A thick jawed, athletic looking man
followed Faldis.
him the moment he stepped out of the
bank. ! judged that thief rightly"
Late that night, Lingar and Johnson
were going over the books when a
knock came to the door of the bank.
At signal to the watchman, the door
was opened, and the thick-jawed, ath
letic looking shadow entered. He had
a bandage over one eye.
Whats this?" cried Lingar.
He had me done up"
"Who-what?"
Your man, Faldis. He hired a half
dozen Interstate Detective agency
men 10 slug me-"
And he got away?"
"Of course, but our Office and all OF
our men are notified and every depot
is watched. Oh, he can't set away for
good"
When Lingar was alone in his car
riage driving home, he gave way to
his anguish and groaned aloud. He
was realizing the enormity OF the theft
that had at first stunned him. When
he reached home the butler who swung
open the door Ior him was in furry
OF excitement. He took off his hat
and gloves and overcoat and threw
them, rather than handed them to the
servant. He strayed into the parlor
and drawing room and had reached
the wide door to the library when he
topped, tottered and clutched the por-
L.eres for support.
"Faldis!" he shrieked.
The butler. who had hovered near
rushed to his side.
"Robber! In my house! Quick,
Percy, sound the alarm!"
No, no, papa. wait. Listen to me-"
and Ethyl ran to him and put her arms
around his neck. while the quick
hands Of the butler were obeying the
masters orders.
MY daughter-my child-are you
interceding for this thief?"
Eyes, but We will confess all. Now
can you not forgive us?"
I'VE will confess! We! what do
you mean? What part can you have
in it?"
What part have I in it?" she said
slowly. do you think papa, that am
insensible to my own hearts desire? I?
| had the eager part of one who loves.
He has robbed my poor dear papa,
know-robbed him of his darling
daughter" And, running to Faldis,
she threw her arms around his neck
and kissed lin repeatedly.
The changing of brass gong sound
ed in the street. followed by a rush
of feet up the steps. The butler threw
open the door and four policemen in
uniform rushed in.
What's the matter, Mr.. Lingar?"
asked the sergeant OF the police.
Arrest that man"
Ethyl swooned in Faldis' arms.
Wouldn't you better have an ex-
planation first?" asked Faldis coolly.
Explanation? What can you say
in explanation?"
Let us excuse these officers first"
Lingar looked at Faldis for some
time. then turning to the police he
asked them to step out in the hall for
awhile.
You are a man of sense, so listen.

Carlos Of the Sea
Peculiar Abundant
Bay Naples.

One of the most curious forms of
life hauled up by the nets OF the Naples
fishermen are sea cucumbers"-slug
shaped bodies about the size and shape
of the vegetables of that name of "A
pulpy aesh covered with leathery
skin and small calcareous scales of
carbonate of lime. They belong to the
same family as the starfish and sea
urchins, and feed on small crabs and
other floating animal life that they
can capture. They have no teeth, but
the walls of their alimentary canals
secrete strong juices that kill and dis
solve the fbers of the animals which
have been caught with their sucker
feet and brought to their mouths.
They suck in the sand and mud and
digest the nourishing particles while
those which are of no use to them are
rejected. Sea cucumbers are very com
mon in the Bay of Naples, and are
often found more than foot long. One
variety, known as the "cucumari plan
ci," has a tail. When the animal is
alive the tentacles of the tail are soft
and pliable and adhere to the rock,
/ but with death they harden like the
ar~5 of starfish and the spines of sea
urchins, with which we are more ia
miliar.
The Bay of Naples abounds in medu-
sac, or Jelly fish, as we call them, often
growing as large as two feet in diam.

pounds. Some of them shine at night

as "noctiluca" might lanterns) by the

make migrations in great groups

to get rid of your detective so that /
could put the money away safely for
future emergencies. The third care
ful thing | did to save me from the
penitentiary was to marry your
daughter"
Lingar stared at him dazed and va
cantly, but waited for him to continue.
Now | hardly think that you want
to put the bank TO the expense of a
quarter of a million dollars Just TO
make a convict of your son-in- Jaw"
But the money! Where Is it?"
"Oh, that is put away where no one
but me can get It, all except 81 900
that paid to have your detective
taken off my trail. l can turn over to
you S249 900, or | can keep it."
Lingar was silent, his brows con-
tracted.
"Of course, you lave not talked
much about this for the sake of the
bank | have not mentioned it even
to my wife. So you see we can still
avoid publicity"
Without a word to Faldis, Lingar
walked slowly out to the hall. The
policemen went away. He returned TO
the library. Ethyl had recovered.
''Oh, papa, you will forgive us, won't
you?' she sobbed.
What else can | do. my child?" he
said, taking her in his arms.

HAS A CURIOUS TRANSPORTATION.
The Axolotl Becomes Another Animal
in Certain Localities.

The Axolot Becomes Another Animal
in Certain Localities.
Naturalists have long been familiar
with a newt-like creature, breathing
by gills and lungs both, and inhabit-
ing the lakes Of Mexico and other Am
erican waters. This is the axolo' II
was also discovered that in certain
localities this creature, which by the
way breeds freely in Mexico, sheds its
skin, casts off its gills and its tail
fin, develops another color of body and
leaves the water to become a land
newt. Under this latter guise 1t is
known as the amblystoma.
Naturally, the explanation of this
curious transformation rests on the
fact that the axolotl is really the
young or tadpole stage of the ambly
stoma form, but the popularity here
is that in its first stage it should
breed and multiply and continue to
reproduce axolotls, as if it were a per-
fectly mature animal. The occurrence
of such cases points out to us one
way in which species can be evolved,
for, had we not been acquainted with
the relationship Of these forms, no
body would have hesitated to des-
cribe them as two essentially distinct
animals.
Lately it has been shown. says the
London Chronicle, that, while in Colo
RADIO and Dakota the transformation
is complete, in Mexico the axolotl
stage is apparently permanent. Here
probably, the influence of environ
ment on a living being is typically
illustrated.

Another Characteristic is n sac filled

which can be discharged instantly into
the water. A small quantity will Gre
ate a black cloud sufficient to envelop
the animal and allow it to escape from
its pursuer. This ink is extracted,
dried and sold to artists. 1t is the
sepia with which pictures are painted.
The cuttlehsh is quite an article OF
commerce in Naples, for, in addition
to the sepia. the backbone is used for
polishing wood, as tooth powder and
for sharpening the bills of canary
birds.
Both the cuttlefsh and the octopus
grow to a large size and many horri-
flying legends are told of them.

Light Dl,colors Gems.

The discoloration Of precious stones
when they have been exposed to the air
for long time Is well known. Emer-
aids, rubies and sapphires are less SUE
ceptible to atmospheric influence, but
even they, says the Tatier. are not ex-
empt from change. If two rubies of
the same size and shade are kept for,
say, two years, one in showcase and
the other in absolute darkness, an ex-
animation of the stones at the end OF
that time will invariably show that the
showcase ruby has become distinctly
lighter in color. The most sensitive
of all stones TO variations in light is
the opal. This stone draws it's mar
velous rainbow reflections from nu-
merous little clefts, which allow the
light to pass and reflect ii in different
directions. Often the opal stands the
manipulation of cutting and polishing
well, and all cf sudden it splits.

much shorter than those of the octo-
pus, but they do business very much in
the same way. The chief characters
tic of the cuttlefsh are its ability to
hide itself and to change its color at
will and in the transparent water of
the bay of Naples the wonderful play
of tints in the living animal is very
much admired. This change in color
is due to large cells in the skin which
are filled with fluids. As the cells con
tract or expand the colors OF the fluids
change and grow lighter or darker
like the blush upon the cheek of u
maiden, and give the animal an opal.

old staff stuck into a crack. Near its
top was nailed a small card, on which
in plain type, was printed: James

PRINCE HENRY's AUTOGRAPHS FEW
Many Efforts Made to Cot Them. but
Few Were Successful

Few Were Successful.
Prince Henry, while here, was nat
urally asked often for his autograph
but it il estimated that not more than
100 persons succeeded in getting it.
Most of the requests came by mail.
The prince. who had met the auto
graph fiends on the other side. decid-
ed to give his autograph only to GER
tain individuals. These were the
president of a society or club of
which he was the guest, and one or
two of those nearest him at table. To
this rule he persistently adhered.
At all the dinners at which the
prince was a guest, in this city and
elsewhere, requests for his autograph
were sent to him in large numbers,
most of them in notes addressed to
him through the presiding officer. Not
few OF these requests were made
personally.
The prince always took pains to in
form whoever presided at the dinner
of the rule he had made, and left it to
him to explain it to the applicants.
In accordance with the rule he made
for himself, he always wrote his auto
graph on the menu card of the presid-
ing officer. and of those nearest him
at table, sometimes extending 1t so
that perhaps five or six persons had
the favor shown to them at the head
table.
Had he complied with all the re-
quests made, it was said by a person
who was with him and knew about
his mail, he would not have had time
to do anything else throughout his
visit but write his signature.-New

PARIS GREEN AND LADY BUGS.
Dscision of Kentucky Judge in =
Curious Case.

DUcA1Aoh oI VuOGo =
Curious Case.
Judge Sterling b. Toney of the cir
cult court of Jefferson county, Ken
tuck, recently rendered an opinion in
a curious case. A man was employed
last July to sprinkle paris green on
potato vines to kill lady bugs, and on
account Of the heat he opened his shirt
with the result that he was poison
ed by the paris green. He sued his
employer, who entered demurrer to
the petition, and the learned Judge sus-
tanned the demurrer for the following
reasons. The plaintiff had no right in
fofo conscientiae or in foro externo, to
make an indecent exposure of his per-
son while killing lady bugs; the plain
tiff exceeded the scope of his employ
ment in sprinkling paris green else
where than on the potato vines, and
his special and exclusive agency was
to kill lady bugs basking in the shade
of said potato vines; the plaintiffs act
in allowing the defendants paris
green to come in contact with his flesh,
instead of with the flesh of the lady
bugs, was unauthorized and ultra
wires; the mental and physical suffer-
ing Of which the plaintiff complains
was the result of his own wrong in
misapplying the defendants paris
green to purposes other than those for
which he was employed to apply 1t.
and, besides, in damnum absque in
juria; the plaintiff. in opening his
clothes and exposing himself to the
lady bugs and the paris green, was
guilty Of contributory negligence; the
plaintiff knew as well as the defendant
that paris green was poisonous, and il
he did not know that paris green was
poisonous. then this suit should not
have been brought in his name, but by
a committee appointed to represent
him.
