Few folks have ever trusted her as she Is very dishonest, but the Incident I am about to relate will show a different appeal to her sympathy. The tiny bird was flutter- ing with fright, both from Injury and the handling of the youngster. She was talking gently to the bird and stroking it. I asked her where she found it and she told me that some boys had shot It with a nigger shoot- er; there were tears In her eyes when she looked up at me. She said, "I am going to take it home and granildaildy will mend It so it will live." Her grandfather is quite clever and Ingenious In mending different things, so of course the child had all confi- dence in his "mending the bird. Our ways separated then and I thought no more of the incident until I saw her about a week later. In ask- ing for the bird I seemed to open a theme that the child loved. She simp- ly radiated with gladness. The answer iu her sweet voice was, "Oh, the bird is so tamo that it eats out of my hand now and its leg is much better. Would you like to see the bird? I wiH run right over and get it so that you may see how grand- daddy mended it." She ran away and very shortly she was back with the bird which did not flutter In her hands as she held It and! talked to it. On the bird's leg was a tiny splint holding it In shape while the bone was' knitting. The bird was as taaae as any canary that I have ever seen liv- ing In a cage anywhere. Soon it would be able to fly in the open spaces once more. Our Dumb Animals. Minard't 50 Year Record of Success. . _ .,*(.

His eyes closed, the throbbing of a vivid purplish vein showing in his copper black cheek ceased. in tho direction of Vilak's house and Klise's fazenda. Vilak. looked after him a moment.

On tho ground lay a third man, the drunken Indian they had noticed going up tho road. Ho was trussed with ropes like a wild beast just captured and made ready for shipment to some far off zoo. His arms were tied flatly l.ehind bis back, his mouth was gagged with a piece of old shirt, undoubtedly to stifle cries such ns they heard a few moments before. His skinny bare legs were also lashed together ami placed over a log .o that the bony feet projected high in the air. It was at this extremity of their victim's body that the two Italians were standing, Pasquale keeping up a running conversation in some uncouth Portuguese or Indian dialect, Detto holding in his one good arm a stick with a glowing ember at tho end which ho had drawn from the lire blazing a few feet a\\.iy. ilo gazed at the prostrate Indian a moment, grunted, then pressed the red ember nguinat tho victim's sole. Though tha Indian was bound us In i> vise, the horror-struck old man could see, his lean body quiver with agony ; the i<hirt over hid mouth twitched con- vulsively as he vainly tried to express that ngony in a cry.

Then ho removed the gag, and with his hand at the other'R nioulh ready to check any call for help, began growling a rapid series of questions at him.
