Then there is the hoot owl which campers have often heard on the nroad Mountain. A stranger who does not recognize the cry of the animal experiences a blood curdling sensation the first time he listens to the screech of the hoot owl on a dark night.

And the sensation is nil the more vivid when that screech is ut? tered on a lonely mountain top near a spot where the badly charred remains of a murdered women were found. The setting Is perfect and all that was needed to arouse interest in the "spook" was the cry of the catamount and tho screech of the hoot owl. And Twelve-foot shark caught off the Florida coast.

Useless, only In the way, it was a memento to the heroic efforts of the firemen who were striving valiantly to check the flames, and whose actions were handicapped by such frequent incldents.v The rescue of six horses from their stalls, located in the centre of the burning lumber yard provided a thrill that is only surpassed In the moving pictures. Firemen with smoke masks, presenting grotesque figures in the shifting smoke and leaping flames, led the animals to safety.

Firemen on roofs, risking their lives for their fellow-man, and sweating, laboring chauffeurs, bearing the heat of their motors to supply the death-dealing water for the flames, were testimonials to the efforts the men were making to check the progress of the fire, and place it under control, which goal was not attained until half-past two this morning.
