housewives have learned to fear him. He

is best known, perhaps, as a hard
shelled, dark-brown thing, not unlike

what he does not eat he destroys. Some.
times he starts on the edge Of carpet

Only poison can stay his course. Some
times he gets into the crack of floor and
eats the carpet in straight line from end
to end. When the bug starts on such a
tour, the housewives only resource is to
saturate her carpet with turpentlne.

They Have Human voices.

A species Of crow in India has a nnto
which exactly resembles the human
voice in loud laughing.
The laughing jackass, when warning
his feathered mates that daybreak is at
hand, utters cry resembling troop Of
boys shouting, whooping, and laughing
in wild chorus.
The night jar has q cry like one Ia
menting in distress.
Among birds that have the power Of
imitation the parrot is the best; bus. as
matter Of fact, its voice is decidedly
inferior to that of the mynah, a species
of startling. Curiously enough the male
bird speaks in high, clear tone, like
that of a child, while the female has a
gruff voice.
Another bird. the morepork of Aus
tralia, is frequently heard vehementIy
demanding more pork, in clear, stem
torian voice
Our whippoorwill also demands his
punishment in distinct imitation Of the
human voice, and the command of the
guinea fowl to come hack could easily
be mistaken for human voice
Coming to quadrupeds, the cries of
none approach more closely that Of the
human voice than those OF seals when
lamenting the loss or capture Of their
young.
The cry of awounded hare resembles
that OF child in distress.

CHAPTER III.
A GOOD SAMARITAN.

lssac Evesham, of Buffalo, lumber
man and mill owner, was in a certain
sense great man-not personally, for
he was short and chunky in figure; not
mentally, for he had no more imagina-
ton than a cow; not morally, for
though he was the prop and stay Of Lit
tie Bethel church, which was mainly sup
ported by his contributions, he ignored
the Masters precept to love his neigh
Dor as himself and chose rather to look
ct him as one to be spoiled as q Philis-
tine. Still he was very great man
ct Buffalo.
His sense OF duty was overpowering.
1t was duty which led him to prosecute
poor widow for stealing bundle of
splints; duty had induced him to grind
his laborers down to the lowest days
pay for the biggest days work; and it
was duty which had countenanced his
just indignation and strongly expressed
disapproval when his brother, twenty
years younger than himself, had per-
petrated marriage with penniless
girl-an act little less than crime in
the eyes of the astute lumberman.
He had married, Of course, but he had
been wise enough to s'love lass and
her money, too" and had nothing to re-
proach himself for in the prim, pinched-
faced matron. who presided over the
great, square, red-brick, public school
like building he called his home. He
had been blessed with children, too
one, boy whom he had mentally
starved TO death, denying him story
books and the casual enjoyment Of
childish liberty, and who had grown al
most TO q manhood OF harmless imbe-
cility, when he had suddenly sickened
and died; and girl, more robust, who
had survived her fathers immaculate
system to reach womanhood, hard,
cold, selfish person, with fear of her
father aud contempt for her mother III

view of personal danger over the stall

1t was very provoking. He certainly
was not gone five minutes from the
house; yet, when he returned with q
patrolman, he found the front door wide
open and his sister-in-law lying on the
stairs in fainting fit, with two fright
ened servant girls chatting her hands
and using other homely arts to revive
her.
"Why are women such bundles of
nerves?" he queried, petulantly, mop
ping his face with large bandanna
handkerchief.

collapsed into sullen Indifference.

recovering full consciousness.

hardly left the house when man rushed
down the stairs and passed out at the
front door,
''Man! Pshaw! All imagination!''
the lumberman blurted out, indig-
nantly.
ST am not quite sure of that" the Of
fcer interposed. .'But why did you say
you thought this man was a photog-
rapher, marn?"
II thought he was the person who
came to photograph the body of gen.
tleman who died in this house few
days ago." was the quiet reply.
"Oh, bah!'' Isaac Evesham interrupt
ed. "She's got that photographer on
the brain, policeman. Why, it's only
yesterday she told me cocl1-and- bull
story of him glaring at her through
window, like a CHASTITY specter in a
dime novel;"
''Yet You yourself heard the footsteps,
Isaac"
"Oh, pshaw! / don't know about
that; might have been some one next
door. However, we will soon find out"
He was very brave, now that the po-
iceman was by his side.
They went upstairs and found all Sc
cure. 1t was an hour, late in the even
ing, when the house was unusually de-
serted. All theSdoors of the chambers
were fastened; even that of number six
was securely locked. and when the
room was entered not a thing was out
of place.
Even the policeman W as fain to con-
fess that he thought it one of the nu-
merous scares he knew too well hyster-
ical women were apt to indulge in. and
went his way with a grin.
Isaac Evesham was properly exasper-
ated.
''You win find yourself in a lunatic
asylum If you go on in this way much
longer Esther" he said, grimly.

the widow pleaded, wearily.
"You mean you make your share of

The widows eyes flashed Indignantly.

that your brother ever had wife and

blunt reply.

An angry retort rose to the lumber

before him as though petrified with

cried to the trembling widow, and be-
