The Doorstep MIX SUNNY,

Bottles of milk or cans Left upon door
steps in the early morning hours may
be convenient if not absolutely neces-
sary under present existing conditions.
That the practice is hazardous to life
and health is admitted by all persons
who have watched the handling of these
receptacles. In several instances the
most repulsive-looking tramps have
been caught drinking from these YES
sells. Filth and disease-ladened mouths
may easily leave a sufficient number of
microbes to contaminate an entire
household. Especially is this true in
the case of milk. which is one of the
most favorable mediums for the culture
of bacilli. Consumers should insist
upon having their milk supply served
in sealed bottles, and these should never
be left in areaways or on doorsteps.-

evidently a good fellow, and if there is
4 fighting chance for him in this eli

the benefit of it."
''Puir body!" said motherly Mrs.
Duncan. What shall you say, Jamie ?"
I'm thinkin' it'll be for We to say,

Protheroe had been trying to read
Elsie's face, and the expression of
awakened sympathy thereon made him
regret for a moment the warmth with
which he had been pleading Thorn
dykes cause.
"Tm no sayin' it wouldna be a Chris
tan thing to do" continued Duncan,
speaking to Protheroe, "but it'll pit

While they were considering ways
and means, Elsie held her peace, but
Protheroe could see too plainly for his
own comfort that she favored the plan.
When he put his conclusion to the test
by asking her what she thought of it,
she answered, dutifully:
Its for father and mother to say, but
think we ought not to refuse in such
a case"
1t was the casting vote, and when the
matter was definitely settled Protheroe
had no desire to prolong his visit.
''No, 1 think I'd better get back and
tell him." he said, in reply to Mrs. Dun

''Hoot, mon! I'm no that canny!''
protested Duncan, but Protheroe smiled
when his back was turned, thinking
how the Scots face had frightened at
the satisfactory mention of security.

He CONQUERED 1T.
Awful Struggle with q Monster That
Finally Yielded.

All was silence for a moment.
Then loud, shrill shrek rent the startled
air. There was the sound of heavy body
falling. a crashing of timbers, noise as of
sinful spirits wailing in despair. A chain
crea ked dismally and then parted with a
dead, metallic snap. Staggering backward,
he fell against the washstand. The bowl
and pitcher fell in confused mass of broken
crockery upon the floor, while the water
flooded the room.
Again he advanced to the attack, and the
black-browed monster bent slightly forward
and cast him full length upon the floor.
Blood gushed from his VIC .lnds, but he
leaped again to the attack. With loud curses
he grappled with the demon. His garments
were torn in hundred places One eye was
black and blue! The other was blue and
black black But still he kept up the fearful
combat: At length, when nearly exhausted,
with his life blood slowly oozing from a
thousand wounds and his breath coming in
short, painful .gasps, he won! The dread
monster lay wide open before him.
There" he said. as he wiped the drops
of preparation from his brow. There! It's
a cold day when can't open a folding bed!"

THE LOGIC OF PROP1NQUITY.

duncan household he wrote to his
mother. 1t was a long letter. filled with
testing raillery at the conditions of his
exile, but containing no hint of what
he believed to be the beginning of the
end in the matter of his malady. In
closing he spoke OF the Duneans:
They are both characters in a way, and
they would interest you if you could know
them. Duncan is 4 typical Scot, upon whom
