The start of the whole matter was
the lodging of a complaint at Scotland
Yard by well known jeweler doing
business ON the Strand. He had miss
ed two diamond rings from n tray he
had been exhibiting to several lady Gus
toners, but unfortunately for him the
gems had been gone an hour perhaps
before he knew that deft fingers had
purloined them under his very eyes.
He could recall the names Of four or
five ladies, and he headed the list with
the name of a marquis wife, but the
inspector on duty might well smile and
turn away at that. Had the jeweler
not been in such a perturbed state Of
mind he would never have included
that name. Indeed, before he left the
place he apologized, partly to himself,
for having given any names at all, as
it was utterly absurd to suspect any of

A Queer Little PET.

One of the queerest little pets ever
seen is the tame ant belonging to a
well known scientist. This man keeps
tribes of ants in nests which he has
made himself, and feeds them with
honey or sugar through tube that
connects with the nests. One day he
saw that one of the ants kept coming
into the tube to eat up the honey In
the glass bulb ut the end. When he
took out the cork that closed the bulb,
the insect came to look for food, and
he offered 1t some honey on the point
of needle. The ant shrank back at
first, then drew nearer, feeling about
with its antennae, until 1t reached the
needle. Soon it learned TO take the
honey off its keepers finger, although
ants are among the most timid of liv-
ing things, and new odor, or the
least movement outside their nests,
usually drives these little insects
away.
This ant Is now so tame that It quits
the bulb as soon ns the cork Is re-
moved and goes TO find the honey on
the scientists finger. When It's meal
is over it does not try to hurry away,
but waits till its master lifts it on n
bristle and carries it back to its nest
