speech; "dots she know that 1 tun year
mother? Will not you introduce me to
her?"
It seems a simple and natural request
enough, and yet the young man peecep-
libly hesitates, Ile even tries to turn It
off by a clumsy and entirely pointless
jest.
"Introduce you to her? to whom? to
'Spring'? I am really afraid that my ac-
quaintance with her scarcely justifies
such a liberty I"
A look of surprise and of nnturul an-
noyance clouds the cheerful eagerness of
Mrs. Byng's face.
"Is that a joke, dear?" she asks, with
o rather vexed smile; "It is not a very
good one, is it? Well, Jim, I must apply
to you, then; you can have no objection
to presenting me to your friends ?"
"Of course not, of course not," replies
he, with a stammering unreadiness,
which contrasts soinewhet ludicrously
with the acquiescence conveyed by his
words, "I shall be delighted, only-"
"Only what? Ali, here they come
they save us tho trouble uf going after
them."
As she speaks, indeed, Mrs. Le Mer-
chant and lelizabeth are seen nearing the
Mile group, but it is soon apparent that
this movement on their part is by no
means owing to any wish or even will-
ingness to make ..rs. Byng's acquain-
tance. It is indeed solely due to there
being no egress from the room at that
end of it where they have been standing.

their progress. In a moment they are
through the doorway. and out of sight.
Mrs. Byng looks after them with her
mouth open.
"They -they -are obliged to go home,
they -they are a .great hurry I" says
the younger man, observing the dis-
pleased astonishment espressed by Ills
mother's ceuntenance, and vvith a lame
effort at explanation.
"So they seemed when first we caught

"They -they are not going out at all al

any fresh acquaintance; oh, by -the -bye,
I forgot something I had to say to -I
will be back in a moment I"
So saying, he shoots off in pursuit of
the retreated figures, and Mrs. Byng and
her escort are again left tete-a-tete.
"Are you quite sure that she is all
right?" asks the lady, 'Wang at Jim
with a penetrating glance that he does
not enjoy, "because. if so, why was she

cause. While silting on the banit of a
rteer about a mile from the parsonege
he saw the two doge, apparentlY Ont
for a frieze:11,y- ramble, approach to the
waterside on the other' sicle; they lay
down close together, and In a few min-
utes he was astonished to see the big
dog suddenly grip the terrier by the
back of the neck and leap into the water
with U. 'Mtn in about, two feet ef
water it deheeratele stood and held the
terrter under the surface.
My friend saw that there was nothing
but death for my dog, but as he could
not cross the river without going around
by a bridge nearly a quarter of a mile
away, he fired a shot close to the head
cf the would-be canine assassin. That
startled it and, letting the terrier loose,
It sprang to the bank and boiled home.
My friend then ran around by the bridge
and when he got up to the scene of the
meditated murder found my dog lying
en the bank in a very exhausted state,
just having had strength enough to
crawl,out. We have here motive, con-
trivence to realize the motive nod skil-
ful deliberation in the operation; and
if that Is not reasoning I should be glad
ot a deflnition of "reasoning" which
would exclude such a performance.
I have records of a similar nature -in
al, cases the outcome of jealousy, and
mainly manifested among mammalla
0 primary gregarious habits, especially
the family Canitice. That arises from
the early fierce struggle for life, more
especially the struggle over prey. As a
matter of fact, although the dog was the
(lest wild animal dornesticate.1 by man,
It still displays several of its far off pre-
historic traits of wild life, and this is
me of them; rounding and worrying
sheep is another.
Jealousy over fund or partial favorit-
ism to others is rare among the cat
tribe, and their letsui•ely consumption. f
food is another striking trait of their
ancient habit of solitary hunting. The
habit of domestic cats becoming invet-
erate poachers is another evidefice of
the "old Marne still surviving.

"Tumndas" in British Army Victims of
Inferior Cooking,
There are very few mere in the Brit-
ish army who are satisfied with the
manner in Which army cooking is done;
and who can wohder?
The secret of indifferent army mess-
ing tics in the unpreparedness and un-
willingness ot, soldier-cooka for their
work. Men are selected at random
trom the ranks, totally regardless of
their qualifications, and are thrust into
a 000k -house to prepare, perhaps on
the very day of appointment, dinner for
it company of men. It says much for
the soldiegs adaptability and the cal-
pacIty for extraneous work of the one
trained eoolc in battalion -the serge -
eel -molt -that meals aro cooked 05 well
tee they are. But this cooking is at els
best primitive, and at its worst abso-
ItItely ruinous to any stomach but that
6fLatintle°sotpripcoti;Aunity is allowed the ser-
geant cools for training his charges;
they mime and go with the abrupt ri-
gidity of ell soldiers on billets that are
uneungenial; and men have not infre-
quently to be detailed to net as cooks
us for any ordinasy fatigue. The work
of the eoldler-cook is as physically ex•
noting as his very exacting art can

Frank L. Wellington has died at his
home in Trinity Avenue, New York, the
victim of a disease which caused his
benes to snap like glass. One day while
holding a Strap in a street car his arm
snapped off. A short time later a leg
bone enapped. According to his physi-
cian this terrible condition was brought
about by taking medicine which con-
tained a certain mineral poison.
Amen and again has it been demon-
strated that mineral medicines are
harmful. It is because Bileans, while
se effective for all liver and digestive
disorders, yet contain no trace of any
mineral, but elie, on tho contrary, pure-
ly herbal, that they have won the praise

CURED OF SKIN DISEASE BY
ZAM-BUK.•
Once more Zam-Buk, the great herbal
balm, has been proved. vastly superior
to ordinary remedies, and has cured
where other preparations had signally
failed.
Mr. 3. C. Bates, of Burks Falls, re-
ports the case referred to. He says
"My three children were all broken out
with sores on face, hands and feet.
Their condition was pitiable, and al-
though I tried various ointments and
salves they did not get at the root
of the evil, and the sores contin-
ued to spread. One day 1 saw a re-
port in a local newspaper telling bow
beneficial Zain-Buit was for shin dis-

WHO LAUGHS LAST.
Is the public growing more absent-
minded? .11i answer in the affirmative
would appear to be the legitimate de-
duction from the figures supplied in the
anneal report, of the Commissioner of
Pollee, regarding articles found in cabs,
omnibuses and triunway cars, 'and re-
celvetl at the lost property office. -
Last year 57,820 articles were found,
an Increase of over 5.000 on the pre-
vious year, In 1401, 40,221 articles were
found, and since then there has been a
steady increase. There were received
last year 44,825 written inquiries in re-
gard te lost goods -on increase of 5,4,35
on the figures of 1904, and of 14,051 On
those of 1903.
Owners of the lost, hrliciee were found
in 26,770 cases. Thee° were of the de -
dared value of £27.215 Mee and awards
ontounting to £3,509 les. were Patti fo
drivers and condtfclors who found the
lost articles. In 13 cases awards of £3
were paid, five of 01. one of £7, four of
£8, three 0 £10, one of 425, one of £30,
and in one case the May limier received
4100.
Public forgetfulness was most marked
in the case at umbrellas, no fewer than
25,337 being left in public vehielee.
