A PECULIAR CASE.

Bridgeport, Ala, April 25th.-A re-
markable case and one which has puz'
zled a great many people is reported
here. 1t is the case of a lady who evil

opportunities could hardly avoid doing
so. His place in the business world
was assured. He had no occasion for
concern.
For most men this would have been
prosperity sufficient; yet never did Ed
ward Franklin lie down with the long
breath of the man content; and ever
in his dreams there came the vague
beckoning of hand still half unseen.
Haunting him with the sense of the
unfulfilled, the face of Mary Ellen
was ever in the shadow; of Mary
Ellen, who had sent him away forever;
of Mary Ellen, who was wasting her
life on prairie ranch, with naught to
inspire and none to witness the flower
ing of her soul.
So much for the half-morbid frame
of mind due for the most part to the
reflex of body made sick by an ir-
regular and irrational life. This much.
too. Franklin could have established
of his own philosophy. Yet this was
not all, nor was the total so easily
to be explained away.
Steadily, and with an insistence
somewhat horrible, there came to
Franilin's mind a feeling that this
career which he saw before him would
not always serve to satisfy him. Losing
no touch of the democratic loyalty to
his fellow-men, he none the less clear
ly saw himself in certain ways be-
coming inexorably separated from his
average fellow-man. The executive
instinct was still as strong within him,
but he felt it more creative, and he
longed for finer material than the
seamy side of mans petty strifes with
man. made possible under those artifi-
.cial laws which marked mans com
promise with Nature. Longing for the
satisfying. for the noble things. he
found himself irresistibly facing to-
ward the past, and irresistibly con-
WINGED that in that past, as in the
swiftly marching present. there might
be some lesson. not ignoble and not I'M
comforting. Mortified that he could
not rest in the way that he had chosen,
distracted at these intangible desires,
he doubted at times his perfect sanity;
for though It seemed there was within
him the impulse to teach and to create,
he could not say to himself what or
how was to be the form, whether men
tai or material, of the thing created,

Faithful DoQS.

The faithfulness of the dogis well
known, though not appreciated as it
should be- Perhaps most faithful of
all the species is the Eskimo dog
We learn the following about this
animal from the writings of Frederick
Schwatka, who made wonderful trip
on a sledge from Hudson Bay to the
Arctic Ocean. The sledges were drawn
by the dogs, and he started out with
sixty of them, returning with only
nineteen, all the rest dying of starva-
ton en- route.
Says Schwatka:
"They were, through all this terri
BILE time, perfect respecters of their
human allies, and the little children
used to go among them and play
with them by pelting them with toy
whips yet the same dogs were starv-
ing, and should one of them die, his
comrades would eat him. | notice this
particularly, as some sensational writ
ers have tried to make their readers
believe that the Eskimo dogs are IL
able to become dangerous fellows,
even to a powerfully built man, when
simply hungry. and to be worse than
wild beasts when ravenous. Any on
slaught of Eskimo dogs is unknown
among the natives where | Travelled.
1T was pitiable in the extreme to
see their sufferings, as they devotedly
helped us along-many of them up to
the very minute they had to be taken
from the harness and abandoned along
the road. AS they dropped out along
the way, we harnessed ourselves in
their places to the sledge traces, and
il was thus we were not compelled to
leave certain parts of our load"

CHAPTER XIV.
The Great Cold.


The land lay trusting and defence
less under a cynical sky, which was
unthreatening but hooking. Dotting
a stretch of country thirty miles on
either side of the railway. and extend
ing as far to the east and west along
it's line. there were scattered hundreds
of homes, though often these were
separated one from the other by many
miles of open prairie. Most of them
contained families. Men had brought
hither their wives and children--little
children, sometimes babes, tender,
needful of warmth and care. For
these stood guardian the gaunt coal
chutes of the town. with the demands
of population of twenty-five hundred,
to say nothing of the settlers round
about hundred tons for thousand
families, scattered, dwelling out along
breaks and coulees, and on worn hill
sides, and at the ends of long, faint,
wandering trails. which the first whirl
of snow would softly and cruelty wipe
away.

been none the winter before. The
trappers and skin-hunters said that the
winter was rarely severe. The rail-
road men had ranged west all the win
ter, threats exposed and coats left at
the wagons. 1t was a mild country, a
gentle, tender country. In this laugh
ing sky who could see any cynicism?
One morning the sun rose with
swift bound into cloudless field. The
air was mild, dead absolutely silent
and motionless. The wires along the
railway alone sang loudly, as though
in warning-a warning unfounded and
without apparent cause. Yet the sigh
ing in the short grass was gone. In
the still air the smokes of the town
rose directly upright; and answering
to them faint, thin spires rose here
and there far out over the prairies, all
straight, answering. ominous, ter
rible. There was great hush,
calm, pause upon all things. The
sky was blue and cloudless, but at
last it could not conceal the mockery
it bore upon its face, so that when
men looked at it and listened to the
singing of the wires they stopped, and
without conscious plan hurried on,
silent, tc The nearest company.
Somewhere, high up in the air, un-
heralded, invisible, there were pass
ing some thin inarticulate sounds, far
above the tops of the tallest smoke
spires, as though some Titan blew
far Jest across the continent to an
other near the sea, who answered
with a gusty laugh, sardonic grim,
foreknowing Every horse free on the
range came into the coulees that morn
ing. and those which were fenced in
ran up and down excitedly. Men ate
and smoked and women darned, and
babes played. In a thousand homes
there was content with this new land,
so wild at one time, but now so quick
iy tanned, so calm, so gentle, so thor
oughly subdued.

Franklin smiled in spite of himself.

l presume I'll live, at the worst. And
there's a bit in life besides what we

And now there still Jared on the
swift, sane empire of the West. The
rapid changes, the strivings, the ac-
complishments, the pretensions and
the failures of the new town blended
in the product of human progress.
Each man fell into his place in the
community as though appointed there
to, and the eyes of all were set for
ward To Franklin the days and
months and years went by unpunctu-
ated, his life settling gradually into
the routine of an unhappy calm. He
neglected too much the social side of
life. and rather held to his old friends
than busted himself with the search
for new. Battersleigh was gone,
swiftly and mysteriously gone. though
with the promise to return and with
the reiteration of his advice and his
well wishes. Curly was gone-gone
up the Trail into a far and mysterious
country, though he, too, promised to
remember Ellisville, and had given
hostage for his promise. His friends
of the Halfway House were gone, for
though he heard of them and knew
them to be prosperous, he felt him
self. by reason of Mary Ellen's deci-
sion, in propriety practically with
drawn from their personal acquain-
lance.
Because of his level common sense,
which is the main ingredient in the

Effect Of Rocking Baby.

DIR. Manacoine, the famous Russian
authority on sleep phenomena, says
that rocking is an artificial method Of
inducing slumber The process
fatigues consciousness by a series of
monotonous sensations and incidental
ly deprives the brain of its blood sup
ply. Absence of blood from the brain
makes sleep. The influence of the lul-
laby is Objectionable, but not equally
so. A baby will go to sleep unaided
when it needs sleep.

Electricity and Magnetism.

1t can be said with reasonable GER
tainty that electricity and magnetism
are states of disturbances in the uni

of disturbance can not yet be defined,
partly because the mechanism of the
ether itself must be sufficiently known
in order to differentiate its disturbed
conditions from its normal conditions.
