W VALE an hour after dinner the
80 other evening Mr.. Bowser had
an errand at the drug store,
and on returning he said to
Mrs. Bowser:
AT the gate as was coming in
met n big dog, and l declare If he
didn't look up at me in such an APP
pealing way that almost took him
for an unfortunate man."
Some dog lost probably" was the
reply.
But why did he look at me in such
an appealing wayT"
"He may have expected you to find
his home for him."
Yes, he might, or-or"--
Mr.. Bowser didn't finish, but fell
into train Of thought lasting for five
minutes. Then he walked down the
hall and opened the door and looked
out. Then he tiptoed back to the sit
ting room and whispered:
Hes right out there yet, and he's
watching the house"
well. what OF itf" queried Mrs.
Bowser.
"See here, woman, there's something
in this. l was only one of a hundred
persons passing to and fro, and yet
that dog came and appealed to me.
Why? He sits by our gate instead Of
going away. Why? He's looking at
the front door as II expecting me out
any minute. Why"
How can tell what dog thinksT
But this dog l tell you there's
something mighty queer in the affair.

HowLs BY THE DOG.

Yes, sir, think I've got the keynote
to it, Mrs. Bowser, you know | be-
lieve in the theory Of transmigration."
And lots of other things just as
foolish"
you can't prove them So Here is
a strange dog that was waiting at our
gate for me. He welcomes me. He
looks me in the face. He appeals to
me. Has the soul OF some person l
have known in the past entered into
his body?"
NONSENSE
Does he know that my name is
Bowser?"
"Twaddle!"
rs he homeless and hungry and
does he expect me to take him in?
wish you could have seen the appeal
in his eyes. Those eyes reminded me
Of the eyes of some man have known
in the past. Yes, they surely did"
'"Were they the eyes of the man who
got you to invest 5000 in a hair dyer
Ninety-nine times out of n hundred
Mr.. Bowser would have risen up at
such q remark as that and made the
states on the roof rattle with his Ian
guage, but on this occasion he quietly
replied:
lie came to me-to me of all others.
Hush ! think l hear him at the door
am going to take that dog In and be
good to him When / die, for any
thing we can tell to the contrary, my
soul may enter the body Of a dog.
Your soul may do the same thing"
81 want no vagrant dogs in here"
protested Mrs. Bowser "They are al
ways covered with feas. And who
can tell that they are not on the point
of hydrophobia2 Tell the cook to
throw him out a bone and let him go
away"
The Cur Let In.
"Turn an old friend away with a
bone!" he exclaimed. I'm not that
kind Of man. He shall find warm
heart here. I'll let him in at the base
ment door, and then--then I'll even try
to talk to him"
And Ill take the cat ana go up
stairs. When you and your old friend
have got through with your banquet
and your "reminiscences let me know
and I'll come down."
Mrs. Bowser disappeared upstairs
with the cat under her arm, and Mr..
Bowser descended to the basement
and opened the door and uttered a
whistle. The dog was at hand in an
instant. His size was about that Of a
yearling calf. and his breed might
have been anything. He was sham
bling and rambling and gaunt. He
entered the lower hall with a rush and
made two circuits OF the dining room
in five seconds. The cook was still at
her dishes. and she yelled out and fed
for the stairs.

value of these shares runs into mill

AN UNKNOWN RACE
Bones Discovered In Kansas Belong t<
Real Giants,

Bones Discovered In Kansas Belong to
Real Giants.
Junction City. Kan. Nov. 4.-Bones
believed to be those of hitherto un-
known rae gigantic in stature have
been unearthed on the T'rm oe John
Noland. near this city.
The bones were taken from a cairn
about thirty feet In diameter - five
feet high. Evidently they had been
buried originally in a rough stone
arched tomb. Sever" skulls of un-
usual size and distinctly unlike the
Uranium of an Indian in shape were
fourd, together with thigh bones much
longer thar the average human figure.
and a number Of huge teeth.
It was while levelling away the
cairn to make way for sowing wheat
that Noland came upon the walled-in
tomb. He had tho dirt removed from
the wall. He found it had supported
an arch Itch had caved in. filing
the interior of the tomb with soil.
Bones We're found only near the wall
where they had been protected by the
stones. No Indian weapons wre found,
which is believed to strengthen the
theory that the bones are those Of an
unknown race. One Of the skulls had
reen pierced evidently with strange
weapon.
The walls of the tomb were ten feet
thick and made of great unhewn
stories. The arched roof did not ex-
coed four .eet in height. A passage
three feet wide found to lead into
the room from the outside.
