quiet could be maintained while the
programme was being carried out, and
the last word had hardly been spoken
before the rush was on again with more
force than before.

General Manager came along and the stu

the section foreman who was working near,

back and find the corpse and then wire

The Trick the Coyotes Played on the Bull
Terrier.
Scribncr's

The coyote challenge sounded close to
the Chimneypot Ranch after the sundown.
A dozen dogs responded with the usual
clamor. But only the bull-terrier dashed
toward the place whence the coyotes had
called, for the reason that he only was
loose. But his chase was fruitless and
he came back growing. Twenty minutes
later there was another coyote yell close
at hand. Away dashed the terrier as be-
fore. In minute his excited yapping
told that he had sighted his game and was
in full chase. Away he went, furiously
barking, until his voice was lost afar and
never more was heard. In the morning
the men read in the snow the tale of the
night The first cry Of the coyote was
to find out if all the dogs We're loose; then.
having found that only one was free, they
laid plan. Five coyotes hid along the
side of the trail. one went forward and
called till it had decoyed the rash terrier,
and then led him right into the ambush.
What chance had he with six? They
tore him limb from limb and devoured
him, too, at the very spot where once he
had worried CoyOtito. And next morn
ing, when the men came, they saw by the

topped of with olives arranged in pyra-

Green cages and tamarindS soaked in
wine and pieces of fried red melon were
all arranged in the pyramid bamboo
