watched the chief.
Back; feint and counter; swift step
to the side; the elang of steel once and

but the science of the elder man overmas-

"Tetanus," said the Boy.

The chief spoke lightly. But Murray
went away from his words, and turned
his face to the warm scented air blowing
past the portfolio.
The Boy shook himself, and laughed.
1T was hauling Poddy round, then, !
suppose. I'll take it out of you tonight.
Poddy. Well Dull hound-that's
the way I've got to talk, you know
Dull hound, die!"
The light was fading in the wardroom.
Reflection struck back from the curled
wave upon the Boys alert face and the
chiefs half closed eyes and high, drawn

sounded through the portfolio, and the

1t was no more than sigh; for the
chief was very clever swordsman, and
he had been looking for the opening for
SO long. Ches caught the Boy as he
pitched forward, and Murray's hands
fumbled in hot blood where they tore the
shirt open.
The Boys head was on the chiefs
knee, and Murray looked into the stern
face above the young one for one instant.
And the flood of pity in his heart was
not for the Boy.
Then he stopped lower,
It's all right, now, dear old chap

But the Boy mad found that out for

given as the reason for the declination.

Simplifying an Important Struggle.

A bill has been introduced in the Leg
islature of Maryland to prevent the i'm
portation into that state of cattle af-
flicted with tuberculosis. 1t provides
that cattle shall be refused admission TO
the state unless the shipper possesses
certificates from an inspector in the
state in which they were purchased
testifying that the animals were SUBJ
Jected to the tuberculin test and found
free from disease. 1t provides also
that when cattle brought into Mary
land are unaccompanied by certificates
they shall be held in quarantine near the
state line until they can be examined
and either condemned or released by
the State Live Stock Sanitary Board
a heavy penalty is prescribed for viola
lions of the law.
1t is said that this protective legis!a-
ton is prompted by the fact that Mary
land has been made a dumping ground
by owners of diseased cattle. New
York was compelled TO institute pro
tective measures for the same reason.
and as the states which have not taken
steps to bar out tuberculous cattle be-
come fewer in number they will more
quickly be brought into line by the rush
of sick animals over their borders
Eventually every state in the Union will
ne compelled 10 guard Itself with inSDec-
ton laws, and then the problem of sun
preston will be confined within state
boundaries and made qaite simple.
After shipping from one state to an
other becomes impossible, the leading
markets in each of the states will be
compelled to establish inspection. In
this way tuberculous cattle will be made
unstable, and farmers will be com
PEELED to establish sanitary conditions

movement now has so much momentum
that this eventuality may safely be pre-
dicted.-Evening Wisconsin. Milwaukee.
