Greyhound. for they expected to see him. get badly beaten.
 There was wide stretch of meadow, where the animals held all their gatherings, and there they marked out a race track, expect ing to see som: fun.
 One fine afternoon they all assembled al the new race track to see how badly Mir. Greyhound was going to get beaten. They had selected Me. Fox to race against him, and after q while the runners took their places. They started amid wild applause, for at first Mir Fox Kept well In the lead, as Mir. Greyhound. was slew in starting and gathering his fui. speed When they had gone abou+ half way around the track Mir Greyhound began to gain, soon passing MT. Fox, as if he wore standing still, and came in an eas. winner, with MT. Fox long way behind.
 Then Mir. Wolf stepped up, and offered to race MT. Greyhound, and when he had rested a while they both took their places. "Go.'' said Judge Bear, who was the starter, and they started. This rae. wa quite exciting for long time, and every one thought that MT Wolf was going to win. He kept ahead much longer than Mr. Fox had done, but at the finish Mir. Greyhound passed him and wop as he pleased.
 All of the animals were very much sur pr.sed at the way MT. Greyhound could run and every one called for Brother Rabbit, who, they said. must be the very fastest runner in Animal Land, for no one could

 Then let us exchange shoes and race down the road here," said Brother Rabbit. T can show you then in a very few minutes who is the faster runner."
 This hurt MT. Greyhound's pride, and he sat down by the roadside and began to take off his shoes. Brother Rabbit followed his example. and in very few minutes they had exchanged shoes and were ready for the race. But as soon as Brother Rabbit found that MT. Greyhounds fine, new shoes fitted him he jumped into the bushes and started to run for home as fast as his legs would carry him.
 When MT. Greyhound realized that Brother Rabbit was stealing his shoes he started in pursuit, and they had a fine race of it. Brother Rabbit had Il good start and ran like the wind, but Mr. Greyhound was so angry that his feet fairly flew over the ground, and he soon began to gain. Brother Rabbit looked back over his shoulder and was sur prised to see how close MT. Greyhound was.
 
 the faster he ran the faster MT. Greyhound ran, and he saw that the way things were going he would soon be caught. Mir Grey hound kept getting closer and closer, and Brother Rabbit grew desperate; then he thought of Q hiding place near by, and ran toward that. Just as Mir, Greyhound was so close that he could almost touch him, Brother Rabbit jumped into a big hole i'll the ground, with MT Greyhound at his heels. They raced down the hole into the ground, but the hole soon got so small that MT. Grey hound could not follow Brother Rabbit any determined to get his nice new shoes back. so he lay down in the hole where he was, and prepared to wait until Brother Rabbit should want to come out. The hole had an other opening that was large enough for Brother Rabbit, but entirely too small for MT. Greyhound, so Brother Rabbit came out of the other end and sat down to get his breath.
 Then he went around to the opening that he and Mir. Greyhound had entered, and filled it full of sticks and stones and every thing that he couG carry, so thas wien Mr. Greyhound got tired of waiting and tried to come out he found the entrance was blocked and he could not get out of 1t. Then
The age-herald., 1901-07-14

he knew that there must be another open ing in the tunnel, and started to find it, but the hole grew so small as he went on that he had to stop. He stayed in the hole for long while. trying every day to get out, and he always failed and almost starvedto death.
 Finally he got so thin that he managed to squeeze out of the little hole that Brother Rabbit had left open. He was so hungry that he could almost eat grass, and he started for MT. Dogs home on a run. He was surprised to find that he could run much faster than he had ever done before, and

 watching the races while flirting with Miss
 Cow, and he came forward to race willingly enough, as he felt sure he could beat MT. Greyhound, for he had very high opinion of himself. When MT. Greyhound had rested they took their places and started when Judge Bear said "Go.' MT. Rabbit was quicker on his feet than any other ami nal, so when the word was given he got a much better start than either MT. Fox or Mr. Wolf had done. His very first jump took him a long way ahead of MT. Grey hound, who was just thinking about start

 The next day, as MT. Greyhound was talk ing a walk down the road, he met Brother Rabbit.
 ''Ah! Good morning. said MT. Greyhound. How do you feel after our little contest of yesterday"

this pleased him so much that he decided to remain thin. He has never eaten very large meals since that time, and all of the family have followed his example, so that they are the thinnest animals there are, and they can all run fast enough to beat Brother Rabbit easily.

Mir. Greyhound was not always as thin as he is now, although he was never stout. Still, he was as large and heavy as Mr. Dog, his cousin, until the time he lost his new shoes. and this Is how it happened:
 Mir. Greyhound was visiting at MT. Dog house for the first time. He had never been in Animal Land before, having always lived in the city and all he heard and saw seemed very strange to him. although Mir. Dog said that he would soon get used to it. Mir.

Found on a Grnphophons cylinder Neu
in Court

Pound on 0raphophone cylinder New
in Court.
The supreme court in st. Petersburg
has before it one OF the most curious
cases on record. The tribunal is called
upon to decide whether a will left on
a graphophone cylinder is valid Or
whether the strange last win and tes-
lament should be disregarded IN the
settlement Of an estate. One Of the
weaIthiest land proprietors near Smo-
lensk died a few months ago. and after
the funeral his heirs began 70 look for
his will They fancied that this task
would be merely perfunctory and that
the document would be found among
the other family papers. but. much to
their surprise. they were unable to find
the slightest trace OF H. Every room
and article OF furniture in the house
was then carefully searched. but the
result was the same. and the only CON
clusion at which the heirs could arrive
was either that no will had ever been
made or that II one had been made il
was destroyed before their kinsman's
death. The missing document. how
ever, was found a few days ago in the
strangest place imaginable A young
man was rambling through the house.
and happening 70 see a graphophone
on a table In the library. he examined
It to see II It was IN working order. and
finding that It was he put a record in
#. which he supposed vas that OF some
popular Russian song. What was his
amazement. however when instead OK
a song he heard the dead mans voice
slowly recite the words Of the missing
will. The heirs were promptly not-
fed Of this discovery and thov lost no
time in carefully examininiA abe rec
ord containing the viii It was found
to be fawless. and the question then
arose whether such a viii would be
deemed valid BY the courts or not.
