But Barnes is not SO easy about his

cabin and finds the wind has died

cries the girl SO eagerly that Barnes
puts grateful eyes upon her. for he
knows it is her spirit more than her
strength that produces her assent to
further journey.
They are making hurried prepara-
tiOns to leave the cabin. Barnes is
bending over the fire. brewing Ma

trOtting all over the farm at her fOs-
ter-father's heels; out to the hen
house to feed the chickens: back to
the pump to get pail of water for
Sam. the old horse: down to the berry
patch to pick berries for supper; over
to the pasture after the COW.
Wherever Uncle Hezekiah went Susie
went. too, or wanted to. 1t was very
funny to see the old farmer and his
faithful follower
One day Uncle Hezekiah had to go
to town ON business. He was already
in sight of the court house tower
when he remembered that he had not
locked Susie in her shed as usual. He
turned around and looked behind him
in some uneasiness. In the distance
was a small cloud of dust. 1t came
nearer and nearer.
Yes, it was Susie. She had fol-
lowed him these three miles to town.
Uncle Hezekiah stopped his horse.
Susie's feet clattered faster over the
dusty road as she saw the beloved
face of her master turned toward
her. When she reached the buggy she
gave a joyous grunt Of greeting.
Well, Susie. what does this mean"
Uncle Hezekiah spoke sternly. NO
one told you you might come. Go
straight home!'
The joyous twist of Susie's tail un-
wound, and she stood looking at him
with mournful eyes. as he whipped up
his horse and rolled away rs fast as
Sans stiff old legs could carry him.
1t was eight o'clock in the evening
before Uncle Hezekiah had finished
his errands and started for the farm.
He had reached the top of the hill
where he had left Susie in the after
noon. when he thought he heard a
familiar sound in tine darkness. He
listened:
Ugh! Ugh: Ugh! Ugh:"
The tones were rs full of love and
longing as pig language can express.
1t was the voice of the faithful Susie.
She had waited for him all the after
noon and evening in this same spot
where he had left her. How could he
sc0ld her?
rs that you. Susie. my girl:" he
called. We'll! we'll! You must be
hungry. So am l. Let's go home as
fast as We can and get some supper"
Susie trotted happily along nnile:
the buggy. She was very intelligent
pig. and she pricked up her pink ears
to try to hear that song Uncle Heze-
kiah was chanting in his deep bass.
He was chuckling 50 she could hardly
understand him. but it sounded like:

A THRILLING ADVENTURE.
The Escape, Pursuit and Lassoing Of
Tiger in Tennessee.

A tiger in Tennessee may be set
down as a decided novelty. and the
account of its capture makes an in
teresting story.
One day circus came to Knoxville,
and on the eve of departure the circus
wagons were being loaded on the cars.
A switch engine was showing some
cars about. when one of them became
derailed. cOlliding violently with two
cage-wagOns. and the cage containing
three tigers was badly damaged. The
woodwork was crushed in. leaving a
hole of sufficient size for the tigers
to get out.
One Of the animals leaped from the
cage on to the fiat car, and from there
to the ground. The two remaining
ones were about to follow suit. when
the trainer and several other employees
of the circus rushed up to the cage
and prevented the exit But one OF
the tigers was at large. and as soon
as the fact became generally known
stampede of the people in the vicinity
occurred. while the circus men rushed
to inform the managers.
Preparations for the capture of the
tiger were made. One of the Texas
cowboys, and the one most perfect in
handling lasso, was detailed to make
the attempt. The man handling the
tiger was also instructed to assist in
the dangerous duty, and the pair went
to work.
They located the tiger about a
stones throw from the cage in which
he had been confined. The huge brute
was crouched under a box car. be-
tween the rails. His eyes shOne
brightly and looked to his captors as
large as two full moons.
A large dry goods box was procured.
a hole bored in the bottom and the
box placed on its side: convenient to
the animal. One end of the lassO
was showed through the hole and the
Texan threw the rope. His judgment
was perfect, and the lariat dropped
over the neck and left foreleg of the
tiger to a nicely. Then the work Of
landing the animal in the box began.
He was pulled up to 1t slowly, and
although he resisted considerably. was
At last safely lodged in the box. but
not until he had torn OF one glove
worn by the cowboy and lacerated his
hand badly. The box was then nailed
up and the tiger hauled away, sr0wl-
ing spitefully.
