! S100 for 0 nice large skin, with the head left on, do you think you could get it?'
 "I shouldn't like to promise" ," laughed 1 the boy, for the last man who tackled one in the mountains got badly hurt: and 1 shouldn't know where to set my traps to get one. If ever l have the luck, though" he added, as he started to go, HI remember not to take his scalp"
 "0h, I hope you'll catch one right away!' said the impetuous young lady If you do, bring it here, and the money is yours"
 In the hurry of the double work which the boy was undergoing, and the worry of the bill hanging over the head of his mother, he soon forgot the incl dent completely.
 He got fine, large bait one evening from the butcher, pulled his traps from the ground, dragged the meat through the brush to entiee any proving ami nal, and set his quick little snappers anew, in rough rayine further up the hill.
 Early on the following morning, Law renee shouldered his club, and hastened to the foothills. The weather was cold CT, he began to feel tho need of warmer clothing; in fact, he and his mother needed a number of things beyond the purchasing power of his meager salary.
 When he eame to the place where the bait was lying he was quite amazed to find that both the traps had nipped the paws of animals Of some sort, and were dragged off in the usual way Near at hand he found his captive number one, 8 miserable almost hairless coyote, too utterly cowed to raise its head.
 Poor beast, you can go,' said the lad; and stepping on the springs of the trap he released the creature. which limped away in the brush in a marvel ous hurry.
 Bringing back the trap he threw it down. and started carelessly along the trail of the other drag. Over rocks, through bushes, down hill and up. it wentra surprising distance, for gener- ally the coyote travelled but precious few rods with the weight gouging out the soil at every inch of his progress.

 But, mother, catch q coyote nearly every day now, and get dollar bounty for the scalps and two for the hides, besides my wages
 "Ah, yes; but the debt is nearly a hundred dollars, and the man threatens trouble if he doesn't get his money at once. This house, you know, belongs to his brother
 ''Nevermind, Little Partner" he cried, springing I'D, something's got to hap pen I'll make it happen! Now I'm off to work"
 At the hour of noon young Lawrence, washed clean of the gri1ne that had gathered. on his powerful hands in the blacksmith shop where he swung the heavy sledge and helped the man who wrought with fire and steel, stepped lightly through The door of the princi- pal store of the town, bearing a pair of coyote skins. the tanning of which wao completed.

A Real True Ghost story.

This is true English ghost story of an unconventional kind, says the Boston Transcript. A young lady ar rived late at night on a visit to a friend She awol0e in the darkness to find a white figure at the foot of the bed While she watched the bedclothes were suddenly whisked off and the appari- ton vanished. After an anxious, not to say chilly, night, the visitor went down, with little appetite for break. fast. At the table she was introduced to gentleman, a very old friend of the family, who had, she learned, also been sleeping in the house. He complained of the cold. T hope you will excuse me-" he said to the hostess, but I found it so cold during the night that, knowing the room next mine was unoe- eupied, took the liberty of going in and carrying off the bedclothes to supplement my own." The room, as it happened, was not unoccupied. but he never learned his mistake.

She was defeated by the Northern Light, of the Pough- keepsie club, and was badly beaten at
