He still had faith that heaven would never permit such an evil as these unscrupulous men to succeed. How contemplated divine interposition would come he had no Idea, but he believed it would come. At that very moment Paul had a faithful friend of whom he had never thought coming to him. The dog courier that had borne the tidings that he and his companion were perishing In the forest had always shown a strange fondness for him. On the night Paul left, his canine friend was tied with the other dogs, lest he should follow and betray their flight. The dumb brute determined to follow, and when Paul was gone set to work to deliberately gnaw the seal riata In twain. His sharp incisors did the work and his keen sense of smell soon told him the course they had gone, and he finally brought up at the cavern. Paul was lost In painful thought when he suddenly felt the touch of a Cold nose tip on his cheek and became aware that a friend was near. The dog sniffed about him for a mo- ment, and, reachirg his wrists, at last, realizing that something was wrong, seized the thongs with bis teeth and began pulling at them. What is that noise? asked Kate Willis. Be quiet! Paul answered in an undertone. The' sharp teeth of the dog were silently cutting the thongs, which tied his master. In a few minutes Paul's hands were free. Then untying his ankles, he crept to where Kate sat against the big rock, her arms tied around it. Whos that? she asked. Kate Keep quiet! he whispered. was a bit nervous and very anxious t know if there was any chance for escape, but she restrained her natand said nothing. Paul released her and went next to old Ben Holton who was groaning as if he was breathing his last. The old fellow, dumb with astonishment for a moment, blurted out: Be ye agoin t untie me?" "No, no, ye wont! roared the sentry, who began to suspect what was up. Lighting a torch, he started to the interior of the cavern, where they had left the captives, when suddenly there came a sharp growl, an oath, a cry and a man was on his back, a furious dog at his throat.

Ever since Darwin showed how the common garden worm helped the ground by keeping constantly at work loosening it and making It fine, scientists have been studying these lowly creatures with renewed interest. Lately a Swiss naturalist. Prof. has been investigating the chemical value of the worms work, and he finds that, after a worm has finished with any particular part of earth, it Is far richer in phosphorus and lime than It was before. Thus the worm does constantly, as a regular process of nature, what the farmer strives to do artificially with chemical compounds. The worm fertilizes and enriches the ground Just as the farmer does.

Some years ago the mayor of a southern town in France offered a reward of $20 to every couple under the age of 24 who sought the matrimonial altar during his term of office. The mayor expended many thousands of francs in the manner described. Many years ago, when the number of marriages in a certain Alsatian town was far below the average, the municipal authorities publicly announced that all persons who married within a certain period should be exempt from local taxes for the space of five years. An epidemic of marriages set In at once. A Austrian nobleman was anxious to encourage matrimony among the peasants on his estate. He undertook to provide each bride with four pairs of gloves yearly. The offer acted like a charm. Enticing well-know- DISH FOR A GOURMAND. Welsh Rabbit That Brings No Nightmare in Its Trail.
