suffered serious damage from the depre-

habit to open the store in the morning.
and he Invariably heard great scam.

concluded at last to have It out with the
little beasts. and began an Investigation
to find their rendezvous. Az he opened
the door Of q small brick smokehouse in
the rear OF the store, now little used. he
saw at least a dozen rats run into holes
In the floor and walls. They quickly re-
covered from their fright, however, and
soon emerged and glared viciously at
him out Of their little black eyes. Car
ter went out and got short thick club
and . lantern, and then re-entered the
smokehouse. This time be closed the
door behind him. The dim light Of the
lantern served to daze the rats, and
Carter had no dimculty In killing three
big fellows. A. they gave vent to
dying squeaks scores Of other rats
emerged from the holes and swarmed
around the young man on all Sides The
rats leaped at his hands and face and
crawled over his feet, all the while keep
