newspaper interviews as well as those
made before the war investigating COM
mission are referred to at length, among
them being the interview with the Cen

January, in which Gen. Miles was quot
ed as saying that he had 'overwhelm-
ing evidence that the beef was treated
with chemicals to preserve it and that
he had affidayits from men who saw
the beef undergoing the embalming pro-

The court notes the denial which Gen.
Miles made to this part of the conversa-

on the fence. you can see the dog and
saddle" remarked Maxwell, but you can't
see the string"
Buster john suggested the old carpenter
shop, which was long Shed room, the en-
trance to which had no door. There was
pile of shavings in the shop, and Joe
Maxwell said 1t was the very place of all
others. So he placed his saddle on the
workbench, kicked the Savings together,
and told Hodo he could go to bed, and pull
the cover over his head when he got ready.
will he stay?" Buster john asked. The
other dogs were all fastened up In the
blacksmith shop to keep them from going
home.
Young Maxwell laughed. He'll stay there
till l come after the saddle, unless 1 call
him out"
He was for returning to the house, but
just then the children saw their grand
father and his other guests coming in their
direction.

Then you'll not like Hodo," remarked
Joe Maxwell, flor he's very dark and al
most black. Come, Hodo''
The hound instantly came from the shed,
and stood looking at his master, his head
turned expectantly to one side. This ges-
ture, as you may call 1t, was somewhat
comical, but 1t was impressive, too Hodo
was large for a hound, but very compactly
built. His breast bone and fore shoulders
were very prominent, his chest was deep
and full, his hams were almost abnormally
developed, and his tail ran to a keen point.
His color was glossy black except for a
dash of brown and white on his breast and
legs, and white stripe between his eyes.

alighting from his horse, the rider pulled
the gate to, and, leaning down until Buster
John could see nothing but one of his feet
pressed against the saddle, fastened the
latch. Buster John had never seen the
gate opened and shut in this fashion be-
fore, for the latch had been purposely fixed
low so that the little negroes could open
the gate for vehicles going out and coming
In. The dog waited with much dignity for
the gate to be shut, and then came trotting
along the avenue, close at the heels of the
cantering horse.
That's him." cried Buster John, clap
ping his hands. How often had Johnny

horse and rider! pale little Teller, look

rel horse, wild long name, an tail dat

owing to the muddy roads, but the name
was loose, and gave the horse a very at
tractive and picturesque appearance.
Both Buster John and Sweetest Susan
ran to meet young Maxwell, but Johnny
Bapter was before them.
"Howdy, Mr.. Joe?" cried Johnny Bapter,
joyously.
: "Why, howdy, Johnny Bapter?" Then as
the children came up, Maxwell shut both
eyes tight and said: "Waiti Johnny Bap-
ter I'll bet you a twist of tobacco that the
young man over here Is Buster John, and
that this beautiful girl lady over here Is
Sweetest Susan" While he was speaking,
Johnny Bapter pushed the children around
deftly so that they exchanged positions.
Then: "I'll take de bet!' exclaimed john
ny Bapter.
you've lost, said young Maxwell; look
at my hand" 1t was open; the forefinger
was pointing at Buster John, and the little
finger at Sweetest Susan.
This sort of an introduction charmed the
children, who were shy, and put them at
their ease at once.
Heres your tobacco, Johnny Bapter.
Now don't feed my horse till / come out
tonight and do put him In a dry place
where the wind can't strike him, and If
you have time wash his legs. The roads
are awful. Hang my saddle and blanket

after them"
He went in the house with each of the
children holding him by a hand. He SEEM
ed to be a child with them. He shook
hands with the host and with the other
guests, and excused imself on the plea that
he wanted to have a frollc with the chill
dren. He was seventeen, but had none of
the characteristics of that age. He was
even more Juvenile in his actions than
Sweetest Susan. He made the children
call him Joe, and asked them where there
was a shelter where he could put his sad
die to keep it out of the dew.

Buster John.
