Il NEW THEORY IOU MUD DOGS. L. W. BICAISE SAYS MANY FINE DOGS ARE KILLED THAT ARE NOT MAD. A recent dispatch from Charleston says : The marked prevalence of mad dogs throughout the State ia at tributed to foxes by L. W. Bioaise, a leading authority on dogs in Charleston, and attention will have to be paid to the mad animals in the swamps before the trouble is cor rected. In the opinion of Mr. Bioaise, the rabies develop more readily and com monly among the foxea than dogs, probably for the reason, he ex plained, that they are thick in the ewampa and when one ia bitten the infection spreads more rapidly, and the infected animals are free to con tinue to roam, biting and extending the rabiea until the diaeaae kills them. Doge, and especially hunting animals, will run into or along the swamps, of'en ohaeing a fox, and the affection apreada in thia way among the domesticated animale. A mad fox will not run away from the dog, being affected with a short of blindness, just aa are dogs with the disease, and consequently the dogs which como upon the foxes always have a tight and arc inoculated with the much dreaded virus. Once a dog ie bitten it is only a question of time when the rabies develop in theae animals and gradually the dogs make others mad and the prevalence of mad dogs becomes noted. The affection is brought into Charleston and other of tho larger com m unities of tho State, Mr. Bi oaise said, through the practice of many sportsmen sending their dogs into tho country at certain seasons of the year. Some of the dogs are sent to be trained or perhaps for better keeping than they would get in a city, and these dogs are bitten and later, upon being brought back to the homes of their owners* they develop the rabies and unloes the animals have the attention of their owners, that they might be killed at om,1*, the doge bite others and the numoer of mad dogs in the cities grows numerous. In his experience of many years with line breeds of dogs, Mr. Bi oaise has seen mary cases of the kind, and he baa often urged upon people having good dogs to be very careful about quartering theae ani mals in the country, on account of the likelihood of becoming affected. "Much of thia mad dog scare ia without foundation," said Mr. Bi caiae. "There are not near BO many dogs with the rabies as people de clare and many lino animals are killed without cause. I have treated doge which were pronounced mad an^ in a few daya or a week or two the dogs were again aa healthy and gentle aa they ever were, i have in mind one case in particular where the dog waa declared by several par ties to be affected with rabiea and, yielding to my entreaty to allow me to treat the dog with a few doses of a worm medicine, the animal waa again aa well as ever and never again did it have any trouble whioh re sembled the rabiea or which caused any uneasiness in the household. "Dogs do get crazy sometimes, if I may so call the affection, but these spells are|due either to some disease or perhaps.an injury, acting in a pe culiar manner, which caused them to b? mistaken for mad. In most of these caaes the dogs will recover, but at the same time I am not of the claas of people who advise any un necessary exposure of the person or of other animals to dogs which may be acting strangely, for sometimes these spells are followed by the rabies. Caution should always bo observed." In Charleston about a dozen dogs have been killed recently on the atreets as a result of their peculiar antics and fear that they might have been mad. The streets are still, however, very full of dogs, but it is expected that tho dog pound will be soon opened and the catching of the Btray animals will start. Moro free dom of the atreeta ia allowed to dogs in Charleston than in probably any other city in the country. - CASTOR IA The Kind You Have Always Bought For Infants and Children.

Camera Hunt BY HONORE WILLSIE. t Copyright, 1907, by C. H. Sutcliffe. C Peneloi>e took u long brents nn<l started ou after her brother and his ?wife, who were chatting with the guide. After the rough climbing of the morning the little plateau seemed heavenly. But even this respite did not ease P?n?lope s sense of irritation. Arthur*sNnnd AI leo's fad had seemed so amusing at first that she had read ily accepted their Invitation to Join titan)? To hunt the wild game of the Kookies with a camera was unique enough to be Interesting, but the hunt of th?; long tailed deer, so high among the peaks that rapid work was misery, had been very bad. The three days' chase for a snap at the black wolf had been worse, and it ended In failure. But this chas? for a mountain sheep was trying Penelope beyond endur ance. "It's easy for Alice." thought poor Penelope, digging her staff viciously into a crevice. "She's like a buudle of steel wires. Sho loves to get up beforo daylight and crawl half a mlle on her lunule and knees to wait at n spring for some silly l>east to come for a drink. But I'm Just worn out. Alice! Arthur!" Tho three enthusiasts ahead turned back, "You three leave me hero In the shade of this rock and como back for me when you aro finished. I am worn out." Arthur looked at Penelope In dismay. "But don't you wunt to seo a mountain sheep?" he coaxed. "Since the black tailed deer wen, In the river bottom this morning tho B??bp are sure to be up here. Just think, P?n?lope, ono of those curious, rare mountuln sheep!" But even this vision failed to move his sister. She shook her head. Alice gave a resigned llttlu sigh. "I'll stay with you. Penelope." she said. "No, you won't," said Arthur hastily. "It's not safe. Two women ore no bettor than one here." Hero the guide Interposed. Ile had been with them but n day, but already, besides hoing their guld^*, he was their counselor and friend. Ile was too well brod to be treated otherwise. Penelope looked nt th?; stalwart, heavily beard ed follow lu a troubled wuy. Ills re semblance to Dick In spite of the benrd was startling. "Now, I tell you. Mr. Seymore," he sold, "you know ns much about this bu si noss ns I do, und you tell me you have been up this trail half a dozen times before. Why can't I stay here wiUi your sister, lix up camp for the night and let Mr. and Mrs. Seymore go on und locute the sheep?" "Good, good!" exclaimed Seymore. Mrs. Seymore looked a little dubious, but Penelope spoke eugerly. Hero was a chance for an hour or two of rest that was not to bo foregone. "It will only be a couple of hours," she said pleadingly. "You wilt be back before dork, and I am so tired, and," she added artfully, "you may miss your only chance at the mountain sheep." "Come on, Arthur," said Mrs. Sey more, and the two started off up the mountain. The little plateau on which the col loquy had taken pluce was smooth and wide, with a little spring trickling out of the great wall of the mountain. Penelope sat quietly watching the dis tant peates In the afternoon light while the guide set about bis preparation for the night's camp, watching Penelope surreptitiously the whllo. Very lovely was the sunlight on the masses of her hair, the quick glow of color In her cheeks, the delight In her eyes as she looked at the distant glory of the can yon walls. Finally her gaze wandered to the guide us his work brought him close beside her, and ugain the troubled look came to her eyes. "Do you know," slu? said abruptly, "you have a resemblance to some one I used to know that ls startling." Hie guido straightened himself and looked nt her keenly. "Is that so?" he said In his quiet way. Without knowing why,'she added, "lt was Hume uue who wa? very dear to me." "And now?" said the guido tenta tively. "There Is no now," said Penelope, rising and walking toward tho edge of the plateau. - The guide watched her anxiously. "Not too near tho edge, please," he called. Penelope did not answer. Far, far below curled the slivery line that was the river, then up nnd up chaos of color in the rock masses, and silence, silence so intense that, though every sense was keen to catch tho brilliancy of the canyon coloring, Penelope etood countlug her own heart beats. She leaned over a little to look at the ledge below her. And then the thing happened - a sudden vertigo, a hoarso cry-from be hind her, n senso of ondless falling, then unconsciousness. After ages of nothingness she open ed her eyes-far above, tho sky with a glory of HUH and snow, a grandeur of distant peaks and far horlton, then a sense of pain and with lt a man's voice calling: "Penelope! Penelope!" And above the brush grown ledge on which sho lay n man's face looked down upon her. "Here I nm! Pm all right!" ?ho call ed back weakly. "Will you Ile perfectly still while I get the rope?" called the guide. "For hen von's sake, don't niovel'' "And "the face disappeared, leaving Penelope alono with the niue above and the far circling of an eagle about the crags. Then a ropo with a carefully ad justed slip noose dangled beside her. "Can you put it over your hoad and under your arms?" tho guide called. "For"my sake, Penelope, be careful! And look up at me all the time. Don't look down Into the canyon." Too bruised and shnkeu to be sur prised. Penelope took the noose with trembling fingers and tried to disen tangle herself from the brush which had broken her fall. Slowly, inch by inch, with pain at every motion, she raised herself to a sitting position, then 1'tUe by little adjusted the noose mi,?er her arms to the guide's satisfac tion. "Now," he called, "I'm gobi? to low er your staff to you, and you must keep yourself from brushing the wall by means of it as I pull you up." The fear and misery of that trip back to the plateau Penelope was nev er to forget. The rope cut into her chest until she would have fainted with the pain had not the difficulty of warding herself from the wall with her alpenstock forced her to keep her senses alert. Now, with a quick Jerk, she was pulled upward for a few feet; then a pause, while the rope twisted her dizzily, with now a view of the serenity of the opposite canyon wall in the afternoon sun; now the yellow dampness of stone within an Inch of her face, then another violent Jerk up ward. As she paused within foot or so of the. plateau level Bbe dowd ber eyes and dropped her staff. Tuen a pair of arms lifted her slowly, venderly, and laid her on tho ground, then carefully removed tho rope. Penelope opened her eyes. "Dick!" she said hesitatingly. "Dick!" "Aro you hurt?" asked the guido un heedlngly. "What shall I do? Shad I go nf ter your sister?" "I think there arc no bones broken." said Penelope weakly. "I am only terribly bruised mid shaken. How I am to get down the mountain again I don't know." "Oh. we can arrange that easily," answered tho guido eagerly as be ad justed the steamer rug on which sim lay. Again Penelope's sentes dimmed. "You do look so like Dick," s'.io mur mured. "Aren't you Dick? Only Dick was not so strong" "Tell me about Dick." said tho guide, with a ham] that trembled so that u cup of water be bad brought sprinkled her gown. Penelopo looked at him with puzzled, half delirious eyes. "Dick? Why, Dl< ' was my husband, and after we had our silly quarrel he went to Eu rone. That was three years ago.? The guide threw aside the cup." "Do you think lt was a silly qunrrei?" he cried. "Would you forgive Dick?"* "Yes," answered Penelope, "if only I could lind bim." The gold?' stooped and lifted thc slender, aching body Into bis anns. "Here I an), dear." he said. "Here ls Dick! It was never Europe, after all. I caine here, where I could work and bo fe .gotten.*' Poiidope looked Into his face, for getting her pain In tlie wouder of lt all. "I must have known lt," she said, "in spite of the beard.*' Then she closed her eyes on his shoulder. "Sheep hunting ls not bad, after all." she said. And Dick held lier close.

"liaise 10 cents or whiskers!" There was but one tonsorial chair, and lt was occupied by a stalwart fel low, evidently a blacksmith. Judging from tho stubborn growth of beard, the patron could nut have shaved but once a week on an average, for the growth was like a scrubbing brush. The barber made a lather, paced all over the coun tenance of the recumbent blacksmith, stropped the razor vigorously and sail ed into his work. After he had strug gled long and dangerously over his patron he felt constrained to say: "Ain't I hurtlu' you?" "No," answered tho Plutonian gen tleman, still with energy. "I seem to be workln' hard without gettln' there," commented tho village barber further. > "Oh, Just go on,'^ encouraged the blacksmith.
