the easiest thing in the world for a
cumbersome creature like a COW to
remain in that position.
Diamond will at command raise her
head until It is level with her master s
face when he is standing and kiss
him. She also permits LYDIA to ride
her about the fields. II is doubtless
true. as Mr.. Thompson says. that this
COW might have been trained to do
things worthy OF circus performer.
She seems to be willing to do any
thing asked OF her.

CORK LEG CAUSES ARREST
Woman Says Husband Had Concealed
His Possession of Two
Artificial Limbs.

Portland Ore.-Miss Eva Zelmer

lost both legs when she married him.
This Is one Of the reasons given by
the young woman for readily consent

man, who is charged with bigamy
In addition to the Portland wife he
admits he has wife and child in
Portland. Ne.
It appears Chamberlain told Miss
Zelmer he had one cork leg. but did
not say anything about the other.
When she learned that both legs were
artificial the first quarrel occurred.
Chamberlain was released on $3.50
cash bail. The money was the same
which Chamberlain had raised a few
days before to get the release Of Miss
Zelmer, who had been held in that
amount as material witness.

Deaths by Lightning.

Most people imagine that the mum

each year is very great. This impress
sion, according to the secretary OF
the Royal Meteorological society. In
knowledge, is far from being correct.
Statistics show that during the ten
years 1901-1910 the registrar-general
reported 124 fatal instances OF light

average OF only 12.4 deaths, or 0.36

crossed the Seine, and then proceed
ed through a mean region of little
shops, while from time to time the
pealing of the city clocks indicated
the swift passage of the hours. It
was nearly two before he stood at
last in front of the old chateau in
which the prince was harbored.
He knew his room! 1t had been
indicated in many a diagram and plan
in many a newspaper. 1t overlooked
the avenue, and now Paul, standing
directly under it, perceived that there
was a light in the princes window.
And. as he looked up, straining his
eyes to catch clearer glimpse OF the
figure behind the curtain, suddenly
the window was thrown wide open
and the youthful figure of the prince
looked out.
It was Prince Edward, There was
no mistaking him! None could have
mistaken that characteristic figure,
that bright, English face, the profile
Il was the prince complete, even down
to the fashionable coat so often por-
trayed.

ached and his head was swimming:
his eyes were heavy from want OF
sleep. He needed all his strength TO

swiftly and say not one rash word.
Presently a fiacre ratified up and
halted in the middle of the nearby
carriage drive, and two men stepped
out of it. Almost Immediately it was
followed by another, which, hating in
the Identical spot. disgorged three
others. Through the bushes behind
which he lay concealed Paul could
see in the rapidly increasing light.
that the first two men were Manuel
and his second: the other three were
the supposed prince. his second. and
a man who carried a little black case
and was evidently a doctor.
The parties saluted formally. and
the man with the case stepped for

Manuels second. Then, being joined
by their parties, they stationed them
in chosen places. some fifteen PAGES
apart. And as the man with the case
opened It. Paul perceived to his hor-
ror that the case did not contain
surgical supplies.
It contained two pistols. This was
evidently to be a due! a Ioutrance.
And one OF the combatants would
fall killed. or perhaps MORALLY
wounded.
That the duel was to be a serious
one was evinced from the fact that
the combatants were set facing each
other. and not back to back, as is
commonly done in encounters when
only honor is sought. The principals
raised their pistols; the seconds took
