Rabbits stared at them from the un-

with frightened cries at the strange
beast padding SO patiently through

bearing down upon him, chung franti-
cally to his seat as the bulk passed
him and then had his attention divert

to run all the way to Little River,
scattering milk cans and spllling white
fluid all along the road.
Happily the circus grounds were on
the edge of Sandville. and Captain Tut
tie and his bride could ride trium-
phantly into the wide field without en-
countering any more vehicles. Circus
folk are early risers. and so when An
MES familiar form appeared among the
gray tents she was greeted with cries
of joy.
When her former owners saw the
pair sitting on the seat above Annie's
ragged ears they burst into a hearty
cheer and the band brayed forth a stir
ring welcome.
Annie essayed a few waltz steps and
was only prevented from standing on
her hind legs and going through her
entire repertoire by the ringmaster,
who in a few sharp commands brought
her to her knees.
Captain futile dismounted with
what dignity he could muster, and
Heppy. fiustered at being the center of
SO much interest. fell into his arms.
"Your wife must have enjoyed the
ride" said the ringmaster as Captain
futile waived all ownership In Annie
and shook hands with him.
The captain winked solemnly at the
blushing Heppy Tewks.
Mrs. Captain Perley Tuttle's got a

The ~ringmaster insisted upon their

of the Methodist minister in Sand

roads by an odd assortment of good
friends.
On the porch of the parsonage Heppy
pulled at the captains coat sleeve. He
looked down into her rosy face. alight
with a dozen conflicting emotions.
"Perley,' she said. Il don't believe
any one aver had a queerer wedding
than we've had-riding on an elephant
to get married. eating the wedding
breakfast in a circus tent and getting
married afterward"
"And that amt a patch on what the
bandmaster wanted me to do" CON
ided the captain hurriedly, for they
heard the minister's footsteps in the
hall. "He wanted to take us to Little
River in the band ~wagon-said he'd
play a wedding march if we wanted
him to! How'd he guess we want
married?"

PECULIAR BURGLARS
BREAK into HOUSE
LEAVE TWIN BABIES

FRANKLIN, Pa, June 1S.-Isaac
Mccormick, a section foreman, and
his wife were awakened at 8 o'clock
in the morning by the crying OF
baby. The wife OCT out of bed and
walked downstairs to the front porch
to see where the sounds came from,
but when she heard nothing further
she returned to bed.
The crying continued, and Mrs.
Mccormick concluded that it was a
neighbours child she heard.
When Mr.. Mccormick arose at 6
o'clock and went downstairs he heard
a child crying in the parlor. He in
vestigated and found a basket con-
tanning two children, apparently 3
weeks old, and probably twins. They
were richly dressed, the clothing they
wore and other articles in the basket
being handmade. In the basket was
the following note written in lead
pencil:
"Take me in and use me well, for l
hain't got no place to dwell. will be
a comfort to you. Feed me oatmeal
cruel and sugar and milk"
1t developed that whoever left the
children in the house had broken in
by forcing open window and carried
them to the other side of the room,
closing the window upon leaving. The
children are thought to have been left
at the house by a woman who arrived
on a train from Pittsburgh.

LIVERPOOL MAY LOSE
TRAFFIC OF NATION
(By Associated Press.)

MANCHESTER, England, June 49,
Owing to pressure to secure discharg
ing facilities at Liverpool, several
cotton firms have been approached by
owners of shipping arriving in Liver
pool to divert their boats to Manches :
ter. A trial was made last week with
the Norman Monarch from New
Orleans with 1893 bales for Liverpool
and 4,773 bales for Manchester, the
steamer coming up the canal direct
and discharging the whole of the
cargo here. Liverpool authorities
now fear this arrangement will be so
advantageous that other shippers will
follow suit and use Manchester more
freely thereby reducing Liverpool
income from dock dues, wharfage and
ship stores.
