Il against.

"For time I suffered dreadfully
from my broken leg and the intense
cold, but after awhile sensation OF
numbness came over me, and I felt a
strong desire to go to sleep. I battled
against this feeling with all my ener-
gies, knowing how dangerous such a
sleep is, but at last yielded, and knew
no more.
"When I regained consciousness, /
was in warm bed, the postmaster s
wife was holding some beef tea to my
lips, while Garry sat by the bedside.
''By the Doctors aid and the kind
treatment I received was soon on the
way to recovery, and then I heard the
particulars of my rescue.
"It seems that Garry, after leaving
me, made the best Of his way to the vii
lage, and presented himself in the post
masters little shop about 10 o'clock,
seemingly almost exhausted, with the
satchel entangled about his legs in such
a manner as to cause wonder as to how
he got through the now at all.
AS you may imagine, the appear
ance Of the dog filled the mind of the
postmaster with alarm. But that was
not enough for Garry. AS soon as he
was relieved from the satchel he rushed
into the street, barking violently, as if
he would say, Follow mel'
'"The postmaster at last understood
it. The alarm was given, and dozen
stout fellows, provided with hurdle
and restoratives, set out upon the
search, guided by the faithful dog.
'They found me, sir, and you kaow
the rest. But they might never have
found me if it had not been for Garry.
There was six inches Of snow over
me when he led them to the spot, and
began to scratch at the snow and whine

"Garry and had many journey
over the same road after that, and
when he grew old and feeble and no

stand at the cottage door and watch me

THE ooooLv SWORD.

TIE 0OOOIt 0VvOn0s
The Rxyptians Gave It the Name Fifty
Centuries Ago.
Hall a hundred centuries ago the
Egyptians gave to the sword its name.
Since those old days the history Of the
trenohant blade, stained with blood and
defaced by the scars Of battle though it
is, holds much Of the glory, the poetry
and the chivalry Of the cruel game Of
war.
A friend whose fidelity never wavered
and whose power never failed, it is not
surprising that men endowed the sword
not only with human attributes, but
with the might and majesty Of the gods
themselves. The old legends abound in
tales Of its magical powers. How the
divine armorers strove continually to
excel some rival in the forging Of a
blade Of q temper SO delicate that it
might cut thread with the same ease
with which it struck head from the
body. or hewed through heavy metal
armor, was q favorite subject Of the old
Teutonic and viking tales.
These legendary blades bore charac-
teristic names, by which they were in
variably known: Graysteel, Wader
Through Sorrow and Milestone Bitter
were swords Of wide renown. and we
all remember how Arthur Of the Round
Table took "Excalibur, the sword that
rose from out the bosom Of the lake. I"
C@sar's sword was called Crocca Mors;
Char1emagne's Joyeuse played no small
part in the setting up of the great Frank
ish empire. Many bold captain went
down before Ell Tizona, welded by the
relentless hand Of the Cid.
The Japanese. whose civilization was
old before ours began, have produced
beautiful examples Of the swordmaker's
art. The Japanese nobleman carried his
swords as the insignia of his rank. He
wore one on each side, thrust into the
folds Of his sash.
These swords have been handed down
as heirlooms from father to son. and it
was not unusual for families of ancient
lineage to have as many as 1900 Of
them-marvels Of costly and artistic
workmanship-in their possession. The
scabbards are richly lacquered and
bound about with silken cord in
curious pattern. The blade is curved.
and the round guard is pierced to Car.
~ small dagger. This guard, called
q tsuba, is decorated with curious de-
signs, and SO great is the ingenuity Of
the Japanese metal workers that among
the thousands Of swords they have pro.
duced it is impossible to find two guards
exactly alike. They are priced SO highly
by collectors that large sums Of money
have been paid frequently for an an
tique sword. only that it might be ruth
lessly torn apart to secure the guard

ACTRESSES OFF THE STAGE.

Comments Of Ono of Their Sex Upon Their
Dress and Behavior.
Dressed like an actress is the slur
we often hear cast by woman on q
badly dressed member of her own sex.
Men and women alike are too apt to
form their opinions of every one and ev-
erything by the more conspicuous in
stead Of by the better side. If we stop
to look at the women on our New York
stage today. we shall be forced to real
ize that, as is the case in every other
sphere Of life, there are women who
dress we'll and others who dress badly
''The Broadway freak" is the standard
from which outsiders often judge wom-
en- of the stage. This type Of actress
seems to court notoriety by her ridicu-
lousy exaggerated dress, bleached hair
and rouged face Outsiders are SO igno-
rant Of stage people that they are often
surprised to see their favorites appear in
q quiet costume on the street. Again,
actresses are not callous, though some
times young people seem to think SO,
judging by the loud way they make
their comments at seeing public person
on the street. One day. Miss George
Cayvan, dressed in her usual quiet way,
was sitting in corner of street car.
while some young girls were excitedly
arguing as to whether or not it was Miss
Cayvan. Naturally annoyed. Miss Cay
van bit her lip, and one Of them ex-
claimed, '"That is Miss Cayvan; that is
just the way she bites her lip" Miss
Cayvan is only one of our many actresses
who dress as lady should on the street.
Miss Maud Adams appears ON the
stage in snowy costumes, while on the
street, unless very familiar with her
face, one would think her q pretty
schoolgirl, who had been carefully taught
refinement Of manner and dress. Miss
Viola Allen, in her neat street gowns.
passes by one so quietly that it is not
easy to recognize the clever leading lady
at the Empire. Miss Bessie Tyree al
ways dresses in refined taste. Her gowns
ft her to perfection. and are thoroughly
correct.
Mrs. Kendall is about the best dressed
English actress we know here. The 'city
Of fogs" has yet more to learn from her
gay sister over the channel. One might
wish that Miss Isabel Irving would be q
little more smart in her dress, and that
Miss Katherine Florence would put up
that pretty hair. Miss Elsie de Wolfe,
when dressed for reception, almost
surpasses her own handsome stage Co.'S
tunes. Miss Rehan looks rather we'll of
the stage, even il her chin is little
high in the air. Miss Maxine Elliott and
her pretty gowns make puzzle as to
which is the prettier, the actress or the
Dress Who has seen Miss Julia Mar
lowe, Mrs. Whiffen, Mrs. Walcot or
Miss Gladys Wallis without learning
lesson in taste from her appearance?-

are very pretty for evening occasions.
