SYMPTOMS OF RABIES.
Signs by Which You Ma, Know When
Doq Is Really Mad.

Hydrophobia is SO rare and terrifying
that its symptoms and treatment ar.
little understood. AS matter of fact.
the commonly accepted expression o.
madness in dog is often misleading
The real mad dog does not shun WI
ter, as it is said. On the contraI.
mad dogs often rush to the water ana
drink it eagerly, if they are able to
swallow. The mad dog does not frotb
at the mouth. 1t does not run amuck.
swapping at everything in its path
What, then are the indications of the
mad dog? To those familiar with
given dog the surest symptom and the
one which should excite closest atten-
ton is a distinct and unaccountable
change in the dogs disposition, staid
dog becoming eycitable and frisky
one dull. That condition does not nee
essarily mean rabies, but it is sus-
picious, and if in addition the dog has
trouble in swallowing, as though it
seemed to have bone in its throat,
beware! That dog should be instantly
tied up, because if it be rabies it takes
but Cay or two for feroclous In
stincts to develop. The unmistakable
evidence, however Of a dog with
rabies is the sticky, whitish saliva
which covers the teeth and shows on
the drawn lips. The eyes glare and
are red; the dog has paroxysms Of run
ming fury, during which it barks
hoarsely, which alternate with periods
Of temporary exhaustion. = Caspar

CHAPTER XXI.

Az was breaking as Glenister
a came down the mountain With
y the first light he halted TO
- sean the trail, and, having no
means of knowing that the fresh tracks
he found were not those of the two
riders he followed. he urged his 1ather-
ed horse ahead till he became suddenly
conscious that he was very tired and
had not slept for two days and nights.
The recollection did not reassure the
young man, for his body was a weapon
which must not fail in the slightest
measure now that there was work to
do. Even the unwelcome speculation
upon his physical handicap offered re-
lief. however, from the agony which
fed upon him whenever he thought of

Vitus Bering and his crew; for their
others flesh they ran mad and felt
superhuman strength. It is true, at
any rate, that neither was conscious
of the filling room, nor the cries of the
crowd, even when the marshal forced
himself through the wedged door and
fell upon the nearest, which was Glen
lister. He came at an instant when the
two had paused at arms length, glar-
ing with rage drunken eyes, gasping
the labored breath back into their
lungs
With a~fing of his long arms the
young man hurled the intruder aside
SO violently that his head struck the
iron safe and he collapsed insensible.
Then without apparent notice of the
interruption, the fight went on. 1t was
seen during this respite that McNa-
mara's mouth was running water as
though he were deathly sick, while
every reich brought forth a groan.
Helen heard herself crying, "Stop
themi Stop them" But no one seemed
capable of interference. She heard her
brother muttering and his breath COM
ing heavily like that OF the fighters, his
body swaying in time to theirs. The
Judge was ashy. imbecile, helpless.
McNanara's distress was patent to
his antagonist, who advanced upon
him with the hunger of promised vic
tory. but the young mans muscles
obeyed his commands sluggishly; his
ribs seemed broken, his back was
weak, and, on the inner side of his legs

together the boss reached up his right
hand and caught the miner by the face,
burying thumbs and fingers crablike
into his cheeks, forcing his slack jaws
apart thrusting his head backward,
while he centered every ounce of his
strength in the effort to MAIN. Roy
felt the flesh giving way and flung
himself backward to break the hold,
whereupon the other summoned his
wasting energy and plunged toward
the safe, where lay the revolver. In
stinet warned Glenister Of treachery,
told him that the man had sought this
last sresource to save himself, and as
he saw him turn his back and reach
for the weapon the youth Ieaped like
panther. selling him about the waist,
grasping McNamara's wrist with his
right hand. For the first time during
the combat they were not. face to face,
and on the instant Roy realized tho
advantage given him through the 9th
er's perfidy, realized the wrestler's
hold that was his and knew that the
moment OF victory was come.
The telling takes much time, but so
quickly had these things happened that

which, clutched in the two hands,
swayed back and forth or darted up
and down, the fury of resistance caus-
ing it to trace formless patterns in the
air with its muZzle. Mcnamara shook
himself, but he was close against the
safe and could not escape, his head
bowed forward by the lock of the min
er's left arm, and so he strained till the
breath clogged in his throat. Despite
the grievous toll his right hand moved
back slightly. His feet shifted q bit,
while the blood seemed bursting from
his eyes, but he found that the long
fingers encircling his wrist were like
gives weighted with the strength OF
the hills and the irresistible vigor of
youth which knew no defeat. Slowly,
inch by inch. the great mans arm was
dragged back, down past his side, while
the strangling labor Of his breath show
ed at what awful cost. The muzzle OF
the gun described a semicircle and the
knotted hands began to travel toward
the left, more rapidly now, across his
broad back. Still he struggled and
wrenched, but uselessly. He strove to
fire the weapon, but his fingers were

ALTA COPPER

H. {. Parker, consulting engineer for
the Alta Copper company. a local corpo-
ration recently formed to operate an ex-
ceptionally fine group of claims on Lit
tie Lost river, in Idaho. came down from
camp yesterday more Than ever pleased
with the manner in which the ground is
responding to development work The tun-
mel on the American claim in the group
is now in distance of $50 feet with the
contractors making two feet a day. Face
samples of the ore taken before he left
the property have been assayed and found
TO carry 1.O2 ounces gold and 174.6 ounces
silver per ton.
THAT kind of stuff is too good to throw
over the dump said Mr.. Parker. land
sacks are being shipped to the mine in
order that the ore may be saved and
shipped to market. AT the depth beneath

OF 500 feet deeper in the vein and 1t
is evident that most of the copper has
leached down. About fifty feet ahead
of the present face of the tunnel there
is a big blowout of ore. and when that
point is reached in the tunnel l look for
remarkably fine body of pay ore, ore
that will stand the wagon haul and rail-
road transportation to the smelters and
still leave a big profit. This ledge can
be followed for a long distance through

GEO. |, WALKER
!. ON COPPER METAL
Nothing Yet in Sight to Suggest
a Coming Business
Boom Soon.

In last Saturdays Boston Commercial
George L. Walker sizes up the copper
metal situation as follows:
Copper is much more active and
stronger this week. Lake is now 1874 to
1874 cents. and electrolytic is 1885 cents
per pound. Domestic consumers have
bought heavily, and what appeared to be
foreign speculative buying has also been
factor. American manufacturers held
off until the price of copper began to
advance and then generally covered their
requirements for about two months ahead
at the rising quotations. The two months
production of copper. in visible supplies
recently. has nearly all been sold, and
IL Is to be delivered in August and Sep
TENDER. Producing interests as a rule
report themselves pretty well sold out
up to date. This means that all their
refined cop-< ready for market has been
disposed of, and that they are now ready
to begin selling for advance delivery the
metal they are producing and have in
process of refining.
Inquiry among consuming interests
LEADS us to believe that the metal mar
ket may get dull again very soon. Brass
