Now, there was certainly nothing one
would naturally consider attractive to a
young girl in this musty little store
room, or "office-room.' as It was
called. There were no pictures. no
odd or curious relics. or bits OF antique
Workmanship, no books among the
dogs-eared volumes of adventure or
romance; nothing. in short, in the place
that girl of Stella Blake age and evil
dent tastes would be likely to look at.
But one evening, while the family
were at tea, in the dull. wayering light
of a grey November twilight, Stella
Blake crept carefully up stairs to the
library, through the long, dark passage,
to the 8 office-room'' door, and. taking
key from her dress, fitted it into the
lock. and turned it with quick, reso-
lutte hand. Opposite the door were two
windows SET but little more than a foot
apart, and at the right of them door
that opened into a narrow hall which
ran the length of the east wing. from
which opened two or three small bed
rooms, and two store-rooms for bedding
and unreasonable clothing. She stepped
softly across the floor and tried this
door; 1t was locked, which seemed to
satisfy her. The curtains were buff
linen; she drew them up to the ceiling,
and then kneeling before the cabinet,
which stood at the left OF the windows,
and opposite the wing door. she drew
out one after another of the yellow,
papers, and holding them
to the light, devoured them eagerly with
her eyes.
What marvellous eyes they were as
they cleaned through the fading light!
Miss Montford was certainly not far ont
of the way when she called them Gun
canny. Indeed. there was rather a
supernatural look about the entire face
as it turned itself to the light, leaning

A Poisonous Lizard.
ITO BE CONTINUED

The heloderme, according to M. F.
Sumichrast, inhabits the hot zone of
Mexico-that intervening between the
high mountains and the Pacific in the
districts bordering the Gulf of Tehuan-
tepec. 1t is found only where the eli
mate is dry and hot, and on the moister
eastern slopes of the mountain chain
that receive the damp winds from the
Gulf of Mexico it is entirely unknown.
Of its habits but little is known, as it
appears to be, like many lizards, noe
turnal, or semi-nocturnal, in its move
ments, and moreover it is viewed with
extreme dread by the natives. who re-
gard it as equally poisonous with the
most venomous serpents. 1t is obvious
ly, however, a terrestrial animal, as it
has not swimming tail flattened from
side to side, nor the climbing feet that
so Enthusiastically mark arboreal liz
ards. Sumichrast further states that
the animal has strong nauseous
smell, and that when irritated it
| secretes a large quantity of gluey
saliva. In order to test its supposed
poisonous property, he caused a young
one to bite a pullet under the wing. In
few minutes the adjacent parts became
violet in color, commissions ensued, from
which the bird partially recovered, but
it died at the expiration of twelve hours.
A large cat was also caused to be bitten
in the foot by the same heloderme; it
was not killed, but the limb became
swollen, and the cat continued mewing
for several hours. as if in extreme pain.
The dead specimens sent to Europe
have been carefully examined as to the
character of the teeth. Sections of
these have been made, which demon
strate the existence of canal in each,
totally distinct from and anterior to the
pulp cavity; but the soft parts have not
been examined with sufficient care to
determine the existence or non-eXistence
of any poison gland in immediate con-
neotion with these perforated teeth.
Such may be regarded as summary of
all that was known respecting this
animal until the 10th of July, when
living specimen. some ten inches in
length, was presented by Sir John Lub-
book 10 the Geological Gardens. 1t ar
rived in long tin box about four inches
square by twenty inches long. The
door at one end covered small OPEN
ing. through which Mr.. Bartlett was
unable to shake out the creature; so he
seized it by the head and deposited it
in a cage, little suspecting the risk he
was mourning of a yenomous bite. For
some days the heloderme refused every
kind of food offered to it. A live frog
placed in the cage was bitten, and. after
few seconds, liberated, but it died in
.convulsions almost Immediately; a
guinea pig. bitten in the hind leg, died
convulsed in three minutes; and some
young rats persisted even more quickly.
As the animal had not been fed since
its despatch from Mexico. there seemed
every probability of it's dying of IMAM
ition, when it was tried with hens

to interpose your ridiculous charity in
the matters at all. Mr.. DeVries,
think perhaps this would be good
time to speak to papa. 1 think his
mighty faith was shaken a little by that
guilty red that dyed her face. I will
leave it to You to manage"
Thank you for your confidence, but
it is not pleasant task, whatever my
own convictions may be as to its adj
visibility. However, I will do the best
1 can." and taking his hat from the
table he went out, looking little re-
gretful. as if his tender heart was
pleading against his stern sense of duty
to the interests of his friends. But
once outside sudden change flashed
over his face. A faint, exultant smile
flickered and died on his lips. and a
curious yellow CLEAN named in his eyes.
Mr.. Montford was in his smoking
room when the door opened and his
private secretary sauntered carelessly
in, giving a little start of surprise at
finding him there, as much, in fact, as if
he had not watched for half an hour to
see him go in there.
"rm rather glad 1 have stumbled
upon you, Montford," he said, taking
out his cigar case. "There's a little
matter thought perhaps it was my duty
to mention to you, as the lads father.

swered, impatiently. "There is nothing

Squid and Squid Juggling.

One of the greatest curiosities among
the inhabitants of the deep is the squid,
just now the orthodox bait for killing
the Goldfish. The squid is smaller edi-
ton of the huge devil-fish, or octopus,
wonderful specimens of which have of
late years been found on the Newfound-
land coast. The squid, take him con-
cretely, is a revolting-looking creature.
Cut section, say ten inches long, from
a common eel, transform its flesh into
a tough jelly, give it a cruciform tail at
one end and eight short sucker-armed
ieelers at the other; conceive the suck
ers, each armed with circle of small
teeth, and the feelers converging to n
cruel hawk-like beak-then we shall
have a weak likeness of the squid. The
creatures mode of progression is origin
al. 1t has within its body an elastic sue
ton tube holding almost pint of water.
Filling the tube by drawing water
through holes in its mantle, the squid,
by n sudden squirt. drives itself back
ward as fast as fish can swim, and by
inverting its tube can move with equal
velocity in the opposite direction. Jig
ging for these squids is rare spectacle.
The ..jigger' is red stick of wood
circled with sharp but barbless hooks.
The hook is let down, the sguid. which
enters these bays here by myriads for
food. is attracted by the red color, clasps
its arms over the hooks. and is drawn
up to its death. But as it reaches the
surface the novice must be on guard,
for the sqrid shoots straight at its captor
his charge of water, followed by anoth-
er squirt of an inky fluid. which on light
garments is almost indelible. The fish
ermen know the creatures trick, and
by a skillful movement induce the squid
to deliver his charges upon one side,
then by quick inversion of the hook
drop the squid in the boat A squid
fishing fleet of boats, closely grouped,
so as to keep the schools of young octo.
pi collected, is an animated sight. Each
man tends three or four lines, and has
all he can do when squid are around.
The hustle of the fishers. the humping
of the squid in the boats, and the inces-
SAINT squirts of water to height of sew
eral feet in all directions through the
fleet, make up most picturesque sea
spectacle. The flesh of the squid has
some poisonous quality that makes even
the tough skins of the fishermen sore
by long handling. On the Goldfish hook
its flesh grows white and tough. making
very alluring bait.-Cor. NJ Y Post.
