mate. III hand this barge over to the cap'n and
nobody else"
We'll. We'll see" said the girl. she took the
wheel 4 think you'll go at Ipswich"
For the remainder of the voyage the subject was
alluded to- the mate. in a spirit OF sulky pride
kept to the fore part of the boat, except when he
was steering and, far practicable. the
girl ignored his presence. In this spirit of mutual
forbearance they entered the Orwell, and ran
swiftly up to Ipswich.
1t late in the afternoon when they arrived
there and the skipper, waiting only until they
were made fast, went ashore, leaving the mate in
charge. She had been gone about an hour when
small telegraph boy appeared, and, after boarding
the barge in the unsafest manner possible handed
him telegram The mate read it and his face
flushed With even more than the cUrtness Gus
tomary in language at halfpenny word, it con-
tained his dismissal
I've had a telegram from your father sacking
me-" he said to the girl she returned soon
after, laden with small parcels.
Yes I wired him to- she replied calmly. I

I'D rather go back to London with you he
said slowly.

you said you wouldn't thought we'd see who was

Who IS he?" inquired the mate.
Man named Charlie Lee, replied the girl; the
foreman here told me of him"

The mate flung his on the floor and crunched it
beneath his heel then he thrust his hands in his
pockets, and leaning back. scowled darkly up at
the rain as IT cracked the skylight.

He told you miIksop: he said you were
a good young man and a teetotaler."
The mate allowing the truth of the captains

charge of goodness I can understand your
fathers hurry get rid of for a spell, he
concluded being goaded beyond all consideration
you were with him. More than that, l shouldn't
wonder if you were the OF It."
With this parting shot he departed before the
girl could think OF suitable reply, and went and
sulked in the dinsy little fo'c'sle.
In the evening. the weather having moderated
somewhat. and the tide being on the ebb. they got
under way again. the girl coming on deck fully

/, Wild DOGS In Africa.

The wild dogs in Africa are more
feared by the natives than any other
beasts, for, while they are not to he
dignifed by the term Of game. they
run in packs and seem to know that
the native is afraid of them. Native
burden bearers will often take their
chances in passing around a buffalo
herd and will hardly notice lion, but
when they hear the howl Of the wild
dogs they drop whatever they may be
balancing on their heads and take to
the trees. There they are frequently
held captive until their cries summon
assistance. Crossing the trail Of large
game. these dogs often interfere with
the pursuit. At distance the hunter
is likely to mistake them for leopards
or some of the smaller game. Intense
disgust follows the wounding Of wild
dog. for then, according to the ethics
of the chase, the true sportsman must
pursue and kill the beast. These dogs
are not degenerates, but are natural
mongrels. They have low bodies COW
cred with hair Of coach dog growth,
bushy tails and powerful paws.-Mc-

MOVED PROPERTY
AFTER LEGAL SALE

Jamestown,fi N. D., July 24.-Jacob
Bost, a farm!"r residing in the vicinity
of Medina, refused to recognize the
sale Of his property under a mortgage
foreclosure and as a result found him
self up against criminal prosecution.
Bost was unable to pay the indeb--
edness against his land and the mort
gagged was foreclosed. Immediately
after he commenced to move detach-
able property off the land and carried
off several hundred feet of fence, j.
is alleged. Last night the owner of
the land was startled to find that the
five~room house which had decorated
the premises was no. in place. He
investigated and found that Bost had
moved the same across the prairie.
He followed the wagon wheel marks
and found that his house was being
set in position on Bos.'s premises.
Bost failed to turn the house over
and refused to move it back and de-
clared that it belonged to him. The
owner went 20 Medina, swore out a
warrant for Bost's arres' and the
bearing is being held today.

The Acrobat Artiat.

It is Ii the visible expression Of
strength. grace and vitality that the
artist Of the circus holds himself at
one with the painter and sculptor, but
his art, like that OF the actor, is neces-i
sarily alive and impermanent. Let the
painter set on canvas his fixed pre-
sentiment of lion. tiger or leopard. and
the trainer, by his dangerous medium
Of whip and training stick. will make
the living animals exhibit endless
graces Of subtle line and lovely color.
When he puts his head in the lions
mouth. believe me. he considers it
nothing better than concession to
the groundlings. a mere vulgar, nee
essary potboiler. When he compels
the great tawny thing to repeat the
grace Of natural movement, the
training Of wild animals being always
along the line Of what they do nat
urally. and leap in long, gracious
curve across the arena to an unstable
landing on rolling sphere. he\ feels
that he is doing something worthy Of
himself and his animals. Or. again,
let the sculptor depict flying Mer-
curry; Mercury must at least have a
point Of arrival or departure. But for
one brief moment the young woman
of the circus. swinging through space
from one trapeze to another. is the
grace OF the flying Mercury. To at.
tain this moment of self expression
she has given as long and arduous an
apprenticeship as the artist who works
in clay. bronze or marble.-Ralph Ber-
gengren in Atlantic.
