When seen yesterday by represent

ton, said:
Recently, Mrs. William McGowao
secretary Of the Humane society Of
this city, and myself, made trip to
Des Moines with the express purpose
Of learning something of the organiza-
ton of that city, which is the leading
one in the state.
while there we were shown the
methods and workings of the society
by Mrs. Elizabeth Jones, secretary of
the Des Moines organization. The
thing that appealed to us most was the
fact that all people driving horses and
teams attached to heavy loads which
had to be taken up hills, were required
to use two teams or double up on
the hills.
"Since arriving home we have been
and are endeavoring to secure such
an arrangement from the owners and
teamsters here in this city, and we
also ask that people ordering coal or
heavy hauling request the teamsters
to double up on hills and tighten the
burden of the horses.
Want an Officer.
so far our work has been most en-
couraging and as we are making ear
nest efforts to build up the organiza-
ton, we feel that it will be a success
We have had cards printed with rules
and instructions of the society which
will be placed around in parts of the
city and can be read by all who have
the care Of horses and animals. When
cold weather arrives we will ask the
city council to appoint special officer
during the winter months"

was brought out and arraigned.

listening, to the charge. "Who dares call me
"What is theft?" said the magistrate, with
a keen look at him.
And Phil was astonished at finding him
self less ready. with an answer than he had
ever imagined he could be.
There was still some delay, owing to the
absence of an important witness, whose fussy
approach was at length heard, and Phil be-
held a rather pleasant-faced colored parsonage
he had seen in the morning.

It had been impossible to stem the old
woman's tide of excited talk until, urged for
ward into the room, she was solemnly con-
fronted with the stolen relic, and an exhor-
tation that she should testify to its having
been that morning in the house under her
care, whence it had, as every circumstance
went to show, been feloniously removed by
the prisoner. Then she stared as if puzzled.
"Whars de article he's stole, squire"
Judge Dilloway heldit out to her.

sacred memories of the place by your most un-
gentlemanly attempt to carry away something

PhiIs face assumed an expression of deep
contrition and humility.
They were now approaching a gate near
which the judges horse was tied
"Allow me-" he said untying it and hold
ing the stirrup for its owner to mount.
II do not propose to leave here until I see
you on your way to make restitution
Phil again bowed, and with an air of re-
pentant submission turned toward the house,
which he entered and remained for a few
moments. then went out by another entrance
and rapidly walked across the fields toward
the station, laughing to think how clevefly

He waited a weary time for the train, tired,
long before it came, of every feature. of the
rundown little town, with its dreary-looking.
ill-kept buildings.
AT last the welcome whistle was heard, the
locomotive appeared from behind a curve and
Phil was about to spring on board, when he
felt grasp on his shoulder.

But the man kept tight grip on his shou-
der and Phils heart sank with foreboding
of trouble, as he saw Judge Dilloway ap-
him, bearing an aspect of outraged
dignity which was simply overpowering.
The boy heard a warning puff from the To-
comotive and, with flush, drew the much
priced relic from his pocket.
"Here, sir! beg your. pardon for not re-
turning this. Now ,good-day, sir!"
He made movement toward the train; but

matter, raising his voice above the laughter

Through his burning modification broke
one Wretehed ray of comfort to Phil, and
tnat was In seeing the discontinue of the per

only on getting out of the town as quickly as
