All Horses Hate Camels.

Smoking a clay pipe, the circus actor
sat In the winter training quarters.
Under his supervision a thin boy was
learning to ride erect on a quiet horse
with 4 broad, nat back.
I'm some towns they won't let US
show" said the man, unless we have
no camels with us. Camels are a seri-
GUS drawback to shows Horses are SO
much afraid of them that lots of towns
won't let camel enter their gates.
"A horse won't 60 near a piece OF
ground a camel has stood on. The very
smell Of camel in the air will make
a horse tremble and sweat. And this
fear isn't only found occasionally In q
horse here and there. 1t Is found In
every horse all over the world. Queer
isn't 1t? 1 often wonder why it Is
Cattle hate dogs In the same way, and
cats hate dogs 80, too. Here, though
we can account for the hatred. Dogs Is
primitive times fed on cattle, no doubt
and even to-day, here and there, they
kill and feed on kittens.
Horses love dogs. Pm sure I dom
know why. Dogs fear no animals bu1
pumas and leopards. You can take {
dog up to a lions or tigers cage ant
he will show no fear. but take him W
to the cage Of puma or leopard and
he will tremble and moan and slini
away out of sight.

OF RUSSIAN POLICE.

Cxar's Law Ofleers Declared tc lie
Extremely Stupid.
The Cars whole bureaucracy has for
years been SO thoroughly detested by
all classes OF Russians that now 1t Is
mainly filled by the least intelligent Of
the population. And OF these the police
are the worst, says Ernest Poole in the
World To-Day. l myself was arrested
several times, as SO many correspond
ents are, and l found the police In ev-
cry Instance the most dense Of mortals.
From NY newspaper friends l heard
scores OF stories about this stupidity.
These two are typical:
Some time ago a man threw bomb
at a governor, killed him and escaped.
The government sent all over the en-
pire a placard and two photographs Of
the assassin, his front view and his
profile And three weeks later a po-
liceman in western Siberia telegraphed :
Have captured both criminals and
am bringing them to Petersburg"
At midnight in Petersburg an inno-
cent peace-loving professor stood on a
bridge staring into the sluggish waters
of the Neva. He was thinking Of a rival
professor who had new theory about
gravitation.
THAT man." said the professor aloud,
''is the dullest idiot in Russia"
Instantly big policeman pounced
upon him out of the darkness and with.
out word began dragging him off. The
poor old professor shock with terror.
"Why am 1 arrested?" he cried
"What IL my crime?'
High treason" growled the police
man.
But why? Why?
"Oh, don't try to fool'me! You called
his imperial majesty an idiot!'
Heavens cried the Mortified pro
fessor, the spectac1es falling from his
nose why should you think waf
speaking of the Carr"
The big policeman stopped and looked
down, puzzled.
1.-The dullest idiot in Russia" he said
slowly, searching his memory. 'Wht
else could you have meant?"

@WO boys they were-one lowly
and poor, one aristocratic and
= rich!
And they were both the only chill
dren Of their parents.
Likewise they would each In time
come into the inheritance Of their
fathers.
The vicar, old and gray-halred,
preached a sermon one day upon this
sells SUBJECTIVE Inheritance Of
their fathers-and tried to impress his
congregation with the seriousness and
Importance of such q succession. He
pictured to them the rich Inheritance
Of an earthly father, who had laid by,
and saved up, that his son might one
day come into the possession OF an in
heritance worthy Of his name and sire
he drew the other picture-that OF a
man, wine-bibber and a glutton,
spending his days in the pursuit Of
evil, and laying up for his children and
his childrens children an inheritance
Of sin and sorrow and suffering!
The words fell on the ready ears Of
farmer, who was hone too we'll off,
and had some difficulty in making both
ends meet. He silently registered a
vow that the chubby-faced boy lying
IN his cradle in the tiled farmhouse
kitchen should never have occasion to
blush for the inheritance Of his fathers.
The opposite side OF the aisle, in his
family pew, the squire of the parish
sat quietly doing through the old cler-
gyman's discourse. What good could
1t possibly do to keep him awake while
the vicar lectured on morals to the
tenants and poorer brethren? They
had need of such sermons. perhaps

one Of the boys. We'll row close to

They backed the boat to within a
distance of fifteen or twenty feet from
the shore and called to the dog:
Come, Rover! Get aboard!"
Rover dashed out into the water.
When he was within a few feet of
them they began rowing away from
him, but encouraged him to come on.
Keeping just ahead of him, they lured
him out into the lake distance of q
hundred yards or more. Then the old
dog, feeling his strength failing. and

CHAPTER XIV.


have been asked by my dear husband
to conclude the story of which he has
placed the greater part before you. l
should have preferred that he had not
tried to recall details which l know he
cannot remember without suffering; but
having once yielded to the persuasion of
his friends, 1 am ready to take every
share of the burden that he will yield
to me.
My father and l, with Reski, the man
that Sir Henry had summoned from Po-
land, arrived in the Engadine without
any incident that is worthy of descrip-
ton. We had engaged rooms in the prin-
cipal hotel under the name of Jackson, as
had been suggested. My father stood
the journey very well. But this neces-
sity for giving a false name annoyed
him extremely. 1t was the first time in
his life that he had done so, he said, and
I had some difficulty in persuading him
not to confess the whole circumstances
to the manager ON the day after our ar
rival.
1t was on the fourth day of our visit,
about five in the evening. that we re-
ceived a telegram from London. 1t read:
1--WE are coming at once.-Graden.
As can be imagined, we were very
puzzled about 1t. We had sent no mes,
sage, and we could not think what was
the reason for their sudden determine
ton. Reski behaved in a most curious
fashion when l told him. 1t might have
been the news of some great good for
tune that had reached him.
1T is very well, very we'll" he KEPT
on repeating in German-a language
which, fortunately, l can speak, though
| not very correctly.
"What do you mean?" l asked him.
Zach, Fraulein! if the two English
men are coming, does it not mean tina
Marnac is here?"

fear of that dreadful man was always

but he, with his broad acres, his we'll
filed purse, and his unsullisd name. he
had no need Of advice from any one.
In satin trimmed cot, in 4 nursery
fit for lord, lay his delicate baby son.
What fair heritage would one day
be his! He could not help himself,
the little fellow; his father had mon
ey and lands to leave him, which had
no equal anywhere else In the eoun-
try.
The Inheritance of his fathers. or
course Gilbert would inherit every
stick and stone, every rarthing.
The responsibility Of his wealth
never troubled the squire. He sub
scribed to the various parochlal chart
ties with many grumble; he paid
the old vicar something over his sti-
pend every Christmas, to save the
souls of every one but himself. Did
he not nobly fulfill his responsibilities?
So the sermon that hot May morn
Ing fell on his unheeding ears. and
he wished young Farmer Blatherley a
understanding "good-day" as he almost
rubbed shoulders with him on his way
to his carriage, all unconscious Of the
fact that the inheritance Of the poor
mans son was likely to be q much
richer one than that of his own son!
| John Blatherley picked up his laugh
Ing young son when ne reached the
Bpotlessly clean kitchen, glad to get
out Of the glare of the MONDAY sun.
And he pressed his lips to the soft
cheek and renewed the VOW he had
made little earlier in the day.
Meanwhile Gilbert Dayle drove back
to his ancestral home in his luxurious
iy appointed carriage, with it's pair OF
prancing bays.
His small son, an infant edition OF
himself, was playing with Its nurse on
the soft green grass near the study
window, soft, thin, white-cheeked
boy of two.
What had been the inheritance OF
his fathers, so far? 1t was written or
the baby face in indelible lines!

But no; no one came in answer TO his

gorse bush was unequal to the strain
put upon it; the weight of the Two
boys was more than 1t could bear Jack
realized this; his companion was mucn
too frightened to think Of anything ex-
cept tears!
He looked at the beach below-the
cruel shingles-the awful drop berore
they could be reached. Could one drop
6fty feet and reach the ground IN
safety? He knew that 1t was impos-
slble.
And yet-the gorse bush could hold
one bows weight. Gilbert was moth
ing; and there was little ledge FOR
him to rest on, sufficient for one, but
not for two.
He must drop-the bush was giving
every minute-Gilbert would be safe.
He raised his bright eyes to the pitt
less skies, and then lowered them; In
the distance, very far off. he saw men
running.
Help! Help"
With one mighty effort he raised his
voice and shouted, and then as the
memory of his dads words, 1.-The inner
itance of his fathers" came over him,
his eyes filled with tears. He would
not inherit-but another would The
dad would get some one else; his duty
lay-elsewhere.
"Good-by, Gilbert" he said, quietly.
You stay here on this little ledge;
keep hold of this bush, and never turn
your eyes back. They are coming to
save us-they are quite close now;
whatever you do, hang on and never
forget me-"
Gilbert was too frightened to take in
the meaning of Jacks farewell; he
only heard the tones die away In the
distance.
And Jack, breathing the one great
prayer which, whether they will or no,
rises to the lips of most men and wom-
en- at some time of their life, Our
Father which art in heaven" loosed
his hold of the fragile branch, and
slipped-away-dow ut
ter darkness.
Ten minutes later strong hands
pulled Gilbert up on 10 the heather
above. Farmer Blatherley sought the
side of the cliff with anxious eyes.
Jack" he called and only the sea-
sulls answered. Jack! !" they echoed
with mournful inslstence.
Leaving Gilbert in the care Of other
hands. the young farmer made for
gully near at hand, down which he ran
to the beach.
He had not far to seek. A merciful
hawthorn had broken his lads fall !:
and he lay, white and still in It's
thsrny embrace, his bright eyes turned
to the turquoise sky.

CHAPTER XIV.

The sun was up very red and bold, as
we passed through Zurich; and where 1t
touched the great lake, the waters shone
scarlet as blood under the slanting rays
Before us the Alps were heaving upward,
growing mightier every hour, with the
pinnacles of their strange frost kingdoms
blushing in the early sunshine. BY eleven
o'clock we had left the open country,
passing into labyrinth OF valleys,
crowned with pines, waiting black ana
silent on their snow carpets, scored Win
torrents and patched with frozen taTns.
Coire was reached by half-past one, and
the narrow gauge of the Thusis line car
ried us through meadows and brushwood
morasses until we crossed the upper
Rhine and drew into the station which
ia set under the cliff bastions, outworks
of the Alp citadels beyond.
1t was then three of the clock. There
were still forty miles left of ou1 journey

Yet our progress was insufferably tedi-

into walk, while our straining team
tugged heavily up the pass OF Schyn.
To our left the ridge barred the view; but
on the right, narrow valleys sliced deep
into the glittering heights above gave us
sight of the stately peaks that senti-
nelled the eastern sky. In an hour we
had entered the forest of Versasca-for
such, have learned, is its name-and
SO climbed on through the dismal ave-
nues of zines till we passed through gal
leries and tunnels, hewn deep in the cliff
side, out into the barren snow fields once
again.
The sun was setting as we ratified over
the pavement of the hill village of lief

of the Albula Gorge. The dying rays
