the humiliation of his situation burned
into his proud heart. Much as he would
have liked to meet Mackay, there re-

Flight was the only word which could
describe his journey. and as he planned his
course on the morrow, how he would ride
to 1nvergarry, and then return on his
course and then make his way to Cluny,
he started to his feet and paced the room

the best officer the government had in
Scotland. and yet it was only in the last
resort he became commander-in-chief. He
was the only honest man among a gang

he was once dismissed from 1t: he was en-
titled to substantial rewards and yet
he had to make degrading appeals to OBJ
tain his due. He was loyal to foolish
ness, yet he was represented to the court
as man who could not be trusted. He
had only two love affairs: the first brought
him the reputation of mercenary aims and
the second almost ruined his life. He en-
parked on a contest which was, hopeless
from the beginning. and died at the close
heart Of Jean Cochrane, he failed in ev-

SPARK TRIED TO CRAWL INTO THE BED.
en- door ajar, placed big pan of mush
and soup bones on the floor and went
to bed. Three hours later he was
awakened by Gathering in the kitch-
en-, and a moment later the hound,
with his head stuck in a two gallon
milk can, waddled erratically into the
bedroom. To say that the animals
master was surprised is putting it mild
ly. At first he wasn't sure that it was
his dog, but when he spoke Spark
thumped his tail and tried to crawl
into the bed.
1t was necessary to use can opener
to free the dog, and the job required
something like fifteen minutes. All
this time Spark stood perfectly still,
but the moment he was released he
made for his supper and ate as though
famished. The animal probably found
the can near some old camp, for it was
covered with rust. Doglike, he investi-
gated the interior with the hope of
finding food and couldn't remove his
head. He must have found his way
home by scent, as it was impossible
for him to see through the cans bot
tom.

PUSSY TAKES A. TRAIN TRIP.
Roundhouse Cat Rides Eighty five
Miles on Maine Central Engine.


Miles on Maine Central Engine.
The Portland roundhouse cat arrived
of Waterville, Me-, the other day after
what the train crew considered an
eventful trip.
When Pete Coyne's big engine left
the roundhouse of the Maine Central
at Portland recently pussy was found
asleep in front of the fireman's seat in
the cab. She was put off, and the en-
CINE was hooked on to long string Of
freight cars.
When the train arrived at Brunswick,
Engineer Coyne while oiling found the
cat at perfect ease in a snug little
place between the great driving wheels
alongside the boiler and just above the
airbrake cylinders. At his approach
the cat arose and leisurely walked
around the locomotive. All the way
from Brunswick persons at the differ
ent stations saw the cat on the front
Of the engine apparently unconcerned
and unmindful Of the stiff wind, the
flying cinders and the rattle and bang
of the machine as it passed over the
eighty-five miles of road.
When the train arrived in Waterville
the cat was as black as any other black
cat. 1t was given bath and placed in
charge of one Of the train crews and is
now back with the old folk.

A CONTRACT WITH STATE
BREWERS WILL ATTEMPT TO EN-.
FORCE SAME
Claim That Under Charter They Have
Legal Right to Continue.

ATLANTA, July 30.-The question
has been raised in connection with
the State prohibition bill as to wheth-
er the large brewing companies of
Georgia will be protected by their
charters. These companies have
charters from the state covering a
total period of twenty years, in some
instances these charters still have
fifteen to twenty years to run. These
companies have, it may be assumed,
complied with the terms of their
charters, having carried on only the
business permitted under them. The
State prohibitionists claim to have
no fears on this point, but this view
of it is exciting no small amount
of interest and it is said that the case
is sure to be tested. If the breweries
should be upheld under their char
ters they would of course have the
right to continue to manufacture and
sell beer The prohibitionists assert
that there will be no doubt of the eff
fectiveness of the law, once it is pass

No, they do not. but Herpicide does,
