tone was sharp and angry. Mcclellan
answered chat ne was not aware of

had been told to remain in their quar-

the licutcnantS name.
Mcclellan gave his name and said
that no order of that kind had reached
him. But Lee in Il peremptory tone
ordered him TO 90 TO his quarters and
remain there Then he rode off ana

NO BLESSING FOR HER.
Disappointed Younester Disseminated
In His Prayer.

For several weeks, little Ralph had
enjoyed the use of Shetland pony,
the property of horse dealer who
was friend of the family. But much
to Ralph's sorrow, there came day
recently when the pony was sold, and
the delightful horseback rides came
to a sudden end. The purchaser, as
Ralph found out by inquiry, was a
little girl of about his own mature
age of five. Ever since his acquaint-
ance with the pony began, Ralph had
included him in his bedtime prayer,
and God bless the pony" was an
earnest nightly petition. The first
evening after the sale of the pony,
Ralph hesitated when he reached his
pets place in the prayer. Then, after
q moments thought, he continued:
Please. God, bless the pony just
the same; but, God, don't you bless

May Cure Turtle Flesh.

There is talk in Queensland, Aus
tralia, on whose coast turtles are
plentiful, of curing the flesh for ex-
port. Three kinds of turtle are found
off the coral reefs-the loggerhead,
the hawsbill and the green turtle. The
two latter are edible, and the haws-
bill furnishes the tortoise shell of
commerce. Travellers relate that the
aborigines light fires on the backs of
the turtles to make the shell peel off
easily, after which painful ordeal the
animal is allowed it's freedom and
grows another shell. This is, of
course, a Munchausen yarn. The fact
is that after killing the turtle the
aborignes put it over fire to facili-
tate the removal of the plates. The
professional tortoise shell getters
bury the beast in clean sand, and
when the flesh is decomposed it is
easily taken from the shell. The
plentiful green turtle is of most value
for food.
