on his way. and was presently installed at
his ease in the common room of the Lion

the house could afford; ami there it was
that he was discovered by his late fellow

light of the half dead fire. looked not unlike
mine host. Whoever he was, he seemed on
good terms with the speaker, for he no
sooner heard what the other had to say
than he slipped the bolt of the house door

CONNERSING WITH ANIMALS.
You Must Talk TO Them ff You Wish
to Make Them Friendly.

to Make Them Friendly.
From Our Animal Friends
The most important kindness we can do
any animal that lives with us or that
works for us Is to talk to him. 1t is all
very well to give our pets proper food and
care. but ii is not enough. If man doth
not live by bread orly," the animal friends
of man also have higher requirements.
They need companonship; they need con-
Versation. A team Of horses that work
regularly together have their way of talk
ing with each other. A cat and her kit
tens. a pair of prairie dogs, any of our
home pets which are fortunate in the COM
panionship of their own kind, 10 not really
need our intimacy; but they will never
learn to love us Unless we take the trouble
TO be agreeable to them, and they will
rever be half SO intelligent in understand
ing what we expect them to do If we omit
to say clearly what We want and if we
are unwilling to bear out part in friend
ly conversation.
You talk to your pets. of course, boys
and girls; We have not supposed that you
wouldn't talk to his dog? The dog answers
you. He wags his tail. looks up into your
face, licks your haEds, jumps about you.
and when, in his opinion. the conversation
grows too exciting to be carried on in an
ordinary manner he barks as loud as be
can to give fuller expression to his feel
ings.
Now, a boy may have dog for a pet
and some other member of the family may
have a canary. The boy considers his dog
the finest. cleverest fellow in the world; a
canary he thinks is a stupid little thin,
that cares for nobody and is easily fright
ened. Let him go Up gently to the canary
and talk to ii for a moment. The little
bird will cock its head first on one side,
then on the other and will chrp a delight
ed answer. ending, very probably in a
burst of happy song. After a while it will
know that boys voice and will show the
great test joy whenever he enters the room.
He can soon teach the little creature to
come at his call, and to take its favorite
fingers. If one pays no attentio1 at all 10
an animal ii can not be otherwise than
stupid. We know a sad story Of canary
that mad scrupuloLs care. but was lef,
constantly alone. rs cage hung whore ii
could not look out of the window and no
amusement of any sort was provided for
1t The poor little mite died of nothing in
the world but solitary confinement.
A yet sadder story is tod Of a child 4
woman VINO was not her mother simply
fed and clothed little girl Day after
day she let the child crawl around the room
where she took in washing for A living.
Not only did she never pet her: she never

ticed that the little SRI showed no intelli-
gence and could not talk. 1t was because
she had never been taught a single word.
The little girl is now bright and nappy
with kind friends.

Il have need of that horse-the kings
service requires It," was Haliburton's re-

How, you want my horse" the other

making as if he would ungirth.
Hold, SIR said Halliburton. sternly:
''the king also requires your appoint

a tone of alarm.

smiled Halliburton. sardonically; Il will be
responsible for them"
Again the man hestated. but his case
was desperate, and he saw it.
WELL SO be it, he said, bitterly; yet
if you were man and he looked at the
dag.
And I am one." laughed Halliburton
but. unfortunately. I am a kings messen-
ger before all. 1 am sorry. sir, to trouble
you, but have the goodness to step back q
dozen paces.''
The man did so.
Thanks, SIR" nodded Halliburton, dis
mounting. II will requite your courtesy at
a more convenient season. Give you good
day.
Whereupon. vaulting into his discounted
opponents saddle, he gave the horse the
spur, and. leading his own rode away at q
leisurely trot.

"Faith" he drolled to himself as he
went along, Il have not done so badly: the
| business is more amusing than hoped for,
and. certes, I have come off better than I
deserved. for 1 should have seen to the
beasts shoes"
The lameness. however. Of his own ami
NAL retarded Halliburton more than he had
looked for, and indeed increased so much
that, In a while, he was compelled reluct-
aEtly to draw rein and proceed more slow

the horse, he felt constrained to go for

1t was certainly disquie:ing for the after

some spot where he might either have his
beast shod. or If that could not be done,
where he might leave it till he was free to
return Nor did his good fortune desert
him, for presently he came at dusk to a
house that was like to serve his purpose.
1t was solitary place enough, lying in a
hollow in the moorland, with never a sign

A Lesson in CiviIity.

From Youths Companion.
1t is human nature to rejoice when a
churl Is taught forcible lesson in polite
ness, and the more the rebuke is deserved
the more will the lookers-on rejoice at the
guilty mans discontinue. A case in point
occurred at the custom house at one of the
ports of entry on the great lakes.
The inspectors were very courteous and
had been making only superficial examina-
tons of the trunks and bags of the pas
sengers, all but one of whom appreciated
this leniency enough to render the in
spectors all possible aid in their work. The
exception was young Englishman dressed
in the height Of fashion, who seemed to
regard the inspectors as personal enemies.
When his turn came, the inspector said
"Have you a trunk, sir?'
That's my trunk" he answered, shortly
"Will you kindly open it?"
open it yoursef!' AS he spoke he threw
his keys down on the top of the trunk, and
looked as the inspector with. most insult
ing expression.
The inspector said never a word, but in
omnous silence picked UP the keys opened
the trunk, and began the examination of
its contents. Beginning with the tray, he
went straight through the trunk, taking
out and opening everything he found. He
urrolled and separated every pair of socks
Lnfolded every piece of underwear, and
shook out and explored the pockets of all
the neatly IOlQeQ COdtS ana trousers. w hen
he had completely emptied the trunk. he
checked it and moved on to the next
leaving the dudes entire wardrobe in a
heap on the floor.
The dude stood looking doubtfully at him
| for moment and then exclaimed: Here
you, who's going to put these things
back?'
Put em back yourself!" answered the
inspector. without looking around. This
| the foolish fellow had to do. while the
| crowd laughed.

An X Ray Story.

The investigators whose names appear in

agine they have bullets or other unpleasant
foreign substance in various parts OF their

following letter
Dear Sir: L have had a bullet in my
thorax for seven years. L am too busy
TO come to Cleveland. but hope you will
be able to come down here and locate the
bullet, as L am sure the case is worth your

Halliburton looked them over carefully

he had made to enable him to distinguish
his own from that belonging to his COM

made his choice, and put the dispatch into
