Gee whiz!" sighed Punks, 9Th

it, Lonesum?" The yellow dog whom
Punks addressed beat his tail affirm
atively upon the sidewalk, as the boy
dropped to the curb for rest.
when it's dark" continued Punks,
well shin tn fence"
Punks had a vague idea that his
undertaking must be carried out
under a charitable mantle of dark
ness; he might not be permitted to
enter the cemetery, he feared, be-
cause he had no folks" there and
had not come with funeral. He
was glad to rest, anyway, for he was
very tired, and the dog was, too.
When Punks had started out that af-
ternoon there had been small hole
in his shoe. By the time he had
reached the cemetery, the whole bot
tom was off, and his foot had been
scraped raw in places. He had meant
to flip cars all the way out, but short
ly after leaving the downtown dis
trict, the yellow dog had claimed fell
lowship with him, and persisted In
keeping up with him. Punks tipped
twice after that, but it made him feel
sorry when the dog ran so hard to
keep even, so he decided to walk
along with his new companion, whom
he dubbed "Lonesum" when he noted
the appealing look in the dogs eyes.
Suddenly Punks jumped up and
peered over the fence. "Yep, that's
it. It's right next that big monu-
mint with tn ball on top where john
ny and his old man is. Straight south
O. this fence post. Well find it all
right in tn dark. Say! tn flowers
look kinder tired" Punks looked
ruefu1ly at the big bunch Of carna-
tons which he held. He had spent
forty cents of his days income on
them. and that, coupled with the fact
that he had missed the evenings sale
Of papers on account of this trip,
meant that he would have no supper.
When it was quite dark, Punks
dropped Lonesum and his flowers
over the fence and followed. Carry
ing the direction well in mind and
followed by Lonesum, who kept a dis
Greet silence, Punks came to his
haven. 1t was grass-grown and
weed-decorated lot in an almost aban-
doned part of the cemetery. To find
the wooden headboards that marked
the resting places of Johnny and
Johnnys grandfather, Punks had to
strike several matches; in the flare
of the third he was startled to see a
man sitting on a wire bench but a
yard or two away. Lonesum, too,
saw the man, and for the first time in
his acquaintance with Punks, showed
fight. He bristled and growled so
threateningly that the stranger, who
had been asleep, awoke in bewilder-
ment.
The match had burnt quite down to
Punks fingers before he realized that
the man was old and quite harmless
in appearance, and then the visions
of arrest that had momentarily
foated before Punks' eyes faded
away.
''Cut it out, Lonesum," he COM
handed 9TH old feller's all right. 3"
| The man sat up. He wore frayed
and faded gray suit and big soft hat,
which, though Punks did not know it,
we would have recognized as the Con-
federate uniform. Where his left
| foot should have been, the end of a
wooden leg appeared.
why, what you doing here, boy?"

Gordon's Rose Tree mt Khartum.

Of the actual work of Gordon's
hands there remains but rosebush
in the palace gardens, which, hewn
down by the malice of his enemies,
sprang to life again with the coming
of spring. 1t is affectionately tended
by an old Sudanese sergeant who was
one of Gordon's men, and stands in
the midst of an earthly paradise.
This rose tree was found blooming
beside the ruins when on the second
day after it's red victory at Omdur-
man a British army was drawn up,
in the full pomp of war, beside the
last earthly habitation of Charles
George Gordon, to give him. in the
religion of the three kingdoms, the
most solemn funeral service ever read
over a General killed in battle.-Sun-

A BROADWAY DUNGEON.

A BROADWAY DUNGEON.
Directly beneath the feet of the
throng which passes endless1y along
Broadway are vaults built as though
for dungeons, In which a frigid at
mosphere Is maintained every day in
the year. The cold chambers usually
flank some hotel or cafe, and in sew
eral cases extend out to the street
line. Only recently man was acct
dentally trapped in one of these
vaults and only by his ingenuity did
he escape being frozen to death.
The barkeeper of a well known
cafe had been sent to the cold room
and had inadvertently looked himself
in. Phe heavy door, built to keep out
the warmth, had slipped to, and the
spring lock had done the rest. The
heavy walls were sound proof as well
as cold proof. The situation ap-
peared almost humorous at first, but
after few minutes spent In pound
ing in vain for relief on the walls
the prisoner began to realize the seri-
BUSINESS of his position. 1t might be
hours before any one would visit the
room, and he might very well freeze
to death.
At the end of perhaps fifteen min
utes the prisoner had become thor
oughly alarmed. BY walking back
and forth in the narrow chamber he
managed to keep up his circulation.
but his hands and feet were already
growing numb. He owned his deliv-
erance to happy inspiration. The
beer pumps which fed the bar above
caught his eye and instantly sug-
gested means of communication.
He quickly turned them all of and
awaited developments. Fortunately
business was brisk at the time, and
the shutting off Of the beer supply
was quickly noticed. In a few min
utes a line of thirsty customers
formed in front of the bar. Investi-
cation followed and the unhappy pris-
oner was discovered and released

23O MILES FROM ANYWHERE.


A walk of 2SO miles, the weather.
ing of cyclone on bamboo raft and
an existence of three weeks on tur-
tie eggs and iguanas are some of the
experiences which recently befeli Cap
tain Williams, in charge of the lug
ger Nebraska, which was lost on
Green Hill Island, 100 miles or there
about from Port Darwin, in the north
ern territory of Australia.
When the lugger broke up Captain
Williams swan to Green Hill Island
and then tried to make the mainland
in dingy which he was able to make
seaworthy. He was caught in a
suuall and after drifting for three
days was carried into the gulf and
eventually landed on Field Island, off
the mouth of the Alligator River.
This island is destitute of water,
but some rain fell, and he eked out
an existence for twelve days on the
small supplies thus obtained and tur-
tie eggs. Both turtles and alligators
were numerous. He then re-em-
barked in the dingy and made his way
into the mouth of the West Alligator
River, but could find no fresh water.
He obtained from the bark of trees
sufficient liquid to sustain life until
rain fell.
Abandoning the dingy he made his
way up the east bank of the Wild
man River, living on sweet potatoes
and iguanas. His matches having
been exhausted he carried fire sticks
with him. He eventually crossed
Wildman River and came out on what
he thinks was Lake Finnis, where
he found plenty of swamp turtles,
iguanas and other native food.
On striking the Adelaide River jun
gle Williams saw plenty of Buffalo,
but his only weapon being a revolver
he did not shoot any. He got down
to the Adelaide River near what is
known as Lawrie's landing, where he
built himself raft of bamboo and

DOG STOPPED RUNAWAY.

Dogs often figure in various thrill
ing episodes, but Joseph Garrant has
a Scotch collie which surprised every
body who saw hi,, Wednesday when
he stopped his masters runaway
horse. Mr.. Garrant had left his horse
hitched to an express wagon, outside
of his shop, on the corner of Cove
street and West French avenue, when
some boys frightened the animal by
throwing dirt at it. The horse start
ed up Cove street at lively pace.
The collie was sitting on the seat OF
the wagon and soon decided that
something was wrong. He jumped
out of the back of the wagon, and
running underneath it, grabbed the
reins, which were trailing on the
ground, in his teeth, and setting his
feet, held on firmly. OF course, the
horse dragged the dog along the
ground, but in grabbing the reins the
collie had gripped one shorter than
the other, and accordingly steered the
horse off Cove street onto First street.
The wagon collided with the curbing
and cramped the wheel. This, coupled
with the weight on the reins. stopped
the horse, and when bystanders
reached the outfit the dog was under
the wagon with his feet braced back
and holding tightly to the reins.
The hor1s and wagon were not In
jured, and the dog, save for loss OF
some hair and skin in several patches,
was none the worse for his expert
ence.-Republican Standard, New

A PATHETIC CASE.

The following ir cident, which oc-
CURED at Great Falls, Montana, last
spring, Is given in the Pioneer Press:
"The victims of the recent blizzard
that swept over the northern portion
of that State, killing thousands OF
lambs and a number of cattle, are
now being found with the passing of
the snow. In nearly every case the
victims were sheep herders who were
caught in the storm and frozen to
death before they could reach shell
ter.
zone of the most pathetic cases
that has come to light Is that of WILL
lam Plumber, an aged man, whose
sole friend, so far as known, was a
handsome shepherd dog which he
had raised from puppy. This dog
could do almost everything except
talk. When Shep, as he was called,
dragged himself into the little sheep
town of Shelby, with two of his legs
frozen, the fate Of Plumber was
known. It was useless to prosecute
a search for him without the aid of
a dog, and as the animal was, ap-
parently, too disabled to make an
other move, 1t was proposed to wait
several days before searching for the
body of the missing man.
"Shep, in spite of his condition.

and although progress was slow and
painful over the snow covered hills
and valleys, the faithful dog led the
party to the body of his master.

hardships he had undergone uttered

ORNAMENTS FOR GRAY HAIR.
Black and White Are Two colors Tha,
Should Be Avoided.

The silver-haired woman makes a
mistake in wearing black in her hair
under the impression that it will
bring out the color The contrast is
too startling, and black deadens the
luster. White darkens the silver tones
and is apt to give the hair greenish
hue.
The most becoming tone that can be
used is silver, though there are certain
shades of turquoise blue that are love-
ly with it.
For daytime or informal wear bows
or fillets of silver gauze are charming,
while for evening a big silver flower
or wreaths and garlands in silver
oak leaves, or narrow silver bands will
give the silver-haired woman a touch
of distinction that no other coloring
can.
Side combs for gray hair are most
effective with silver tops. Gold
combs rarely look we'll, though occa-
sionally those studded with turquoise
are becoming. Rhinestones or dia-
monds go particularly well with sill
very hair but are more becoming
when set in silver OF platinum than in
, gold.
