each armed with an TX.
When they reached the battlefield
the result of the combat was decided.
Four wolves lay dead or dying among
a heap of mangled dogs. The others
had skulked away, but their hideous
bowling was still making the night
dismal. Hector moved from group to
group, shifting at the dead and fawn-
ing over the injured dogs that lay in
the snow, licking their wounds.
For more than half an hour he paced
to and fro, laid down, got up again
and showed every sign of intense eX-
element. Not until all the living
dogs had gone home did he r%elinquish
his post and present himself at the
house door. AS soon as he was adj
mitted he found his way to Ajax, and
with much demonstration of affection
fell to licking the little fellows
wounds. This task accomplished, he
dropped down with a long and weary
sigh, and began to attend to his own.
Ajax crapt quivering between his
big comrades legs, turned uneasily q
few times and finally curled himself
up comfortably. He was pretty badly
hurt, having a deep cash in the back,
and a long, gaping rent in the throat.
The next morning traces of the con-
tlict were widespread. Blood dyed the
snow, mangled, l~ifeless wrecks were
strewn around, and tufts of hair
drifted about in the wind.
People gathered from all parts of the
parish. Some fingered about the
woodshed where Ole narrated the
blood-curdling events of the night,
while he dressed the wolf skins.
All this happened some years ago,
but even to-day in that PARKWAY little
parish in Norway the people speak Of
that night; and if you should go to the
parsonage you will see close to- the
gate of the little garden to your right,
two low mounds where lie the faithful
dogs, Hector and Ajax, who fought the
amous battle with the wolves.-From
the Norwegian. in Providence journal.

The man and his wife got into the

the lady's attention was at once at
tracted by a girl opposite her reading
a book, Not only was the lady's at
tention attrac ted, but that of every
body else, and even the conductor
stopped an imperceptibte instant in
the hope that he might catch the title
OF the volume. The girl was oblivious
of all this, however, or pretended to
be, and at last the lady turned to her
husband.

in an of-course-there-isn't tone, (which
will provoke more curious attention
than a girl will who reads a book in a
street carp"
Yes" he replied, as if he knew
what he were talking about.
His manner nettled his wifi, who
had an idea she had found the onIy
one thing of its kind on earth.
What is it, I'd like to know?'' she
asked, rather sharply.

across the car must have heard the
conversation, for she looked up at him

How a Ships Officer Gave His Admiral
"a Shock.
1t was a novel accident, with a novel
sequel. that befell Admiral Home dur
ing the war with China in 1912. He
mad dlned on one of the ships of the
fleet, and when he came to return to
his own ship the tide was running so
strongly that his men could not pull
against it, and he was compelled to
take refuge for the night in the frig-
ate Dido.
When getting out of his oockle-shell
boat he made a false step, and as he
was large ana heavy the boat tilted
over, and in an instant he and his
crew were struggling in the water.
The admiral luckily seized a rope,
which hung owe the side Of the ship.
Five OF the men seized hold of his legs,
and there they hung, shouting Justify
for help till they were drawn in by
the Dido's crew. The admiral, pretty
well exhausted, was put to bed, with
a hot drink, and soon dropped asleep,
after giving directions to be called
early.
AT the stated hour the officer OF the
watch reused the admiral, who, still
dreaming of drowning and other hor-
rors, drowsily asked: who's there?"
DEATH" was the reply.
1t was startling, and the admiral
looked out Of his cot expecting to see
a skeleton or some other ghastly OBJ
Ject; but o. fully awake, and per-
ceiving only a very gentlernanlike
young man standing close to him. he
observed:
1t is very singular. | thought I
was told that death was before me-"
And SO he is" answered the young
officer. MY name is Death, and |
have come to tell you that the tide has
changed."-Youth's Companion.

who ministers most to their happi-

up, and ono by one the links in the
chain of convictins evidence were
discovered He was placed on trial,
convicted and sentenced. The day
for the hanging came People by
thousands came to see a human be-
ing swung off into eternity. Tho
black cap was placed over tho VIC

then a tall mountainoer who had
been attracted to the hanging along
