served in all of the American wars.
The fighting blood in him was too
strong to be resisted. aud he finally
made his way to Cuba with the Ameri-

their first taste OF war:
1t there were bullets flying now, he
cid not know it-did not stop to think
OF them, but spurted over the rough
uneven road. full of the idea that he
was to fire few more shots for that
gallant young soldier behind. 1t was
strange how completely that idea shut
out any other thought. Now the firing
rang louder than ever: there were
cheers mingled with it. Chuggint came
in sight of an irregular mass OF men
ahead. They were charging through
the jungle and under the trees. firing
as they ran. At a quick. sharp com
mand, they lay down, but kept on fir
ing. Painting, Chuggins ran among
them. unnoticed, throwing himself
upon the ground between two of the
men. Through the trees he caught
lust a glimpse of little brown men in
blue-and-white uniforms that looked
very much like bed-ticking. They were
firing at the rough riders as fast rs they
could work their guns, while the Ameri-
cans were giving rather more than they
received.
Chuggins had no time to see whether
men were being hit around him. but he
knew that the hiss and chug of bullets
MI about him was something terrifying,
and he had time to be afraid. For a few
moments he shook as if with ague. 1t

SCIENTIFIC CONSCIENCE.
An InterestinE Tale Of Two Ge0lo.
gists and an Exceedingly
Beautiful Fossil.

Happening to know two men who were
deeply interested in geology and,who did not
know each other Detroit man brought the
two scientists together recently at the house
Of one Of them and then left them to enjoy
the occasion. A day or two later he met the
host in the case and heard this strange story
from him:
"Well, Mr.. Cooper, that was fine man you
brought out to see me the other night-a fine
man. Why, he's as crazy about geology as
am, il not triAe crazier. We sat up to-.
gether until after midnight, looking over my
specimens and talking about them, and Pm
going down to see his cases. He tells me he
has almost bankrupted himself nduging
his taste for rare and beautiful fossils. A
funny thing happened the other night, too !;
he's great one-that man! On my library
table had one remarkably beautiful fossil
too choice to be hidden away in case and
yet too valuable to be left lying around. l

know one from another. Your friend does,

course, l enjoyed his enthusiastic apprecia'
