
flank. but the wise old bird defea ted
them all. In the end they had to give
the gander his liberty, as the reward
of his courage, and to satisfy the eagle

Rome, Dec. 3O.-It is not true that
the status of the secret societies-Sons

Her face was pinched and sorrowful

Now, my little man." said he,

Why, all the Mama we have in

fellow, struggling to choke down the
tears and steady his trembling voice.
as he gave the direction in which to
drive.
''She worked, oh, so hard, every
single day and some nights too, and
now she doesn't know Us, and its just

into a paroXysm of tears which the
doctor tried in vain 20 soothe.
A short drive brought them to their
Destinations plain half shabby tene-
ment house, where DR.. Barnett was
silently ushered into the sick chamber
of a woman delirious with fever. A
kind hearted neighbor had come in and
rendered her services.
As he bent low over the patient,
scanning her face, she opened her
eyes wide He started! Now he knew
who his patient was. There were no
other eyes in the wide, wide world
like those.
''God grant that I'm not too later
was his murmured prayer.
Who or what she was now, it mat
tered not. He would save her if he
could.-Desperately he fought the fell
disease, not only that day, but for
weeks, alternately hoping and des-
pairing.
During that time, unknown to his
patient, he gradually learned of the
rich bankers failure; how he could not
survive the loss of his wealth and that
both he and his wife had died within
a short time of each other; and how
Louie. the child reared in luxury. had
been left penniless. How bravely she
had struggled to support herself and
sisters two orphan children, as a
stenOgrapher; until, through overwork
her delicate frame had succumbed to
disease.
Not by word or look did DR.. Barnett
betray his identity, but he mentally
resolved. if possible, to rescue his first
and only love from this life of toll
and hardship.
When upon returning health, with a
heart full of gratitude, she thanked
him for his untiring attention, as he
was leaving one day, he said, turning
toward her, rare smile on his face:
Miss Grahame, now that my prof
essional services are no longer needed,
| fear you VIII dismiss me entirely,
and as this may be the last visit I may
be allowed, / wish to show you a
treasure I've long had, and ONE which
| prize most highly"
With one hand he took from his
pocket the little emerald ring, as with
the other, he drew her tenderly to-
ward him. ''Have you forgotten your
promise. Louie? See, the gem has not
faded! Holding this pledge 1 beg for
your love. Can you refuse it, my
darling?'
A blush suffused her face and neck,
as she raised her blue eyes and in
confusion, said: ''But, Dr. Barnett
''No. for just now, Dickie Morgan"
he laughingly, interrupted her
Later Louie said; Orchard, you con-
Quered that dreadful fever as in the
old days you always won the victory
for me. My life and love are yours
