These and other facts OF public IN

plain 90 a News representative dur

the captain speaks from experience.
That will be conceded when It is known
that he has been a sailor upon the lake
for the past 81 yeats. When asked TO
state how he took to aquatics he smiled
the query, why does a duck take 10

fact that she is double hulled. Alto

boat, and one in which the captain and

tried to answer gayly, and h gave
him her hand and said, A revoir."
1t was three days later that she came
upon a knot of men in the. billiard
DON talking excitedly.
mo, it isn't mere newspaper talk
l tell you l telephoned to the exchange
for the facts. Oldham & Grayling
failed and four smaller firms have gone
down with them"
Millicent slipped away and tried, to
telephone the office of Oldham & Gray
ling, but central assured her rather
raspily that No one answered"
She sent a telegram-"So sorry. Wish
I could do something, Answer'-to his
club. There was no reply.
The papers had no reassuring news
for her. "Messrs. Oldham & Grayling
spent the night in their Office in con-
ference with friends. They hope to be
able to prevent loss for their patrons"
For three days and nights the firm
never left their Office. At the end of
that time 1t was announced that while
the firm of bankers and k had
failed, borne down by an overwhelming
tide Of disaster, it would pay all it's
debts.
Following this announcement came
the news tina Howard Oldham, eX-
hausted by the terrible vigil, was an
gerously Ill in his rooms at the club.
Miss Shattuck took the next train for
the city, taking with her an elderly
lady and dependent relative, whose
arliability was in inverse ratio to her
funds. SO was a most obliging chaperon.
They drove to the alum club.
1T is not necessary to take my card
to Mr.. Oldham. Tell the nurse it is his
finance and that she must see him."
The boy returned after five minutes,
his freckled face bearing an insolent
grin.

said. He told me to tell you he amt
engaged to anybody
Millicent started to her carriage. The
Tip"
Maybe he's a little off in his head"
he said confidentially.
NO" said Millicent in a low voice
to the dependent relative. He is
right"
She called again that evening and
sent up her card. She was at once ad-
mitted, though the nurse protested that
she must not excite him with the least
bad news and that she must say moth,
ing about business.
Millicent crossed the room and knelt
beside the bed. The h~alf-starved mai
stared at her. His face was wasted
and as eloquent Of the storm that hac
passed as a ravaged coast.
THANK you, Millicent. But yor
should not have done this"
Yes, I should, Howard, for I have
the right. We're engaged now If W.
were not this morning. Do say we are
Howard?"
The man smiled at the appealing fac
and the coaXing voice.
But, what about the army of CRANE
old maids?" he said weakly.

own way, and 1 in mine" She wa
firm.

Il shall never marry" said Millicent
Shattuck. That question is forever
settled"
An odd look of determination quite
out of with her gentle fea-
lures punctuated the sentence. She
was the flower of the unmer girl type,
except for that shadow of infeXible de-
termination. She was sitting in a ham
mock whose Roman stripes were a
brilliant background for the cloudy
%frou-frou of her half transparent white
gown, the snowflake suggestion of her
tiny hands and the adorable profile Of
her g;rlish face.
The man who sat at her feet on the
piazza steps locked tenderly at her,
with a half smile.

The PtarmIqan.

Philadelphia Public Ledger: The ptar-
migan, an inhabitant Of the Rockies an6
of Alaska, is one of the many birds which
change their color from brown to gray in
the summer months to snowy white in
the winter, so that In each case 1t iN
enabled to elude it's natural enemies BIZ
reason of it's close color resemblance to
its surroundings But unlike the majority
of its fellows who are provided with a
variable moult, the ptarmigan dons a dis
tinctive suit of clothing spring and fall as
we'll, making, all told, four changes in t.et
years course.
1t is told by E. r. Warren. a bird lorer
Of Butte, who has made of the ptarmigan
a special study, that when he had APP
preached q nest of mother and young for
the purpose of securing photographs with
the birds plainly in sight, he suddenly ttst
sight of them.
/ In a few moments the broods appeared
| again in the same spot where he had
marked it's nest before, both mother and
young birds with necks stretched as If
looking for something far above them in
the air. Several experiences Of the kind
induced Mr.. Warren also to look toward
the sky when the ptarmigan disappeared,
and he noticed invariably that some hawk
or other bird Of prey was sweeping in
wide circles not far from the ground.
The autumn plumage of the bird is a
mixture of brown and white, with the
latter becoming predominant as the APP
proach of winter dries up the grasses, and
at length covers the ground with its white
mantle. At this stage of the year 1t hap
pens that the ptarmigan becomes very
shy, is seldom seen out in the open, and
when away from cover does not allow
the near approach of the human, with
whom it has been very friendly during the
summer. The winter moult in completed
in November, and for some little time, I'M
til the snow has reached it's regular depth
of from two to five feet, the ptarmigan
is seen hardly at all, except as it comes
to water. But let the snow cover all
growing things near the ground, and the
ptarmigan comes out bravely again, and
in a way even more frienly than during
the summer months.
The ptarmigan finds its winter food In
the bud Of willow branches and moss
which flowing water has spared from the
snow. For the shaking of thirst it has
been known to eat snow, after the fash
ion of the small! boy coasting.
In contrast with the ways of the ptar
migan and other edible birds, attention Il
called to those of the crow, always blacl
and visible, but provided with a saving
odor of musk SO strong as to announces
to all the hawk and the eagle kind tina
