Nell, feellhgethat he had Wm pretty

troithie hiMeelf to answer. Anyhow,
the mil air brought Blackader's intox-

whether or not he had been answered,

heard thera make for the front doer.
He ran to the window, and kneeling
on tlfe flcor, peeped over the sill. In
the street stood a brown taxicab, such
as he and Blackader had riaden in.
The driver lolled upon the steering
wheel, 'smoking a cigar with tne non-
chalant air peculiar to elsaisffaurs.
Messrs, Johnson and Wilson appeared,
and, after a brief, whispered' colloquy
with the driver, entered' the cab.
Starting down the streat, it turned to

Neil considered a mement. "Have

there were millions UPon millions of

When hunters began to attack them
is not known, but they disappeared,
all but,a scanty remnant that escaped
to the neighboring forests of Poland.
These were at once taken under the
protection of the Polish Kings of the
Pleat dynasty. The traffic in sraoked

knowing how highly' these delicates-
sen were esteemed, sent them as pie -

monarchs.
Besides this traffic there were roy-
al buffalo hunts of a peculiar nature.
A glade or open space in the wood-
land was ehosen. • Paltsades were
driven in around the eircle of the
glade and several rows of seats were
built in a rustic fashion, forming a
woodland amphitheatre. Some dozen
or so of the fierce obi mates were
driven by dogs and beaters and men
with horns up to an enclosure con-
nected with the amphitheatre. The

not charge he receivea the coup de
grace. The spectators applauded and
the quadrille filed out, to give place to
another set of four and another bison.
The cavaliers were mounted on their
fittest chargers.
To have his horse wouhded was con-
sidered theacme of disgrace, though
to be wounded in person was a teeth

was always the national weapan of
the Poles, and they had a distiraelve

Sherbet is the Popular Beverage
in Thait Thirsty Opuotry.
The great beverage in Persia is sher-
bet, which is plentitully supplied mad
er which there are many varieties,
from the bowl of water with a Nome
or lemon, to the 'clear, concentrated
juice oe any sort oe fruit to which
water is added to dilute it.
Thtl preparaOon of sherbet, *which is
done with tbe greatest care, is a very
important point in aso thirsty a country
as Perela and one to which much time
is devoted. It MaY be either eapreseed
from the juice of fruit freshly gatli-
eyed or from the preserved extract of
pomegranate, cherries or demons,
mixed with sugar and eubmitted to a
certain degree of heat to preserve it
for winter consumption.
Another eherbet Much drunkla call-
ed guzangebben, It is made frem the
honey of the tamarisk tree. This
honey is not the work of the bee, but
the product ef a small insect or worm
living in vast numbers under the
leaves ot the shrub, During the
months of August end September the,
insects are collected and the honey is
preserved. When used for sherbet it
I s mixed with vinegar, and eitholitai
not so delielous as that made from
fruit, it makes an excellent temper-
ance beverage.
Only among the rich and fashion-
able are glasses used. In all other
eases sherbet is served in china bowls
and drunk from deep wooden spoons
carved in pear wood.

One Luling, Six Hits, No Runs.
Can six hits be made in is half inhiag
without the side making the hits
scoring a run?
This question was put to the Chicago
News, Whose expert says "Yes," and
explains:
The first man up triples and is
thrown out at the plate. The 'seeend
man triples and is also nailed at the
home Pall. The third, fourth and fifth
batemen singled, filling the sacks. The
sixth man drives the ball between see-
ond and third, and the leather hits the'
runner coming from second. The man
bit is out, retiring the side, and the
maxi who hit him gets the base, rap.
This makes six consecutive base raps
without one run being scored.

The most bloodthirsty of an the ruf-

well armed gang of Mapolo. Only an
hour or two before, said the native, Ito
had tut the throat of a missionary at

happy man lying still and warm on ids
