PREACHER IN FOX CHASE.
Appearance Understoed
by the Hounds.

Some years ago Rev. William Luns-
ford was the pastor Of Baptist church
at Bowling Green, KY. and he was
popular vita the community, for. be-
sides being an earnest and eloquent
preacher he was fond Of an occasional
chase OF the willy red fox, and with
the fine pack of dogs owned by the
kennel club he was enabled to crafty
his tastes whenever he desired, says
the Chicago Chronicle. The good doc
tor In his church services frequently
led the singing Of some old familiar
hymn full OF melody and inspiration
and he had the habit when announcing
q hymn Of raising his right hand high
above his head In persuasive invitation
singing. and with his hand high up
would exclaim when he was ready TO
start the hymn. Everybody" and
with the exclamation everybody who
could master a note of concord or dis
cord would join In with q whole-souied
willingness that made the walls OF
the old church rssound with melody

pack was going at full cry In bend
of the river SIX miles around. The
dogs soon passed out Of hearing, the
Judge drifting on TO place where he
was sure the fox had doubled on Its
track and the pack scattered. Very

The Judge rode around q sharp de-

A good cook, q good wife and a good
job will make a. good home anywhere,
but you add your mother-in-law and
the first thing you know you've got
two homes. and one of them is being
run on alimony.
You want to remember that beside
your mother-in-law you're Il compare
tive stranger to your wife. After you
and Helen have lived together for a
year you ought to be so well acquaint-
ed that she'll begin to believe that you
know almost as much as mamma. But
during the first few months of married
life there are apt to be a good many tie
votes on important matters, and if
mother-in-law is on the premises she
is generally going to break the tie by
casting the deciding vote with daugh-
ter. A man can often get the best of
sne woman or ten men, but not Of two
women when one of the two Is moth

sorry yer weren't along, George. She
blushed clear to her hair when she seed
me. What! Now don't be takin' no
offense whar none's meant. George
Well, hev it yer own way"
George Cottle, with an angry retort,
had called to his dog, started the hogs
and was striding off on the trail, leav-
ing Nelson staring after him.
He was angry with his neighbor for
what he had said, and repeated to him
self again and again that he would pay
no attention to such idle talk.
But where was she going with o.
born?" he asked himself. Again and
again he urged on the tired hogs, but
never had herd seemed to move so
slowly. Cottle, despite his efforts to
put aside the suspicious aroused by his
neighbours gossip, was uneasy as he
neared the clearing on which stood the
cabin.
What a fool to worry this way
when | know Annals waiting for me
with supper in the cabin" he said, as
he came out of the redwoods at the
clearing.
The last words choked him and a
chilling fear, a presentiment of evil,
seemed to grip him at the heart
Instead of a smoking chimney and
cheerful light cleaning from the win
dow, as usual, the cabin was dark and
without a sign of life.
Forgetting the hogs he ran across
the clearing. He struck match at the
cabin door and his heart chilled with
dread.
The door was latched on the outside.
He paused for half a minute, afraid
to lift the latch; then tore it open and
went in. The cabin was empty.
He lighted a lamp and looked round.
The table was set for supper, but there
was only one plate, one cup, one knife
and fork
"My God, what has happened?" he
cried in agony, picking up from the
plate piece of torn newspaper on the
margin of which were scrubbed a few
words. He stepped closer to the light
and read:
Dear George have gone with Mr..
Osborn. l just couldn't stand it any
longer. ] was so lonely, and you don't
love me any more, so you won't care.
Forgive me if you can. ANNA.
"P. S.-Your supper is in the oven"
"I'll follow them, though it be 10000
miles, and kill them both" he cried,
starting for the door. Before he
crossed the threshold he turned back,
dropped into chair and with the pitt.
full little note spread between his
trembling fingers read his wife's mes.
sage again and again.
His anger softened as he read. He
