i pyright, 1900, by Charles Battell
Loomis.
Oh. 1 and n’t know wqat to do.’ said Haw
iey Devuicige to Platt Wolcott, "Im sick
: playing on the trapeze and you can't
, . iy tennis and Aldiich Hale has my hat
6 , t'lere’s no fun playing ball. Wish somc
liting ’d happen.”
Aid then an old man stei ped out from
b-.'ind the oak tree and said. “Ever play
the game of geing to market with some*
t!i ng and having it change on the way? ’
V\ hat do y*ou mean .'’ said* both boys
,! once. They never had sf*tn the old
man 1 efore. but they took him for grant*
. and. •
was short and squat, artd swarthy
and he had a silv ry beard that hung
like a himmo k from ear to f*ar under his
cl in.
Well, say 1 give ycu boys a pig apiece
to ako io market at Faysopville. On the
way there it changes is fotm a half
and zen times ar.d when you reach the mar
ket it may b* worth a good deal and it
nay be worth nothing at all. That’s the
. ame. The boy that deserves good tor
ture will probably get it and you'll have
no end of fun by the way."
“Does any skill come into it?" asked
Platt. He had just learned how to play
c ess and he had a gr at idea of skill.
Wed 1 won’t say that skill is neces
sity, but it'll depend cn \our own efforts
in a way whether yen win or not. It's six
m.Jes to the market place at Paysonville.
C n you start at once?"
1 can." said Hawley Beveridge, swing
ing off the fence v.heie he had been sit
tiag.
"Ive got to run into the house and put
on my old shoes. These would hurt my
fe t if I walked six milts in them." said
Platt and he ran toward the house.
' Do what ycu want," said the old man.
p-1 asant’y enough, but with a peculiar
sm le. "Her ’s your animal. Hawley. Good
b>e and good luck "
As he epoke the old man handed to
Hawley a pink little squealing, struggling
pig with a rope tied to its hind leg. and he
next instant he was gone, whiskers and
all.
"Well I guess." said Hawley, "Off we
go piggy. I’ll sell you for enough to buy
a lantern for my bike."
But Hawley soon found that it was not
easy work to make the pig go In the , i-
The Pig Pursued It.
rection he warned him 10 go. He c died
to Platt, Hut he was in the house hunting
for his shoes and his chance fer havi g
the adventure of his life was gom•.
Hawley, finding that nigging would n t
avail pulled an apple out cf his packet
and held it to the pig’s noi-e and then
rolled it along the road in lroit of t itn.
The pig pursued it eagerly and aft 0 ” he
had caught up with it and *a t en it t • '.n l
along so contentedly, that Hawley fancied
he was going to get his lante.n etsily
when at the lirst mile p >t the pig s i <1 n
1 y changed into an unbroken pony at and
the rope became a bridle. With a sno t.
the pony wheeled in his tracks and start
ed to run back to the starting place, but
Hawley, who saw in his new po-sisdon
the equivalent of anew chainle s b ke
I

at least, perhaps a lnnctrn. be i lets, vault
ed on his back and tried to turn him
around. But the p ny was not to be easily
turned. He had no desire to go to market
and he bueked and reared and pranc and
on his forelegs <|uito perpendicular. But
if Hawley could not turn him he could
at least stick to his back an I as if
anxious to change his shajH' and so set
rid of this burrlik boy the |> i y • uJd* n-
Ijr wheeled around and dashed a lon* t e
road toward Puysonvillo at breakneck
speed.
Hawley was delighted and began to won
der whether a chainless bike would be
half as nice as u pony, but whild he was
wondering the second mbe post was reach
ed and he found himself on tool allying
In his hands a mouse.
1 dare say that if Platt had been abe
to get as far in the .tourney ns this h‘
would have been utterly discouraged aiul
casting the mouse aside he would have
returned home. But I don’t believe you
could havo made Hawley understand what
turning book imant. The old man had
iold him to go to Faysonviile with an ani
mal and oven If it turned Into a lady bug
he would go to Paysonvliio and he would
arrive there before markot ciosc l.
The mouse was a friendly little animal
and oround Its neck was a string, so Haw
ley fastened him to his button hole and
put him In his Jacket pocket and made the
next mile In seven minute*.
As he was passing the mile post his
pocket was torn as by a heavy weight and

tugged at a heavy chain to the imminent
danger of Hawley’s button hoe.
Hawley was not frightened, but he s-aw
that caution was ne.'essaiy. "If I loose
the tlo-g," said tm to himself ‘‘he’ll prob
ably' chase me, but if • can keep ahead
of him to the next nrle post he’ll change
to something else and IT. rake my chances
that ’ won’t be as bad as a savage dog.
So he has*.ily removed the chain and
threw it away and ih n took to his heels
and as he had expected t’ e dog followed
him at a gait that, would have won him
th? race if it had bten P’att who was
running frem him. But 11 a why had won
more than one mtdil fci long distance
running ard he kept three or four paces
ah- ad of the dog until he came in sigh)
of he next mile ;-osr and then he stubbed
his op and went h j ad-icng.
He le.-aiie l h a fed wi h the dog not
te ! fort behind I im and once more took
up t c p c . but ti e fall had winded him
and lie 1c i that he b lDngfd to the* dog
r 1 ss s mething hirpcnd pretty soon.
And that something did happen. The dog
in turn m ssed his 'Voting not twelve
fee- from the mile stone and before lie
li id ceased rolliag cud over end he had
tun and into a bull.
Ia n in< lined to till k that Platt woul 1
live giv n up th > journey then and there,
for tie hu 1 seemed to lave inherited the
s ivagc dlsp si on of the dog and charg
ed cri Beveri'g* w th fufy.
Just in time. Hawley took advantage
of an overhanging apple- b ugh and swung
himself out of ra* h cf these terrible
ho* ns. v
| He hud now a few moments for refled
| t. r. .
"The old man told to sell my nni
'm il ir> the market. I.lke as not this
| bull will change Into a sparrow at the
j next mile post, and then where will 1
ue. A sparrow wouldn’t bring enough to
I buy a monkey wrench or a bicycle bell.
1 wish that the market w i two rniVs
( nearer."
| All this time the bull was acting In n
highly eccentric manner, even for an en
chanted bull. It retired on in* hind legs
nnd danced sideways as a kitten does be-
I fore it has learned dignity and seemed to i
. be conicnt plating the climbing of the |
[ tree.
I *Lut Hawley felt reasonably secure, and
I as ho saw the dust of an approach-in,? |
(cum. he decided to May where he was !
and may !>•• t purchaser won. I pass by. I
Horror* of horrors! The ream turned !
out to b a young woman Iti a phaeton
who held over her head n red parasol.
.She saw the bull at (he same time that j
Hawley saw her. All thought of j>ro!lt
had vanished from his mind. He knew
that Just as soon ns the bull sow the
parasol he would insist on getting into
the phaeton with the young woman, and
the result would surely be disastrous both
to the carriage and Ms lair occupant. By
great good luck he had a silk red hand-
Kerchief In his pocket. He called to the
woman.
"iiMfi't Lw afraid. It's only a mud bull.
THE MO Ii KING NEWS: SUNDAY, JUNE 10. 1900.
Drive past in a hurry and I’ll keep him
away from you."
The young woman was not .only one In
a phaeton, she was also one in a hun ired
and she whf:ij*d up hip horse and da -hod
by the bull just as Hawley flaunted his
handkerchief in the animal’s face.
If the bull saw the young woman he.did
not think of her after <his insult, lie
came right under where Beveridge was
straddling a limb—and the faithless limb,
took that occasion to break and
let Hawley down astride of the angry
animal’s neek.
He seized the, broken branch in his
hand, tied his handkerchief on <he end of
h and he’d i: just in front of the bull’s
eyes. The bull was pointed toward Payson
ville and toward Paysonville he w’ent. The
,
the insulting rag in front of him must he
overtaken.
And so, riding the bull n headlong
speed. Hawley passed the next to the last
mile post and as he had feared he found
himself once* more on his feel, while on
his shoulder perched not a sparrow, but
a canary.
He felt that he ought to Vie thankful
that the bul! had not gored him and he
was more than glad that the youhg wom
an had escaped li lu r pbnet■:*:i. but as
canal ies w< i e plenty at Pays >n\ • b he
knew tha* this \v lldn’i I>,worth An ex
tra spoke. He fob like crying from vex
ation. If he had been Platt lie would
have wrung the birds neck in his irrita
tion, but being Hawley he nad no meaner
thought than to press on and do ih. best
he could. He talked kindly to the bird
and said. "I do hope that when the next
change comes 1 won’t find that I have ;t
in my hand, for I c' uldn’t
sei; grasshoppers even by the bushel."
The. canary cocked her heed on one si le
and siing whai seemed to Hawley to he
a very hopeful song.
Ou he trudged, going over In Ills mind
the strange events of the las two hours
and regretting that Platt had not been
ready *o seize the opportunity that the
old man had presented.
He approached the next mile post with
many, misgivings. , He certainly had tried
to da his best, but there seemed to be so
much chance Jn the changes that h*- was
not all sure that he would go into
Paysonville market with som -tiling worth
selling.
‘‘Twee. twee. twee. prrrrrr-rr, whee.
wbee. .whee," sang the little bird ns they
neareo the mite post, and Hawley fed
sorry- to think that he was soon to lose
her, bu> .-ns with soldierly stride lie pnsst-1
the lost post in lv- jour, y he found
himself grasping a big golden eagle and
a rhiinute Inter he was the center of a
group of market men who were asking *
thousand que-t ons and offering h m •
dozen prices for his prize.
The bird ma le no effort to escape and
Hawley sold him to a dealer in game,
who wanted a caged bird ns an o’trae
tfon for just the price of a chsiinless
bicycle # wi<h a lantern, bell and brake.
Hawley lost no time in mounting his
'ne;v and beautiful wheel and setting out
on his return home, lla.f way there he
whs met with by i crowd of noxious
neighbors, who had been told by the young
phaeton woman that Hawiey was prob
ably by then food for the bull, forgetting
in her alarm for him the fact that bul’s
like some very cross grained people are
vegetarians.
H * hastily recounted his adventures
and then excus'd h’mself.
‘I want to see how Platt came out."
He was in time to liberally see how
he came our. for 4 when he reached the
'Vo'eott homestead he saw P.att coming
out of the house with one shoe on, and
an anxious expression on his face.
"Say. 1 can’t find my other old shoe
m*ywh--ooh, where’d you get the lake?"

that when a print was token most of Hie
minerals were invisible, while th r> streaks
if pitchblende vv re quite white, and
even their edges seemed to emit a fa n<-
ly luminous haze.
The next thing to determine was
whether ih'.s s ngular ac lon In any wry
depended on the particular Halt of urani
um. After a number of delicate exp rl
ments Sir K. Crookes found that, as a
rule, this was the case—thrft an extreme
ly pure nitrate of uranium had not the
* proper 1 y and could not lie made to ac
quire if. The effeef, moreover, diminish
ed as the purity cf the salt Increased. '
Clearly, then. It could not be due to the
uranium, but to some substance present
in the compound as an Impurity. Now
tin* hum commenced. There were three
possibilities. Two üb*ttnces were al
ready known to occur In pitchblende—po
lonium and radium—which also possessed
the property that hud been attributed to
uranium. One of these might be •‘he en
ergetic substance. Polonium was quickly
dismissed; the unknown substance wua
proved to be something difTc rent from it.
Radium presented greater dlfflcul ios. for
the unknown substance agrees more near

uranium ut all, but of some other nub*

but present as an Impurity, which pos

that quite sma 1 quantities produce these
s'riking effects.

erv, though the full signifl atnee appeals
only to experts. The o r her one, announc
ed by Sir W. Robert*-Austen, though no
more than a remarkable advance < n for
mer knowledge, will be more rad lv ap
preciated by amateurs. Some four years
ago, in his Bakcriun l**crure, ! '* mh e ,
that If gold be placed underneath o col
umn of lead, and the two be kept hot,
though at a temperature well below that
at which the latter mineral melts, the
gold diffuses itself in th* lead, so that
even in t\v* nty-four It our.- an apprerithb*
quantity of the former con be* detected
in the lower portion of the la er. At tha
time he put a.-ide similar cylinders of
the two m tfils, keeping them for four
years at a tempera ure of about 65 de
gree* Fahrenheit. A> the end of this
period the gold was found to have made
Its way into the lead. The quantity, as
might he expected, diminished wi h the
distance from <he precious mem’. Wheth
i er gold con actually evaporate In ordln
i ary circumstances, as Sir W. Roberts-
I A listen remarks, we do not know; but
! obviously ir practically does so wh°n
j brought into contact with solid lead. The
j gold passes into the latter me alas steam
I might pass Into wood. The n lon, nN
doubt, Is slow’, but it Is sure. Metal, un
der certain circumstancca. may m x w.th
metal without melting—without even any
notable e.cvatl- n cf temp rature. Such
facts give a rude shock to ordinary ideas
of solidity.
Seven Wales in n Trap.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Residents of Vaughan bay. twenty miles
from Tacoma*, are having n big hunt after
seven whales which entered Vaughan bay j
Christmas day. Being unub.v to Arid (he
narrow’ channel leading out of the bay, the
whales hove been circling around and cut
ting all sorts of antics. Boatmen have
been able to approach within thirty feet
of thorn, and several parties with lancet*
have started to hunt them down.
The hunters are now trying to secure the
harpoons used by Tacoma fishermen three
years ago, when they captured u big Cali
fornia gray whal* which yielded BtX) bar
rels of oil. At that time i cannon was
mounted on a tug and fired cu the whale j
several times without effect. At last har
poon* were sunk Into him, and he towed
three towboats around l'ug't sound for
over a hundred md< s. By that time* he j
was so tired that lances could be used j
with deadly efl’ect. It la intended to re- J
peat this process if harpoons can be se
cured before the* whale* escape. A num

DOCTORS AGREE.
Recent Investigations by the authorities of several States have at*
traded attention to proprietary medicines, a nd there isa marked dispo
sition to draw a sharp line of distinction between mysterious nostrums
•nd worthy articles of scientific compound and known character.
“Many proprietary medicines,” says a leading
physician, “are the best possible prescriptions for the 'vdfciw.
diseases which they are made to cure, it is certainly Sr
•niy reasonable to expect that chemists of, , ff
world-wide reputation and unlimited re- /
sources ought to make compounds with e.xcep- ilftwSgSksf
t tonal skill, and it is manifestly to their in- /
terest # to have their ingredients fresh and / f
pure. Take, for evarnple, Lippmon’s great .pill
remedy, popularly known as P. P. P.
The formula is on every bottle. Every InSßlm{ I
physician knows that the ingredients are
the best possible remedies for purify- n&rffif '
Ing the blood, and the compound is . I
a scientific one, which increases the irSfl ! I
efficiency of the whole. I some- /ML g23SS|T I-I
times prescribe special mixtures /taaU |
tor Blood Poisoning, Scrofulous - j = sSS?s: |^
Affections, Catarrh, Eczema and other iJH aka *
complaints arising from impure and w eak ‘lL
blood, but i always feel safest in prescribing P. P. P., especially where
lam not personally acquainted with the druggist. In prescribing
P. P. F\ ( Lippmcn’s Great Remedy), I know I am taking no chances.”
When doctors feel such confidence in a standard remedy, it Ig
Do wonder that the general public inshF upon having it.
P. P. P. is sold by all druggists. §i a bottle; six bottles, $5.
