gave up tho monoy and koys without
n protest, but plondcd for tho whls

getting It. It was carelessly tossod

happened to soo It aud askod for It as
a curiosity. Tho roqucJt was readily
granted, for wllh tho colonol tho old
hero of Osawatomlo was naught but a
vagabond tllllbusteror, and tho only
commnnl ho mndo was:
Take It If you want It, 1 only
wonder why I kept tho d thing so
long ns I havo." Thus tho relic camo

Its form is best described. Bays tho

long-tailed tadpole that had grown a

What corresponds to tho tall Is u slen

low bulb at tho end giving a thin yet
mellow bound of peculiar timbto that
Is very ponotrating.
Residents of tho Ferry said, after
tho capture, that for weeks boforo
they had heard that whlstlo sound at
night without knowing its meaning.
