Nellie Weaver once more became q
source of annoyance to the judge.
Sympathy in Pottersville, as it is apt
to be in any town, was with the young
people. In some way it got rumored
around the town that Nellie's life at
home was made none of the pleasant
est by her father. Further comment
was aroused when the postmaster gave
out that Miss Nellie had returned one
of Wrangle's (the wealthy summer Wis
itor's) letters unopened. The incident
showed a further progress in the stand
taken by the energetic young lady
against the plan of her father to mar
ry her to the aforesaid Wrangle in
stead of to young Wenham.
The crisis was reached early in April.
There had been an ice storm during
the night, making the roads as slip
perry as glass. Unfortunate indeed was

had to venture on them. Trade was

There was ample time for the angry

John Grant drove the nails of the

the shoe down and said that, as he

A Lion Story for Roosevelt.

A more remarkable story is by Sir
Charles Elliott, one of his majesty's
commissioners of the protectorate,
who heard it from the lips of an ex-
cellent man who appeared to believe
it himself and resented incredulity
in others" Told briefly: this gentle
man was marching up from the coast
with a caravan of laden donkeys,
which on one day made remarkable
speed with the exception of the hind
most, who Jagged behind in spite OF
every inducement to keep up with his
companions. On arriving in camp,
the men were Mortified to find that
the supposed donkey was a great
lion, which during the previous night
had killed and eaten a donkey, ears.
hoofs and all, and was so gorged and
torpid that he could scarcely move.
In the uncertain light of the dawn
ing he had been saddled and laden
with the burden carried by his vic
tim, and been driven along behind
the donkeys, who were so alarmed
that they kept ahead of their natural
enemy all day.-National Magazine.
