Borrow comes and sorrow goes.

Now the tear of gnevlng flows.
Now wa smile in hapoy hour;
Ix-ath awaits us. every one
Toller, dramer, teacher, writer
Let us then, ere life be done.
Make the world a little brighter!
Burdens that our neighbors bear
Easier let us try to make them;
Chains, perhaps, our neighbors wear,
Let us do our bent to break them.
From the itralttntj brain and n.li.d
Let us loose the binding fetter.
Let us, as the Lord designed.
Hike the world a little Utter!
Belflh brooding sears the soul.
Wakes the heart a nest of sorrows,
I'arkenlng the shining goal
Of the sun-Illumined morrows;
Wherefore should cur lives be spent
Daily growing blind and blmderT
Let us, as the Master meant.
Make the world a little kinder!

The s't-el .with which she had come

fully in a rockir.jr chair en the little
porch, brinp-inp him to h's feet with

an hurried out from her t.isk in the

raised to Heaven in shocked surprise

ard died, tilmot-t ithout a word. Who
had doceit? They had not stopped to
lnrpiire. While a servant had run for
the r rart st dK tor she had hurried for
Ui e'e Amis.
As he listened there were reflected
in the old man's eves the qunlities
which had made him the r--o indeed
towcr that he was in Hie little com
munity, the shrewd common sense, the
unfaltering resolution, the undaunted
urape of a born leader of men. A
few rapidly spoken orders set busy
hands at work on strap and buckle,
and nlmost before the messenp-er had
finished her tale a huppy, drawn by a
fast-steppinir horse, wa brotipht
around from the stable sod Uncle
Amos had taken his seat and turned
the animal's head into the shady lane
that led toward the scene of the tragedy.
It was a settlnp fitter for a pastoral
than a tale of blood, that rambling
house, hidintr its p-able ends in clam
bering rose vines and crouched in the
shade of noble elms. Always one of
the picturesque spots of the neighbor
hood, it had lost nothing of its attrac
tiveness in the hands of its new ten
ant. Mrs. Isi-nnison, who two years be
fore had come into the community and
made her home at Iiote Gable. As she
made no secret of the fact that she was
unhappily married and hid separated
from her husband, the pood people re
garded her rather askance, tin til, won
by the charming simplicity and blame
lessness of her life, they hnd recon
structed their code of ethics on a
broader Fcale and had ended by loving
her. And now she was dead, mur
dered! Who could have done it ? What
did it mean?
Uncle Amos asked himself these
questions time and time agnin while
his trotter drew him swiftly to the
scene of the tragedy, hut he was far
from imagining an answer when he
drew rein in the drive before the houe
and confronted the tear-stained faces
of the household. Silently he Iistentd
to their recital of the occurrence,
which added nothing to what he had
already learned from Lucy.
"The shot was Pred through this
window; the position of the wound
proves as much, ana the assassin prob
ably fired from that clump of lilacs.
See, it is a perfect line from there to
the piano."
It was the doctor w ho spoke.
"And has search been made that
wny?" asked Uncle Amos, waving his
hand in the direction of the !ilacs.
"Every foot of the gro'.ir.d has Veen
gone over, clear to the rni,d."
"And you have found "
"Nothing. Absolutely nothing, ex
cept a broken stalk of the lilac bush."
"I'.roken. how?"
".With the hand, apparently. It is at
about the height of a man and looks
as tlu'tigh it might have been twisted
aside and broken by some one hit ir.g
there who wished a clearer view of the
Louse."
"Ar.d has any one touclud it since?"
"Touched it? No."
"Then there Is a way." Unci? Amos
exclaimed. "See to it that no one dis
turbs the place until I return."
"Hut what are you goin? to c'o?"
"Get the bloodhound from the peo
ple at the old quarry and put him on
the scent; arouse the neighborhood
and run the scoundrel to earth."
WitJiout further words he clambered I
into his buggy and, gathering up the :
lines, was whirled away into the j
lengthening shadows of the after-1
noon. 1
The sun had a!most set when the J
bucry. followed bv men, women and !
children, all who were able to walk, 1
again drew up before the door of Rose
Gable. The great brute was lifted out 1
and stretching its gaunt, powerful ;

on the soft, cool grass, like a puppy.
And the crowd watched it in silence,
awed by the thing they had come to do.
standing in the shadow of this house
of death. Guided by the doctor and
L nele Amos, the foreman, grasping
the cail-studdcd leather collar of the
dog, led him to the clump of lilacs,
raised his heavy muzzle and laid it
along the broken stalk. Mute sur
prise in the beast's eyes only. Fur
ther along, above the fracture. An
eager sniffing told that it understod.
that it had the scent.
Dropjwd to all fours, the dog sniffed
the ground eagerly, ran hither and
thither, circled arour.d the lilac bush,
then, tossing its head high, with along
deep-chested bay, it laid its muzzle
once more to the ground, and, drag
ging the qtiarryman who held it with
a stout leathern thong, it set off across
the lawn. It was on the trail
And those who heard, thrilled with
the savage music of that bay, which
awoke in their own breasts the latent
savagery of the human beast. Their
pulses beat to a fatter measure, the
righteous indignation of an outraged
neighljorbood, for the moment gave
place to the fierce exultation of the
hunters of wild beasts. Frimeval man
awoke in them ar.d, scorning the chas
tening effects of centuries, rejoiced in
the chase
Eagerly the dog tugged at his collar,
as eagerly the crowd of young and old
pressed in its wake. 1 es, here was
where he got through the hedge. It
could be seen plainly, the gap. now
that the dog pointed the way. To the
right along the lane as far as the stile;
over this and across the fields by the
footpath to the parsonage, straight
on into the village. What stranger had
passed through that day? Eagerly
they asked each other the question.
None could answer it. And the won
der grew as step by step the keen
scented dog tracked the footsteps of
this unknown fugitive, followed them
into the various familiar plnoes in the
village, the store, the blacksmith shop.
the post office. Men looked at ach
other with wonder and suspicion.
What did it mean? Eagerly the dog
strained at his leash; quicker and
ever quicker he dragged his keeper
along. Again into the fields, back

rood, biu k to the house of death. Un

and it was growing warm. Tensewith

Arrived at the lawn lefore the house,
the hound turned promptly toward the
lilac bush. Eut it did not go quite to
it. At a point some dozen feet short
of the shrub it turm-d off and headed
again across the Inwn trward the gap
in the hedge. Again to the right, along
the lane, over the stile, across the
fields. The dog was tracking the track
ing party. Among those who followed
this hunt for a man was the hunted
man himself. Lifelong friends eyed
each other askance; in each face was a
look writ by horror and trepidation,
which to the superficial might appear
the look of guilt itself. Each suspect
ed his neiightior and felt himself sus
pected. Vain in that universal uneasi
ness to seek to read the really guilty
one. Nothing to do but to follow on
this overlying trial, around and around
until the end.

however, and with a bay of rejoicing
resumed the tracking, but in the other
direction. Back again to the pate of
Rose Gable, back across the lawn, and '
with a snarl of rage the great beast
tore itself free from the restraining
hand that held bim and sprang at the
throat of Jasper Downes.
"And the sentence of the court is
that you be taken back to the place
where vou have been confined and be
kept there until the 2!th of March,
when you shall be hanged by the neck
until you be dead. And may God have
mercy on your soul."
The famous trial was over at last,
and the villagers filed out of the court
room, silent and awed; still under the
influence of the impressive scene in
which they had just played a part.
"Who'd 've thought it? Jasper
Pownes. of all men! Why. I'd 'most

It was Homer Gough who spoke to
Uncle Anion, but he voiced the thought
of the country-side, which had not yet
recovered from the amazement into
which the unexpected climax of the
Rose Gable tragedy had thrown them.
For Jasper Downes had lived all his
life amongst them, beloved for his
gentle nature.
"The human heart is a curious puz

GOLD IN HORSE'S TEETH.
Valuable Euslaes Are Placed Im the
Hands of Ieut!ats for Carefal
Trealmeat.
The latest animal to receive the seri
ous attention of the dentist is the
horse. Already quite a nuinlier of val
uable animal, such as racing and trot
ting horses, have had their damaged
molars attended to and when they
nu.le cup. ay g. .tiering- gold teeth.
An ojK-ration in horse dentistry ia
interesting to witness, savs the New
York Press. No man has had more ex
perience in this unique profession
than Dr. Maher, who has attended to
over 250 cases during the last two
years. Let us follow the proceedings
in the ca.se of a racing mare that re
cently arrived at the doctor's oflice to
be operated upon. She was put in a box
stall, and in the passageway ouuide
her d.ior two grooms quickly placed a
table with dental instruments
a dazzling array of nickel-plated
tools.
The dentist in a white coat ap
peared. He took up one of the instru
ments. It had an ebony handle and
four bars of nickel, working on a
ratchet, which crossed one another so
as to form a hollow- square that grew,
by the turning of a tcrew, little or
big.
" Thin is a speculum," said the den
tist, and he set it to the proper size.
It fitted upon the animal's back teeth
and held her mouth wide open, af
fording a good view of all that lay
within. A groom took hold of the
speculum's handle with one hand and
of the mare's tongue with the other,
and the dentist examined the damaged
teeth.
"A splinter must come off here," he
said, and he took up an instrument
two feet long, scissors-shaped, and
with cutting edges that w ere saw like.
This w as a cutter, and on being applied
to the tooth it snapped off the splinter
as though it had been chalk.
Among the filter glitter of the den
tal instrument on the table, an elec
tric battery buzzed. The surgeon fixed
to one of its wires a drill, and instant
ly a burr of steel upon the end of the
drill began to revolve with the cur
rent's force as fast as a circular saw.
He applied the drill to the tooth. With
a nummiiip sounu it cug its way
through the torn enamel, making it in
moment quite regular and smooth.
The dentist cleansed the tooth thor
oughly with hot air blown from a
syringe, ll.en ne took up in a romps
a morsel of dental fold. 1 his malleable
metal he pounded tight into the cavity
and added more and more to it, mold-
jug the gold as it grew, till finally the
tooth hud gained its proper size and
shape. It was then filed smooth and
polished to a certain brilliance, and
