that path? The bushes rustled a lit
tie more and little louder. Whoever
1t was must be big! Johnny didn't
know whether to dodge back into his
house or to sit right where he was.
He decided he could afford to ait right
where he was. Between where he sat
and that path down which some one
was coming the bushes were quite
high. Johnny tried to peep under
them. Presently he made out some
black things moving. There were four
Of them. Johnny caught his breath.
He knew they were feet. but he didn't
believe there were any feet as big as
those in all the Great World. His eyes
popped out Of his head. That is. they
looked as IL they were popping out
He held his breath. Suddenly two of
those feet disappeared, and then a
great black paw rose up above the
tops Of the bushes and there was a
mighty ''Woof! Woof.'

turned a back somersa ult in his hurry
to get into the house. He had had
many scares In his life. but none like
this. Not until ne got clear to the

What TomorrowMeans to You
By MARY BLAKE.
Gemini.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
favorable until the early afternoon.
They then become adverse and liable
to create undesired emotions. do all
that thou hast to do" in the morning,
as there will be sensed feeling or ex-
hilaration and an urge to work--a COM
bination that is always productive or
success. Marriages solemniZed before
or Immediately after noon will lead to
enduring happiness and the signs de-
note that they will be free from fric-
ton In the afternoon relaxation
should be sought, as nervousness ana
restlessness will be felt, and this is a
state of mind in which nothing Of an
important character should be at
tempted. 1t Is a good opportunity for
outdoor sports and recreations.
Children born tomorrow are destined
to suffer from one or more serious ILL
nesses during the period of infancy
and the gravity or lightness Of these
attacks. and the manner of recovery.
will depend very much on the nutri-
ton they receive as well as the en-
vironmeht. Their dispositions will. at
first. be peevish, but they promise to
learn that discomfort gets them no.
where and the signs indicate that In
later life they will be cheerful and
good d-natured. They will display a
cheerful anxiety to do we'll in their
studies and will be rather inclined to
neglect outdoor forms Of amusement
They, although not serious, will take
a serious view of life and its responsi-
bilities.
IL tomorrow is your birthday. you
are very genial. although at times,
somewhat dominating. You generally
know what you want and make every
effort to get 1t. You are not unscru-
pulous in your methods. On the other
hand, YOU have little regard for the
imagine. stand in the way Of your
own accomplishment. When YOU form
friendship. 1t is, so far as you are
concerned, "for keeps" In the same
manner your love is loyal and sincere.
You are a. great ''confessor' and all
your friends bring their troubles and
difficulties to you. knowing that you
will. keep their secrets and believing
that you will be able to show them a
way out.
You possess a strong sense of JUS
tice and, mentally, often condemn
yourself for things that you do and
which your finer sensibilities tell you
are not according to Hoyle."

date are: James j. Mapes. agricul-
tural chemist Thomas A. Emmet.

$50 YEARS AGO TODAY
BY JONATHAN A. RAWSON, JR.
Story Of the u. S. A.

II the British armies should follow
up their present advantages and drive
the Continental Army not only out of
Canada. but even southwark to Lake
George. there Is little doubt as to what
the Indians Of that section would do.
They would bodily join the British
armies. This being only too well un-
derstood here, 1t is foregone conclu-
sion that the comma nder-in-chief will
he authorized to employ Indians in the
Continental Army upon such terms as
he shall think most beneficial.
One proposition Is that the savages
be engaged to undertake the reduction
Of the British posts al Niagara AAd
Detroit. This would keep them busy
in sections where they could fight In
their own way and perhaps against
people Of their own kind. AS an in
ducement to undertake the Niagara
and Detroit expeditions. Congress may
offer to pay them so pounds for every
British soldier whom they capture and
bring to the headquarters of the In
dian commissioners.
Army officers and Congressman alike
shrink from the idea of using the sav.
ages in the campaigns in the East.
The present policy Is to keep them
from uniting with the Kings armies
for operations in the settled sections
Of the frontier.

Indians May Be Sent West.

PHILADELPHIA. May 2S, 1776.-
A general speeding-up Of plans for the
coming campaigns on land and sea
has already resulted from the confer
ences which have been held daily be
tween Gen. Washington and the con-
gressional committees since the gen
erals arrival from New York. A COM
mittee Of IA members has been ap-
pointed to confer with him in order to
concert q definite plan of military op-
erations for the ensuing campaign.
Gems Gates and Miff1in are also shar-
ing in the deliberations.
Although the proceedings of the con-
ferences are carefully guarded against
disclosure to the public. the character
of the problems before the general and
the Congressman is well known. First.
there is the Canadian situation, with
which the Indian problem Is closely
interlocked. as has already been point
ed out in these dispatches. 1t is now
hoped that the withdrawal from Can
ada which has been in progress since
May may be checked and deter
mind stand made at Dechambeau and
on the islands in the st. Lawrence at
the mouth of the Sorel. Unless these
points can be strongly fortified and
held. there will be nothing to prevent
the advance of the enemy to Crown
Point and Ticonderoga.
