- 1OL0NEL REVELTON, the Governor OF
one of his Majesty's convict prisons,
sg=---sa sat gazing at the strangest Letter he had
lk&GEE ever received in his life.
"Dear sir" it ran E'You have 'un-
der your charge at the present time the con-
wet Williams who has been condemned to
death, and is to be executed in a couple of
weeks. | hold the opinion that a man should
not be hanged when he might be of use to sci
ence- L wish to perform a surgical experiment. t..
do not think it will lead to the subjects death,
but 1T might. The Williams has to be exc
cuted, and it does not matter much which way
ne dies He, no doubt, would be willing to act
as the subject of my experiment., for I am pre-
pared to pay a good figure. If he should die
under the experiment., I have no doubt that the
prison doctor, a member of the faculty, would
be wiling to certify, for the good of science,
that he died in the night of heart disease if he
should not die, then my experiment. is not such
that will interfere with the due execution of the
murderer. | am willing to pay five hundred
pounds for this slight favor Awaiting your re-
ply, 1 am dear sir,-Yours very truly,
EUGENE MARIENT.'
Colonel Revelton read the letter again and
again, and then dictated reply to his secre-
tary.
dear sir:-I cannot comprehend whether
your letter is that of madman or a practical
joker, but | must remind you that you have
placed yourself in a very grave position by
making such suggestion, and I warn you that
you taking most serious risks upon yourself
in making such a proposal either to me or to
any other of his Majesty's subjects"
The secretary departed to his own room, and
moment after the door opened, and admitted
a man clad in a very loud check suit. He was
one who might have been cassed as racing
tout, at first glance.
"Helo, Georgel" he exclaimed, sinking into
a chair opposite Colonel Revelton.
'I thought you promised never to come near
again when l made the last gift?" the governor
replied, with a deep frown.
$50 did George, and meant it. I did not
know then that L should be so deucedly un-
lucky"
well, if you've come on the cadge again,
you won't get another penny. l told you that
two months ago when gave you two hundred
We're brothers, Frank but 1 won't be bled any
more"
Il must have a hundred"
''You won't have another penny"
'Then / shall shoot myself, and leave let
ter behind that I've been driven to it because
my brother refused me trihng loan"
''You can shoot, hang, or poison yourself just
as you like My bank k-book will show that I've
given you hundreds and you've squandered
them like the idle loa6ng young blackguard you
are!"

as soon as her head was above the boards Of the
loft. It sent her down for minute, buo she
scrambled up again, growing, open-mouthed, fu
r1ous and got one forepaw above the floor. Har
per gripped his batchet farther back, and let
her have it with all his strength The blow
stunned her for second, but Harper felt he had
lost by It. His hatchet had broken off short,
the head falling with dull clink upon the cab

less indeed, he could kick of gable plank and
leap down through the opening He was about
to undertake it, when he heard the bear rush
toward the closed door, growing more angriy
than ever. Looking down he saw the door give
to some powerful impulse and as it opened half
way, let Joe Maveety through Maveety, with
out gun--he had set down his rife to put his
shoulder to his own strangely fastened door.
Light-blinded he did not see the dire need of
IT, until the bear was upon him. and had risen
to give him death hug.
As the big cruel arms closed about Maveety,
Harper leaped down, and made to snatch up
the big iron fre-shovel, Maveety's voice stop.
ped him: "Knife! My knifel" it cried huski'
ly; "In my belt! Hurryl Hurry! Hurry-for-the
Lords sakel"
Harper darted around the pair, drew the knife
long, keen and cruelty sharp, and struck out
with it, half blindy, but with true and steady
hand. 1t took the bear underneath the left
forepaw and went straight to her heart-with
last convusive clutch she fell forward,
rying Maveety with her, the blood pouring
from her mouth half strangling him. Harper
pulled him out and set him on his feet, saying
never a word. Silently both watched the dying
creature until she lay limp and still 1t was not
long, a minute at most, then Maveety turned
upon Harper caught his hands, and shook them
hard saying: "You tenderfoot! So this is why
missed my lady-bear! She came calling on
you--and you trapped her. How in the world
came you to think of doing it? And why in the
world-when you hadn't the ghost of show
without a gun?
T didn't! She trapped me-" Harper said:
"Joe-how would it have ended-if we hadn't
come to each others help?"
10! There would have been one dead man, =
maybe two, to tell the tale" Maveety sad,
looking at the bear 'Im mighty glad it's the
other way though. This old she-critter fairly
owes me her pelt Killed all my dogs, or Grip
pied them so l had to leave 'em behind But
we're quits now-or will be when 1 go out and
fetch home her cubs"
at would be cruel to leave them to starve."
Harper said thoughtfully: "But after this Joe,
1 shan't care much for hunting things I
can't forget how it feels to he hunted"
you'll get over that" Maveety said--but Ma.
veety did not know everything. Harper roughed
it to his hearts content, but he never again
went hunting bear.

petite. Then he tidied things, went out for a
pipe and a look about, and came back in haste
to look after the seed fire. There were matches

have warm hearth. and embers when It came
to getting breakfast Beyond that, the Goals,
red and glowing hardwood Goals, really invited

such things. Heaping them deftly he covered
them deep with the plenteous ashes, then glanced
up smiling to where a venisonham and side

the door, flung himself upon his bunk and went
fast asleep forgetting the Injunction to pull the
ladder after him.
His last consciousness was Of joy in the low

holes at each end-otherwise the loft was win

proposal was agreed to-"
He walked to the safe in the room and took
out roll of notes, which he handed to the sub
ject of his experiment..
Frank Revelton examined them and put them
into his pocket

Frank Revelton broke into an expansive grin
as the doctor left the apartment and lighted his
cigar.
The doctor ran upstairs to his bedroom, and,
shutting the door behind him, went to the tele-

Women Sailors

Women sailors employed in Denmark, Nor

employed as State officials at sea, and particular

incoming ships, climb nimbly out of their boats,
