The Spiders Appetite.

The spider has a tremendous appe-
tite, ard his gourmandizing defes all
human competition. A scientist who
carefully noted a spiders consumption
of food in 24 hours concluded that if
the spider were built proportionately
to the human scale he would eat at
daybreak approximately a small alli-
gator; at seven a. IN. a lamb; by nine
a. m, a young camelopard; by one
o'clock, sheep, and would finish up
with large pie, in which there were
12O birds. Yet, in spite of his enor-
nous appetite a spider has wonderful
power of refraining from food, and
one has been known to live for two
months when absolutely deprived of
food. A beetle lived in a similar state
of unrefreshment for three years.

tTo BE Continued
DETECTIVE WORK.
An Amateur Effort Which Made One
Mnn Dishonest md Let the
Guilty Escape.

''Some years ago." said Kensington
manufacturer of cloth, Il found that
my mill was being robbed; once or
twice month piece of finished goods
would disappear. AS the thefts were
all from the finishing room, suspicion
naturally pointed to the hands there,
and, after long while of amateur de-
tecting, l felt pretty sure l had my
man. Yet | had no evidence against
him, nor could |, to save my soul, get
hold of any. just suspected him, you
know. SO one pay day tested his hon
esty. On pay day, you must understand,
each hands money is given him in a
sealed envelope, on which is written his
time, his rate per hour and the amount
due. Well, there was due this man $12,
and in his envelope l put $22-ten dol
lars too much. As | had expected, he
said nothing. So | discharged him.
This man had worked for me eight
years. Times were hard and he lay idle
for eight or nine months, then moved
away with his family. Scarcely had he
moved away when the thefts, which
had ceased for nearly year, began once
more. Once more | turned detective.
This time with better luck, for | caught
the thief. and | traced every piece of
cloth he had stolen. The man discharged
was innocent, save in the case of the
ten dollars" One of the manufactur-
er's small audience spoke gravely:
Yes, you did clever thing. You made
thief of an honest man. You placed
in an honest mans way an almost un-
conquerable temptation, when one con
siders the size of the salary you paid
him. The man fell because you tripped
him up. The Bible, think, says some
thing somewhere about such deeds, and
you are promised your reward. Phil

CHAPTER TX.
THE MASTER-GENERAL.

In the labyrinth of narrow streets,
crooked roads and blind alleys behind
the Palais de Justice, where the houses
are so crowded that they seem to climb
one over the other in their efforts to
reach higher and higher in their search
for air, is small street called the Rue
des Deux Mondes. 1t had this advan-
| tage that it was wider than most of the
other roads in that part of Paris, and
opened out abruptly on to the river
| face, very nearly opposite the upper
| portion of the Pont Neuf, then under
| course of construction, but not to be
| finished for some years later. At the
| corner of the street, and overlooking
| the river, the Pont Neuf, the Passeur
| aux Vaches, with a glimpse of the
| Quai Malaquais and the mansions of
| the Faubourg st. Germain was house
of modern size, kept and owned by a
Maitre Pantin, who was engaged nom
inally in some legal business in the
| courts of the city.
1t was this house of Maitre Pantin, it
Will be remembered, that had been rec
| commended to me as a lodging by Palm,
who told me of the owners occupation,
and when / demurred on account of my
religious convictions the IIuguenot
| pointed out that | had to do things in
! Paris which required a safe retreat and
that he could vouch for the honesty and
discretion of Pantin. | admitted that
! his arguments were reasonable, and re-
solved to take advantage of his recon-
| mendation.
We rode into Paris by the st. Ger
mains gate, and | was Immediately
struck by the aspect of gloom that the
city wore. Most of the shops were in
deed open, but there appeared to be no
| business doing, and, instead of men
| hurrying backward and forward, the
streets were filed with groups of peo-
pie evidently engaged in discussing
some affair of the utmost moment.
| Every third or fourth man wore black
scarf over his right arm, and the bells
of the churches were tolling dismally
for the dead. From St. German des
| Pres, from St. Severin, from the airy
spire of Ste Chapelle, they called out
mournfully, and above them all, drown
ing the distant voices of St. Germain
IAuxerrois, St. Jacques de la Boucherie.
ST. Antoine and others less known tc
fame pealed out the solemn notes of the
bourbon of Notre Dame.
Near the Pre-auX-clercs hundreds of
| long-robed students were assembled
and the windows of many of the great
houses, including the Logis de Nevers,
We're hung with black. 1t was strange
to see Paris, always so bright and gay,
with this solemn air upon it. No notice
was taken of us as we rode on, the
knots Of people merely moving aside to
let us pass, and answering Jacques
cheerful "good-day'' with a silent incli-
nation of the head or a chill indiffer-
euce.

kept off the road as far as possible
to avoid being tracked. Even if no
further attempt to follow me was made
tonight, which was uncertain, as de
Gomeron was not the man to let the
barest chance slip through his fingers,
vet there was no doubt as to what would
happen on the morrow. | congratu-
lated myself on having crippled the last

would be placed thereby in difficulty

THOMAS B. ALDRICH.
An American Author on Whom For
tune Has Smiled.
Although 63 Years of Age He Looks
Like "A Comparatively Young Man
His Career as an Editor
and Litterateur.

II is a matter of regret to lovers or
pure and undefiled English that so lit
tie new work comes from the pen of
Thomas Bailey Aldrich in these later
days. His style is equaled by few
writer's of prose and poetry, and it is
not because he has lost his hold en- the
reading public that any thing new from
his pen is rarely seen.
Although he is now in his sixty-third
year. having been born on November
II, 1886, his friends do not regard AL
drich as an old man nor does he look
like one. To see him coming down the
steps of his handsome Mt. Vernon
street house on Beacon Hill IN Bosto on
one would guess him to be nearer SO
than 63 years of age. Al,."vs careful in
every detail of dress, he presents a
marked contrast to the average liter
airy man." who is generally inclired 10
carelessness in this respect. 1t is prob
ably true that Aldrich is the best
"groomed" writer in Boston, and it is
certainly true that few writers in Bos-
ton or any other city have the long
purse that the gods have vouchsafed TO
Thomas Bailey Aldrich. When his life
long friend, Hon. Henry L. Pierce. the
multi-millionaire died about two years
ago, he bequeathed Mr.. and Mrs. AL
drich the comfortable little fortune Of
100000 each, and to each of their twin
sons he willed a similar sum.
Aldrich's books are greatly in de-
mand and his royalties must amount to
many thousands a year, while few

CUAPTER \II.-CONTINUED.

He was a good swOrdsman, but this
made him beside himself with passion,
and this frantic state and the sound of
his voice as he kept cursing me, told
me that my opponent was none other
than Biron himself. Now came seri-
Gus difficulty, which | had to consider
like lightning. Did / kill him, and he
was an infant in my hands, there could
be 10 hope for me-he was too great
too highly placed for me to have any
chance if | compassed his death. There
fore as | pressed him, called out loud
enough for him to hear Marshal, you
are mad; go back-you are known to
me-"
He thrust at me for answer, but |
could stand no more nonsense, and, get
ting within his guard, struck him off
his horse with a blow from the hilt of
my sword, and, wasting not second
more on him, turned to the assistance
of Nicholas.
II was much needed, for the SER
geaHt's opponent was none other than
de Gomeron himself. How Nicholas
held his own against this finished
swordsman for even so long a period
as half minute, | am unable to say. 1t
was doubtless due to the strength of his
bitter hatred and his fury for re-
venge. Even as it was | was too late.
AS dashed towards him Nicholas fair
ly screamed out:
leave him to me-he is-a-ah!"
He never finished, for de Gomeron
saw his chance, and passed his sword
through the sergeant's throat, and he
fell Imply from Couronne, dead
man.
BEFORE, however, the free lance could
recover himself, | was on him, and
standing in my stirrups, cut at him with
the full swing of my sword. He
parried like lightning, but the force
Of the blow beat down his guard
