valuable observations and notes will
be made of the behavior of the in

generally and the dogs. The dogs
which will be used on the real expedi-
ton have been especially bred in
Northern Canada for the purpose, and
it is thought that they will prove
more satisfactory than the animals
which have been heretofore used on
expeditions of this character. They
are a cross between a wolf and a
Scotch greyhound and weigh about
twice as much as the dogs generally
used.

SabiIlasviIIe, Md.-There is a ton
and a half of the Wills family, living
in the country near this village, split
into II active portions. OF these, the
father and the oldest is Theodore
Colvin Wills, age sixty-four, who
weighs 220 pounds, and the youngest
is Mcdonald Wills, his son, who, al
though only seven years old, weighs
100 pounds.
Many Of the sons, however, are very
much heavier. Bruce Wills. fifteen
years old, weighs 230 pounds and
stands six feet four inches in his
stocking feet There are eight sons
and seven daughters who are all
giants.
Neighbors point with pride TO the
fact that there Is not an ounce Of
superfuous flesh in the whole ton

other words, had here triangle, one
angle of which measured So degrees,
and the base line, as 1 surmised, about
1,500 yards-that is to say, the dis

Jones cabin. The two other sides, Of
course, represented the ascending and
the descending lines of the bullets

The rife, deduced from this,
must have been sighted to 1,150 yards.
Three hundred yards from Jones
cabin there was small dry water
course in which a man might easily
lie concealed and have a clear line
of sight upon the front porch Of the
Bright house. II my surmises were
correct, Jones had lain here and from
this spot had fred the fatal shot.
The district attorney consented to
take walk of inspection with me. 1

over the group : on the way l told
him of my thee He rediculed the

and the sound of a shot. They ran
out of the house and saw their mas
ter lying dead with a bullet wound
through his head. Some fifty yards
away stood Howard, a rife in hia
hands. He made no resistance and
was arrested and duly committed for
trial
Some said the rife was still hot,
but others denied this, and anyway
the case seemed so clear that this
question did not figure for much.
There might have been time for the
barrel to cool after the discharge.
What was obvious was that Howard,
having apparently learned that his
father intended to sign will disin-
heriting him, had crept up to the house
and murdered him.
LAS I said, gentlemen, it was Lorna
Bright who insisted that I undertake
her cousins defense. She had been
IN the house at the time of the muir
der and had known no more than the
servants; yet she was confident that
her cousin was guiltless.
Towards story was that he had
come home on Thanksgiving eve, to
seek a reconciliation; that he had
brought an old rifle he had taken
away, with view of joining his father
duck shooting on the Potomac, a sport
to which the old man was very partial,
and in which he always used a rifle.
AS you know, duck shooting with
rifles is the supreme test of marks
manship. When he was within fifty
yards of the house, however, he heard
a rife discharged in the distance and
saw his father, who had been stand
ing near the door, fall forward dead.
Il was convinced of the young
mans innocence by my first interview
with him. lawyer has little diff
fculty in discovering whether or not
his client is 'guilty, and Howard s
quiet protestations, joined to Lorna's
pleas, set me to racking my brains
to discover the real murderer. OF
course 1 assumed that Jones was the
guilty man. Jones was at this time
living In a cabin about fifteen hundred
yards from the sight of old Bright S
house. He was known as good shot
it was barely possible that he had Ia
ken advantage OF Howard's arrival to
pay OF old scores and throw the onus
OF guilt upon an innocent man
Yet there seemed no way in which
Jones could be trapped. He had nc
rifle, so far as anyone was aware, and
If he had had, it would have been i'm

the bullet, which had torn a Jagged
hole through the skull and passed Out

Poor AUGUSTINE.

Militancy never showed itself to a
less considerable mood than when it
heaved a dead cat at Augustine Biz
rell, secretary for Ireland. No one in
the British cabinet is more careful OF
and grateful to the amenities of life
than the Hon. M. Birrell, and we
know he particularly shrinks from
dead cats as hideous, however much
he might admire a handsome Persian
on the hearthrug.
The wild ladies Of England have
saddened his life enough as it is. One
Of his former experiences was to be
kicked in the shin. We know that
Mr. Birren particularly dislikes this
form of assault, even as he dislikes
having his hat crushed down over his
face, which, we believe, was another
outrage to which he was subjected.
We regard Mr.. BirreH as a gentle
man who infinitely would prefer tC
have the house of parliament burned
over his head than to accept such af
fronts to his personal dignity, and il
is his fate that no militant ever does
him a dignifed damage, but always
puts him to an annoying slight--Chi
