Let Uncle Try for Another,

The little Bratenahl boy visited his uncle, who lives away out in the coun- try. Uncle is devout man; a pillar of the church and breeder of fine horses. And upon a certain pretty colt did our little friend cast his eye with admiration and covetousness.
 Uncle Samuel he said, will you please give me that colt?'
 Why, no, Harold" answered the uncle. ""I can't give you that colt. Do you want colt very badly?"
 I'd rather have colt than any thing else in the world."
 Well. if you want a colt that much you ought to pray for it. When I want a thing very badly, pray for it and it comes to me"
 Honest, uncle? We'll, I'll tell ye,, you give me this colt, and then you pray for another one."

Tom Phinney Returns.

During this ride it occurred to Van
Vechten that he had seen nothing OF
Tom Phinney since he had sent him
away ~brusquely the day before. He
wondered not a little at his friends
prolonged absence, hoped that Tom
was not huffy, and finally concluded
that he had tired of waiting upon an
uncertainty and had gone off upon
some jaunt of his own.
The Man of Iron hardened attentive
ly to what Rudolph had to say, but If
he narration prompted any misgivings
he showed them not at all. He consid-
cred a moment, after the younger man
had finished, then said:
"One m might drop from sight

probable to believe that both Paige
and Josephine could have been made

the shore. Both merit a stern rebuke,

hatch out into a whole flying regiment

The shy and unobtrusive mosquito
is making the best use Of her time
for the same purpose. When the open
season on human beings arrives she
hopes to have a whole army corps OF
her progeny to lead to the attack.
Now is the time to get busy II We
want to preserve ourselves from the
pests a few months hence. The swat

important household implements at

His friend stared at him blankly.

he exclaimed.
ITO be sure. And what has hap
pened to my cousin? Those are two
questions that | am extremely anx-
ious to have answered as soon as pos
sible; questions that must be an

your promise to the unidentified young
lady has tied our hands at a vital mo-
ment?
You said that the girl who conduct
ed you from the Rocky Cove house, in

-soon-under some strange condi-
tons. Have you any idea what she
meant?"
Not the least. replied Tom; only

that"
After much more consideration of
the difficulties confronting them, Van
Yechten offered the following pro.
posal;
Although you are bound not to

not under any such restraint. There
is no reason why Flint and | should

Rudy, I can't stand for it," Tom
quietly, but none the less firmly, OBJ
jected.
Look here, Tom" Van Vechten all
at onCe grew very grave, and there
was a new tone in his voice that
caught Toms attention. Il am as In
terested in one of those girls as you
are in the other. Perhaps"-hesitant-
1--WE are both interested in the
same one"
This was the most astonishing dis
closure that Tom had yet heard.
"You?" he almost shouted his
amazement.
Van Vechten nodded. 81 saw her in
the crowd at the alley, Sunday, and
again at a window across the street
while we were returning here. Wheth-
er she is the girl in the dark or Jessie,
| do not know; but"
Describe her." Tom eagerly inter
rupted.
She is slender, her hair and eyes
are dark. She is very beautiful"
But Tom was emphatiCally shaking
his head. "That-except for the beau,
tiful part of it-could not be the girl
who came to me in the dark. l don't
know why l know it, but l do. But
go on with what you started to say"
Il was going to say hat l am con,
fident of this girls innocence of any
wrongdoing, or even a suspicion OF
wrongdoing. Such being the case, no
harm can befall either of them from

It's the sandy-haired chap that

handspring of the whole affair, and in,
dubitably Flint thinks SO too. F1int's

more every time we talk. | believe he
is thoroughly dependable.
AT any rate if that hulking bruiser
knows anything about Paige, he must
be made to tell 1t; Flint can do what
eve he pleases with regard to thu

Their talk wandered far into the
realm of speculation. carrying then
over the luncheon hour and back Il
their seats in the lounge. 1t was profit
less. and the entry of a messengei

Vechten came as a welcome diversion
although anticipation lent the inci

Many are the curious methods adopted for curing snake bites. but surely none can be more So than way of which our Bhavagar correspondent informs us. Two natives in village near that station were. he says. brought back to life after being bitten by a cobra. s <f
 The victims were seated on the ground and there held. while from a height of sixteen feet gallons of hot water were poured on their heads. Presently, according to the correspond ent, the victims "took new lease of life." and are as we'll as though they had never been in the jaws of death at all
 The explanati tion to this cure prob ably is that the snake. as often hap pens, bit it's victims. but injected no poison into them. Thus the men were merely terrified and continued to he frightened until the pain caused by the douche of hot water gave them some thing else to think about.-Civil and Military Gazette. PVT
