"Willingly, my dear Molly. 1 shall ex-

Kate remained at Prospect Cottage until

morning at to go and visit the Flying

really the Flying Cloud they were approach

many, many leagues.

will be John who will be standing on deck

Mrs Barker understood very well that a
vague anxiety oppressed her cousins heart
when she interrogated the future. 1t had
taken the steam launch quarter OF an hour
to cover the two miles between the wharf at
San Diego and Point Lonna. The passen-
gers made their way to the landing from
which the Flying Cloud was lying scarcely
a cables length away. There was one of
the ships boats lying at the foot
of the stairway in charge OF two
sailors. Mrs Allaire made herself
known to them, and the men announced
themselves in readiness TO row her over to
the ship. A few strokes were sufficient to
do this, and Captain Willis having recog-
nized Mrs. Allaire, stepped to the gangway
to receive her. The captain conducted his
guests to the quarterback, while the mate
continued the necessary preparations to get

He has scissored and basted and sewed a
snug little fortune for himself, and all the
time The beard kept growing leisurely and
unebtrusively. After the beard had be-
come more than two feet long Mr.. Cook
tucked it inside his shirt, and it grew even
faster in there. But it was SO completely
out Of sight that even after it had become as
long as it is, his most intimate friends never
suspected that the ambitious but retiring
beard was growing fame for It's possessor.
Finally, one day about nine years ago the
little tailor trotted up two long flights of
stairs into the photograph rooms of his
friend, Mr.. Laighton, squared off before
camera. yanked great wad of hadr out of
the bosom of his shirt, made deft twist or
two at it, and 10! hirsute cascade flowed
to his feet. Mr.. Laighton was astonished,
but he pulled the trigger and the camera
did the rest. One of Mr.. Barnum's agents
once offered Mr.. Cook $50 a week and ex-
penses if he would go with him and just let
his beard keep on growing where the world
could look at it. Mr.. Cooks wife might
travel with him and the Snowman would
pay her expenses also, but the offer was
spurned. Mr.. Cook is between 60 and 20
years. His thick, luxuriant hair is as
black as a crows wing, and there is hardly
silver thread in either his hair or his
beard

A FoUR-LEGGED THIEF.
The Wonderful Dog That Stole Money From
a Rival of His Master.

The Wonderful Dog That Stole Money From
Rival of His Master.
A butcher in Bern was astonished one day
recently at seeing his dog run into his shop
and lay down at his feet the sum of $50
francs in the shape of 2O0-franc notes and on e
so franc note. He carried the money i'm
mediately to the police Office, but it was not
until some hours later that the owner was
discovered. Another butcher sent notice
that he had suddenly lost 250 francs and
could not discover the thief, as it had hap
pened while he was alone in the shop, and
had been in his hand q moment before he
lost it.
The dog thief, according to the Berner
Zeitusg, had paid visit to his colleague in
the shop of the owner of the notes, and
when the owners back was turned had
stolen the money and scampered off with it
to his own master 1t is possible that the
dog had come to his own conclusion about
the value of the bank notes.

Allow me to digress for moment while
speak of the wagon road of North Caro-
lima. The system has been bad one for
some years, especially in the Western part of
the State. For that reason the roads have
been practically impossible good
deal of the year. The Asheville and
Hendersonville road, for instance, is
kept now in the same repair that
the road is from Zanzibar to Lake
Victoria Nyanza. 1t was formerly tel

for personal expenses by the owners of the
road, the bill was always made out for tho; e
who desired to ride over the route.

Industrious Insects.

There are many parts of North America
where mosquitoes are SO plentiful and vari-
GUS that one is almost ,maddened by them,
but none that we know of where they are so
uncomfortable as to drive one to the grave tor
protection.
In Brazil, on the San Francisco river,
these little pests are so numerous and ven
omous that the inhabitants actually resort to
burial to get rid of them. That is, they dig
holes in the river bank, in which they lie
down, and then cover themselves with the
sand, just as children sometimes do when
playing on the seashore, having previously
placed over the head coarse cotton cloth
which is kept in place by the sand. In this
way they manage to secure what, at best,
can be but very imperfect sort of rest.
