Jud thought a moment. His father
tod a steel fox-trap. He would set that
and have the thief. Leaving Ohio, he
ha&^ned to the house, got the trap and
raced back to the brook. It wan act at
last to hi* satisfaction, and baited with
u squirrel, which he h^} brought along
to bait his mink-traps with. He drove
a stake down through the ring in the
trap-chain, so as te hold whatever was
caught.
Two dflys passed and not * mink had"
been near, but the bait was gone out of
the steel trap, and also from two of the
mink-traps. Witty his usual persever
ance, Jad rebaited them and waited.
The bait was again eaten ant of most of
his mink-traps, and, what was more ex
asperating, another mink had been
caught and eaten.
Jad's patience now nearly gave way,
and he was tempted to tear his traps up.
Out uo second thought he resolved to try
ones mors. He would baft only the fox-
trap.
Jad did not v ait it the next morning,
as usual, for he w«s obliged to finish
IififeValing the potatoes. But after din

Dripping the hatchet, Jad threw him
self on the ground, panting and ex
hausted. Poor little Ohio now came
timidly forward, trembling and casting
f; ightened glances at the animal, as if
she half expected. J.t would eaaa' now

Did you ever wrestle with a hen that
had a wild, uncontrollable djesiriLia jn-
cnbate? Did you ever struggle on, day
after day, trying to convince her that
her mission was to furnish eggs for your
table instead' of hovering all day on a
door-knob, trying, to hatch out a litter
of front doors 1
William H. Boot, of this place, who
haa made the hen a study, both in her
home life and while lying in the embrace
of death, has struck up an argument
which tfaer average -fccu wilL pay more
attention to than any other he has dis
covered in his researches.
He says tha modem hen ignores
almost every tiling when she once gets
the notion that she is called upon to
incubate. Ton can deluge her with the
garden-hose, or throw old umbrellas at
her, or change her nest, but that don't
count with the firm and stubborn heu.
You can take the eggs out of the nest
and pot a blooded bull-dog or a nest of
new-laid bumble bees is plaas of them.

“ Ths topic of universal, interest at
Washington,” telegraphs the Chicago
TVibune oorrespoodent, “ has been the
discoveries of the autopsy. However
excusable the errors of diagnosis mode
by the attending surgeons, it is none the
less true as a fact that they have treated
the cose from the start in entire ignor
auce of the true character of the injury.
It is almost incredible that a group of
intelligent and experienced surgeons,
having a large familiarity with gunshot
u oumIs, should have gone qp exploring,
eleansiug and dressing.i a bamming
abscess for eight or ten weeks, while the
gunshot wound which they were sup
posed to be treating was left entirely
alone to the curative powers of unas
sisted nature. From Hay to«Uy we had
bulletins more or leu explicitly stating
the vicissitudes of the so-called wound.

There was also an sbumlanoe of
mnaller gome to ba bad for tba trapping
and this fall Jad was anticipating no
end of enjoyment in the warm Indian
’ summer days, trapping for “ musquash”
(muskrat) And mink along Benny brook,
which ran peat the clearing half a mile
iway in the woods. His father had
helped him make his traps, and on his
wry first visit ba was greatly elated by
Jnding a sleek and glossy mink in one of
them. .This piece of good luck had set
Jad naif wild, for mink skins brought a
high price nt the “big settlement,”
twenty^ five miles down the country,
where his father always went to do his
trading.
Jad watched his traps eagerly as a
miser watches his money bags. But
with all hi?vigilance, what was Ids dis
may to find, one morning, in the ttop
farthest up stream, that a mink hail back
caught and taken out by »omo wild beast
and devoured. The tail and little featb-
erly clumps of fur lay scattered alxtut
the trap. Dire vengeance against jhe
wild marauder at once possessed his
heart.
' Little Chlo was a keen sympathizer in
his troubles. She was also his com
panion in this trapping expedition, id
which it was her duty to carry (he bail-
senetimus a squirrel, oftener a trout
caught from the brook. -

iously, giving vent to bis indignation in
threats which he meant to put into exe

assault. As he came within a yard of
