Mahaffy and the colonel stood fac

pale but logged; he eyed Fentress
unflinchingly. Quick on the word Fen

pistol expioded; apparently neither

maintclned the rigid attitude they had
assumed; then Mahafy was seen to

from his fingers, look of astonish

vacant and staring while his right
hand stole up toward his heart; he
raised 1t slowly, with difficulty. an

A hush spread across the field. It
was like one OF natures Invisible
transitions. Along the edge OF the
woods the song Of birds was stricken
into silence. Ware. heavy-eyed-Fen-
tress, his lips twisted by tortured
smile. watched Mahaffy as he painted
for breath, with his hand clenched
against his breast. That dead, oppres-

from out of it came a cry that smote
on the wounded mans ears and
reached his consciousness.

bathed In blood, and he pitched for

Ware and Fentress had heard the
cry too, and running to their horses
threw themselves into the saddle and
galloped on. The judge midway OF
the meadow roared out furious pro-

to the nignroad and vanished from

bore him swiftly In the direction OF

BUCK BREAKS NECK
AT ZOO PURSUING
FROLICSOME MATE

The beautiful little Virginia doe in the
Grant park deer run has sadder eyes than
ever today This morning the fine big
buck broke his neck. And as Mother Eve
caused the downfall of Adam, 80 Vir-
ginia had tempted her mate to his death.
The deer in the park have fine run,
inclosed by wire fence. But the range
was not wide enough for the wistful
doe She decided one day to jump
through the fence and explore tho hills
The first effort proved so easy that 1t
became a habit with her The buck
was not so bold. but stood on the inside
with longing in his eye as he watched
her scamper away through the woods.
The air was so fine this morning that
he was more reckless. The doe jumped
at a hole in the fence and the wire was
so weak that 1t gave way, and she was
free The buck ran toward the opening
to follow.
He was all through but his spreading
antlers. They caught in the wire above.
and, swapping back his head, broke his
neck.
The only consolation Dan Carey, the
manager Of parks, has, is the fine veni-
son, for the buck is fat and sleek.

that the department specifically de-
clines to assume any responsibility for
the activity of either within the state.

street school. Her story follows:
Last Friday at big recess the
boys were in the road playing foot
ball. In the midst Of it all some
one yelled. Look out" and every
body turned to look. Coming up
the street as hard as it could go
was horse. He had something
dragging behind him that looked
like a piece of shaft torn from the
wagon which he was drawing.
One boy not seeing the cause Of
the excitement was almost run over
by the horse.
Sons Of the children were badly
frightened, but soon forgot their
fright in the enjoyment of their
playtime.
There are two other contributions
that deserve to be printed The first
by Pauline Cowart, Of 81 North Jack
son street. follows:

clean, nice and refined paper. 1t
carries all of the news.

The other is by Lois Werner, Of Ak
