feared they might be.
What dainty thing their nest building

They Saved Logs

An anecdote which is amusing on account
M pi the cheek" it displays, comes from Ohio.
1t was during a freshet, after season of pro.
traeted drouth. A great food came down the
Ohio River, bearing on its bosom baystacks,
driftwood, sawlogs, live stock and few men.
women and children clinging to the wrecks Of
their houses. Hundreds of people came forth
to rescue the drowning victims, others sought
to save the perishing cattle, horses and sheep,
but none so excited as a sawmill man. He
had an eye-both eyes-on the sawlogs, thou
sands of them, and all the property Of men
five hundred miles up stream.
He wanted those logs, but at the same time
he did not want to incur any personal risk.
SO he mounted the head of his logway and
attracted the attention of so many of the
crowd as were not trying to save life and
property, and made an eloquent speech
The ending was something like this: "And
now, fellow citizens and men-if you are men
-bestir yourselves and save those logs and
III give you half Of theml"
They say it is an actual fact that the men,
saved about hundred logs before they re-
allied the absurdity of the offer.

could not deliberately take it without doing
violence TO his better self.
"No one will suspect you, and the owner
will think he lost it," whispered the evil
voice.
Still he hesitated, and still the desire to

Right and wrong struggled for the mastery,

to be at home in none. Then he took it out

Suddenly his heart beat quicker, for one of
James, with his burden Of guilty con-
