FINE POINT ABOUT THE LAW
Somewhat Curious Problem Has Been
Raised by the Decision OF
q Learned judge.

Suppose you owned dog and q
neighbor asked the courts TO compel
you to keep it from barking and yelpl
In day and night interfering with
his business and causing him and his
family loss OF sleep. aud suppose tbc|
court handed down q decree roquirlnc
you to restrain your dog from bark
Ing. yclping and bowling, except ir
cases Of burglary CT fire" how would
you set about obcying I've order?
If ycu Ok It so The ors cannot barly

injunction that your r"f OF thcl
barking. yclrine and Eow''r shall cyj
tend only TO tiose Tor'-.s when thCr,l
IL no burglary or lre. For the order
expressly limits your right to restrain,
any barking. yelping and howlinti
aforesaid by those exceptions.
Must you sit up nights and look out,
for burglars and fires and be ready to,
remove your restraint OF the dogs
vocallzatiOn when either or both ap-,
pear?
Yes. you might get rid Of the dogs
OF course, but there Is nothing said'
about that. The law does not prohib,
Il you keeping the dog All It Is conf
cerned about is that you shall not al.
low the dog to become nuisance.
You have to place II under restraint,
But you can at least congratulate
yourself that, unlike the trusts. you.
do not have to worry about what con.
stitutes reasonable restraint becausei
there's not a word about reasonable,
ness In the law. All you have to do
is to restrain the animal from bark.

TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING
Duck Raiser Found Pepsln Of ConsId.
erabIe Value, But He Has Dis
continued Its Use.

Refusing to eat any kind OF food
offered to them, Charles Koch OF Port
Chester, N. Y, concluded that his
flock OF one dozen ducks had ~ form
OF dyspepsia and decided to doctor
them himself. His method was not
entirely original, for he procured pep.
sin tablets and, dissolving them In
water, he contrived to get the fluid
down their throats with the aid OF a
metal tube. Releasing them one by
one he sat down In the house to see
what happened.
Almost magical effects were noted,
Instead Of declining their usual pro!
vender. they ate 1t with avidity and
came back for more. Scraps from the
family dinner table also disappeared
In similar manner. Delighted with
the success OF his experiment Koch
administered additional doses OF fluid
pepsin. Ducks eggs were one result.
Hut now the entire flock seems to-
be always hungry. That has its disa.
greeaa'e features. Seven o'clock in
the morning is the customary feeding
time for the ducks, but it is different
now. The ducks know where Koch
sleeps, and they assemble under his
bedroom window ard Quack In chorus
before five o'clock. keeping up the
din until he throws some food to
them, Two hours or so later they re-
sumo their clamor So /, goes all daY.
Koch Is getting eggs. but he is losing
sleep.
Take it from me-" he says, II have
stopped the pepsin."

CHAPTER xxxl.
The Siege of La Rochelle.

The Siege of La Rochelle. "VHE siege of La Rochelle was
 one of the great political
 ! events of the reign of Louis
 XIII. and one of the great military enterprises of the cardinal.
 Of the important cities given up by Henry ". to the Huguenots as places of safety there only remained La Ro- cheile. It became necessary, there fore, to destroy this last bulwark of Calvinism.
 Rfchelieu, as every one knows, had been in love with the queen.. But Buck ingham, who tried to aid La Rochelle, had had the advantage over him and in two or three circumstances, particu- larly that of the diamond studs.
 It was, then, Richelieu's object not only to get rid of an enemy of France, but to avenge himself of a rival
 Richelieu knew that while combating England he was combating Bucking ham, that when triumphing oyer Eng land he triumphed over Buckingham, in short that in humiliating England in the eyes of Europe he humiliated Buckingham in the eyes of the queen. The first advantage had been gained by Buckingham. Arriving unexpect- edly in sight of the Isle of Re, with ninety vessels and nearly 10000 men,

 | They arrived thus, screened by the lining of the trench, till they came within hundred paces of the bastion. There, on turning round, D'Artagnan perceived that the two soldiers had disappeared. He thought that, begin ming to be afraid, they had stayed be hind. ..f.y
 At the turning of the counterscarp they found themselves within about sixty paces of the bastion. They saw no one, and the bastion seemed aban- doned, but all at once circle of smoke enveloped the giant of stone; and' a dozen balls come whistling round DArtagnan and his companions.
 They knew all they wished to know. The bastion was guarded. A longer stay in. this dangerous spot would have been useless imprudence.
 On arriving at the angle of the trench which was to serve them as a rampant one of the guards fell. A ball passed through his breast. The other, who was safe and sound. continued his way toward the camp.
 D'Artagnan was not willing to aban don his companion thus and stopped down to raise him and assist him in regaining the 1tnes. But at this mo ment two shots were fired. One ball hit the head of the already wounded guard, and the other was fiattened against a rock after having passed within two inches of D'Artagnan-
 The young man turned quickly around, for this attack. could not come from the bastion, which was masked by the angle of the trench. The ides of the two soldiers who had abdndon ed him occurred to his mind and with them that of the assassins of two evenings before. He resolved then this Sime to know what he had tc trust to and fell upon the body of hii comrade as if he had been dead.
 He quickly saw two heads appear above an abandoned work within thir. ty paces of him. They were the heads of the two soldiers
 When they were within ten paces o1 him D'Artagnan sprang up close to them.

 well. wellr' said the cardinal, "I don't wish you any i'll, but you must be aware that 1t Is quite trouble enough to defend and reward our friends. We owe nothing to our enc mics; and let me give you . piece of advice:' Take good care of yourself, M. d'Artagnan, for from the moment Iwithdraw I my hand from you would not give a penny for your life"
 "I shall entertain whatever may happen" said DArtagnan, placing his hand upon his breast and Lowing, ian eternal gratitude toward your emi- hence for that which you have done for me-"
 Well, let 1t be then, as you have said, M. 6Artagnan, we shall see each other again after the campaign. will have my eye upon you, for shall be there, and on our return, well-we will settle our Accountr'

 .'sYonnxs man, said Richelieu, If I am able to say to you again once more what have said to you today, I prom ise you to do SO"
 his heart almost failed him and he felt inclined to return. But the.noble and severe countenapce of Athos cross cd his mind. If he made the compact with the cardinal, which was required. Athos would no more give him his hand, Athos would renounce him.
 The whole of the next day was spent in preparations for departure and the night in farewells.
 At the first sound of the morning trumpet the friends separated, the musketeers hastening to the hotel of M. de Trevtlle, the guards to that of M. Dessessart. Each of the captains then led his company to the Louvre, where the king passed them in review.
 The king was dull and appeared i'll, which took off Nttae from his usual lofty carriage. In fact, the evening before, fever had seized him in the midst of the parliament while he was holding his bed of justice. He had, not the less, decided upon setting out that same evening.
 The review over, the guards set for ward alone on their march, the mus keteers waiting for the king. Aramis wrote long letter. To whom no body knew. Kitty. who was to set out that evening for Tours, was wait ing ir the next chamber.
 DArtagnan deflled with his compa- ny. On arriving at the Faubourg St. Antoine he turned around to look gay ly at the Bastille. But as it was the Bastille alone he looked at he did not observe milady, who, mounted upon a light chestnut horse, pointed him out with her finger to two i'll looking men, who came close up to the ranks to take notice o< him. To a look of in- terregation which they made milady replied by a sign. that that was the person. Then, certain that there could be no mistake in the execution of her orders, she turned her horse and dis appeared.
 The two men followed the company and at leaving the Faubourg St. An toine mounted two horses.
