When the man made a second de-
mand for the pocketbook the girl
stepped close to him and handed" it
to him, but not in the manner ex-
pected. She just landed one on the
jaw with the hand that carried the
pocketbook. The leather spread out
over the little fist, and, as there was
considerable silver in it, the blow was
vicious. The robber went down in q
heap.
He was on his feet in a second and
came back at the girl with a look of

Hand me that pocketbook," he
growled.
"All right" answered the girl, strik-
ing him again on the side of the jaw.
This time the man did not get up so

CANINE FAITHFULNESS.
Although Completely Exhausted,
Two Game Hounds Kept n Bear
freed Nine Days

The mysterious disappearance of
two valuable hounds owned by A. w.
Combs, of Oakland. says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle, has been explained,
and the story behind it proves one of
the most remarkable cases of canine
faithfu,ness and determination ever
recorded. Combs was one of a party
of hunters who returned few DAYS
ago from a weeks hunting trip in the
mountains back of Crescent City, Del
Norte county.
The party had taken along four
hounds, which were missed during the
first night in the mountains. They
had evidently strayed away during the
night, and for the following four days
the hunters were without their COM
ranions, On the fourth day, however,
two of IKE hounds returned to camp.
the two belonging to Combs being
finally given up Cor lost or stolen.
When the hunters were ready to start
for home they informed Superior
Judge Cutler of the mysterious dis
appearance of the two hounds and re-
quested him to advertise a reward for
their return in his name.
One day last week Mr. Combs re-
Richmond planet. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1883-1938, 1901-01-05

ceived a letter from Judge Cutler con-
veying the happy news that the
hounds had been recovered. Judge
Cutler writes that they were found
in the mountains several miles from
where the Oaklanders had been hunt
ing by a miner, who had heard them
barking for several days. The miner
had gone to investigate and found two
hounds holding the fort at the base of
a large tree into which a bear had
climbed for safety from their attack
This was nine days after they had
been missed from the hunters camp,
and for several days they had re-
manned on watch at this particular
tree. They were completely exhausted
and very nearly starved to death, as
was also the bear, which the miner
killed.

IF YOU WANT GOOD HEALTH.

Never go TO bed with cold or damp
feet
Never lean with the back upon any
thing that is cold
Never take warm drinks and then
Immediately go out into the cold.
Never omit regular bathing, for,
unless the skin is in active condition,
the cold will close the pores and favor
congestion or other diseases.
After exercise of any kind never
ride in an open carriage or near the
window of train for moment; it
Is dangerous to health and even life.
When hoarse, speak as little as pos
sible until the hoarseness is recovered
from, else the voice may be perma-
nently lost or difficulties of the throat
be produced.
Merely warm the back by the fire,
and never continue keeping the back
exposed to heat after it has become
comfortably warm. To do otherwise
Is facilitating.
Keep the back, especially between
the shoulder blades, well covered;
also the chest well protected. In
sleeping in cold room establish the
habit of breathing through the nose,
and never with the mouth open.-Ta-
BILE Talk.
