DRESSED BIRDS ARE DEAD.
Fault Finding Poultry

During last Thanksgiving week poultry
man of the northwest sent several barrelfu1s
of fat, dressed turkeys to a certain commits
sion merchant, who is an extremely .'close
buyer" and never fails when he receives a
consignment to claim an allowance for some
thing alleged to have spoiled on the way.
Heretofore, says the San Francisco Argo-
naut, he had dealt exclusively in live
fowls fs and probably the correspondents
shipper was astonished to receive letter BY
return mail about as follows:
Dear Sir: We regret to advise you that
four OF. the turkeys in your consignment Of
November reached here dead. Please make
deduction for same and return correct
amount. Yours truly"
The poultryman communed with himself
and replied thus:
Dear Sir: I am sorry to say 1 find it i'm
possible to make the concession requested.
have established a rule requiring all Gus.
toners who desire live dressed turkeys to
notify us in advance, so we can send them

and insides are liable to catch cold if shipped
in the ordinary manner. The mortality
among dressed turkeys was very large this
year. Yours mournfully."

CHAPTER vi.

One morning in the month of July,
when Ronald returned from his to-
bacco field, he found a score or more
mountaineers in the front yard. They
were discussing an awful crime that
had been committed about dawn that
day. Mrs. Telplay. widow who lived
alone in q cottage at the foot of the
mountain, was found brutally MUIR
dered. 1t had been generally known
that she kept quite sum of money
in an old hair trunk under her bed,
having always refused to take the adj
vice of her friends to put her savings
in q more secure place. The trunk
was found to have been split open by
the bloody AK which had killed the
owner, and the money was gone.
Sydney Hart, tall, raw-boned
young man, with sharp black eyes and
a big mustache dyed to match, sat
astride his fine horse and told what he
knew of the affair. AS he talked he
famed his aquiline face with his
sombrero.
'As soon as JEFF. that's her niger
house boy, came in to make the fires, -
he was saying as Ronald approached,
'.he seed what had happened, an run
out to give the alarm"
Didn't nobody suspicion Jef7'
queried old Fanshaw, who sat On the
steps IN his stockings.

He shrank from her as if she had
struck him in the face. And with a
little haunting laugh, Evelyn left him.
She was so agitated that she avoided
the others who were listening to the
negroes as they sang spirited ballad.
IF Ronald Fanshaw could have WIT
messed what passed at Carnleigh that
evening. it might have softened his
sharp self-censure for what he had
done in the heat of passion. He had
always looked upon duelling as radi-
cally wrong, and he now told himself
he had gone too far in further hunili-
ating a man after he had tacitly
thrown himself on his mercy. Before
he had quilted the colonel's wood that
morning he was brought face to face
with product of his example that
added fresh sting to his general dis
content.
He had almost reached the boundary
fence when he came upon his shaggy
haired, barefooted brother, standing
swampy spot. Dave was leaning on a
rife as tall and sturdy-looking as him
self, an old-fashioned treasure which
he brought out only on special occa-
sions, such as prize shooting matches
at which he was champion shot
aud when there was a threatened
'sblack uprising"
''Why, Dave, what are you doing
here?" Ronald asked, in astonish-
ment.
Huh! I amt a-doin' nothin'. but
| what I would a-done, ef I'd a-been
needed, would a-been a plenty"
His brother stared at him.
"You mean you thought of taking a
| hand, Daye?"

chance fust," said the fellow; "but,
you bet, was a-goin' to see which one
was able to keep on his feet after the

FRIGHTENING THE LIONS.
Story of an Explorer Who Has Seen
Life In the Wilds OF
Africa.

NJ. Foa, the French explorer, says
that lions have a wholesome fear Of
African wolves, which hunt in packs;
and do not scruple to attack even
the lion. There are terrible battles
in which the lion succumbs to
numbers, and dies fighting. In con-
nection with the lions fear of wolves,
M. Foa tells a story from his own
experience.
It was a very dark night, so black
that trees could not be dstin-
guished until the travellers were close
upon them. Lions prowled about the
party, one of them roaring from a
point SO close as to have an alarming
effect on the nerves. The animals
could not be seen. but they could be
heard on all sides.
Reaching tree, the men found one
of their comrades with rifle cooked
peering into the darkness, trying to
discover the whereabouts of the an:
imals, that could be plainly heard
walking among the leaves. A second
man was trying to relight a half
extinguished torch. Still the lions
could be heard coming and going in
the darkness.
At this point the native servant
whispered the advice to initiate the
cry of wolves in the distance The
party at once began barking and
shouting: "Hu! hu! hui" in an under
tone. as if the pack were still at a
distance, while the men at the camp
made the same well-imitated cry.
The effect was instantaneous. There
was the sound of rapid stampede
across the dry leaves. The lions
decamped in a panic, driven off by
the supposed approach Of pack OF
wolves. For the rest of the night
the party was NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
