a fox and goose get within reach OF
each other, or there will be trouble.
This rule, you will find, prevents your
moving the fox from II on the first
move, as on either A or.6 he. would be
within reach of goose. 1t also pre-
vents your moving fox from 10 to 8;
or from II to Z. If you play'10 to 5,
then your next. move may be 2 to 8
with a goose, which you could not
have played if the fox had not pre-
viously gone from TO- It is perhaps
unnecessary to say that only one fox,
or one goose, can be on disk at the
same time. Now, what is the smallest
number of moves necessary to make
the foxes and geese change places?

Change Appearance of Birds, Regard.
less of Pain Inflicted.
The bird fancier took young pig
cons beak between his finger and
thumb. :.
"If l were a pigeon faker," he said.
''Pd make this beak curve downward
more. Every day I'd bend it this way
while it's young and soft, and when
the bird grew it would have beak
of the correct shape. Before then,
though, it would have passed through
lot of pain.
Pigeon takers are pretty numerous.
They have tricks that will add $25 and
$50 to fine birds value.
"a trick is trimming. They cut
out feathers of the wrong color and
with their scissors they manipulate
certain markings till they get them
into the pattern that is considered
! best.
They dye the birds feathers, too.
This. work needs skill and good
recipe. Judges; being foxy, often
touch finely colored bird with acid
to see if the color is faxed or not. So
the dye, of course, must be acid proof.
Some men take young almond tum-
blers and incase their heads for cou-
pie of hours each day in a wooden
mold. This causes their heads to
grow into the blunt, round shape that
prize-winning almond tumblers' heads
must have.
pigeon taking, carried to excess, is
cruel. The humane societies ought to
put stop to it. How can they, though,
Ell? 1t isn't done in public, is it?"

At this moment there was an inter
ruption. A maid presented herself
with letter which had just come by
hand, and gave it to her young mas
ter, stating at the same time, that the
bearer was waiting for an answer.
A letter! and come by hand! He
started again as though he had been
shot, and the doctor noticed that his
hand went up to the breast pocket
of his coat, as though there were
something there he The doctor shook
his head as he made this observation.
Ted Burritt took the letter held out
to him, glanced at the superscription
and tore 1t open. 1t apparently con-
sisted of only few lines, but those
few lines seemed to afford him con-
siderable satisfaction, judging by the
play of his features Indeed, to the
two who were watching him, 1t seem
ed as though the expression which
overspread his face were almost one
of triumph.
Doctor" he said, will you excuse
me a moment? l have to send an
answer to this by the bearer"
He spoke rapidly, and still that
spirit of elation was perceptible in his
words and actions. He seemed quite
to have cast off that air of abstraction
which had characterized his demean-
or previously. He quilted the room

one at time, fox and goose alternate

to the next one, try to get the foxes

"Tve been dreaming" he said to
himself. Il thought everything had
been made quite clear to me about"
Was he dreaming still, or was there
some one in the room beside himself?
Some one sitting before the writing
table and bending forward as though

hand, but 1t made no sound as it
travelled over the paper! The next
moment it had raised its head so that
he saw the face. 1T is the continual

bed his eyes. He looked again. There
was nothing there.
"How does that chair come to be
there, in its old place? l thought |
had pushed 1t back against the wall,
and | have no recollection of moving
it again. 1t is very strange"
He rested his hand upon the back
of the chair Oh, it was real enough.
There was no mistake about it. But
he could have sworn he had never
moved-Ah, what in heavens name
was that? A simple enough thing,
surely, to cause SO much amazement
and-what ?-surely not fear--in the
beholder. Only pen lying upon the
blotting pad, beside sheet of paper.
But the pen was wet, and there were
fresh words added to those he had
himself written before he fell asleep.
The sheet of paper was the one
upon which he had written those
vague and disconnected phrases,
which had caused him SO much per-
plexity and improbable speculation.
They had been written irregularly,
just In the same order that they had
occupied on the mutilated sheet, with
blank spaces between each broken
sentence. Now each blank space had
been filled in, and 1t was with per-
fectly indescribable sensations that he
read the copy as it now stood:

friend of twenty years ago, you will,
on receiving this letter, start at once

The young man read this through.
Who had written it? Whose hand
had completed the broken sentences,
and given them the meaning which
they had heretofore lacked? Coula he
have done it himself, while in state
of somnambulism? No; for the hand
writing was not his AT glance, he
could distinguish the words which
he had written himself. The
words over which he had lahnred
and perplexed his soul. The WORDS
which had seemed to cast slur upon
the memory of his dead father-which
was now removed.
He turned the sheet over. There,
on the other side, were those words,
the last probably his father ever
wrote. "My dear" together with
date, april 28rd."
He looked again at those mysteri-
GUS sentences, upon which the ink
still glistened They were written in
the same hand!
