upon them in the darkness from the
far end of their nest limb, or leaping
down out of the upper branches.
The nerves of all three were at their
highest tension when dark form
swept past through the air within a
yard OF their faces. Miss Leslie ut
tered a stifled scream and Blake
brandished his club But WINTHROP,
who had caught a glimpse of the crea-
lures shape, broke into a nervous
laugh.
Its only a fruit bat" he explained.
"They feed on the banyan figs, you
know"
In the reaction from this false alarm.
both men relaxed and began to yield
to the effects of the tramp across the
mud-fats. Arranging the reeds as
best they could they stretched out on
either side of Miss Leslie and fell
asleep in the middle of an argument
on how the prospective leopard was
mostly likely to attack.
Miss Leslie remained awake for
two or three hours longer. Naturally
she was more nervous than her COM
panions, and she had been refreshed
by her afternoons nap. Her nervous
ness was not entirely due to the wild
beasts. Though Blake had taken pains
to secure himself and his companions
in loops of the creeper fastened to
the branch above, WINTHROP moved
about so restlessly in his sleep that
the girl feared he would roll from the
hollow.
At last her limbs became so
cramped that she was compelled 20
change her position. She leaned
back upon her elbow, determined to
rise again and maintain her watch
the moment she was rested. But
sleep was close upon her. There was
lull in the louder noises of the jun
gle. Her eyes closed, and her head
sank lower. In a little time it was ly-
ing upon Winthrope's shoulder and she
was fast asleep.
AS Blake had asserted, the mos
quitoes had either been blown away
by the cyclone or did not fly to such
a height. None came to trouble the
exhausted sleepers.

Spokane, Wash. Where the chill
winds sweep and the snow-drifts form
great overhanging lodges will break in
to slides with the approach of warm
weather, dog maintains its lonely
vigil on the summit of a mountain in
the Occur d'Alene country near here.
Parties have searched the hills, but
no one has solved the mystery of the
animals faithful watch. Enough is
known, however, to justify the belief
that the spot was the scene of trag-
edy and that when the snow melts
under the July sun an instance of a
dogs devotion to it's master, even
unto death, will be recorded
Frank Hathaway, linotype oper-
ator employed at Wallace, Idaho,
crossed the trail over the st. Joe di.
vide returning from hunting trip last
fall, before the first snow. Passing
through a heavy timber growth below
the divide he heard a shotgun fired as
fast as it could be loaded. Then a
rifle chimed in. Forty shots were
fired in rapid succession. Hathaway
saw no one in the wild region, but
spoke of the incident to Nj. Living
ston. prospector, living in a cabin
several miles down the trail.
Livingston says he heard the plain
tive bowling of dog coming from
far up on the mountain that night.
Again OH the succeeding night the
dog howled, and on the fourth night
after the shooting a strange dog was
seen skulking about Livingston's cab
in in search of food. He fled at the
prospector's approach, but meat left
outside the shack disappeared during
the night. Every night since the dog
has been fed.
A few weeks after the shooting the
first blizzard of the winter swept over
the mountain, and after three days of
storm the ground was left covered
with six feet of snow. Still the lone

ly dog made trips TO the cabin, each
time returning to the mountain top.
When snow had succeeded snow
and the cold, clear weather of later
January came, Livingston climbed the
mountain to find the dogs hiding
place The animal's frequent trips
made a trail which was plainly Wis
ible, and after trailing a mile above
the cabin the dog was found lying in
the shelter Of a bush. making its bed
in the snow. The animal fed at Liv

he departed.
Four months have elapsed since the
dog began its vigil. 1t has remained
at this one spot. sleeping in snow and
ice and travelling down the steep
mountainside for its food. Every man
in Wallace believes that when July's
sun clears away the snow covering
the bleak height, the body of the dogs
master will be uncovered.

Ate a Chick with Big Eyes.

A trainman Ia telling an incident
that occurred on a Mohawk e. Malone
train up in the woods the other day.
The train was standing on siding
waiting the arrival and passing of an
other train when an Italian walked
through the coach, his hands crossed
on his stomach and his head wagging
from aide to side in q doleful manner.
What's the matter, John?" some
one inquired.
"Oh, me sick-me sick as dev," re-
piled the man, rolling his head still
more distressingly and continuing the
rubbing Of his stomach.
Sick? Well, what you been eat
ing?" asked the sympathetic passen-
ger
"Eata de chick with the big eyes,"
responded John, as his groans in
creased.
John had allied an owl the night
before and it didn't agree with him.

so, the chief surgeon saying: 'Inever

other to swing the girl up beside him
on the branch.
''All right. Miss Jenny" he reas-
sured her as he felt her tremble. "Sor-

He had seated her in the broadcast

had gathered during the afternoon it
made such coy shelter that she
at once forgot her dizziness and fright
Nesting among the reeds, she leaned
over and pressed down on his ankles
with all her strength.
The loose end of the creeper had
fallen to the ground when Blake lifted
her upon the branch and WINTHROP
was already slipping into the loop.
Blake ordered him to take it off and
send up the club AS the creeper was
again flung down a black shadow

within reach of the descending loop
he grasped it and did what he could
to ease Blake's efforts. A few mo
ments found him as high above the
ground as Blake could raise him.
Without waiting for orders, he swung
himself upon the upper part of the
creeper and climbed the last few feet
unaided. Blake grunted with satisfac-
ton as he pulled him in upon the
branch.

"At any rate, we're all aboard for the
night; and none too soon. Hear that?"
WHAT"

Listen"
The brief twilight was already fading
into the darkness of a moonless night,
and as the three crouched together in
their shallow nest they were soon
made audibly aware OF the savage ma
ture of their surroundings. With the
gathering night the jungle wakened
into full life. From all sides came the
harsh squawking of birds. the weird
cries of monkeys and other small crea-
lures, the crash of heavy animals
moving through the jungle, and above
all the yelp and howl and roar or
beasts Of prey.
After some contention with Win

of his lion might be nothing worse
than the snorting of the hippopotami

PRESSED HARD
Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When prominent men realize. the in
furious effects of coffee and the change
in health that Postum can bring, they
are glad to lend their testimony for
the benefit of others.
A superintendent of public schools
in one Of the southern states says:
MY mother, since her early child
hood, was on inveterate coffee drinker,
had been troubled with her heart for q
number of years and complained Of
that weak all over feeling and sick
stomach.
Some time ago was making an off,
cial visit to distant part Of the coun-
try and took dinner with one OF the
merchants of the place. / noticed a
somewhat peculiar favour of the cof-
fee, and asked him concerning it He
replied that it was Postum.
81 was so pleased with it, that after
the meal was over, bought package
to carry home with me, and had wife
prepare some for the next meal. The
whole family were so well pleased
with it, that we discontinued coffee
and used Postum entirely.
Il had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time, she felt so
much better than she did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with he'
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not so frequent, and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was as well
and hearty as the rest OF us.
Il know Postum has benefited my
self and the other members of the
family, but not in SO marked de-
gree as in the case of my mother, az
she was a. victim of long standing"

JUDGE MITCHELL HOUSE
RANsACKED BY EPICUREAN

Last Saturday night between one
and two O'Clock the residence of
Judge jeff ID. Mitchell was entered
by burglar. He ransackcd every
room in the lower part of the house,
and even paid n visit to the cellar.
Taking Il wax candle from off the
piano in the parlur, he went about
deliberately searching the drawers,
leaving drippings from the candle
along the floor. He was evidently
looking for money, as he didn't take
any clothing nor n watch, jewclry
and rings that were lying around in
plain view. But he gathered up n
lot OF palatable edibles, such as two
pounds OF butter, two dozen eggs, n
dish Of potato salad "A dish Of cram
berries, some grape fruit, IA SOC piece
that was on the cupboard shelf, and
probably some potatoes and apples
from the cellar.
Mrs. Mitchell awoke about that
time and thought she heard some
thing, and after listening awhile aud
not hearing anything more, con
cluded she would go down stairs
and see that everything was all
right She turned on the electric
lights in the hallway and dining
room, and then looking from the
dining room to the kitchen she saw
Hight there. Stepping to the door
she surprised "A man in the kitchen,
| and asked him what he was doing.
He turned and looked at her in a
bending posture, and then started
owards her. Mrs. Mitchell
slammed the door in his face aud
screamed, and Judge Mitchell hear.
ing her ran down as quickly as he
| could, but only in time to see the
man making off with his plumber
through the garden, going north
ward. He had evidently gathered
up the articles aud had them stored
in sack or some receptacle on the
porch ready for dash If he were
surprised in his investigation. He
had been to the chicken house, but
it is not known whether he carried
off fat hen or two or not.
Mrs. Mitchell got a good view Of
the man, but did not recognize him.
He was white man OF rather low
stature, about to or Gj years of age
with short gray beard, wore u short
black cont aud black hat and he
h ad on felt lcggins and rObber shoes,
as shown by the large checks in the
tracks made by the shoes.
Shortly after retiring, about ten
O'Clock, some Of the family thought
they heard Il noise, and Mrs. Mitch

and over the house, but found moth
ing wrong. II may have been that
the burglar was there then and heard
them, and concluded to .wait until
he was sure the family were all
ound asleep.
