Animal Etiquette.

No one who is at all Observant OF
the ways OF animals Can have failed
to notice how gentle large dogs, like
the st. Bernard and the Great Dame,
are to their smaller canine fellows. 1t
Is rare that a big dog turns upou one
OF the little fellows. no matter how
aggravating and snappy the latter may
be. Instead, he invariably treats the
small dogs antics with unruffled and
dignified tolerance. For there is
recognized code Of etiquette among
animals, II you please, quite as much
as there IS among human beings. In
truth, there are not few respects In
which the animals can give points Ou
pOliteness and good behavior to man
himself.

her name, rose from her couch in an
upper room in the Hardin cottage
with an agility that gave no hint OF a
disabled ankle
At last she spied knot in one Of
the floor boards She procured nail
file from her handbag and within a
few moments had removed the knot
from its containing hole. Then she
treated herself to a view of the room
below.
She perceived that a celebration
was in progress, Upon the table was
a birthday cake with eighteen candles
in it. and about the table were four
people. Annette, the center of attrac-
ton; Neal and his mother and his
foster brother, Joe Welcher.
Mrs. Hardin stepped to cupboard
and drew forth paper bundle. She
placed 1t on the table and by the light
of the eighteen candles she unwrapped
1t, exhibiting to Annette Ilington and
to the boys a set Of childish garments,
a heavy leather bag, that clinked as
she laid it down. and mysterious
looking yellow packet, sealed with red
sealing wax. She unpinned from a
diminutive dress piece OF paper

The shot was the indirect result OF
the raid upon the gangsters of the

For an hour at least a government

waiting for the signal arranged as
