Fear Costs Rabbit Life.

In killing gray or other rabbits,
weasels often run them down, jump
upon their backs and infiict the death
wound by bite just back of the ear.
Sometimes hunters or others have
witnessed these tragedies, and have
taken the rabbit for their share-the
weasel being in some cases lucky to
get off with its life, says the American
Forestry Magazine. While the chase
is on the rabbit will often give up and,
squatting down, commence to squeal
in the most pitiful manner until it's
merciless hunter takes its life. OF
course, were the rabbit not so terri
fied-its heart nearly bursting with
fear for its Iife-it could easily escape,
for no weasel living could overtake a
rabbit on a stern chase run.

e home the little women lived with
o. Mrs. March, their brisk and CHEEKY
mother, who always had "can-I-heIp
you" look about her. and whom her
four girls lovingly called "MaImee."

and already showed domestic tastes
and talents, though she detested tho

was tall, thin and coltish, and glOried
in an unconccaled sccrn OF polite con-
ventiOns. Beth, thirteen, was a low
able little thing, shy, fond Of her dolls
and devoted to music. which she tried
hopefully to produce from tie old,
jingling tinpan of a piano. Amy.
twelve, considered herself the flower
of the family. An adorable blonde,
she admitted that the trial of her life
was her nose. For, when she was a
baby, 10 had accidentally dropped her
into the coal-hod and permanently
flattened that feature, and though poor
Amy slept with patent clothespin
pinching it, she couldn't attain tie
Grecian effect she so much desired.
Father March was an army chap
lain in the Civil war, and in his alb
sence 10 declared herself to be the
man of the family. To add to their
slender income, she went every day 70
read to Aunt March, penpery old
lady; and Meg, too, earned a small
salary as daily nursery governess to
q neighbours children.
In the big house next door to the
Marches lived rich old gentleman,
Mr.. Laurence, and his grandson, q
Jolly chummy boy called Laurie
Though awe-inspiring at first. Mr.
Laurence proved both kindly and gen.
erous, and even timid Beth mustered
up courage to go over TO the "Palaoe |
BeaJatiful'' at twilight and play softly |
on the grand piano there. But. as she
confessed to her mother, when she be-
gan she was SO frightened her feet |
