through her veins in new volume, and
she labored feverishly to release the
other hand. At last she undid knot
with her teeth, and slipped the
blanket from her, beating her hands
together to restore circulation. Her
right leg still was too numb to stand
upon, but she crept forward, dragging
it helplessly behind her over the snow,
to where Hamlin lay.
The girls heart seemed to stop
beating as she looked at him-at the
white, colorless face. the closed eyes,

She had forgotten everything except
that helpless figure lying before her
on the snow-her own danger, the sur

accentuating that wilderness tragedy.
With bare hands she bathed his face
in snow, rubbing the flesh until it
flushed red, pressing her own warm
body against his, her lips speaking his
name again and again. almost hys-

call him back to consciousness. Her
exploring fingers told her that 1t was
no serious wound which had creased

other he would surely revive, and the
discovery sent her blood throbbing
through her veins. She lifted his head
to her lap, chatting his cold wrists

players.
The game Friday afternoon was an
other exhibition of fast ball and until
the first half of the ninth inning it
was nip and tuck between the two
teams. Denison played much better
ball than the previous day and the
boys did not seem to be troubled with
stage fright as they were the day be-
FORE Kulberg pitched the game for
Denison and his work was exception
ally good and if he had had the sup
port of the infield it would have been
victory for Denison. A few costly
errors gave the visitors the game.
The locals run in two scores in the
second half of the second inning and
held the visitors down until the sixth
inning when they evened up the score,
but the balloon went up in the first
half of the ninth and Missouri Valley
counted three additional scores, max
ing the final score 5 to in their
favor.
Missouri Valleys first two batters
were put out in this inning, but Wolf
landed on one of Kulberg's fast balls
for a three base hit Kulberg gave
Pierce base on balls, thinking that
the next batter would not be so dan

Public Meat Rooster.

In many Of the well traversed
streets of upper New York city there
are being established cook shops of
the French kind The business is not
only one of supplying hot roasted meats
to customers in the little restaurant
that is part Of the shops plant, but
also of roasting meats for persons in
the neighborhood who may have a de-
sire to eat meat cooked in the best,
as it is one of the Oldest ways known
to man-on a revolving "jack" before
an open fire. 1t is no place for hun
cry man to stand-before the plate
glass window of the "roast shop" The
windows disclose tall grill made in
the foreign fashion of blue and white
tiles, in which bright, hard coal fire
burns all day long. In front of this
grill is arranged a Jack" with two
arms, consisting of long steel skewers
that are pierced through the meat and
by a mechanical arrangement the
Jack" is kept constantly revolving
until the meats on it are thoroughly
done. 1t is most appetizing sight
to see the 'jacks" laden with chick
ems and meats, and it tempts one to
go in and have slice which may be
had for Is cents. The sign also makes
it clear that meats furnished by pa
irons will be roasted for five cents a
pound.

Followed a Good Example.

Ex-President Porfirio Diaz gained
national prominence and won his
spurs at the battle of Puebla, where
the Liberal forces made gallant but
Intellectual stand against the French
who had invaded Mexico for the pur-
pose of erecting a throne for Maxi
milan. Notwithstanding the fact that
the Mexican forces were defeated,
their defense against superior num-
bers was so gallant that the anniver-
sary of the battle of the fifth of May
became a national holiday in Mexico.
A brusque American once asked the
president: 'Why do you Mexicans
celebrate a defeat, when you know
that the French finally took Puebla?"
President Diaz, with twinkle in his
eye, replied: perhaps we have imi-
tated the Americans even to the ex-
tent of celebrating our defeats, for
have been told that the British de-
feated the Colonists at Bunker Hill,
and yet you built monument to com
memorate the event"
