Caught Himself.

An extraordinary thing happened
to Nathan Plummer, of Duluth. He
is 60 years old and late one night con-
ceived the idea that somebody was
after him to kill him. He started to
hide in the woods and was caught so
firmly in a barb wire fence that he
could not disengage himself. He at
tempted to crawl through the wires
and having q heavy oyercoat on and
the space SO narrow he was firmly
held and remained in the position for
about eighteen hours, when his cries
attracted attention. - .:.-.-l -. ! -.

try, but it soon lost it's effect, for the
spirits which it raised sent a mad
sprightliness into the feet of all, which
only the rasp of a fiddle or the breath
of concertina could appease or COM
mand. At last tall Medallion, whose
ways were those of the blessed of this
world and who had his fingers on all
the little comedies and tragedies of
the parish, stood up in the middle of
the floor and proposed q game. Every
one was still for moment, for Medal
lion had great resources and whimsical
ideas. His was the gift of making men
and women laugh, not so much at him
self as at themselves. Besides, he had
a heart. Protestant though he was,
even the cure trusted him, and the lit
tie chemist worshiped him.
''See, my Children he said, with his
sharp eyes twinkling, "since Vigord is

the Little Wolf. I'll whistle. Well,
whoever at the end shall stand alone
in the center must tell a very fine
story. 1t must be Of love, it must be
like play and it must be true"
At this every one laughed. "M'sieu'
Medallion is so droll," they said.

with a laugh she sprang down from

wound in and out of the rooms, Medal
lion standing in the center of the floor,
having changed his whistling to sing
song kind of chant. The long, waving,
loving line linking like chains, curv-
ing into circles, parting, joining again,
first slowly, then faster and faster,
now suddenly in a pretty column back
and forth, the men together, then the
women-fashing eyes, waving black
hair, the warm breath Of youth filling
the room with an ecstasy wherein ev-
cry little care and alarm Of life was
swallowed up, and at last there came
a sudden moment of confusion, the
hurly burly Of laughter and sweet af-
fright or contentment, as the hazard
Of the dance grew. Presently all part
ed, and Marie stood alone in the cen.
ter of the floor, with Antoine on one
side not far and Alphonse on the other.
There were laughter and storm of
clapping. marie! Mariew they all
cried. ''The story! The true love
storyv'
Antoine ran his fingers through his
hair, shook the little gold rings in his
ears and grinned at Marie, then at
Babette. Alphonse was nervous, and
his eyes had a kind of wild hunger as
he looked at Marie.
Marie glanced round the room. smil-
ing naively, gave Alphonse a quick
sidelong glance Of torturing coquetry
and then caught Medallion's eyes. He
was looking at her with a whimsical,
suggestive smile. She flashed one back
All at once something defiant swept
over her face, wave of emotion
which seemed to lift her all at once
into an atmosphere apart from them
all, independent Of them all. Some in
herent dramatic strain in her master

to her finger tips. She stepped back a

They drew away on either side, but
