After several sudden jerks and ab- rupt stops the Chicago man on the southern railroad became apprehen- sive. Calling the porter aside, he said.
 San. is this train safe?"
 Safe as any, sah.' assured the porter
 Well, is there a block system on this road?"
 Sans grin extended from ear to ear
 Block system, boss? Why, we hab de greatest block system in de world. Ten miles back we were blocked by a load of hay six miles back we were blocked by mule, just now we were blocked by COW and l reckon when We get further souf we'll be blocked by an alligator.

How the Cow Helped Australia.

Corn is king in America and the COW is queen in Australia" remarked k. J. Guthrie, agricultural editor of the Sydney Mail. "The COW has redeemed the country, and hundreds of farmers wbo lost nearly all they had by the drought of 1902 are now better off than they ever were, and it is all due to the COW. Australian butter ranks well up with the best butter in the world.
 Our butter making is all done by the cooperative creamery system. It has been years since the farmer made butter on the farm. We have little use for dual purr.ose COW in Aus tralia. That is, the dairy farmer wants a COW that will give milk ten months in the year, and he uses it for no other purpose, while those who raise cattle for beef have no thought of milk production.

 He bent swiftly forward and took one of her hands in his. Instinctively she clenched it; and he wrapped his strong hard fingers around the small white fist, then deliberately inserted a hard finger joint between her sec ond and third knuokles, slowly in- creasing the pressure. And watched with absolute indifference the lines of agony grave themselves upon her smooth unwrinkled forehead, and the color leave her cheeks. as the pain grew too exquisite. Then, suddenly dis continuing the pressure, but retain ing her hand, he laughed shortly.
 Will you speak, my lady, or will you have more?"
 Don't" she gasped. please

How a Cat caunht Two Rats

I once had a cat who did a rather remarkable rating feat He stalked two young rats on the caves of low flat stable roof. and caught one in the usual way. The other jumped on to an elderberry tree just below. Bob, however. not satisfied with the one grasped 1t firmly in his mouth, and then jumped headlong fer the other Either he was very lucky or extraordi narily agile, for he fell to the ground with one rat still in his mouth and the other in his paws, and promptly killed them both.-Scotsnan

 An abrupt and resonnding hammer ing at the outer door forced him to leave off. He dropped her hand with an oath and springing to his feet drew his revolver: then, with a glance at the girl, who was silently weeping, tears of pain rolling down her cheeks, mouth set in thin pale line of de- termination, strode out and shut the door after him. | As it closed the girl leaped to her feet maddened with torture, wild eyes casting about the room for a weapon of some sort. of offense or defense; for she could not have endured the tor | ture an instant longer If forced to it. to fight fight she would If only she had something. a stick of wood, to defend II. x. 1 nothing at all. | The room was typical office, well | but severely furnished.

 But he would heari Or was the par ition sound proof?
 As if in contradiction of the sugges- tion, there came to her ears very clear ly the sound of the hall door creaking on it's hinges, and then a mans voice, shrill with anger and anxiety.
