to find that Pete had taken his depart ure in the night. He thought it odd that his pet should desert warmth and a good breakfast in such cold weather, and figured that he would soon return. But at supper time he had not showed up, and Bill looked for tracks. The snow was crusted and he couldn't find any, so he waited.
 He would probably still be waiting had not Joe Walsh, who lives three miles back in the woods. come across strange tracks in fresh fall of snow early in the week The footprints looked likej those of a pig. but they progressed in most cratic lines. Out of curiosity he followed them and eventually came to an old abandoned barn about mile and half from Bills shack. The roof of the barn had tumbled in, but beaten path made by the animal he was following led under meath the ruins to an old cellar. Walsh had frequently been by the barn, but lad never noticed the cellar. He stuck his head down the hole and looked. As soon as his eyes accustomed themselves to the semidarkness he made out the well-known form of Pete lying in some straw in one corner. Herhad lost con- siderable flesh since the farmer saw him two months ago at Bills, and looked decidedly rakish.

every we'll. Here it is in nutshell. AS you perchance know, Lord Stor- mont in Paris has been at much pains to keep informed of the feeling in the French court. He has lately reported a growing danger. That rascally son of a tinker, Beaumarchais, whose schemes so tickled the fancy of the old king, has been buZzing about Louis XVI. to some purpose. De .Vergennes, his, dog of Il councillor, was always itching to com fort the colonies. Well, the matter has come to head, and Frances aid is ill a fair way to be pledged in the near future to the colonies. Egad, Jarrat, an the rebels congress knew all that is in the wind at Versailles they would split themselves with joyv'
 "I warrant" said the listener, non- committai.
 "Louis," pursued Foy, "is pretty well assured of affairs in the north, thanks to that renegade Franklin, but as to the Virginias he is not so certain. So he Is sending over one of his noble popinjays to sec for him and report Twas runored :n Paris that the envoy was to be the Marquis de Ia Trouerie."
 "I have heard of the gentlemen" said Jarrat. with careful delibera ton. "An- other young poppet of Marie Antoi- nctte's, and n worse republican than Beaumarchais. And you tbink he will report that Virginia is ripe for insur- rectionY'
 "Thiok! Why, the whole colony is a sesthe of it. TO he sure he will. Trust tho +p hM IySn~ fhn way lie would be smoothed"

 "A fortnight since word came hither by the Royal George that he was soon to take ship"
 Jarrat smiled beneath his hand. Knowing himself so close to the gov ernor's confidence he could afford to be amused. Moreover, he had had more than one meeting while abroad with Lord Storcaont in regard to this same matter. Foy's hangman's humor, how ever, made him a favorite with Lord Dunmore. and it was still worth Jar rst's while to cultivate him.
 Il am fiattered that you confde i'll ma," he said. But what will you do with him when he comes? You cannot sesze his person"
 'SWhy not?" cried Fes pettishly. There's more to his coming than that, Jarrat. He will report aye to this venture of the king. Well, Louis needs no further messenger. He will straightway make the marquis his en- voy. And think you the visitor need be let deliver that massage? By the fend, nol Seize his person, eh? We shall see, Jarrar! The earl knows his muttons. Meanwhile this marquis must be watched for. We must know where to put finger on him. The lower ports are well under espionage. But some of us must watch here at Yorktown. Iris what | want you to

Close beside him were three vats. Pete looked up, recognized the friend of hie master and gave welcoming, but hic- coughy grunt. Walsh descended and kicked the hog by way of greeting. This brought more hiccoughs and an unsuccessful effort on the part of Pete to stand up.
 Drunk again" .snorted Walsh, look. ing about for the spirits
 He found them in the vats, which contained whisky diluted with rain water that had leaked from overhead. It certainly was whisky, and Walsh instantly came to the conclusion that he had stumbled on an Illicit still operated in that section several years ago by two men who are now serving time at Dan. nemora. Pete was in no condition to drive home. so Walsh notified Bill, ana he went after the hog with his mare and wood sled. Then the proper au- thorities were informed. They are talk. ing investigation, but as the men sup- posed to own the still are in jail they don't know just what to do. Pete is chained up.

HOG GOES ON SPREE.
When Fermented Apple Mash Gave
 Out Beast Looked for More.
That Is How the Bibu1ous POrker Led Way to Moonshine StiIl-Mnster Swore On, But Pete Is Re-
 yOnd Redemption

From McKeever, N. Y., a correspond ent writes to the New York World that "Bib'lous Bill's'' bibulous hog, Pete, which disappeared two weeks ago, has been found under circumstances that may result in an investigation. The au
 thorities at the Corners are talking about it, but they don't know where to begin.
 Bill got his nickname Fabulous" some years ago, when he and the cup that cheers were inseparable compan- ions. He rather glories in it now that he has sworn off For more than a twelvemonth he has touched nothing stronger than water. In the good old days, when he was in "tippling trim" Bill declares, that he could outbibble anything in the country" It was two years ago last fall that Bill annexed Pete. The porker was mite of pig then, and became very companionable. He learned to fol! ow Bill about like a dog, and even went squirrel hunting with him. and rooted for acorns while his master was laying for grays."
 A year ago last fall Bill got job in a cider mill down at the Corners. and re- ported for work along with Pete. The former figured that the latter would wax fat on apple mashings. He did. In time some of the mashings fermented and Pete got drunk. Bill lectured him, but it did no good, and at the end of the week Pete was confirmed sot. One night while the pair were stumbling home much the worse for wear Bill saw ghost. and the next morning swore off
 Pete hadn't seen anything uncanny. so he kept up his spree until the mill closed down for the season. By this time he was a fit subject for whisky cure. His nerves gave out, and he searched the woods, farm buildings and ever cellars for more stimulants Bill thought of his own experiences and chuckled. He knew Pete would come out all right in the end and was de- lighted to have his pal sober once more.
 Things went along nicely until fort night ago, when Bill awoke one morning
