Island, on the Georgia side. With the
aid of a good pair of marine glassea
the tower can be described as built OF
stone and apparently hoary with age.
Indeed, the native Georgian has no
greater pleasure than to pour into the
astonished ears of Northerners the
tale that it was erected by the Spanish
about the same time as the structure
at St. Augustine. But the hard and.
rather unpoetic facts of the case areE
that the United States Government
built the place as defense against
the British in 1872, tome eighty-four
years ago.
It is termed, in military parlance, q,
Martello tower. being copied from
similar defenses erected along the
English coasts when Napoleon was
threatening to invade Britain. The
tower saw some little active service In
the Civil War. but, of course, was even
then not more dangerous or stronger
than stone dwelling. ii
At present it is used as reporting
and signal station, and during the
bathing season it is favorIte visiting
place for the guests of the fashionable
hotels at Tybee Beach, the noted
Southern seaside resort. There are
few objects on our coasts more strlk-
ing and picturesque than the tower at
Tybee, and ii only lacks few legends
of Spanish possessions, sieges, ETC., to
make it famous.

A Lizard That Dances.

One of the interesting little animal
that live in far-away Australia is tA
dancing lizard. This curious chap
about three feet in length and wears
pretty collar made for him by Mothd
Nature. This collar IS of bright red
yellow and blue mixture and is big AM
full of frills. He gets his name tron
his collar and is called the frille'
lizard. He's not bit pretty and hI
has a way of jumping around tha,
gives one a peculiar fright if one hap
pens upon him suddenly. AlthougI
this frilled chap has four legs, b
seems to like walking and dancing q
his hind legs better than travelling q
all fours. He's as quick as lightnin|
in his movements, and lives on tt
insects that inhabit the trees OF th|
thick woods. He could become
dancing master if he was bigger AM
vould conduct himself with create
ease. We can forgive the frilled liar
almost any of his pranks, but we canI
forgive him his long name, which

you think of that?

wood and dislikes New York. Yet
after all this, she'll continue to talk OF

II can't understand him. remarked
Wilson, half absently.
mo, nor can any ono else. He doesn't
seem worth the understanding, I'll
have to find him somehow. and send
him home. can't bear the thought Of
Margaret waitingin such anxious dread,
not knowing whether he is tumbling
about in the gutter or disgracing him
self in some other way. Are we at your
quarters already? How fast we must
have walked No; can't come in to-
night. Some other time, old fellow.
ri have to make the round of the club
houses, dare say. Well, goodnight. "
Bertie did not find Brian, as he had
expected, in any Of his probable haunts,
though he went to them all, anxiously
examined the sea OF faces, and even
questioned the walters and attendants.
Rather disheartened after this vain
search, he scarcely knew where to go
next. In his dilemma, he was in the
act of turning street corner when the
full glare of the street lamps telling
upon figure in front of him revealed
something very familiar in its outlines.
Brian" he said, under his breath.
Yes, Brian-walking with the uncertain
gait that only confirmed his fears: He
thought of Margaret, and angry lnd1g-
nation overpowered him; but this same
thought brought another, and under its
impulse he managed to control himself.
With few hasty strides he was by
Brian's side. and, placing his hand
rather heavily upon his shoulder, he
asked, roughly:
Where are you going2 Come homer"
Homer" repeated Brian, startled into
understanding and. shrinking under
Bertie's glance. Home to face her?
Never. A few days ago I promised her
I would not touch another drop. Yes,
promised. A farce, wasn'tit? Solemnly
promised. You see me tonight. Go
home, you say. Go home to see her
shrink from me! To see her blush for
me! To sec All, heavens, no."
These words made no impression on
BERTHE.
