MEMORIAL TO MARY BAKER EDDY Tho day came, however, when Henri fulled to return, and as the men stum- bled back again to safety Michael scanned, with anxloua eyes, every pule, haggard face, hla aensltlve nos trils quivering with dread. When the last man had been accounted for and Henri was still missing the animal darted toward tho battlefield and after some time re turned, greatly excited, and carrying on old half-glove which belonged to his friend. He could scarcely wait for the attendants to bring a litter beforo he stnrted off agnln, his great, Intelligent eyea imploring them to hurry. In a remote part of the field they found the young fellow lying still and cold. After a hasty examination the nttendanu left him for dead, hurrying away to succor the living, but Michael refused to be convinced. Again and again he returned for assistance, ac cording to Our Dumb Animals, but In vain, so ho mounted hla solitary guard, his face almost humanly ex pressive of grief. The attack took place about sun down, and it waa not until late that night that comparative quiet settled down upon the trenches. Suddenly the moon flashed out from behind a cloud, and Uio alert sentinel peered shnrply about, then brought hla rifle awlftly to hla shoulder. Not 20 feet away, creeping slowly towards the trenches, but halting ab ruptly every minute, loomed a largeJ dark object The sentry advanced can-" tlously, finger on trigger, demanded curtly, "Who goes there!" followed by the stifled exclamation, "Michael I", Michael it waa, gasping, panting, but still the same old dog Michael but not alone. Behind him, parts of his uniform literally torn away by. the dog's teeth, lny Henri, dragged, from the battlefield, inch by inch, by the devoted animal. And miracle of miracles, the boy waa actually breath ing. How the animal had accomplished such a difficult task rnd escaped the vigilant eyes of the field attendants will forever remain a mystery, but lit tle, fragile-looking Henri ultimately recovered.

As he disliked motor enrs, a coun try squire always kept good horses. Recently ho bought a particularly handsome mare, and a few days later asked his groom what he thought of the new arrlvul. "She's a fine-looking nnlmnl, air," re plied the man, "but I'm afraid she'a a bit touchy." "Why do you think ao?" questioned the squire. "She doesn't seem to take to no one, sir. She can't bear me to go Into her box to groom her." "Oh, she'll settle down in a few days," the squire reassured him. "Ev erything's strange to her, you know. I don't think there's much wrong with her temper." "Nor didn't I at first, sir," replied tho groom. "But, you ace, she's kicked me out o' that there box twice already, and when you come to think of It that's ery convlncln'." Couldn't Fool Willie.

The ancient Indians of Teru are nowj considered the world's greatest weav ers.

Though bur led three centuries or mora In tho sandy desert after being made with primitive hand looraa and other weav ing Implements, these wonderful fab rics are now found to be superior to those turnod out by the automatic looms of tho great mills of today. 8tarllngs and Crowa Chums. An interesting fact regarding tho crowa la their Intimacy with the star lings. The starlings first appeared la this country In 1800, and It waa not more than ten years ago that flocks of them began to be seen about Hartford, yet now the crowa associate with them in as friendly a manner aa if the two species had dwelt together for millen niums. The starling does not fear tha crow, and the crow does not act In a domineering way toward the smaller bird. The two together make a search of garbage piles and live in unity with out the least trouble, though they have nothing In common but their desire for food. nartford Courant
