(Little Killer Left Thick Trail of Dead
Which He Had Destroyed for the
Pure Joy of Slaying, and
Went Home.
! His mother wns a ferret, lenn, yel
I low and pink eyed and a she devil
j,to boot, silys a writer In London An
. swers.
,nis father was worse, a wild pole
,cat of the mountains, and a worse
devil than ever.
- But he, the cherub, was so soft and
furry and fat and creamy, and, though
he had got pink eyes, tliefe seemed
to be nothing else of his mother and
father about him. He never bit, he
never spat, and he never used bnd lan
guage, and he lived upon bread and
milk, like a gentleman.
So he was till the spring broke.
. It -was their own faul.t, the ferret
crs. They took him out rabbiting, as
usual. They put a collar with a bell
'on round his neck, as usual, and a
long, long string on the collar, as
usual, and they turned him Into a
. rabbit warren, as usual. And he
'sneezed three times, as usual, nnd h
;walked docilely down the first rabbit
hole he came to, as usual, to turn out
the rabbits from their burrows, as
usual, that the sportsmen outside
imlght shoot them ns they bolted.
So far, until he got Into the middle
' the mazes of tunnels, the inky dark
Besses, and the stuffy heat, full of
the smell of castor oil don't know
jwhy, by the wny and ho could hear
'the drumming of rabbits' feet fleeing
before hs ghostly, terrlblo self, every
thing happened as usual. Then nothing
'(did.
He was pulled up with a Jerk that
Hearty choked him. He tried going for
ward, but it was all no good. He
ibad only a yard of play either way.
QBIs line was entangled In a root. -The
hours passed, nnd the ferreters,
ofter trying every device known to
nan to get him out, gave it up nnd
;went home. The cherub did not give
It up. He worried slowly, and he
fhafed, he pulled, and tugged, be
backed, and he sweated, and ho
sneezed, and finally his collar camo
undone or broke.
The cherub sneezed threfl times, and
walked three yards. Then he realized
he was free. It was the first tlmo In
all his life he had been free, and it
acted upon him. In that second his
mother, plus his father, got to wdrk
In his own body, nnd ho began.
It wns really very clean killing. Fif
teen rabbits done to death, each with a
single, clean fang stroke behind the
jears was not so bad for ode small
ferret But he Improved, for lio slew

.carcass untouched where It laynd,
petting thirsty, came nbovo ground for
vnter. The water ho did not find, but
'discovered fowls In a fowlhoiise In
stead, and, as I said, being thirsty,
"drank blood. There were no live
fowls in that hen roost when he left
He visited the hutches of the Belgian
hares, which he slew, and thd pigeon
cote, where be got more blood.
After that he returned a mile across
country, killing three partridges on

VIGTIMS OF HUN BRUTALITY
How Allied Soldiers Suffer! When
They First Experienced the Hor
rors of Kaiser's Poison Gas.
Suddenly a great cry rang out:
"Tho gasl'
It wns true. Over thero from tho
enemy's lines, came great greenish
bulls, rolling close to the earth, rolling
deliberately yet swiftly, rolling
straight toward us, Emmanuel Bour
clir writes In Scrlbner's. Gas J Thnt
horrible thing, still almost unknown,
which had been used for the first time
only recently on the Yscr. U was
coming with deadly surety nmldst a;
tornado of artillery. Orders wero
shouted back nnd forth: '
"The gnsl Put on tho masks I"
- Each mnn spread over his face tho
protecting cloth. Tho shelters wero
dosed. The telephone, whose wires
ran the length of the communication
trenches, gave the warning: "Look
out! The gnsl"
We did not yet know what manner
of horror it was. None of us htul ex
perienced an attack of tho sort. We
ran to and fro like ants whose hill
has ueen molested. Some fined their
guns at random, others nwnltcd or
ders. The frightful, vivid thing came
on, expanded to a cloud, crept upon
us, glided Into the trenches. The air
was quickly obscure. We wero swim
ming In an atmosphere stained a
venomous color, uncanny, Indescrib
able. The sky appeared greenish, the
earth disappeared. The men staggered
about nnd rolled on the ground, stifled.
There were some knots of soldiers
who had been usleep, in their beds
when overtaken by the gas. They
writhed In convulsions, with vitals
burning, with froth on the lips, cull
ing for their mothers or cursing the
Germans. We gathered them up as
best we could; we took them to the
doctors, who, thus confronted by an
unknown condition, found themselves
powerless. They tried tho applica
tion of oxygen nnd ether In an effort
td save the lives of the victims, only
to see them die, already decomposed,
In their hands.
The masks had not yet been perfect
ed and wero a poor protection. Some
ran about like madmen, shrieking in
terror, the throat choked with saliva,
and fell in heaps, in contortions of
agony. Somo filled tho mouth with
handfuls of grass and struggled
against asphyxiation.
