A DOES STRATAGEM.
Threw the Dogs of tho Scent an

Threw the Dogs OF tho Scent and
Saved Her Fawn.
The following anecdote Is related by
NJ. X. Raspail 1t is worthy of COM
parison with the most remarkable of
instances Of the same kind
The author one day perceived a doe
in full fight before two dogs in the
Aigle woods that form part Of the
forest of Chantilly. The doe was ac-
companied by a very young fawn.
which appeared quite exhaused and
ready to drop. The mother, doubtless
well aware of this, slackened her pace
and presently stopped close to some
thick bramble bushes. She remained
some time there with lowered head as
If awaiting the onset of her pursuers.
Suddenly an idea seemed to strike
her, and with butt of the head she
tossed her fawn right into the middle
of the thicket. Then, first advancing
gently as if to make sure 1t was well
hidden, she soon set off by rapid bounds
in front of the dogs. The latter bark
ing close upon her heels. she made a
sudden bend and thus drew them far
from the spot where this incident oc-
Cured The bowling Of the dogs be-
came fainter and fainter, the valiant
animal having doubtless led them two
kilometers away into the Canardiere
peat boys. where the dogs often lose
the scent
In fact, later they were seen return
ing to the village In an exhausted con-
dition, while the intelligent mother
doubtless returned to the bushes to
find the little fawn she had so cleverly
hidden and placed in safety.-Vulgari-
sation Scientifique.

ISLAND COMES AND GOES.
Rises In August and Disappears Rssu-
larIy In February.

Rises In August and Disappears Rsau-
lariy In February.
One of Michigan's unsolved mystic
ries is the island that every summer
comes to the surface of Lake Orion
and every winter goes back again to
the depths from whence it arose.
Its periods of appearance and dis
appearance are nearly regular. 1t
comes to the surface about the middle
Of August and goes down again about
Feb. 10. What causes it to act thus
strangely is a conundrum that none
has been able to solve, but to keep it
above water or compel it to remain in
the depths have been alike without re-
suits.
On one occasion a number of farm
ers and teamsters resolved to put the
island out of moving business. In
their efforts to do so they hauled many
loads of stone and deposited them on
it during the early part of winter, be-
lieving that when it went down In
February it would go down for good,
weighted as it was with the stones.
But the following August saw it bob
up serenely from below-minus its load
of stones.
At another time an effort was made
to keep it on the surface, and it was
chained to the surrounding country
with heavy log chains. When its
time for departure came it departed.
and the log chains departed with it.
The log chains were never recovered
The island is composed of soft mud
and rushes, and there are some skep-
teal souls who attribute its formation
and appearance and disappearance to
the gathering Of vegetation in one spot
by the currents of the lake and its sub
sequent decay.-Boston Herald.
