If Pnyson gits back he'll be able lo clear himself about that Terrill business, au' things is likely to p'int pretty straight al me an' Hud. I'm sorry I dragged Hud into ihat.

Having assumed, a chivalrous role In the Peruna incident, he was tasting something of the sweet sensations and experiences that follow a sincerely generous action. His enjoyment in contemplating his own virtues was overcrowded, however, by a vague presentiment of Impending danger, the "premonition'-' he had spoken of lo Polly, a word he hnd picked up from fortune tellers, whom he often consulted, being very superstitious, as aro most gamblers. And Nemesis in the person of Peruna was indeed approaching. The outlaw crept out of Ihe draw behind the contemplative half breed and, leaping upon his back, plunged liis knife in McKee's-neck with a fierce thrust, into which he concentrated all his hatred for the humiliation he hnd endured. With a stifled cry Buck struggled to his feet to face his assailant, drawing his gun instinctively. The knife had bitten too deeply, however. With a groan he fell. Weakly he tried to lovel his gun, his finger twitching convulsively at the trigger. Peruna waited to see if he had strciiKlh enough to Ore. A sneering smite added to the evil appearauce of his face.* Seeing Buck helpless, he snatched the gun from his hand. Then he turned his victim over so ho could reach the pocket of his waistcoat. With the blood stained knife he ripped open the cloth and extracted a roll of paper and money. Peruna was kneeling beside ,lbe���������bQ_djL_of_bis__former,fL-iend._whenra. voice drawled: "Drop that knife!" Peruna jumped up. with a grunt of dismay, to see Slim Hoover sitting on horseback, wllh bis revolver held upright, ready for use. Peruna hesitated. "Drop it!" ordered Slim sharply, slightly lowering tlie gun. Peruna tossed away the knife, with a snarl. "I'll take caro of your friend's bundle an' tho papers au' money you took from his pocket. Drop thorn! I didn't figure ou gettin' back to business as soon as I got home, but you never can tell, cnn you?" The last remark wns addressed lo his deputy, Timber Wiggins, who hnd joined hini. "This here's Timber Wiggins, dep- uty sheriff of Pinal county," explained Slim for Peruna's enlightenment. "Mr. Wiggins, will you tnko caro of this friend of mine?" continued the sheriff, glancing from Porunn, who looked at him stolidly, to Wiggins. "I reckon he's been doin' sornelhlii' naughty." Tho two men dismount od, keeping tho outlnw covered nnd watching his every glance. "Anything 1o oblige," replied Wiggins, who bnd solemnly onlorod with Slim Into his nssuni<yj forinnlliy, Wiggins slopped behind Porunn nnd, roach lng forward, removed Buck's gnu from Iho outlaw's holster, wlilch hnd been empty slnco Buck, earlier in (ho day, had.)niton his revolver after ho had liiHiillod Echo.

In 1911 this department distributed $1,500 in cold cash to tho prize winners along the main and branch lines of the Road. Prizes for the "best" garden havo also been given, photographs sent in being placed before judges who apportioned tho rewards "according fo their best judgement. Indeed the public itself has taken upon itself the properly of Judging those mimic gardens , which so enliven the roadway and cheer the travellers over .the great highway from East to -West." * livery year thousands of packages ol seeds and thousands of bulbs are distributed free of charge to the employees of the road, and the result is that thero ia scarcely a station or stctlon house or depot , from New Brunswick to Victoria oil Vancouver Island which hns not. been transformed by lhe magic blooms which so beaulify the lino. This is what might he called a profitable pleasure; for one thing It gives tho traveller tho Idea ihat Canada is not ������. money-making country alono���������It gives llio man of toil pleasant, i cereal ion���������ll, gives otlKr corporations a proof ihat the great corporation of Canada considers something else besides road building, and that is diameter building, for no man can work amongst flowers without feeling some touch of nature awakoning within his heart. This ali goes for tho betterment, of, the man, be, ho working man or man of leisure! ' The work ot lhe Floral department is effective. It is practical. It is beneficial' as well, for a love of the beautiful impluntcd in the mind docs much to regulate the heart. No set of employees in all the world perhaps, stand as high as the men engaged along the line of the great. Transcontinental. This is where the big corporation of Canada scores high; it makes its own departmental heads, and it makes them out, of lhe material of its own roadbed so lo say. At the present time of writing in addition to the Floral department at Montreal, the Irrigation and Forestry departments ol' the west, aro doing additional good work along decorative lines. The Read nas created a mimic, experimental farm, .testing the vegetable growth of supposedly impossible places, and as is well known, fruits common to hot climates only have been made fo thrive under the, coaxing hand of the C.P.R. It must not be overlooked that lhe wives and daughters of tho employees of the railway assist materially in garden making. Only this year, a station agent's wife at Agazziz, B.C., herself the mother of twelve children, carried off the grand 'prize for the best garden. o The list of prize winners in the competition of "Best Garden" along iho line of the Canadian Pacific Railway is announced. ,Onc thousand live huttdrcd_dollaiVi������--goId_wus_uistr;but-, ed by the ^Floral Department to deserving competitors, .while all along the many branching lines of the iron, arteries of the Road, many splendid gardens, whilo ~not reaching tho height of "best'*'- have given joy and pleasure to the thousands' of thousands of tourists and travellers who havo crossed the lines. ��������� The Grand.

Requires Only ,3 Fair Amount of Patience on the Part'of the Trainer The'training of animals, to teach them all sorts of entertaining tricks, is a task that renders, desirable, perhaps 6omo special talent ou tbe part Qf tjie trainer, but abovo all demands patience and a thoroughly methodical procedure. Let us begin with tho dog, and seo how ho is taught his tricks. Wo commenco from the commonest, though least interesting of our humble relatives; and in a future article' we may return to tho subject, to explain how many animals aro handled by the expert trainer. Tbe first thing overy dog must learn is his name. Select a short, sharp sounding namo and stick to it. Never call him anything else. If you have several puppies, the name Is taught on tbe same principle. DIvIdo tholr food, and then, placing a piece on tbe ground, call each In-turn by his name' and glvo hini tho food when ho comes for it. Send tbo others back If they come''forward out of their turn; Hy aud by they will learn"tbat a certain name is always associated with a certain dog, Ramble among tho dogs, and call out ono of their names every now and thon. If tho right dog comes to you, thon rowurd lilm with a piece of cake. Pay no attention to the other dogs. They will lcarti very soon; and the first grent lesson���������dependence rind obedience���������will have been learned. Having taught a dog to fetch-and carry���������whicli ho will easily learn��������� tho next thing Is lo teach bim to go and got any particular object called for, Place a glove' on the floor; then say to tbo dog "fetch the glove," putting tbo accent on the last word. Then, when he has done this several timcB, place a shoe on the floor and teach him to fetch tbis in a siriiilar manner. Now place both objects on the ground and teach him to fetch either .one, as -asked -for���������rewarding him when bo brings you the right one, and rebuking him when lie fetches tho wrong one, which you take from him and replace. He v/ill soon learn to .distinguish tlie right article, when a third may be substituted, and so on. You should then go Into th'o noxt room, taking the dog with you; and send him to fetch any article you mav mention. After a little while, he wiil bring you tho right ono every time. Next, try to teach hini difference in color. * Place a red object on the floor and a blue one-beside it. Teach "him to fetch tho article called for as you did beforo, being careful to reward bim every iimo he brings you the object. Then put down a green object, a purple, a yellow one. and so on; until finally a considerable array of colors may be placed for selection. Next, he should be taught tbe articles of furniture���������table, chair, etc. He must go to each as you call out Us name. Finally, -fcombine some of the ��������� previous commands: "Put the glov<i on tbe chair;'' "Get tbo.handkerchief and put it. on the table," etc. -At-firflHhls-should-bo-said-\-erj*'slo*w:" ly, and only half the command repeated at once, but the halves of the sentence may bo gradually blended together, until you enn say it as you would to any ^individual: and the dog will obey your command. To a certain extent, also; dogs may be taught the letters of the alphabet, tho number of spotb on each card, largo dominoes, etc. Vie method of training them is simply ono of constant repetition. Cards bearing tho letter or number aro placed In front, of the dog, c������J the letter or number Is called out aloud, and at tho same tlmo the dog Is shown which one it IS. After many trials he will solect this one and disregard tho other, when It ls called for. This onco learned, tho noxt letter is taught in like manner, until a number aro recognized by tho dog, and bo Is able to jijclc out any of them at will. It must, b<T admitted, however, that most fonts of this character, as performed in public, aro tho result of some trick, rather than any murvcl- loous or elaborate training on the part of. the do-J. which ..would.be no*"- r.sEiiry If ihc*Bn nppivrntly wonderful fonts aro nised r.n i. vory fow cues, given to tho dog ut tho appropriate tlmo, to which ho has been ttiugliL to respond lu a Hlnillor manner. A few examples will make tlilfl clear. Many of these feats aro porformed by moans of a cun word, In just the same kind of way ns "nilnd-readcrs" aBcortatn and pun/In tholr audiences. As soon as this word Is given, it may ho In Iho course of a sentence, the dog knows that ho la to perform a cortnln fiction. It Is not noeossary for ,hlm to understand the whole of tho iiontniico; only one word In II. Ah soon as thai word in caught tho action Is performed, Knob action corresponds to a cei'laln cue word. Again, lliorc Is a mothod of training by uho of the eyes, and when bin master glnncoH in any fllruotlon���������at- a tmrd, for.e.\(iinplo--tlio dog enn follow IiIh glnnee, nnd pick nut the and In turn, Or tho dog may be told to bark ii certain niimbor, In which onuo the dog watched IiIh nuiHter'H fneo clouoly, nnd Dimply barUrt until Uio eyes, or nomo movoinont, tolls bim to stop, Ilo does not have to know that he barks nine Union.

Zam-Buk Will Cure Them. The particular danger of chapped* hands and cold cracks (apart altogether from the pain), is that tho cold ls likely to penetrate and set up inflammation, fostering, or blood-poison. Uirectly the skin is broken by a cut, graze, or scratch, or chafed and, cracked by. tlie action of the cold' winds and water, tbo one necessary precaution is to apply Zam-Buk free* iy. The pure herbal juices from which Zam-Buk Is prepared are so perfectly combined and refined that the immediate effect of thcHO Eam-Buk dressings is soothing, antiseptic, and healing. Pain and inflammation aro allayed, disease gerni3 expelled from tho wound or sore, and the latter Id . (Illicitly healed". Zam-Buk la not only a powerful healer and skin puriiler; it is strongly antiseptic ond germicidal, and so forms tho Ideal protection for tho skin against diseaso germs. It quickly heals cold cracks, cbapa, chilblains, cold sores, etc. Mrs. O. M. I'hoon. Neucbatcl, Alta., writes:���������"1 must tell you how pleased I am with Zam-Buk. My husband bad an old frostbite on hln foot for many yoarp, and bad tried almost every known remedy without any effect, but tbe lirst application of Zam- Bulc soemed to help lilm so much tbat ho persevered and tho sore is now . cured.

Working In secret on two sides I found to be doubly perilous. On one occasion I made a narrow escape from being put out of tlie wny by tho very men 1 was serving. I was working iu tho Interest of the prime minister or pretending to work in his Interest and at the same time was a member of a secret revolutionary circle.

My lutentlon wns to have bim send a forco to arrest the circle, of which I.was a member, whllo they wore ln session. But I Intended tbnt the forco should arrive after the meeting bnd broken up. At the proper moment I would announce to the circle that I was a pretended spy for the government und Inform tlicm of tho plnh 1,'hnd laid. They would disperse, leaving documents to show thnt the place hnd beon used by revolutionists, but nothing to incrlmlnato any ono of them. It was a hnznrdous scheme, hut I felt that if it were successful it would glvo mo n fooling with tho government on which to found a still greater benefit to tho "revolution; But T'doro not toll tho members of tho clrdo beforehand what 1 was nbout to do, for I wns not suro, but that somo ono of, thorn was a government spy, such as I protended to bo.

But. heavens, how I longed for Orloffl Every possible precaution.bnd been taken since oUr first meeting to Insure against Burprlso, and tft deceive any force which might come upon us as to our ronf character. Tliere wore severnl sclentllle men lu our midst, nnd cert-iiu Instruments iind books used by them were kept on hand to be produced ln case of% emergency to prove that wo wore a 'society Intended for the advancement of science. These devices were brought out and all incriminating documents burned. We hnd barely got things In order when there was a sound of footsteps without, and a man wearing a heavy beard that concealed Ills mouth nnd chin nnd with his hat drawn dowu \ over his eyes entered. "You aro my prisoners!" ho snld, "Why so?" asked our president. "You havo been accused of plotting the nssnsslnntlon of a minister." ��������� "Wo nre men of science met for.Its advancement." "Yon cannot deceive the government by any such trick." "Surely wo will bo given nn opportunity to provo what we nre." "You will bo given an opportunity to prove nothing. You will be marched from this room to Siberia." The man who arrested us, backed by a forco whom wo could hear moving nbout in the bull, ordered us to stand up In- line preparatory to being marched awny. It seemed to me that the only thlug for mo to do was to declare myself a spy for the government. I' beckoned to our captor and whispered In his ear that I had given tho Information upon which he acted and asked to bo taken to the minister. Immediately a grent change came over evory oue present. "Enough!" exclaimed��������� the, president. "Our ruse has been successful." Looking at his watch he added, "Wo still hnvo au hour to get nwny, and beforo wo go it behooves us to mnke way with the traitor." Then addressing mo: "Vrouslcy,1 who has been pretending to he n government spy, learned this morning thnt sonic ono of our number had betrayed us. nud we wero to be arrested tonight iit half past 11 o'clock.

But one person could Interpose between mo nnd death���������that was Orloff. Why be was not at the meeting I knew not. I bad charged htm to be there, but had not told him why It was essential. 1 hurriedly told the circle every circumstance that had led mo into my present position, but not ouo of them believed a word 1 said. "If this is true," cried one of them, "you nro at least a fool not to have mndo some arrangement by which you could provo your case. And a fool among us Is ns much to be feared ������3 n traitor." "Orloff's my confederate." I said, "nnd be is not here. Send for him." "We have not tlmo. Before ho could reach us the hounds you hnvo set upon us would ho Oero."

I put my hnnd In automatically, for It seemed thnt tho currents of my footings neutralised'one.nnothor, and drew out ono of tho slips.
