HOW THE MINK N
Unseen Tragedies Read from Tracks
In the Snow.

Unseen Tragedies Read from Tracks
In the Snow.
II you will follow a mink's track In
the snow any winter day it will usu-
ally lead you before long to the mute
story of a tragedy, just some tram
pied snow and a red stain. The whole
method Of the mink's hunting is told
by the snow. we see how it follows
a rabbit, taking every precaution not
to betray its presence while the
wretched creature feeds, for then 1t
is alert; how it follows bunny to
where it sleeps beneath a log, an up
turned root or the snow-covered top
of a fallen tree, and then stealthily
creeps on the unsuspecting prey. How
sometime the rustling OF a dead leaf
warns the rabbit, who leaps forward
perhaps just in time to avoid the
furious onslaught Of the mink, though
more often too late and the red stain
tells US that the rabbit has been eaten
where 1t expected to sleep.

A FRENCH DEPuTY's PAY.

His $1,000 a Year and Unlimited Priv.
eleges Not Sufficient.
A French deputy receives a salary
Of 5000 francs $1,000; he also re-
ceives free railway transportation
and free luncheons at the bar of the
Palais Bourbon. where many q law
maker spends more time than he does
In the Sale des Senaces. Some are
accused of taking all their meals at
the free lunch counter. A deputy even
gets, at reduced rates, a special brand
of cigar which is called "cigare de
Deputies" with these cigars he treats
his influential constituents. In spite
of all these privileges, there have been
many complaints that, unless he has
a larger personal income, a deputy
cannot live d~ecently; therefore many
members of parliament, when they
are not well-to-do, have to make up for
the insuficiency of their pay by CON
tributing to newspapers or pleading In
the courts.

come back. I went into the lodge and
scared them all out of their wits. They
became convinced after awhile that

them to secrecy as to my return. They
concealed me. Yesterday she came
back. / restrained my impatience un-

handle of a dagger. A quick thought
came to me. At any cost-at any cost

A low knock startled them.
"Come!" Cynthia called.
The door opened to admit old Guile
letta.
She ran across the DON and fell on
her knees before Give. She caught
his hands in her withered fingers and
kissed them.
"You have come back-you have
come back, my lear boy-my dear
Master Give! But it isn't true-say
it isn't true-that they are going to
take you-you, the master of Black
castle-to Jail. Oh, my lad. say 1t

ing to Laurie. 'The name OF Black

that a crimson crime can only be
cleansed Jy a mighty love. You love

Dearly. She is my promised wife,

AYE. aye, is it so? Let me look

She took the girls velvety face In
her hard, brown hands, and turned II
SO the lamplight fell on it fully. She
searched it with her piercing eyes.
"A fair face-a fair face! She'll be

Give, sitting by the head of the
lounge. n arm flung lovingly around
his mother, bent over her with a laugh
at the positive assertion.
"How's that for loyalty, mother?
did you-why, MOTHERHOOD heav-
ens!"
Her eyes were closed and she was
breathing with difficulty. She looked
up languidly at the sound Of his voice.
There was a faint smile on her lips.
She put out her hand gropingly. He
caught it in his strong hold.
Mother" he cried again, in alarm.
Her breath came more pantingly.
The smile on her lips ~deepened. Her
eyes, fixed on her son in tender ado
ration, for just one moment flashed
with the glorious luster of their youth.

Old Guieletta rushed to the lounge
and flung herself beside the quiet form
of her mistress with a walling cry:
ooh, my lady-my LADY,"
"Hark!" Cynthia Lennox cried, sud-
denly, and sprang erect.
