CHAPTER XIII.

The night and day spoken of by Mrs.
Allenby in her resolve to nurse the
baby proved to be but a fgurative ex-
preston. She would have stayed, but
DIR. Hyde told her there was no real
danger, and that he was better left to
his mother.
You shall hear how he is every day
and twice a day il you like" DR.. Hyde
said, but you must not see him too
frequently. The plain truth Is, he has
not grown accustomed TO you yet, and
you are more likely to disturb him than
otherwise; his baby fancies must be in
dulged as much as il he were an older
patient, and he cannot have too much
sleep or too much quiet"
Mrs. Allenby gave way, but it seemed
hard, for she loved that child as she
had never loved but one before. Every
day, and sometimes twice a day, a mes
senger was sent from Orthorpe Square,
and went back with the ~consoling reply
baby was a little BETTER" or, ''baby
was much the same, nc worse" This
had to satisfy them all-even Margaret,
but she was admitted when others were
not.
The one, however, admitted most of
all, and even asked for by baby himself,
was Unky Bako. The old man went
about so noiselessly that Mr.. Hyde sug-
gested the govt had been frightened
away by his little favorite's danger,
slight az it was. Uncle Michael had
gone to Bristol, and the time of his re-
turn vas uncertain; but he sent affec-
tionate inquiries, and letters were sent
to him every morning.
1t was curious to Mary to see how
Arthur's little life had become entwin-
ed with that of her eccentric ledger.
The old man would play with him,
nurse him, or sit at his bedside by the
hour together, just rs might berequired
of him; he never tired,--his patience
never gave way. There was something
pathetic In the beauty which grew into
his rugged face while the child was i'll.
He had a kind word for everyone in the
house, even for Mr.. Parker, who crept
about the house on the tips of his toes,
and inquired how baby was every hour
or 50.
"You win excuse me, SIR he said,
meeting Mr.. Barker on the stairs one
day, but would you mind telling me
how the baby is?s
Better" said the old gentleman in
o whisper. Bring your pipe and come
up and stay with me for a hour"
Their speaking acquaintance bsgan

able of the statues in our museums of art

are di' proportiOnately large. Even the

THE VERY WEE.Esr MAN.
A Dwarf Who Would Have Been n DO
nanxa Had he Lived To-day.

Bebe is supposed to have been the
smallest man who ever lived. He was
borne by a peasant mi In Lorraine
just $50 years ago, and was called Bebe
because the first few years of his life he
could a~rticulate only BIB" The day
of his birth Bebe was smaller than his
mothers hand.
Ten days afterward he was taken to
the village cure. to be baptized, in his
mothers wooden shoe. because he was
o tired to be carried safely In her
arms. During the next six months
the same wooden shoe served as Bebe's
crib.
When Bebe vas about seven years
old King Stanislaus Lescynski Of Po-
land. who was then living at Lorraine.
heard what a wonderful little fellow
he was and ordered the child's father
to bring him 10 court. Bebe. Sr.. car
ried his son to the royal palace in a
small basket. Stanislaus said at once
hat Bebe must become his court
dwarf. Bebe's father was induced to
accede to this proposal with a good
bit of royal Polish gold, and Bebe was

court.
At the time of his introduction to
court life Bebe was just twenty inches
tall and weighed eighty pounds. He
never grew larger.
He had a sweet little voice, a good
ear for music aud nimble legs. He
could dance and sing with the best of
the Kings courtiers. He was useful
as n table ornament at all the Kings
great banouets. His most famous APP
pearance in this rather peculiar role
took place at a dinner which Stanis-
laus gave to the Ambassador Of u great
power In 1885. In the middle of the
table wa IN immense sugar castle.
Shortly before the guests rose to
leave. the door Of the castle opened
aud n knight in full armor stepped out
with a drawn sword in his right hand
All the guests thought the knight must
be- some wonderful automator which
the King had obtained from the skilled
mechanics across the Rhine. He
wasn't. however. He was none other
than little Bebe. He walked around

OF every guest. saluted the King and
then turned back TO the castle en-
trance. where he assumed the position
Of a sentry.
At a signal from the King every one
at the table began to lombard him
with small sugar balls. Bebe hurried
at once into the castle, locked the door
mounted the tower and pretended to
return the lire by setting off a lot of
perfumed explosives.
In 1853 the Empress C~atharine, OF
Russia, sent an cmissary after him to
the court of the Polish King. Late

Pearl Fishing in Lower California.

One of the largest pearl fishing
grounds in the world Is in the Calf Of
California. "The pearls" says cor
respondent, ''are not generally regular
in shape or very pure in color, but some
are of large size, aud many Of the rare
black pearls arc found. The divers are
nearly all Indians and their equipment is
of the simplest kind, consisting only Of
a basket hung around the neck, in which
to collect the oysters, knife to detach
them from the rocks AMI a stone with a
cord attached. When a diver goes down
he takes the cord between his toes, the
weight Of the stone carrying him at once
to the bottom. He gathers oysters as
long as his breath holds out, and then
rises to the surface, to descend again in
fifteen minutes. Some of the divers arc
wonderfully expert, and can remain un-
der water for as much az two minutes
before rising to the surface. The NOR
tally among them is fearful, for the
Gulf of California is infested with huge
man eating sharks, who carry off scores
of mer every year"

Books Made of Clay.

Far away beyond the plains OF Mcso'
potamia, on the banks Of the River
Tigris, lie the ruins of the ancient City
of Nincyeh. Not long since, huge
mounds of earth and stone marked the
place where the palaces and walls OF the
proud capital of the great Assyrian En-
pre- stood. The spade and scraper, first
of the French and then of the English,
have cleared all of the earth away and
laid bare all that remains of the old
streets and palaces where the proud
prir ces Of Assyria walked aud lived. The
GODS they worshiped and the books they
read have all been revealed to the sight
of a wondering world The most curl
Gus of all the curious things preserved IN
this wonderful manner are the clay BOOKS
of Nineveh. The chief library OF this
CITY was contained in the palace Of Kan
yuniik. The clay books which COM
posed its contents were sets of tablets
covered with very small letters. The tab
lets are all oblong in shape. and when
several of them are used for one book
the first line OF the tablet following was
written at the end of the one preceding
it. The writing was done when the clay
of the tablet was SOFT it was thea baked
to harden it. Each tablet was numbered
lust as librarians of to-day number the
books of which they have charge.
Among these books are to be found col
lections of hymns, descriptions OF AMI
mails and birds, stones and vegetables, as
we'll as of history and travel. The As
syrians were great students of astronomy.
The method of telling time by the sun and
of marking it by the sun-dial was either
invented by them or their neighbors, the
Babvlonians. None of our modern clocks
or watches eau be compared with the
sun-dial for accuracy. Indeed, we regu-
