Frigate Birds.

The frigate bird far surpasses all
others in its powers of fight, mas
much as, except at the breeding season
1t seldom visits the land. and is never
seen to swim or rest on the waters.
An American naturalist, Mr.. Lancas-
ter, who spent several years in study
ing the habits of this and other birds,
states that the frigate bird can live
in the air for a week at time, night
and day, without once perching or
resting. He found these birds able,
with ease. to go 100 miles an hour.
The alabatross has followed the course
of ship for several days without be-
ing known to take rest. The swift
is another bird which is almost con-
tinually on the wing, and never set
ties on the ground or on trees.

BUNCH OF KEYS.

From the pitch black interior Of the
freight elevator Mollie Carton re-
viewed the situation.
1t was worth reviewing, being, as
situations go, unique
In the first place, no young woman
Df sound mind sits in a freight ele-
Vator at midnight attired In a dinner
gown as a mere pastme Add to this
The fact that the painfully new and
luyielding ropes by which the lift was
propelled were being pulled upon
BY the clerk from the neighboring
irng store-awakened from a sound
sleep for the purpose-and 1t will
readily be seen that something I'M
Usual had happened in the Carton
family.
At that moment when the drug
clerk was pulling Mollie with infinite
pains toward the fifth floor, rear, of
the apartment building in which the
Cartons had the pleasure of residing,
Mrs. Carton sat wringing her hands
and calling upon heaven to save her
child upon the front stairs. To be ex-
act, 1t was upon the first step of the
fourth flight of stairs she sat. Which
should make it evident to everybody
that she was conducting her lamenta-
ton just outside her own door. She
sat outside not from choice, but be-
cause she couldn't help herself.
In short, she was locked out And
SO was Molle.
SO was the drug clerk, for that mat
ter, but the fifth apartment in the
'Brunhilda," not being his abiding
place, he did not take it to heart as
Mrs. Carton did. Having known the
Cartons for only twenty minutes, his
interest in the matter was as yet
professional.
But perhaps it would be better to
begin at the beginning.
Be 1t known, then, that Mrs Carton
and her daughter had been giving a
little dinner that evening The guests
had stopped on rather late, and the
Janitor, after the manner of his kind,
having put the lights out early. Mol
lie stepped into the hall to light the
gas, that her friends might find their
way down the winding stairs in COM
fort. Mrs. Carton followed her, and
together they sped the parting diners.
While they were thus engrossed, the
door-lheir own treacherous front
door-impelled by slight draft, or by
what somebody has called the total
depravity of inanimate things. clicked

1t was obviously impossible to go t.

Besides, they had no money. They

| Mrs. Carton entertained a mental Wis
ion of a night spent upon the street
or at best in a drafty hallway. She
sank down upon the stairs, overcome
She also wept.
But Mollie was young, and youth is
ever resourceful Also, she had a keen
sense of humor. Although she didn't
dare let her mother know it, she was
amused. AT all events, the situation
savored of adventure. and an oppor-
tunity for adventure is not to be light
~ dlsregarded, even If 1t does involve
a little discomfort. She patted her
mothers shoulder soothingly.
There, there. Don't cry, dear. The
ianitor is sure to have a skeleton key
I'll run down and get it."
But the janitor hadn't any such
thing. Moreover, he resented being
disturbed. He was a Woodworking
man, he said, and nights sleep was
about all he got out of life aside from
three meals daily. Why didn't the
young lady go wake up the landlord.
Landlords had an easy time All they
had to do was collect rents. They
were just made to be walked up. They
liked it,
Fortunately the landlord lived
across the street. So wrapping Mrs
Janitor's shawl about her, Mollie went
forth to wake the landlord.
notwithstanding his rent-collecting
habit. the landlord seemed to share
the janitor's views on the subject of
sleep. He hadn't a duplicate key. he
informed her, after at last he had been
awakened and appeared at an upper
He seemed TO Mollie to gloat
over the fact. He intimated that his
business was renting apartments, not
running other peoples domestic at
fairs.
But can't you suggest something?"
Mollie cried, desperately I'VE must

He suggested the drug clerk on the.
corner, who had big bunch of keys,
might be able to open the door, and
then he shut the window.
The drug clerk was asleep. too, and
hafd to rouse, but at last opened the
door wide. Upon perceiving a Young
woman. however, he shut it again

might not be too apparent leaving,
however, crack wide enough for con
