HIS MOTHER [The following story is swift and brief, but it contains the two *: * " supreme elements of human in terest-love and death. It is an . original story, and was written by Hal Reid.] A wail. A long, low, mournful sound which reverberates through the rocks and rugged trees of moun tainous Arkansas. By the side of the rocky pathway is a cabin, and away across the range, just eraergins: over the' tops of the pines, the August moon is rising. A thin blue line of smoke is seen a little further on and up the mountain, curling lazily upward. From the low cabin door comes a woman, an old thin woman, her face is like leather, and the deep furrows of age and care are deeply impressed upon it. - Again from out the stillness comes that awful sound. i!Thet be a dorg a-howlin.'," she mutters"Thet be bad luck. Ther be trubble a-comin'." "Hayer! Boze! Hayer!" she calls, and from the tangled underbrush skulks a lean, misera ble, yellow dog, and with tail be tween his legs and hanging head he crawls slowly toward her. He stops. And again that dreadful, awful howl goes echoing across the range, Like a flash she pounces upon him, and with her hard, bony hand, mercilessly beats him. "Cuss ye! shet! will ye? Do ye want t' bring them gov'ment spies a-down on tis? G'win th' house. G'win!" Groveling, trembling, the dog skulks into the cabin. She stands a moment and looks j toward the curling smoke, and then turns abruptly into the cabin i door. Once within, she reaches into a corner and brings forth a rifle. Examining it carefully, she sets it just inside the doorway. She stands a moment irresolute, and then goes to where the rifle stands. "You never howl, "she mumbles, as she caresses the polished barrel ; "but ye bark, my beauty, 'en bite, too. Let 'em come. I be a-ready," and she sits down upon a chair near by. Silence. Save now and then the deep notes of a pond-frog breaks the stillness, Whoo-oo! whoo-oo! whoo-oo!" "Owls," she mutters. "Whoo-ee! whoe-eer'*whoo-ee!" Like an athlete, she springs to her feet. "Thet be sum one ov' us." She goes to the door and placing her yellow, shrivelled hand to \)ne side of her mouth : "Ee-whoo ! ]ee-whoo ! ee-whoo !" goes through the dank woods. A moment. And then around the cabin, closely hugging the log walls, comes A woman. She steps within, her pale yellow hair hanging about her thin neck. "They be a-comin' up the moun tain," she says breathlessly, "Who be a-comin'?" asks the elder woman, in haste. t "Th* gov'ment spiesc." "Cuss thet Boze ! It a-wuz him es did et." She stops and listens intently.| "Halt!" From the rock below comes the I command, but faintly sounding | on the,night air. "They a-be after Dave," says the younger one. "They a-be . af ter my Dave-your Dave,our Dave.' The Thin old lips compress, and the-yellow face is in an instant as hard as flint. She moves quickly to the candle and blows it out. "How d'ye know?" "They cum t, our cabin fer water, 'n I heerd 'em talkin 'en I runnedupthe short way." "Listen!" "Dismount. We foot it from here." "Mag, kin ye .warn 'em up et the still?" "I be a-feerd, Miss Jenkins." "A-feerd?-afeerd? en you a wantin' to be Davie's woman? Suke Thomas wud a-go." "I bea-goin.' Wait!" And the younger woman throws j a shawl over her. head and steps out into the night. . On, on she goes over the rocks j like a frightened deer. "The a-moon be a-with us,' musters the old woman, as she watches the other. A cloud rolls away ; a momen- j tary gleam of moonlight; a figure in bold relief standing upon a rock. Whing-r-r-r-r-r?! A bullet I j speeds ita way. S 11 A scream. A poor tottering form.? A second. And the girl's lifeless body rolls down the reddened rocks. Unmoved, like a steel statue, stands the old woman in the door. She is watching the smoke curling upward, beyond. Thinner it grows I r and thinner. It is gone. "Mag be ded," she mutters; "en / Davel'l be a-mighty lonesum. But they's warned." She listens. Not a sound. Ten minutes, half an hour-two-and no sound. "Cuss 'em, they's fooled again." Then from around the house, silently, like ghosts, come the forms of a dozen men; and be tween two of them, shackled hand and foot is Dave ! She utters ifofflound. "They're .a-got^e, Mam," ha says. "I a-be the only one tuck. They a-wuddent a-got me unly I a-went t' see Mag, you a-kno' she a a-loved me ; en, en-" His throat closed, and a tear splashed at his feet. "Dave," she, says, "you've a always bin ust to the mountain, son, hain't ye? En they a-be goin' to take you to jail. Ha'ntye, spies?" "Yes ; he's good for a life sen tence, for murdering a government officer," answers the officer in charge. "Then a-good-by, Davie. Kiss Mam." The bony arms are about his n#ck, the thin lips press his own. "March!" commands the officer. "A-wait a minnit. I've a-got eumthin' inside fer Davie t' take along." "Halt!" She turns and reaches inside the door. Like a flash the rifle is levelled, and iu.an instant it cracks' Mother!" And Dave, with a convulsive clutch at the airmails dead at her feet. Like a rock she stands. . "You kin a-have ray Davie now. Artake him an' go." Horified, unmanned, the officers stand. Right about face-forward march ! !" She stands and watches them disappear, and when the last sound has died away she sinks be side him. "Don't a-be mad at Mam, honey. Don't stare at a-me like a-that. I a-be your Mam, 'en I a-nussed ye, en I ust to a-give you goards en a-sich t' play with ; en a-when yed cut yer finger I'd a-tie it up fer ye. Oh, Davie, Davie, don't a-be mad with me. D'ye a-mind, baby, wljen ye a-stumped yer toe, I tied bacon on it fer ye. Ye never cud a-lived thar, son en' that place, never." From the cabin skulks the dog. Her head is upon the dead man's breast, and she is aroused by the "lap, lap, lap," as the hungry brute licks up the warm blood. "Cuss ye! Et wuz a-you!"she shrieks. > . And, with superhuman strength, she grabs the dog by the hind legs and dashes him to death. Morning?came,>nd with it the government officers. That evening, when the sun sank behind the rugged rocks, its last rays tipped three rock-covered graves. For they had found her dead be side the body of her Dave. Religions' Differences.

There ia a place for its imertion, and by seeming to hold it together it attains a utilita rian phase, in that it is an aid in gloss ing over the percentage of madenp sug gestiveness that is always more or less associated'with the imitative article. The madenp flat or puff scarf, if worn without a scarfpin, discloses its arti ficiality in all tha baldness of its me chanical inferiority.

It is a well known fact that milkia especially apt to sour during the preva lence of a thunderstorm, and from this it has been surmised that the electric discharge held some mysterious sway over the lacteal finid. An Italian ex perimenter, one Professor G. Tolomei, has been making trials of various sorts, the object being to throw some light on electric influence over milk molecules. In his first experience he passed an elec tric discharge from a Hoi tz machine be tween two balls of platinum. hanging j ? two inches apart in a bottle containing j p a quart of fresh milk; secondly, by send- tl in g a Current between two strips of d platinum at the bottom of a V tube gj filled with the same fluid; thirdly,.by L( subjecting milk in a* test tube to the &*> A tion of-a strong iwrttery current through j a silk covered copper wire wound1 Bpi^ M* rally around the tube. " In each one of these experiments, which were as thorough as any lover of ft science could wish, it was proved that acidulation of the milk was delayed in- o stead of hastened, as had been expected. Three equal portions of milk from the tl same milking thus treated began to h grow acid on the seventh, the ninth and the sixth days, respectively, while other ei portions of it which had not been treated p with electricity was rankly acid on the tl evening of the third day. Having thus ai disproved the popular theory of hghtning n being the direct cause of the acidifica tion of milk, Professor Tolomei tried I ozone and found therein the mystic li agent of milk souring. In his second trial of ozone he brought the surf ace.of a quantity cf milk close to the two balls I - of the machine used, and the fluid al- th most instantly became acid in conp?-lei quenco. y Here at last a mystery that has puz-1 p zled professors and peasants alike has N been made' plain.-St Louis Republic, rr -;-"- tl Shoo? for th?

To Take Off Old Paint. 1 It ia very seldom now that yon see a painter burn off old paint with a spirit lamp or torch, though there are still a few who stick to the old method. The easiest way to clean paint off wood, or even metal, is to mix lime and salsoda pretty thickly in water and then apply freely with a brush. After a short thne the paint can be sci aped off without diffi culty. Any amateur can use this recipe; only a little care is advisable, as the mixture will remove skin from the hands or face even more rapidly than it will remove paint from wood or metal. -St Louis Globe-Democrat.
