CHAPTER XXXII.

She locked the door of her bedchamber
aud threw OFF her walking dress; light as it
was, al,e felt as If it would stiilc her. Even
the ribbon round her neck was more than
she could endure and breathe freely. Her
Overburdencd heart found no relief i'm tears.
In the solitude of her room she thought OF
the future. The dreary forebOding of what
it might be filled her with a superStitious
dread from which she recoiled. One of the
windows was open already; she threw up
the other to get more air. In the cooler at
moSphere her memory recovered itself; she
recOllected the newspaper that Herbert had
taken from her. instantly she rang for the
maid. ASK the first waiter you see down
stairs Coz to-day's newspaper; any one will
do, 50 long as | don't wait for it." The re-
port of the divOrce-she was in a frenzy of
Impotence now to read what he had read
the report of the divorce.
When her wish had been gratilied. when
she had read It from beginning to end, one
vivid impression only was left on her mind.

judge had said In speaking Of Mrs. Linley.

faith Herbert Linley had betrayed take hin

She paused, thinhi2g of the marriage tina

table was close to her; she looked absently
at her haggard face in the glass. What a
lost wretch she saw The generous impulses

of her wi~ckedncss; she was eager to sacrifice

Scientists have been very much puz-
zled to know why the Manx cat is not
provided with tail, like others of its
kind, and a great many theories have
been advanced to account for it. The
general opinion now seems to be that
the first ManX cats. living hundreds Of
years ago. sat down too much. That
sounds odd, doesn't it?
The soil of the Isle of Man ia very
damp. and the air, also. is full of moist
ure, and the early cats in sitting on
their launches acquired some disease
of the tail. so scientists think. and
gradually the tail disappeared entirely

Gus livelihood by looking for scraps OF
food accidentally left around.
II happened that the men always
kept bottle Of oil uncorked, and fas-
tened by n wire to n certain part of the
machinery. 1t was in constant use. One
e, lrng the thoughtful rat betook him
sell TO study OF this bottle 1t lay
open temptingly before him. Its con-
tents would make him fat and shiny,
and social leader among his COM
panions
Could he not get at the oil? He
scratched his head and thought hard
er. Then his thinking gave brilliant
result. He had a tail--whit use was he
making of it? This tail was an oppor-
tunity. and he had been wasting it,
but now he could use IT.
Immediately he inserted the long tnil
as far as il would go into the narrow
neck of the bottle and soaked it thor
oughly in oil. Then he withdrew IL and
licked the oil carefully from of it. Aft
err that he repeated the sauc process N
often as he felt hungry. \ little judi
ciously selected wood provided the
necessary solid element IN this diet. He
became fat and sleek and leader
among rats.
One day he was taking copious meal
of oil. when he realized that he had for
gotten his hereditary caution, aud that
man VAS watching him. The man
showed no sign Of attacking him, but
rather a pleased curiosity. and the rat
therefore stayed. The result OF this
uuccting was that in Tine the rat got
into the habit OF taking his meals in
the presence of the workmen. and that
to have killed so clever creature would
have been regarded as crime. He led
a happy life. and died of oil and years.
