messenger, who knew the contents of
the note. 'Twould be folly to travel
back TO Verplancks and give them time
to take me on the road, or intercept
me on the other side, If they deemed it
worth their while. My feeling VAS that
they were merely a gang Of Skinners
pillaging this man like all others. But
they might be, too, some Of the eS-

important, and the chance OF coming to

PRIZE A STORY.
Three New Jersey Snakes MIXED Tho
Cows Every Day.

SS"s vi 1aJ
For some time the cow owned by G..
Lee Stout, president OF the Merchants
Insurance company, ave not been CIV
ing as much milk as their caretaker,
Frank Hochstuhl, thought they should.
The animals were pastured In a lot on
the old Watessing lake property, owned
by Mr.. Stout, In Bloomfield, N. j., and
not far from Hochstuhl's residence.
The latter began to watch the COWS,
believing that ONE person with q
%fondness for pure milk was milking
them on the quiet. Mochstuhl kept a
close watch, but his surveillance
awaited him nothing, and he was much
perplexed.
At q certain hour he discovered the
cows would walk to a spot lear the lit
tie police station on Conger street,
where they would remain for about
half an hour, and then approach the
bars of the pasture lot, awaiting the
arrival of Hochstuhl to take them
home. Hochstuhl found the animals
apparently in the best of condition, but
comparatively dry.
The mystery was suddenly explained
last Saturday afternoon, when George
Campbell came across three good-sized
milk snakes. They had just evidently
finished milking the COWS, for all were
fat and lazy n enjoying n sun bath,
Campbell killed two, but the third ne
captured alive and exhibited about
town.
The animals now give double the
quantity OF milk they formerly did.

And all the small brown birds by frost

And sad and slow the silly sheep do go,
All seeking shelter TO and fro;
Come once again,
To these familiar. silent, misty lands,
Unlatch the lockless door,
And cross the dTifted floor,

And warm thy frozen hands,
BY the old flame once more.
All, hearts desire, once more by the
Old fire. stretch out thy hands.
