rock near which she had fallen, and
thence looked about, hoping to see
some one TO whom she could appeal
for assistance; or some habitation
whence help might be expected to is
sue. Her survey was unrewarded by
any helpful discovery. and leaving the
rock she attempted 10 get up and walk;
but the effort was useless; she could
not even stand without grasping a
sturdy bush for support.
Forced to abandon her efforts TO
walk. she sat upon the ground and
carefully examined her injured limb
which was greatly swollen. With diff
fculty she removed the shoe and stock
ing and found that the ankle was dis
located; and she feared that she had
also sustained fracture of the knee
though the Inflammation was so extern
siye and the pain so acute, so diffused
and so equal at all points that she
could not determine with certainty.
Having considerably relieved her
pain by releasing the foot and limb
from the pressure Of the shoe and hos
iery; she ate the fruit she had brought
from Lessons, hoping that it would
impart a little strength. Remember
ing that persons suffering from sprains
and COntusiCns are relieved somewhat
of pain by bathing the wounds in cold
water, she again crawled upon the rock
to look about her, hoping TO discover
l. spring or streamlet within her reach.
This time, from her observatory she
saw what had before escaped her OBJ
seryation; stone hut with an odd
looking door, covered with scraps of
iron. So distinct, so plainly visible,
so conspicuous was the structure that
she could not comprehend how it was
possible for her to have failed to see
1t before. Indeed. so impossible did
1t seem to overlook the hut that she
felt a superstitioUs doubt about its
reality and feared that she was again
becoming delirious. Inspection con-
vinced her of its substantial character
and she said aloud:
NO one lives there now; but some
one has lived there or stopped there
at work and if | can each the door /
will be able to discover a path to their
source of water supply Then l can
find a path to the road after | have
bathed my limb and reduced the swell
ing and l can soon reach some place
where help can be found. Surely there
is water near that queer old hut! Ho-
mer, dear, l wish that you were here
with your gallant steed; you should
bear me away to-to the altar"
Descending from the rock she picked
up a stick and tried to use it as a
crutch.
Almost at her first step she fell and
tainted.

shetland Ponies.

The great value Of the Shetland pony
lies in its diminutive size, combined
with hardness and surprising strength
for so small an animal. These desira-
BILE qualities are the result OF long
breeding in a hilly, rocky country,
where pasture is scarce and the wealth
er often severe. These last facts les

more easily conform to its surround

Increased by the labor needed TO climb
hills in which it's native home
abounds. Bred on lower and level
land, with abundant feed, the Shetland
pony increases in size. and also loses
some of the shagginess of name, tai

characteristics. Even in Shetland, as

Nobody has seen or heard of rat
about Castine, Me-, since last summer,
says the New York Sun. In July, when
the whole town was overrun with rats
and everybody was in panic over
their destructive work, coasting
schooner came there for wood, and the
captain sold Ben Wardell a receipt for
killing the animals. For a week or two
Wardell went from house to house SELL
ing yellowish gray powder, which he
offered to give away If it failed to de-
stroy the pests. Then the rats began
to die. Their bodies were found in out
houses and cellars and in bitches by the
roadside. The smell was bad for
time, but the rats were gone and not
one has been seen since. The compo-
sition of the powder remained q secret
until Wardell enlarged his business and
began to sell it in other towns. The
Castine druggist was naturally anxious
to know what killed the rats, and made
note of the articles which Wardell
bought He neversasked for any kind
of poison, but the drug vender believed
that he purchased more calcine plaster
than any ordinary man had need of
using. He mentioned 1t to Wardell one
day, and the secret was out. The rat
killing powder was composed of Indian
meal and caleine plaster in equal parts.
The rats ate the mixture for the meal 1t
Then they had a great
thirst. The water caused the mass to
harden in the stomachs of the rats,
after which their digestive functions
