be quick! Something might happen
to frighten him off.
But the old rat was in no hurry. Age
had taught him many things and made
him crafty. He stayed just inside his
hole, and considered the matter thor
oughly. He smiled quietly behind his
long gray whskers at the thought OF
any ones supposing that he would be
taken in by a simple trick like that. He
knew. from the very first that it was a
| trick and studied 1t only to discover
how it was worked. In few moments
he again came from his hole, slowly
cautiously, as before, and deliberately
inspected the trap from all sides.
Perfectly satisfied that he knew all
about it, he returned to the front. Then
to the utter amaZement of the two boys
he placed himself with his tail, instead
Of his head, toward the traps opening
He looked around to see that he was in
the correct position, and then, by vigor-
ously kicking his hind legs, sent a
shower of pebbles rafting against the
wire.
Suddenly there was snap. Some of
the pebbles had gone through the open
ing and struck the cheese. In another
instant the old rat had turned, grabbed
the cheese from the now harmless trig-
ger and was gone.-Phiadelphia Times.

o'clock the enemy opened on the trenches
With their heavy artillery from Malate and
from the fortifcations around Manila. At
the same time they attacked the right
flank with force of infantry. The firing
was heavy, but our men did not reply, ex-
ccpt for a few volleys. The Spaniards fired
over $50 shots with their big guns. Several
shells fell in the trenches, killing three

was the place where they might hope
to take him.
SO one afternoon they brought trap
temptingly baited with piece Of smoked
cheese and placed II a few feet from the
wall directly facing the hole.
Then they climbed neard-by
tree, from which they could
observe all that might happen
without being themselves seen. The
trap was on the plan of the ordinary
red wooden mouse trap, only 1t was
larger and made of wire. There was
the usual hole for the rats head to en-
ter and the cheese was stuck firmly on
the little trigger which, on being jerked
off, would cause the spring to fly up and
choke the victim.
In about half an hour the boys heard
a faint scratch on the gravel beneath.
The rat had come to the door of his
passage and was glancing cautiously
around. No one was in sight, nothing
stirred. He gazed longingly at the
cheese. The boys held their breath as
they watched, and leaned forward in
their eagerness. Oh, If he would only

paralyzed In the right side, his arm and
leg being badly perished. Both limbs

controlling the foot were so weak that
he had no power to lift the toes from
the ground in walking. The shoulder
dropped, and the muscles of the shoul-
der blade were withered, causing his
arm to be very weak. He could only
partially close the fingers, while he had
no control of the voluntary nerves
and muscles of the thumb, and
during his whole life-he is now
twelve years of age-he could not
shut the fingers without the thumb first
