Sam started toward the canyon, two

a yell of agony.

Sam was so scared that he didn't
wait to look back over his shoulder.
He was over the edge into the canyon
like a flash, and had disappeared in the
scrub pine before the astonished
Apaches came to their senses, and
Packsaddle knew he could make good

When the Indians realized how they
had been fooled they set up terrific
yelling and started for their remain

didn't wait to receive them. AS Sam
went over the side of the canyon he
bounded away like a frightened ante

it would have taken a pretty good In

A dozen of the braves started in pur-
suit, but an Apache is a poor runner,
and Packsaddle rapidly gained upon
them. Then the chief called to those
who were following to drop down and a
shower of arrows flew after the re-
treating white man.
A sharp pain in his foot told Parks

A DOGS STRATEGY.
A Good Bone Trick That Proved Alto
gether Successful

Don may be less active than in his
youth" said the owner of an old
shepherd dog, but his intelligence is
by no means on the decline. He has
been very much annoyed of late by the
conduct of a neighbours dog, that is
too lazy TO bury bones for its own con-
sumption, but greatly enjoys unearth-
ing the treasures of others. When Don
had been cheated out of several of his
boarded stores in this way, he evident
ly meditated over the matter until a
bright idea came to him. One day
after dinner, when the neighbor's. dog
was out of the way, Don began to dig
a hole not far from where l sat watch
ing him. / noticed that he dug the hole
unusually deep, and in it he deposited
a large and highly desirable bone. Their
he covered it well over with earth. dis
appeared for a moment, and came trot-
ting back with a small bone, which
good enough in Dons opinion for a
thief. This bone he laid on the earth
which hid the big one. and scraped the
earth over it with elaborate care. I
was enough interested in this, clever
ruse to watch results, and had the
of seeing, that it was en-
tirely successful. Early the next morn
ing the thief seized what he thought
an opportune moment, dug up the
bone and scampered away;
while later in the Don reaped the re-
ward of his wisdom, as he sat MUNICH

FAMILY FUN.
Some New and Simple Games to Play
By freight In the Evening.

SOuiC 4sCW anu SInplS GdnlSS 10 RAY
By freight In the Evening.
To play this game. one member of
the company is chosen by lot and be-
comes the cricket. The cricket then
writes upon a piece of paper the name
of some kind of grain, and folds it, so
that no one else can see it. Then the
cricket begins his search, saying some
thing like this:
My good friends, l am very, very
hungry. You ants are known as good
providers, with always plenty to eat
in your houses. Will not one of you
give me some kind of provision, now
that it is too cold for me to seek food ?''
Then, as the cricket stops before one
of the ants, he or she says:
i can give you grain of wheat"
If wheat is not the name of the grain
written down, the cricket must refuse
in some such terms as:
Wheat does not agree with my con-
dition," and then the cricket is to adj
dress himself to all the ants in turn,
and is to find some apt reply TO the
offer of all the grains until the one
written down is reached, when he says:
Thank you; that is just what 1 have
been longing for. Now, seeing that it
is better to be an ant than d cricket,
l propose to become an ant, and you
may be cricket in my place"
As the cricket says this, all the COM
pany jump up and try TO escape, and
the cricket pursues until he catches
one, who becomes cricket in turn.
A GREEK GAME
a game played by Greek children is
to have a long string tied together so
that all the players can make ii into
circle by claSping the hands over it,
palms down ano thumbs touching.
One player is stood in the middle of
this ring, and the object of this person
is to slap the hands of one OF those
holding the ribbon before he can let
go. Sometimes the slaps are quite
smart but never too hard. 1T is very
difficult for the player in the center to
hit anyone's hands at all, as he is at a
disadvantage, but whenever he does,
that person must take his or her place
in the center of the ring.
A rather noisy, but very funny game
is where one member of the party is
made the victim of a merry prank. 1t
requires a tiny bell, such as are fast
ened to the collars of small dogs or
cats. This should have a wide loop
just large enough to make it easy to
slip over the button at the back of a
mans coat. The company always man
ages to choose someone who has never
seen the game played, and he is chosen
by acclaim to be blindfolded and to
catch the person who has the bell By
the time he is blindfolded, someone has
adroitly hooked the loop of the bell
over the button at the back of his coat.
Then someone calls out:
BLACK and white,
Blue and gray;
Turn around three times
And catch whom you may"
This is the signal for noisy, merry
game. The victim hears the bell, al
ways behind him, and turns and crabs
in hopeless confusion, catching one
after another, but never the right one.
