BURRo SERVES AS A GUIDE.
From the london Chronicle.

AOAA tic 1OlluOI1 NnIOIllCles
The burro, veritable ship of the
Western desert, will live longer with
out water and scent it further than
any other known animal except the
camel. AS an example of the keen
scent of the burro for water, Arthur
]. Burdick rates, in "The Mystic Re-
gion," the experience of two prospec-
tors named Peterson and Kelley. A
few years ago they attempted to cross
the Great Mohave desert on foot, with
a burro to carry their supplies.
In passing from oasis to oasis they
lost their way and the supply of water
became exhausted. To be lost In the
desert is a terrible thing, and ankle
ty, coupled with torturing thirst and
the intense heat, drove Peterson in
sane. He left his companion and fled,
shrieking, across the plain. Kelley
picketed the burro and went after Pet
erson to bring him back, but was un-
able to overtake him.
He returned to the trail to find that
his burro had broken his tether and
was moving across the desert at a
leisurely pace. He followed, but the
animal was so far in the lead and he
was so exhausted from his efforts to
overtake Peterson that he could not
come UP to the burro.
Night came upon him and 1t soon be-
came so dark that he could not distin-
guish the burro. He had to follow it
by the footprints in the sand. When it
became too dark to distinguish the
footprints Kelley still staggered on in
sheer desperation.
By and by his heart gave great
throb. Before him, outlined against the
sky and seemingly suspended in the
air, was form which he knew to be
either his burro or an apparition. He
hurried forward, and, 10! standing up
on a sharp rise of ground and facing
him was his lost burro! The burro
seemed to be awaiting him, for when
he came UP the animal turned and led
the way down the incline to a spring
of living water.

CALL OF THE WILD GEESE.
Takes Farmer BurtOn's Flock of
Half Breeds Southwark.
From dc New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
BRENNAN, Tex, Oct. S.-Charles Bur-
ton, a farmer living near here, lost a
fine flock of fifteen geese a few days
ago as the result Of "the call of the
wild" to them. One day last winter
while he was duck hunting on the San
Felipe, flock of wild geese settled
down on the water near his blind. He
fired and crippled the wing of a big
gander.
With the aid of his retriever Mr..
Burton captured the wounded fowl and
carried it home. He doctored the in
Jured wing and the gander soon re-
vived. By clipping his feathers he
was prevented from flying and he took
up with Mr.. Buttons flock of tame
geese.
Mr.. Burton's geese brought forth a
large spring brood and they thrived
exceedingly. The wild blood in some
of the goslings was plainly discernible,
but in their habits they had all the
characteristics of the tame goose.
1t was not until a week or two ago
that any marked difference between
the actions of the half breeds and of
the pure blooded geese was noticed.
A certain nervousness seemed to come
over the ndlI- DreeQS Wnen the nrSt
chill in the fall air reached them from
the north. They continued to be per-
fectly tame and were always on hand
at feeding time, morning and evening.
They had shown little disposition to
use their wings, although the few short
flights they had taken about the place
showed that they had inherited the ma
tive strength of wing of their hardy
sire from the far north.
The first real "norther" of the sea-
son struck this part of the country
a few days ago. AS is always the case
1t marked the beginning of the arrival
of the first wild ducks and geese from
the north. Mr.. Burton, out feeding his
geese, heard the distant call of wild
geese. He looked about him and far
TO the northeast he saw coming in his
direction a large flock of the feathered
visitors.
The calls of the migrating fowls
came nearer and nearer. He looked at
his flock of half-b breeds and was sur
prised to see that they had stopped
eating and were listening intently to
the strange call that came down to
them from above. Suddenly the half
breeds began to answer. Then they rails
ed their wings and scared away, direct
to the migrating flock, forming in line
behind the leader as naturally as could
be. The last Mr.. Burton saw of them
they were headed for the Gulf of Mex
leo. He has no hope of seeing them
again.
