A REMARKABLE OPERATION.

Farmer Grated Live Rabbit to In
Jured Horses shoulder.
Elmer Purdy, local farmer, who
ia also something Of horse and COW
doctor, has just succeeded in perfect
ing a cure which is attracting consid-
cradle attention hereabouts, says the
New York World. The method used
is not new, but so far'as known 1t has
never been applied to horse.
Several weeks ago valuable roam
colt belonging to Purdy ran into q
barbed-wire fence and lacerated its
of shoulder. The wound did not seem
to be serious and the usual methods
for healing were applied. For time
the wound got along well enough, but
later developed into running sore and
the colt went lame Some of the Shout
der muscles were affected and 1t look,
ed as though the animal would have
to be killed.
Purdy tried all the remedies he
knew of, but they did not good, and
finally he determined to graft a live
hare onto the leg over the wound. He
therefore set a box trap in the woods,
baited 1t with popple bark and a car
rot and caught lively jack rabbit.
Purdy then undertook to etherize the
bunny, for fear that the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
which is particularly active in Rutland
County, would step in and make things
disagreeable for him. Not being an
expert in administering ether he killed
the hare.
Later on he caught second rabbit
and was more successful. etherizing it
properly. When this had been done a
slit was made in the skin along the
side and the fur pulled back far
enough to cover the sore on the colts
shoulder. The wound was then bathed
with a solution of corrosive sublimate
to sterilize it and the rabbit bound In
such way as to completely cover the
same. The skin was then stitched to
the horses hide and the colt was
swung off his feet that he might not
lie down and crush the hare.
When bunny came to his senses he
seemed astonished, but made no eff
fort to get away. The colt looked
around at him in equal surprise, but
the warm body added to his comfort
and he offered no objection. The hare
was fed regularly and for the most
part remained quiet. 1t was necessary
to bind down his hind legs, as he was
given to kicking, but, on the whole,
he took matters philosophically.

of that sweet girl going to such a
place, never;
"I'Il take Bessie, too," she said, and
Mr.. Randall gladly agreed.
II can have a bedroom and a tiny
kitchen added to my house instead of
parlor," thought Miss Martin, land
can take the old kitchen for a living
room. I don't really need a parlor,
anyway"
And now what about little Ray {?
There he sat, seemingly unconscious
of all that was going on around him,
printing some words on a piece of
cardboard. Ray was only seven years
old. He would need care for a long
time, perhaps all his life. for he was
not strong In body. He was fond Of
books and flowers and shy and reti-
cent He held up the cardboard at
length and looked at the words he had
printed. They were: Trust in the
Lord"
Nobody wanted Ray. He could not
be Of much use anywhere, and 1t was
decided that he must 80 to the county
farm.
"I'l take him home with me to-
night" said Mr.. Randall, land send
him away tomorrow morning"
Sitting around Miss Martins table
at supper that night very little was
said. Fred had filed the wood box.
brought water, and made himself use
full in various ways; but now he was
thinking Of his little brother. Bessie
could hardly keep back the tears.
Miss Martin could not help noticing
the children's faces. and altogether 1t
was not cheerful company.
AS they arose from the table there
was a knock at the door, and Miss
Martin opened it to confront Mr.. Ran
dali.
els Ray here" he asked.
"Why. no."
"Well, he's a queer boy; I don't
know where he is, and now l can't find
him."
lis the Dilling house locked?"
mo, there is no use locking it; it's
empty"
you stay here, children" said Miss
Martin kindly; "I'll be back In a few
moments"
Then she slipped over to the little old
house, and, as quietly as she could,
peered into every room. There, in
the half twilight, she found Ray at
last half-lying, half-kneeling on the
bare floor, in the little room where he
used to sleep. In his arms was the
cardboard on which he had printed:
Trust in the Lord"
The boy was talking, and she lis
tened.
TT don't seem Ike home Bless dear
Miss Martin. She's coed"

gether when she saw this man. Prob
ably he would want Fred, who was
eleven years cid. 1t would be shame
to see SO good boy 60 to such a
place.
She threw a shawl over her head
and stepped to the door. Then she
went back and sat down by the win
dow.
II could have bed for him up
stairs" she thought "And he could
split wood and bring water for me. l
believe I'll 60 over anyway"
Farmer Burnham was talking very
loudly to Fred when she went into the
dark, gloomy kitchen. The boys face
was white and his eyes filed with
tears as he looked at Bessie, his Sis
ter.
You can't have him." said the little
girl. choking back her sobs. Hes all
we've got left. and we're going to keep
himw
"Ho, hot" laughed MIR. Burnham.
''we'n see about that. The sooner we
have the papers made out the better,
reckon" And he made his way toward
Mr.. Randall.
Erred, would you rather come with
meT
1t was Miss Martins voice, and Fred
grasped her hand eagerly, while his
sister cried: "Oh, do 60 with ner.
Fred!'
I'D rather do it. Miss Martin, If
you could get along with me-" said the
boy, earnestly. I'D try hard to help
what could"
Miss Martins face lighted up as she
listened. This was a new experience
to her. Her life had been wholly cen
tered upon her own interests. She
could not help thinking of it even In
the midst of this excitement. A new
feeling swept over her. How selfish
she had been! Would God forgive
her?
While these thoughts were passing
through her mind she was making her
way toward Mr.. Randall. Would she
be too late. No; Mr.. Burnham had
been called in another direction. She
pulled the poormaster's sleeve and
whispered hurriedly:
"I'll take Fred"
"All right" he replied, and the deed
was done.
The proprietor Of the village hotel
was talking to Bessie.
Don't you want to go and live with
me at the hotel"
mo, don't. l want my own home,
and that is ALL"
"But, child, you can't stay here; the
house is all empty, and you've got to

Miss Martins eyes flashed. The idea

THE LITTLE ANIMALS.

The bay mare stands at my kitchen
door,
And saucily shakes her head
For bite of apple, pinch of salt
Or sugared crust of bread.
But, oh, for the little wooden horse
l found in a corner to-day,
And the little groom that straddled him
And rode him out to play!
Old Rover maps on the shaded porch,
While his great, brown, kindly eyes
Follow me to the golden gate
And back to my bread and pies.
But, oh, for the cotton dog on wheels
That romped on the velvet floor,
And the little master that shall come
And play with him no more!
The Spanish cock with the crimson comb,
When he hears my feeding call,
He answered with a flap Of wings
And a crow from the garden wall.
But, oh, for the plaster cock that crowed
When my baby pressed the spring
MY tiny poultryman that hauled
Hin round upon a string!
Islove the ecalves In thespasture 4lot
And the cattle In the barn,
The geese that squat by the water
trough
And gable through the tarn.
But, oh, when the evening shadows fall,
And the ache of the lonely dark,
turn to the painted animals,
In a little wooden ark!
And, one by one, l take them up.
And cuddle them to my breast,
For the love Of the careless little Noah
That set them here to rest
Here by the sunny window-seat,
In corner of his room,
Where curious roses climb and peep
And wonder into bloom.
have mothered many an orphan lamb
For the faint and fallen eve,
And many downy duckling housed
From the weasel and the dew;
But now, that every mothers babe
On the farm is safe at rest,
I turn to the little wooden sheep
And fold them to my breast!

her father would touch on the subject
Of their identity during Jacks visit; but
Mr.. Maliett did not wish to be made the
topic Of gossip among Miss Malling's
guests. and therefore kept his own coun-
sci.
When Jack was about to leave, Mr..
Mallett decided to walk part of the way
with him, and accordingly went down
stairs Hrst. Jack turned, with the door
handle in his hand, to thank Ethel for
what she had done-yet hardly to thank
her, either.
II can't 60 without thanking you for
being so candid with me, Ethel" he
said. "Of course l was very surprised
when l received your letter breaking of
the engagement; but equally Of course
there was nothing for me to do but &C.
quiesce in your wish"
Ethel felt how ungenerous this remark
was, seeing that his neglect had led to
what had happened; but she would not
be driven into reproaching him, and so
give him cause to justify himself. Her
feelings were too real to bear dissec-
ton, and she avoided the discussion.
THAT is all passed." she said,- grave
ly; better let 1t rest"
Though she did not say one word In
self-defense, there was a world of re-
proach in the subdued tones Of her ad-
vice; though her speech was SO indif-
ferent, her whole manner asserted her
right to be considered more than blame
less throughout the affair.
Jack felt miserably small under her
calm gaze, and his respect for her was
vastly increased by this little passage at
arms; and, az he was carried by the af-
ternoon express back to Mallingford
Park, he could not shake from his mind
the fable of the dog and the shadow.
