Show A Long-Legged Deer. A huge, flno! mounted antlored hcud hung just above tho sideboard In tho dining-room. This trophy of somo huntsman's skill was fastened so firmly to tho wall that tho glistening glisten-ing neck seemed to bo' coming right out through tho plaster. Robert, who was seeing this decoration for the first tlmo, eyed It with lively curiosity and very evident uneasiness. It looked almost ton lifelike for comfort. Finally tho boy, asking to be excused, ex-cused, slipped from his chair, tiptoed tip-toed Into the next room, and then, flushing with embarrassment, returned re-turned to his placo at the table. "What's tho tronblo, Robert?" asked his host "I wanted to see," explained candid Robert, "If that anlmal'H legs were really as long cs that of If ho were standing on something in another room." ' |
