Ir Inn Mnclnren , Author of nc lrtr OIP Ilonnlc Ilrlcr Ilnnli. " I
( Copyrlsht by John Wntson. )
"Wo must have Trlxy Mnrsden on tlio
ThurBilay" for Mrs. Leslie \\a arranRlng
two alnner parties. "Sho will be In licr ele
ment that evening ! but what are we to do
with Mr. Marsdcn ? "
"Isn't It rather the custom to Invite a
husband with hla wire ? He might even ex
pect to be Included , " snld John Leslie. "Do
you know I'm glad we came to Putney !
spring Is lovely In the garden.
"Never mind spring Just now , " as Leslie
threatened to exit to the lawn , "you might
have some consideration for an afflicted
hostess and give your mind to the Marsden
problem. "
"It was Marsden brought spring Into my
mind , " and Leslie sat down with that ex
pression of resignation on his face peculiar
to husbands consulted on domestic affairs ;
"ho wan telling me this morning on the
train that he had just finished a Ubl * ot
trees In the order of their budding , a sorter
or spring priority list ; his love for statistics
Is amazing. "
"He Is getting to bo known on the 9
train ; the men keep their eye on him and
bolt Into thirds to escape ; he gave a morning
on the Influenza death rate lately , and that
kind of tiling spreads.
"But he's not a bad fellow , for all that. "
concluded LcMIe : "he's perfectly straight In
business , and that Is saytng something ; I
rather enjoy half an hour with him. "
"Very likely you do , " said his wife , with
Impatience , "becauBe your mind has a squint
and you get amusement out of odd people , but
every one has not your taste for thetiresome. .
Ho Is enough to devastate a dinner table.
Do you remember that escapade of Ms last
year ? "
"You mdan when ho corrected you
about the American passage and gave the
Killings Of the Atlantic liners since ' 80. " and
Leslie lay back to enjoy the past ; "It seemed
to me most Instructive , and every one gave
up conversation to listen. "
"Because no one could do anything else
with that voice booming through the room.
I can hear him : The Columbia , six days ,
four hours , flvo minutes. ' Then I rose and
delivered the table. "
"It was only .human to be a little nettled
by his accuracy ; but you ought not to have
retreated eo soon , for he gave the express
trains of England a little later , and hinted
at the American lines. One might almost
call such a memory genius. "
"Which Is often another name for Idiocy ;
someone was telling mo yesterday that
quiet , steady men rush out of the room
at the sound of his voice , and their wives
have to tell all sorts ot falsehoods.
"Trlxy Is one of my oldest and dearest
friends , and It would bea shame to pass
her over ; but T will not have her husband
on any account. "
"Perhaps you are right as a hostess ; It
Is a little hard for a frivolous circle to live
up to Marsdcn , and I lioar that he has getup
up the temperatures of the health resorts ;
It's a largo subject , and lends Itself to
detail. "
"It will not be given In this house. What
Trlxy must endure with that manl He's
simply possessed by a didactic devil , and
ought never to have married. Statistics
don't amount to cruelty , I suppose , as a
crnunrt nf
"Hardly as yet ; by-and-by Incompatibility
la politics or fiction will be admitted ; but
how do you know that Mrs. Marsden does
not appreciate her "husband ? You never
can tell what a woman sees In a "man.
Perhaps this woman hungers for statistics
ai a make-weight ? She Is very amusing
but a trifle shallow , don't you think-
"She used to be the brightest and most
charming girl In our set , and I have always
bolloved that fche was married to irMr.
Marsden by' her people. Trlxy lias fGOfl a
year settled on her , and they were afraid
of fortune-hunters. Mothers are apt to
feel that a girl Is safe with a man of the
Marsden type , and that nothing more can
be desired. "
"Perhaps they are not far wrong ; .
Marsdcn Is not a romantic figure , and he Is
scarcely what you would call a brilliant
raconteur ; but he serves his wtfo like a
slave , and he will never give her a sore
heart. "
"Do you think It nothing , John , that a
woman with Ideals should bo tied to a bore
all her days ? What a contrast between
her brother and her husband , for Instance.
Godfrey Is decidedly one of the most charm
ing men I ever met. "
"He has a nice tenor voice I grant , and his
drawing room comedies are very amusing.
Of course , no one believes a word he says ,
and I think that ho has never got a die-
charge from his last bankruptcy ; but you
can't expect perfection. Character seems to
oscillate between dullness and dishonesty , "
"Don't talk nonsense for the sakeof alliter
ation , John. Trlxy's brother was .never In
tended for business ; he ought to have been a
writer , and I know ho was aolied to join the
staff of the 'Boomefler' ; happy thought. Til
ask him to come with his s'ster Instead of
Mr. Marsden. "
And this was the note :
"My Dear Trixy : We are making up a
dinner party for the evening of June 2 , at 8
o'clock , and wo simply cannot go on without
you and Mr. Mareden. Write Instantly to
say you accept ; It Is an age slnre I've aeon
you , and my husband IB absolutely devoted
to Mr. Marsdcn. Ho was telling mo only a
mlnuto ago that one reason why he goes by
tlio 9 train Is to get the benefit of your hus
band's conversation. With much love. Yours
affectionately , "FLORENCE LESLIE.1"
"P , 8. It does seem a shame that Mr.
Marsdcn eUould have to waste an evening en
a set of stupid people , and If he can't tear
himself from his books , then you will take
homo a scolding to him from mo.
"P. S. If Mr. Marsden will not condescend ,

have a quiet talk-before the men arrive from
the dining room. I hope your husband IB
duly crateful to mo for allowing Mm off this
social ordeal , Except perhaps John , 1 don't
think there Is a person here fll to dlreuss
thltiRS with him. "
"Oh , Mr. Marsden does not care one rtraw
whether they know his subjects or not so
long as people \U1I listen to him , and I'm
euro ho was quite eager to come , but I
wanted Godfrey to have a little pleasure.
"I'm so sorry for-poor Godfrey , " and Mrs.
Marsden settled henelf down to confidences.
"You know he lost all his money two years
ago through no fault of hla own. It was
Imply the stupidity of his partner , who as
quite a common man and could not carry out
Godfrey's plans.
"My husband might have helped the firm
through their difficulty , but ho was quite ob
stinate , and very unkind also. Ho spoke an
If Godfrey had been careless and lazy , when
the poor fellow really Injured his health and
had to go to Brighton for two months to re
cruit. "
"Yes , I remember , " put In Mrs. Leslie :
"we happened to be at the Metropolitan one
week end , and Godfrey looked utterly jaded. "
"You have no Idea how much he suffered ,
Florrlc , and how beautifully he bore the
trial. Why4 had U not been for mo he
wculd not have had money to p-ay hU hotel
bill , r.nd that was a dreadful change for a
man llko him. Ho has always been very
proud , and much petted by people.
"The poor fellow has never been nblo to
Hnd a suitable post since , although ho spends
days In the city among his old friends , and
I can see how It Is telling on him. And
Klorrle , I wouldn't mention It to any ono ex
cept an old friend Mr. Marsdcn has not
made our house pleasant to poor Godfrey. "
"You don't meau that he reflects on bis
misfortunes. "
"Doesn't he ? It's simply disgusting what
ho will say at times. Only yesterday morn
ing this Is absolutely between you and me ,
one must have some confidant Godfrey made
some remark In fun about the cut of Tom's
coat ; he will not go , you know , do what I
like , to a proper tailor , "
"Godfrey Is certainly much better dressed , "
said Mrs. Leslie , "than either of our hus
band ? . "
"Perhaps It was that made Tom angry , but
at any rate he said quite shortly , 'I can't
afford to drew better , ' nnd of course Godfrey
knew what he meant. It was cixiel in the
circumstances , for many men spend far more
on their clothes than Godfrey. He simply
gives his mind to tlio matter and taken care
of his things , he will spend any time se
lecting a color or getting a coat fitted. "
"Is your brother quite dependent on his
friends , Trlxy ? " u
"Yes , in the meantime , and that Is the
reason why \\e ought to be the moro consid
erate. I wished to , settle halt my Income on
him , but It Is only a third of what It used
to be something to do with Investments has
reduced It and Mr. Marsden would not hear
of such a thing ? he ; allows Godfrey 100 a
year , but that Uarjlly keeps him In clothes
and pocket monajr. "
"Still , don't yflu ithlnk It's all Godfrey
could expect ? " and. ilra. Leslie was Inclined
for once to defend this abused man. "Few
husbands would do > ai much for a brother-in-
law. " '
"Oh , of course. 119 does It for my sake ,
and he means to us kind. Dut , Florrle ,
Mr. Marsd.en ls.Jso 'careful ' and saving , al
ways speaking a ? It.-wo were poor and had
to lay up for thofuttrc } , while I know he has
a large income nnd , assure business.
"Why. he would : not leave that horrid
attest In Highbury , say what I could ; and I
oWe It to Godfrey that we haveoicome to
.JPufbpy , , . WhenJToctHvent to MeKamlria , my
brother slinply' oolfour presfafrillfruso and1
liaUilti furnishedin , .Mr. Marsden's name , and
so when , he came home from Alexandria we
were established In the cottage. "
"John is the best of husbands , but I dare
not have changed our housj In his abi'ance , "
and Mrs. Leslie' began to get new views on
the situation. "Was Mr. Marsden not rather
startled ? "
"He was Inclined to be angry with God
frey , but I sent the boy off to Scarborough
'for a" month , and he Is never hasty to me ,
only tiresome you can't imagine how tire-
.some.
"Is It the statistics ? "
"Worse than that. He has begun the
Reformation now , and insists on reading
from some stuffy old book every evening ,
Dumas' History , I think , till I wish tliere
never had been such a thing , and v.o were
all Uoman Catholics. "
"Very likely he would have read about the
popes then , or the saints. My dear girl ,
you don't wlrfi to have your mind Improved.
You ought to be proud of your husband ;
most men sleep after dinner with an evening
paper In their bands , and are quite cross
If they're awakened. But there they come ,
and we must have Godfrey's last aong. "

"Nurse will rise at four and bring you
a nice cup of tea. Are you euro you will
rot weary , being alone for two hours ? " and
Mrs. Marsden , in charming outdoor dress ,
blo.v cau-de cologne about the room. "Don't
you love scent ? "
"Where are you going ? " asked Marsdon ,
following her with fond eyep. "You told me
yesterday , but I forget ; this Illness1 has made
me stupider than ever , I think. Wasn't It
tonic charity ? "
"It's the new eoclety everyone Is so In
terested In , 'The Working Wives' Culture
Union. ' What is wanted is happy homes for
the working men , " quoting freely from
an eloquent woman orator , "and the women
must be elevated ; so the East End is to br
divided Into districts , and two young women
will be allotted to each. Are you listen
ing ? "
"Yes. dear ; but It rests me to lie with my
eyes closed. Tell me all about your society.
What are the young lad ley to do ? "
"Oh , they're to visit the wives In the after
noon and read books to them ; solid bookp ,
you know , about wages and all kinds of
things worklngmcn llko. Then In the evenIngs -
Ings the wives will bo nblo to talk with
their husbands on equal terms and the men
will not want to go to tbo public houssj.
A sad llttlo emllo touched Marsden's lljn
for an Instant. ' 'And where do you meet
today ? It's ft long way for you to go to
Whltechapcl. " K
"Didn't I tell yo ? The Marchioness of
Gloucester Is glv1ng"a drawing room at her
town house , and , La v Helen wrote an urgent
note. Insisting ,11i b I should come , even
though It were lonly for an hour , as her
mother depended on 'my advice so much.
"Of course I k$6w that's just a way of
putting It , but Ltia\o taken lots of trouble
about founding tlie * . union , o I hardly think
It would do for tno to be absent. You're
feeling much beUrtoo ' , aren't you , today ,
Thomas ? "
"Yes , much better , the pain has already
ceased ; perhaps iti l" bo 1ulto one when
you return. Can y u spare Just ten mln-
utoj to nit besluVujC ? There Is something
I have been wai Jpg to say , and perhaps
this Is my only cii nce. When I am well
again I may ba afraid. "
Mr p. Marsden at , down wondering , and
her hui'bandwallei aminute. .
"One understandV'jmany things that puz
zled him before , wc'n { he lies In quietness
for weeks and takes an after look. Yea , I
suspected It at times , but I was a coward
and put the thought away. It teemed
curious that no cne came to spend an hour
with me , as men do with friends ; and I no
ticed that they appeared to avoid me , I
thought It was fancy , and that I bad grown
self-con ctous.
"Everything Is qulto plain now. and
I am not hurt , dear , and I don't
bit me any person ; that would bo very wrong ,
People might have been far more Impatient
with me , and might have inado my life
miserable.
"God gave mo a dull mind and a slow
tongue ; It took me a Ion ? time to graip
anything , and no one cared about the
subjects that Interested me , Beatrice.
I wUh now you had told me how I bored
our friends ; It would have been a kindness ;
but never mind that now ; you did not like
to give me pain.
"What troubles me most Is that all these
years you should have been tied to a very
tueiomo fellow/ ' and Marsden made BOIIIO
poor Attempt to smile. "Had 1 thought of
what was before you , I would never have
asked you to marry me.
"Don't cry , dear ; I did not wish to hurt
you , I wanted to ask your pardon for all
that martyrdom , nnd to thank you for being
my wife ; and there's something else.
"You see when I get well snd am not
1 } Ing In bed , maybe I could not tell you , so
let me explain everything now , nnd then we
need not speak about such things again ,
"Perhaps you thought mo too economical ,
but I was saving for a purpose. Your
portion has not brought quite so much as
It dl.l , and I wished to make It up to you ,
and now you can have 600 a year as before ;
If * this Illness had gone against me , you
would have been quits comfortable In
money , I mean , dear.
"No , I Insist on your going to Lidy
Gloucester's ; the change will do you good ,
and I'll He here digesting the Reformation ,
you know. " nnd ho smiled , batter this time ,
qulto creditably , In fact. "Will you glvo
mo a kiss just to keep till we meet again ? "
When the nurao came down at 4 to take
charge she was horrified to find her patient
alone , and tn th * death agony , but conscious
and able to speak.
"Don't ring nor send for my wife. I sent
her away knowing the end wa near , made
her go , In fact , against her will. "
The nurse gave him brandy , and he be
came stronger for a minute.
"She had a great deal to bear with mo ,
and I did not wish her to nee death. My
moaner has been always BO wearisome I
hoped that nobody would be here. You arc
very kind , nurse ; no more , If you please.
"Would It trouble you to hold my hand ,
nurse ? It's a little lonely. I am not afraid ;
a wayfaring man , though a fool ; not err
therein. "
Ho was not nearly so tedious with his
dylns ao he had been with his living ; very
shortly aftrwatds Thomas Mardsen had done
with statistics forever.
IV.
Three days later Leslie came homo from
the city with tidings on his face , and ho told
thorn to his wife when they were alone that
night.
"Marsden's lawyer made an appointment
after the funeral- and I had an hour with
him. Ho line asked me to be a trustee with
himself In Mrs. Maraden's settlement. "
"I'm so glad ; you must accept , for It will
bo such a comfort to poor Beatrice ; but I
thought Godfrey was her solo trustee. "
"So ho was , " said Leslie , grimly , "moro's
the pity , and ho embezzled every penny of
the funds gambled them away In card play
ing and other ways. "
"Godfrey Harrison , Beatrice's brother ? "
"Yes , her much-admired , accomplished. Ill-
used brother , the victim of her husband's
stinginess. "
"If that be true , then Godfrey is simply
"
a
"You mean an unmitigated scoundrel. Quite
TO , Florence , and a number of other words
wo won't go over. I tell you , " and Leslie
sprang to his feet , "there Is name use In
swearing ; If it had not been for one of two
expressions that came to my memory sud
denly today , I should have been 111. Curious
to say , the lawyer seemed to enjoy them as
much as myself , BO It murt be a bad case. "
"But I don't undcrstand- Godfrey spent
Trlxy's money , how Is there anything to
manage ? Did he pay it back ? "
"No , ho did not , and could not ; he has not
enough brains to earn 18 pence except by
cheating , and If by clmnco he came into a
fortune , would grudge his sister a pound.
"Then ? "
"Don't you begin to catch a glimpse of
the facts ? Why , Marsdcn tolled and scraped ,
nnd In the end , so the doctors say , killed
himself to replace the money , and he had Just
succesded before his death. "
"How good of him , but I don't see the
necessity of all this secrecy on his part , and
all those stories about low Interest that be
told Trixy. "
"There was no necessity ; If It had been
some of us we would have let Mrs. Marsden
know what kind of brother she had , and
ordered him out of the country on threat of
the jail.
"It was Marsden's foolishness , let us call
It , to opare his wife the disgrace of her Idol
and the loss of his company. So her husband
was despised beside this precious rascal
every day. "
"Trlxy will get a terrible shock when she
Is told ; It would almost have been kinder to
let her know the truth before he died. "
"Mrs. Marsden Is never to know. " said
Leslie ; "that was his wish : she's Just to be
Informed that new trustees have been ap
pointed , and we are to take care that she
does not waste her income on thefellow. .
"Peoplo will send letters of condolence to
Mrs. Marsden , but they will say at afternoon
teas that It must be a great relief to Jier ,
and that It's quite beautiful to oe her ser
row. In two years she will marry some
well drcysecl fool , and they will live on Mars
den's money , " and Leslie's voice had an
unusual bitterness.
"Did you ever hear of another case like
this , John ? "
"Never ; when old Parchment described
Marsden giving him the Instructions , ho
stopped suddenly.
" 'Moreden , ' he said , 'was the biggest fool I
ever came across In the course of forty-two
years' practice , ' and ho weut over to the
window. "
"And you ? "
"I went to the fireplace ; we were both so
disgusted with the man that we couldn't
speak for flvo minutes. "
After a short time Mrs. Leslie said : "It
appears to me that this slow , uninteresting
man , whom every one counted a Tiore , was
almost n hero. "
"Or altogether. " replied John Leslie.
Beware of Imitations. Take no "Just as
good. " See that you get the genuine Dr.
Bull's Cough Syrup , the peerless specific.

Cornell Stuiloiit Who Got the IniiKli
< in ( lit * Secret Society Clinim.
"When I was at Cornell a dozen years
ago , " said a Cornell man to the Washington
Star , "we used to have .great times. We
had one fellow , who is now earning a oilary
of { 15,000 a year , while his father receives
the largest salary of any man In the United
States , who waa too much for even us , Wo
had a society In which the Initiation cere
monies were something frightful , Including ,
among other pleasant features , a collln , In
which the Initiate was burled that It , wo
put him In It and nailed on the lid ( there
were airholes In It that he did not know
about ) , and then -with ropes we ( let him
down through the floor to the next floor ,
where wo had a pile of ashes , which were
shoveled on to the coffin In a way which
was really blood-curdling to tbo man Inside.
Well , tlila chap I am telling about was to be
Initiated , but when the time came , which
was Saturday night , he was what he was
every Saturday night , so full that he couldn't
como to the scratch. We looked for him ,
but failed to find him , and the opportunity
passed , but not for long. About 1 o'clock In
the morning he was reeling upstairs to his
room , and thither we followed him , carry *
Ing the coffin along. He was so full that
ho didn't know anything , and by the time we
got into hl room , after giving him what we
thought was time to get into bed , ho was
sound asleep ,
"We weren't very particular how much
noise wo made , and , after knocking things
around pretty lively , wo had set the coffin
upon Bome chairs and then lifted hm | out
of bed and laid him In It , putting In a
blanket to make It easier on him. Then we
withdrew to think over what ho would think
when he waked up in the morning and
found where he was. I guess I jnunt have
been moro curious on this point than the
othero , for an BOOH as I got up I tllpjied
over to his room to get a place to watch
him when he came to himself , I dln't want
to disturb him whllo I was getting in hiding ,
so I opened his door very carefully and
poked my head In , and tht > night I btueld
almost paralyzed mo. "
"Ills hair turned white In a clnglel night , "
Interrupted the reporter , with moro or Jess
of horror.
"Not In the slightest , " continued the Cor
nell man , "He wau olttlng up In the coffin
as comfortably as you pleafcf , smoking a
cigarette and reading a Bunday papur.
"Of course , " he concluded , "U wat on ua
rather than on him , but he explained that
during the night he had horrible dreams of
being put In a collln nd burled , and he had
some ucrl of an Idea that ho might be dead ,
but when he woke up he tumbled lo Iho

THE FEBRUARY MAGAZINES.
Illneliiuleil In a llllccnril.
Prank Ilumll In Scrlbner's : I awakened
next firming with n sense of weight upon
my blanket , nnd my oars were greeted with
a rushing roar caused by a northeast gale ,
which had covered everything Inside our
lodge , to a dipth ot a foot or moro , with
fine , flottrllko snow. The temperature was
At least thirty decrees below zero. H was
Impossible to face such a blizzard without
freezing In few minutes. All landmarks
were obscured s > that wo could not continue
upon our course , As wp. had only wood
enough for the time that we cxpectfd to be
engaged In actual travel , we could have no
fire on days llko this , when we werecom -
rolled to "lay to. " We remained In our
blankets until midday , Men a kcttla of meat
was ( half ) boiled and we turned In again ,
In the evening a fire about the size of a cigar
box was kept up long enough to boll a kettle
of tea , one cup for each man ; wo always
wanted four. No meat was cooked for our
appetites were soon satisfied with the large
sticks of white frozen marrow from the long
boiiM of the musk ox.
Throughout the following day the storm
continued with Increased severity , and wp
were forced to lie lu the snow another
twenty-four hours.
My dogs never came Inside the Udgt * at
night , but celled thcmtolvcs up In the les
of the lodge , where the snow soon drifted
over them , giving warmth and shelter. The
twelve Indian glddcs came tnsldo as soon as
the last man rolled up In his blanket at
night. At first they spent a few minutes
fighting over the bones about the fireplace ,
then they rummaged through everything that
was not firmly lashed down. As a dog
dog walked ever a prostrate form the muflled
"marche" or "m'nltla" would quiet thorn for
an Instant , when tholr snarling and snapping
would break out anew , until some of us
would pick up a billet of wood and "pacify
them. "
Don : " nt ( lie ( Jreat NortliTrcxt.
Casper W. Whitney lu Harper's : One
nouid suppose that In a country literally do-
peudent on dogs for winter transpirtat'on ,
quantity and at least some degree ot quality
would bo kept up. And yet the facts are
directly the reverie. Not only Is quality
wanting , but the quantity U limited. The
Hudson Bay company , strangely enough ,
seems to have made no effort to Improve or
even establish a breed , and at Us more im
portant posts rarely maintain more than one
train , and never more than two. Throughout
the length of uiy trip I saw just seven trains
of dogs that could be called Qrct class Spen
cer's at McMurray ; two belonging to the
Hudson Bay company at Chlpewyan ; AlcKln-
ley's , the Hudson Bay company officer at Fort
Smith ; Gaudct's , the company's officer at
.Resolution ; the Uoman Catholic mission's
train at the cmme post , and that of Bculah ,
the Indian leader with whom I went into the
Barren grounds. Spsncor and McKlnlcy
probably have the two best trains In the
country , which they have bred from separate
bitches that had some Newfoundland blood In
them , ard were the only dogs I saw that
would come to harness on call.
Beyond the "foregoer , " upon whom the
nieanlngo cr ma-a-r-r-che ( start ) , o-u-u
( right ) , Ja ( left ) , and whoa are Impressed by
a club , and the stoer-dog as the one at , say ,
the wheel , to make It comprehensible , Is
tailed there Is no training. The foregoer
follows the trail and sets the pace. The
steer-dog keeps the oledso upon a slanting
track and guides It through trees and rocks.
He must be strong and Is the most important
of the four In rough country. As for compe
tent drivers , they are even scarcer than good
dogs , but the few are exceedingly skillful ,
and of these Spencer , McKlnley , Gaudct ,
Francois and his brother William at Chlpew-
yan , Michael , the Interpreter at Resolution ,
nnd the Catholic "brother , " whops ntme I
never knew , at Resolution , are easily the
boat. The difference between a good and bad
driver Is that the former knows how and
when to handle his sledge to ease the dogs ,
keeps them all up to tholr work and docs
not "forco" ( urge ) them at Improper tlmos.
The bad driver spends his energy In throwing
clubs at the foregoer and lashing the o'.ccr-
"
dog , chiefly because the latter IB "within easy
reach. Ho permits the sledge to slide hither
and thither , to the exceeding weir and tear
of the steer-dog. Now and then bo stops the
train and lashes the dogs all around , and at
all times ho Is forcing them. Only trains
made up of exceptional dogs last more than
a. couple of seasons , and once their usefulness
is passed the poor brutes ) are turned loose to
seek a living where those for whom food Is
provided are more frequently hungry than
satisfied. Their vagrancy Is usually abort
lived death by starvation or freezing comes
rpeedlly to their relief.
Thcoo dogs ate certainly notable travelers ,
from the best fed down to tbo puniest of the
Indian species , which are contemptuously
called giddcs by the half-breeds , and are not
a great deal larger than a big fox. They draw
a heavier load , at a faster pace , on less food
and for a greater length of tlmo than one
would believe without seeing. The usual
number to a train IB four , and tandem Is the
mode of hitching them to the sledge , which
lo about seven feet long by fourteen Inches
wide , and made of either two or three birch
fjlats held together by cross-bara and turnoJ
over at the head like a toboggan. These
four dogs will haul 400 pounds on a fair track
from twenty to twenty-five miles a day. In
the woods where the snow Is deep and the
trail must tx > broken the day's trip will be
fifteen to twenty miles. On a good lake or
river track , drawing a carlolo ( a passenger
sledge ) , they will go forty to fifty miles a
day. and keep It up several days , -and this
on two white fish weighing about three
pounds apiece and given lo each dog at night ,

Marlon Crawford In thft Century : Of the
pope's statesmanship and Latlnlty the world
knows much and is sure to hear more most ,
psrhaps , hereafter , when another and a
Etnallcr man vhall sit in the great pope-'s
chair. For lie Is a great pope. There has
not been his equal , Intellectually , for a long
time , nor shall we presently tee his match
again. The eri of Individualities has not
gone by , as some pretend. We of middle ago
have seen , In our llfotlme , Cavour , Louis Na-
palooQ , Garibaldi , Disraeli , Illwiurck , Lee
XIII , and the young emperor of Germany.
With the possible exception of Cavour , who
died polranod , as some say before he had
lived out his life , few will deny that of all
these the present pope poss&svea In many re
spects the most evenly balanced and stub
bornly sane disposition. That fact alone
speaks highly for the judgment of the men
who elected him , in Italy's half-crazed dayr ,
Immediately after the death of Victor Em
manuel.
At all events , there ho ! nnd3 , at the head of
the Hcly Ho man Catholic and Apoitollo

manner , as any who hold the pen ; and better
than all t5ii/t , as straightly iinplo and hon
est a Christian man as over fought a irat
battle for his faith's sake ,
Straight minded , honest , and simple ht < It ,
yet keen , sensitive , nml nobly cautious ; for
there is no nobility In him who risks a causa
for the vanity of his own courage , and who ,
out of mere anger against those ho Imtc-v ,
squanders the devotion of those who love lilni ,
In a ssnte , today , the greater the man Iho
greater the peacemaker. And to It should be ;
for If peace ba counted among blcxslngD , the
love of It Is among the virtues , "Blessed are
the peacemaker. " *

noise and stir started a herd down the

come tearing down the slope , with lonR ,
lunging Jumps , some ot them flinging their
heels nnd tails high In the air , Jumping
sldowlse , and bawling tn a mad , freakish
way. Just as cattle somotlmM plunge down
a hill , halt In play , halt In a state ot nerv

fect bedlam of noise , and clouds ot dust were
rising on all hands. The chief motioned
to mo to shoot.
I carried a short , thick-barreled buffalo-
gun It was before the days of breecJi-
loaders which threw nn ounce and a halt

A mad craze Btcmcd suddenly to have pos

had pressed down out of the ravine , and
hundreds were plunging down the bluffs.
The situation had suddenly become startling
and dangerous.
The chief , In alarm , sprang to his feet ,
and threw the wolf-skin from his head.
I did the same. He had evidently counted
on scattering the buffalo , and frightening
them off by our first shots. Instead a
tumbling mass of them had gathered about

was with alkali , set mo Into n paroxysm of
sneezing and coughing , In splto of my In

thick a cloud that we could practically see
nothing. Suddenly the chief uelzed mo by
the arm. "Come , " he said. "We go quick ! "
and wo started on a run. We dodged hither
and thither to get out of the way of plung

past within arm's reach.
The dust had grown continuously thicker ,
and my eyes , filled with the smarting alkali , Is
failed me utterly before we bad run fifty-
yards. I was again seized by a .violent flt

rushed ahead.
But , active and powerful as ho was , ho
could not save me In my blindness from col
lision , I was hit by one ot the huge ani
mals and knocked over. The creature
struck me on the left Bide , and I was
wrenched from the chief's grasp and sent
rolling over and over In the dust. In fact ,
I was knocked breathless , half stunned , and
could not have arisen at once of my own
accord. I should have been run over and
crushed but for the chief. As It was , I
