Testa of other dlalanceg showed similar results ays the Indianapolis Kews.

In New York Slate alone during the year 1004 there were committed to asylum* the appalling number of 20.881 people, a city larger than Cohoes or Amsterdam five years ago. And the cost of keeping them was the formidable sem of (4320.000. Might aot many of these people have been left where they were Instead of being taken sway from their borne* and remunerative labor? asks the Commoner.

Sixty thousand wives cstrying their woes every year to the police court Is a greater number than the annual crop of bride*, states the New York Evenlag World. It la the police courts more than the divorce courts which tell the stories of marital fill pres. Divorce Is against the religious beliefs of many women and It is opposed to the feminine Instincts of many more. Especially where there are children a mother shrinks from divorce because of the stigma It may place upon them. Then, divorce is expensive and the tens of thousands of wlv*a\ who go to the police courts have no money to spare. If they had. -they would be taking other proceedings than to apply to a magistrate for the few dollars a week which la all that court' allows. Many women go more than once. A husband may meet hla payments for a few months or until hla bond expire*^ and then either hide in flew York or go without the jurisdiction of the court. Desertion has recently been made an extraditable offense. which may la part account for the recent Increase la the Bomber of a pp licit Ions from deserted wives.

A tilly piece of work It seemed Andy, a mere pretext tc keep him from the brook, but he knew better than discuso the matter with his father. A long, lank, red-haired man was Elll* Macomber. There was no smoke to his temper; Just dear dame, nothing was surer to rouse It than to grumble over one's work. The Macotuber* changed hired men frequently. The swallows rumbled In and out of list; loft door. The sunlight smote the hay dust into golden life. Grip, Andy'i dock-tailed mongrel, whined and panted moistly near the head of the stain. The-swallow* and the whining and thoughts of happy, roving hired men filled Andy with mutiouou* flushes; but he was- a M*crabber twig, after all. although not fully Inclined In the way father meant him to grow. 80. although the dust reddened his eyes and blisters hit into the palms of hla hands and his arm* ached with the eternal Jab, heave and tos*. be stuck silently

Presently he saw his father come rapidly round the corner of the chicken yard. He looked up grimly at his son. "Ha* Hie dog been with you all the

"Yes, since C," said Andy. „ "Thajt'* well—for him. Come along with me if you want to see a tore piece of work- Maybe It'll bring home to you the mischief of harboring n rascal

They picked up Mert. the new hired

Ellis. Mert. Andy and Grip, the dog alert, snuffing the wind, yet keeping shrewdly in the background, crossed In Indian file the shaggy orchard.' The wet meadow, where the bobolipkt were singing, and ascended the sudden shoulder of the sheep blU pasture. At the summit of the rise MaComber stopped and pointed toward a clump of featbep fingered Utile pinea. ' The two while bodies made a tragic' patch on the bright, bare hillside. Their long, silky fibrous hair was blown about as If by the breath of fear, and dabbled with‘the stain so grimly vivid. •'Come hack hern you brute!" aaid Ms comber, sternly.' as Grip crept fop ward, the wiry hackles rising on hit

Andy had plenty of spare time at hla dlaposal . nt this-seaabn,'and he and Grip put a pair of earnest heads together. and vowed to oust the pariah from his lair. The boy soon gave up trying to track the beast down out of hsnd. He planned a waiting game. A great thrust of rock formed bis observatory. From It he could command at close range the aide that Grey born turned upon the village. With glass and rifle he spent many a morning and long afternoon curled up in the rift; but somehow he never saw the quarry, although the continued mortality among the Merinos proved that the

tty beast sail went and came.

The hours ware not tedious. About him the mountains roiled thvlr vast bnlkt, full of shifting shadow and dally changes of color. The pesk of Grey born was particularly sensitive to stmospheric condition*. At times it sparkled like steel that had been partially rusted. Dnsnapeoed giant like-

human faces leaped Into

sight. One could trace dties of rocks In honeycomb clusters, with vcln-llke rosdt radiating away from them. When the aky waa overcast the peak was of softest lavender. At atm set It cflugbt and held a rich spectrum of

colors. 9

One warm, windless afternoon Andy aw the pariah for the first time. The beat bad been intense at the farm, but a current of air drew through the fun-nel-shaped valley below the roost, and the two watchers felt Its Invigorating

-stir.

The gray roof* of the fa.mbouae/ on the distant slopes sparkled like flakes of mica m the sun. Squares of pasture land Inlaid the Jade of die lining mountains. In one of these open*, not far from the roost, a flock of sheep •ver* feeding to the listless accompani.

Suddenly the drowsy tinkling changed > a clamor of notes. The flock opened like a fan and ran. leaping, down the ilopea, while the bell clanged madly and a chorus of frightened bleating

rippled to the air.

A big black shape, close under the treea of the forest, stood with paw on its victim, and grinned with bloody Jaws at the panic. Then with quick snap at the dead sheep, be lifted it and trotted baek -Into the

woods.

By a devious path the bear ascended to a black, ragged face of rock, and against this blackness vanished. Andy watched some moments longer to make sure. Then he shut up the glasses and stretched cramped limb*. He knew now where the pariah kqit bouse. After milking the cow* the next morning, Andy went straight to the

Be ordered .Grip to beC to a •tern whisper, and pulling » bit of candle from his pocket, lighted it with fingers that were aot quo* fiteady. Holding bis hat behind the flam* and the rifle under one arm, he walked gently forward, until a deep, inquiring rumble satisfied him that he had gone far enough. He moved the light, and It struck two green,- steady sparks out of the darkness ahead. Then be placed it upon the door, and stood with rifle ready and • straining eye*. About tbe greenish dots he presently distinguished the outlines of a black, snarling face, and lower down a vague whitish mark. The pariah glared back at him with a grinning snarl, and then retreated softly round a sudden twist to the gallery. “No going, round there for me," thought Andy. "Old sly-boots might get me at uncomfortably close quarters." He unwrapped tbe cotton from tbe wicked little dynamite cartridge and set it gingerly to a cleft to the rock floor. Then he held the candle to-tbe snaky fuse. It Ignited, and a tiny •park began to craw! spirally down the coll. Catching Grip by the collar, Andy hurried back toward tbe entrance. Tbe dog waa reluctant to leave, and at times Andy had to drag him along by main force.

An anxious WhM* and the swab of a wet toaape convinced. Andy that he was still alive. He got op feebly, talfchoked by tbe gaseous and earthy air. Leaning on Grip, he staggered forward and ■tumbled over the rifle. Apparently it had sustained no injury. He set the hammer at-half-cock, and using the gun as a stair, soon res
