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 The InsultirifT It o> In Float of Him Must lie Over! iken at least, perhaps a lnnctrn. be i lets, vault ed on his back and tried to turn him around.

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.

"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.

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?" ill M IX! \ MVW tiIiKIIMNT. Sir William ( rook****' St<r> to <lr Hiijhl Society- Ktj* porat ion of Gold.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. LIPPiTAN BROTHERS, uppmaa'uluck. Savannah, Cflu FINE GRADES OF WHISKIES. WHISKIES. WHISKIES. The R. G.
