street's souten herly liemit.
Topsy,, the mare, had bolted In the
main rotunda of M. Y. McLean's
stable, carrying the junior apprentice
upon her back.
The corporal, another actor in the
sezio-comedy, the senior apprentice,
trudged along the two -plank -and -miss
sidewalk on John Street, the glare
'from a smoky coal oil lantern now
and again showing him whether he
was on the planks or in the mud.
corporal was not in as great
rry as the mare—not just then, but
swards.
This Friday morning the junior
apprentice did not have any trouble
getting the bridle over Topsy's head;
other mornings it was a job to ex-
tract the bit from among the hay..
'She did notgrab a bite. Topsy
smelled something, and the junior
knew that everything was not right;
but where it was, that was the ques-
tion.
Just then load snores broke from
tbe loft. The mare pricked un her.
4e rs, andilire hair on the head of the
junior raised his cap. Second drought
was to get the haltet� a
up , and,
then stand-by, for T
couple of wallops in her heels that
would make Muster Jack Johnsing,
the pluck mast, ,turn white if she Mt
any place but on the head.
The corporal and the lantern mov-
ed as' slowly and as certainly as a
caterpillar down the centre walk of
the McLean garden. Presently he
reached the rear door. Just as he
enl rod, a couple of loud snores
grated hit. followed by others. For
a s ort time, the corporal was speech-
less. ' Then he found his tongue, and
said in a kind of a loud voice, hut
with tremor, "wait until I get my
revolver." The junior, not knowing
what else to say, asked: "Have you
got a revolver, Jim?" at the same
tune making up his mind that he had
no intention of waiting till the corp.
dug -up a gun. The time was around
two o'clock in the ,morning, and
Jimmy Scott's. and Bob Jamieson's
roosters were crowing for Old Sol to
get up and shake himself. No sired!
Topsy could take care of the guy
that was doing the snoring.
The senior and junior apprentice
held a council of war beside the
pump, a couple of hundred feet from
the stable. That distance seemed
safe. The safety involved two
thoughts—ifthey caught sight 'of
the snorer first, a couple of hundred
feetwasn't too bad a handicap in a
foot race; the other thought, it was
best to let sleeping dogs lay.
When in difficulties in the news-
paper game, "call the boss," and
that's just what the corporal did. The
boss, hurriedly dressed in a cap,
spring overcoat, collar rolled up, lan-
tern in hand, followed by the junior
apprentice, made for the stable. The
rear guard was carefully covered by
the corporal.
The guy in the hay loft was star-
ing just as loudly. But a silence fol-
lowed. The boss, a man of action,
said: "Willie, go get Scotland Yard."
For Willie, aged 14, the worst was
yet to come. Sans the smoky lar -
tern, he made for West Market
Street. As he stumbled along the
planks alone he saw the descendants
of every wild and tame animal—and
others—that old Noah had in the
ark. When an old frog said, "bunk!
bunk!" he felt sure an alligator was
coming his way. At the old market
ghosts and goblins and spooks were
there. What was the use of renig-
ging? A ghost could catch him
quicker than you could say Jack Rob-
inson.
More was to follow. Scotland
Yard, who lived off Main Street, own -
.ed a dog, fawn in color, big as a
Jersey calf. Would this man-eater
lie outside or inside the house. He
e as inside. He barked like all forty
while Scotland Yard fumbled for a
match to light the lamp.
"Who's there?" came the challenge.
"Please, Mr. Scotland Yard, there'
a burglar in Mr. McLean's hay loft
end he wants you to come and get
him out!"
The bar in the door lock snapped
hack. "Come in," he said. Scotland
Y <.rd dressed himself, and expres-
sively put a big gaffing in his over-
coat pocket, and he and Willie start-
ed for John Street.
In the absence of the junior ap-
prentice, the hogs and the corporal,
assisted by the coal oil lantern, kept
watch from the back veranda. The
hurgnlar could see that there were
two of 'em. But they could not see
his nibhs. By the time that Scotland
Yard got there, he had decamped in
the dark for Dublin, or some other
place—further away perhaps Har-
purhey. But none Irrnew this. Not
even the sleuth.
Arrived Scotland Yard. The quar-
tette, headed by the boss, made for
the stable. Inside, Scotland Yard
yawned and talked of everything bot
the yegg. The bogs became impati-
ent., but prudence said a three -tined
pitchfork, backed np by a burglar in
a loft, had the pen handicapped. The
pen might be 'mightier tha
`sword, but a pr)i's ork le en'

North End Notes.—With the elec-
tion less than a fortnight away there
is not much stir. As only about one-
third of the candidates will be elect-
ed, we would advise the other two- ,
thirds to be gdbd sports and keep a
stiff upper lip,—Charles Little, Sani-
tary inspector, was down on the
Leadbury Line calling on friends last
week.—George Stewart, of Paris, was
visiting in this section all .last week.
—We regret the death of William
McKay. He was one of the earliest
settlers and lived to a good age.
Charles Drager is another, who has
parsed • away from earth. He was
born down on the Leadbury Line 45
yearn ago. One by one death takes
its toll.—Word comes of another new
religion hatched out in the States,
calling themselves the "House of Dav-
id." The Leaders of the movement are
said to be of an extremely lecturons
type.—The sermon by the pastor at
Bethel last Sabbath was good. Chas.
Boyd gave a solo in a pleasing man-
ner. Miss McGavin presided at the
organ.—We hear that many preach-
ers are kept busy marrying people.
Sometimes they have two or three
couples at a clip. 9
LOGAN
Holy Name Rally, ---On Sunday,.
June 10th, the Holy Name Society of
Logan and Mitchell, Dublin, St.
Columban, Seaforth and Clinton, held
their annual rally at—St, Bridget':;
church, Kennicott. Following a par-
ade of the men of the different
branches, under the chief marshal!,
Mr. McDonald, headed by the splen-
did Brodhagen hand, a sermon was.
preached by Rt. Rev. Mgr. O'Connor,
V G., of 'London, Ont. The litany of
the holy Name of Jesus was read by
the master of ceremonies, Father
McCardle, of Dublin; benediction of
the Blessed Sacrament given in the
open air by the celebrant, Father
White, of St. Columban; Father Goetz
of Seaforth, deacon, and Father Gaf-
fney, of Clinton, sub -deacon. One of
the many pleasant features. was the
ev'cellent singing provided by the lo-
cal choir, augmented by Mr. Joseph
Henry. of Mitchell, and Mrs. Sachs,
also of Mitchell. A splendid lunch
was provided by the local branch of
the Holy Name, assisted by the
Catholic Women's League. It was
estimated that 1,500 people were
present and all were loud in their
praise of the efforts made by the
officers' of the Holy Name, and Cath-
nlik. Women's League to entertain se'
great a throng. St. Bridget's parish
is very grateful for the kind and
splendid assistance of the bat3d and
the singers. Rev. Father Kelly,
parish priest, was made the reclpi.
ent of a beautiful ear and a snb-
stantlal purse of money, showing ltd
a slight degree the popularity id
1 which he is held in the connaunity.
