The wonderful instinct and intelli.
gence of dogs was illustrated a few
days since where one recognized his
owners voice over the telephone at a
distance of some fourteen miles. The
dogs master, who was going out of
the state, sent the animal to a SUI
burban city, where he was to be cared
for. A few days after the keeper of
the animal was called up and the
dog placed on a chair and the tele-
phone receiver placed at his ear. His
master spoke to the dog, who recog-
nized his voice and demonstrated it
by vociferously barking. 1t was with
much difficulty that the animal could
be induced to go away from the tele-
phone long after his master had rung
off, the proprietor of the kennels at
terward informed him.

Dolly was busting Cupid in the win
dow, and to Carstairs anything Dolly
did was of interest, especially now
that Major Ruthven had declared that
there should be no communication be-
tween these two young people.
Such an edict is difficult of enforce
ment when the young people lived just
opposite each other, but the major
found most efficient ally in his Sis
ter Lydia.
She had been disappointed in her
first and only love affair. and was out
of patience with lovers generally and
with Frank Carstairs in particular, for
the elder Carstairs' lack of apprecla-
ton of Lydias charms had sent him
elsewhere to look for life-mate and
so had confirmed Lydia's spinster-
hood.
The majors objection to Franks
suit took more practical ground.
Frank, as campaign manager for his
best friend and partner, had defeated
the majors candidate for the state
legislature and incidentally had won
control of the party in his district, an
advantage not to be despised by
rising young lawyer, even though he
be possessed of Independent fortune
and the love of Dolly Ruthven.
Just now Frank watched Dolly
gloomily. He had tried in every way
to get word to her since on the night
of the primaries the major had
slammed the door in his face.
He was certain she did not share
her fathers wrath, but to gain her
side, with Miss Lydia as dragon, was
matter beyond his .shrewdness.
He watched her idly as she fluttered
the dainty buster about the plaster
cast, and wondered if he might have
been mistaken in his belief that sh,
still loved him, for she had been at
great pains apparently to call atten'
ton to the cast, and Cupid's back was
turned to him.
Suddenly he found that the signif-
canoe lay in the busting rather than
the white figure. First the buster
fitted down one shoulder of the Cupid,

other dab down the first side, followed
by two more and then one. If he had
been out with the militia signal corps
this would have been his call, "F. c."
Just for fun, he would water the
plants in the window-and reply.
With the tiny watering can he
sprinkled one side of geranium, and
then twice swung the sprinkler on the
other side; that was 3D." The ~
was three more dots on the same side
and one on the other. Like a flash
came fresh f1ourishes of the buster.
and he had Dolly's 20. K"
Twenty minutes later Frank went
downtown with head erect, and when
he met Major Ruthven he added fur
Their to his offences by passing that
doughty veteran with a broad grin.
The majors frown was smoothed
away only when Miss Lydia assured
him that Dolly had been in her own
room all the morning.
That evening Franks big red auto
mobile stood painting in front of the
house across the way, while Dolly,
carefully chaperoned by her father
and aunt, took the air on the brown
stone steps.
The darkness had already fallen,

Too Truthful Younuster.

In city public school, Miss H,
who is somewhat beyond her teens,
was exercising a class of small boys
in spelling and defining. The word
"bedlamite" was correctly spelled, but
one after another failed to give it's
meaning. Miss fl, becoming i'm
patient and wishing to help them by
a suggestion, asked in a vexed tone:
what am l now?"
A youngster instantly replied:
please, ma'am, an old maid!"
Perhaps it is needless to add that
Miss H gave still more dramatic
illustration of the required definition.

A small boy from the East Side
wandered over into Fifth avenue.
With a large crowd of sightseers
he lowered on the edge of red vel
vet strip which stretched beneath a
canopy across the pavement to the
door of great mansion.
He exclaimed in awe:
'Hully Gee! | wisht | was in

A kindly person overheard and
asked:

He replied:

hay had been previously shaken out
by the hostess in the center of the

oyster fork. A lady and a gentleman
were made partners and told to load
the hay on the cart. This was done
by means of the oyster forks. The
hostess, watch in hand, timed the con-

This bout decided the prizes, which

WHAT IS THE MILKY WAY?
Australian Amateurs Solution of ar.
Astronomical Puzzle.

A novel theory as 70 tie milky way has
been evoyed by ). J.. Adams. an anna.
teur astronomer of Sydney, y. :. w.
This luminous phenomenon, it appears, l.
really a shadow.
The milky way says Mr.. Adams, Is
constantly being seen at many different
angles and in many parts of the sky. but
it always preserves the same luminous
front arising from the telescope stars il
its background.
"Now, as this background is constant
" changing. and the luminous effect Is
only seen wherever the foreground hap.
pens to be the milky way, it is evident
that it is not the telescope stars them
selves which produce the effect, bu-
something projected on The foreground OF
the sky. That something is the earth -
shadow.
The supposed nebulae,' continues Mr..
Adams, ARE all shadows, and this eX
plains their contempt for the laws of
gravitation and their refusal to conform
to the globulnr shape assumed by ccleS-
tia bodies generally. They are spots OF
shadow representing mountains or noun
tain ranges on the earth"
