Estrays.

An estray is defined in the range
states as domesticated animal of
commercial value, found wandering
from it's owner No individual has
the right to take up and detain q do
nestle animal, unless it be to save
it from perishing, or unless it breaks
into a lawful enclosure-that is to
say, an Enclosure surrounded by a
lawful fence, or unless there is good
reason for the belief that the animal
is lost from it's owner
The Montana code provides that
| eff any person save any
domestic animal from drowning or
from starving when such property is
the value of $40 or more, he must
inform the owner thereof, if known
and make restitution without COM
pensation further than a reasonable
charge for saving and taking care
thereof" but if the owner of the ami
NAL is not known, the detainer must
go before a justice of the peace with
in five days and make affidavit to
all facts. Appraisers are appointed,
/
praisement' with the county clerk. If
the property is worth over $40 the
finder must also have description
of the property published. After a
| lapse of a certain time the property
| vests in the detainer. Or, if the own
err appear he must pay all reasonable
charge And the codes further pro-
vide that if the above procedure is
not substantially followed the detain-
er of such property is liable in dam
ages to the owner in twice the value
of the property found; or, if the de
tainer appropriates the property tc
his own use without attempting tc
discover the owner by reasonable eff
fort, he is guilty of larceny and is
subject to punishment accordingly
The above is the proper course tt
pursue when stock is taken up to pre-
vent it from perishing, but there is
also simpler course to pursue wheT
there Is good reason to believe thai
the animal taken up is lost from its
owner-is an estray. In such case
all that is necessary is to make rea
sonable search and inquiry for thu
owner, and when the charges o
keeping, etc. amount to two-third
of the value of the animal, publish
, notice stating the time and place o
sale, and sell the estray to the high
: est bidder.
And, thirdly If any animal breal
into an Enclosure surrounded by
lawful fence, the party injured ca
detain the said stock until all dam
ages and reasonable keeping charge
are paid by the owner of the dis
trained stock, and may be enforce
the same as the last instance above.

cumbent was upstairs temporarily in
capacitated, owing to n too close ac
quaintance with Mr. Streling's wine.
The cook had left in disgust, and the
housemaid, in q bewildered condition,
had just informed the master of this
chaotic household that there was no
dinner. So MIR. Strelling turned back
into the hall, donned his hat and over
coat and went out into the wintry night
to search for a restaurant. II there
was one thing that MIR. Suelling did
dislike. it was eating in restaurants.
AS he sat alone at the restaurant TIA
bic he found himself descending into
regular vat of the blues.
After all, what did his life mean?
Just toiling for money, And for whom?
There was no relative he cared pin
for. And it seemed all at once to be
borne upon him with most painful
sharpness and force that he had made
a bad mess of his happiness.
lie was not man to care for clubs
or a sporting life Every one said he
ought to have married. But every one
did not know that he had had his ro-
y
that, being possessed of the rare quail
tiles of constancy and depth of affec-
tion he had never since cared enough
for any woman to marry her.
AS he sat there at the solitary table
the face of his old love came up be-
fore him. 1t was that of a merry eyed,
happy girl of eighteen with light brown
hair always blowing about her face in
little tufts.
Suddenly he heard his name called
"Richardr'
He turned in surprise, No woman
called him Richard now. 1t was a
womans voice. But no one was there.
"Great Scott, | suppose | dozed off
waiting for that waiter. No, | don't
think | was asleep. Well, | must be
getting light in the head. I'll shake
myself out of this and so to the thea
ter. Tomorrow I'll put on the house a
sign, TO Let" Then the discomforts
of a boarding house doomed up before
him in sickening array.
''Well, but what is to be done? II
seems there must be a feminine head
to house. And where am l going tt
get her? l suppose | ought to have
married. No. oughtn't. What's more
] won't"
Firm in this resolution, he paid hi:
check and went out. Every one wa.
carrying parcels and great punches o
holly and Christmas trees, and they al
looked so eager to get home the sigh
grew quite maddening. Presently b.
found himself trying to elbow through
solid mass of humanity before
store window.
Strelling as obliged to pause or els
walk over two children in front of hin

snow Dick, mamma will feel awful
ly sorry If you do that. You are almost
man, you know. Please don't cry"
The five years of manhood made a
heroic attempt at self control and dug
his red mitten industriously into his
eyes, whereat the little mother of nine
kissed him affectionately.
Now come along. Mamma is wait
ing for us in the bakery. And, oh,
she'll think we're lost"
1--WE don't have to pay money just
to look, do we?"
Strelling, strangely Interested, had
listened to every word and several
times the tears had been very near his
eyes. AS they turned to 50 he bent
down and put a collar in the girls
hand.
Buy something for the little chap
with it." he said in a low voice.
ooh, II wouldn't dare to keep it.
Mamma wouldn't let me. Thank you,
SIR
And she put the money in his hand.
This was so unexpected that Strel-
ling became still more interested.

"Dick was just little bit of baby
when he died.
AT that moment a small, thin woman
dressed in black and wearing a black
veil about Il plain little hat, not notic-
ing him, made dash for the children.
Connie, why did you stay so long?
I was afraid you were lost" she said.
"Dick wanted to look at Santa
Claus"
Poor little boy! 1t will be all the
Christmas he will get" sighed the
small woman, taking the child's hand
and drawing him out of the crowd.
Strelling followed. But how was he
to get up the courage to speak? These
people were not the sort to accept
aims. He felt quite nonplused and
helpless. Then the little girl began
telling her mother of his offer and
her refusal.
"That was right" said the woman,
with kind of sob in her voice.
Then Strelling made a bold break.
He stepped up to her side.
pardon me, madam" he said, "but
l want to ask you to let the little girl
take the money. 1t is a very small
amount, and it will be doing me ia
vor"
She started away from him in sort
of fear. Then the kindness Of his voi-e
emboldened her to listen,
"It is very good of you" she STAN
mered out in her embarrassment. My
little girl may take the money. and |
thank you very much. But we did
| not ask it"
Certainly not. / understand that"
quickly responded Strelling, feeling the
note of pride in the answer. But It
seems the right of all children to have
gifts at Christmas, and | have none to
give to. l would like to ask you to LET
me add to this trife a Christmas tree

He found himself speaking 10 this
poorly dressed little woman as though
she were an empress Somehow he's
soft voice and gentle dignity madg

face was quite indistinct under bel
veil in the darkness.
Thank you she answered, but
don't think we could quite manage a

for you"
ut isn't that she hesitated.
