Guess he'll be daown ter the dock
ter see us come in. He's in er mighty
big bury erbaout this ere bunch of
lumber. Bin telegraphin' and raisin'
blazes erbaout it,
Seymour changed the subject. He
was so elated that he felt like climb
ing the shrouds, and yelling like a
Comanche Indian. The one thing
which worried him was whether or
not he had told Bender anything
about Hestor during the preceding
evening. The look of panied surprise
on Bender's face, when his ankle
felt the impact of Seymour's foot,
was evidence that he knew nothing
of Hestor Or his completely in the
millionaire mystery.
Seymour vented his Joy and con-
cealed his triumph in songl The
temptation to celebrate in drink was
strong, but his repentance was sin
cere and his determination to reform
was earnest. So he sang. AS vo-
calist, Mr.. Seymour was handicapped
by the circumstance that he knew
neither the words nor the tune to
any song. What he lacked in tech
nlque was recompensed in energy.
His first effort, as expressed in
words, was about as follows:
''Yo no, my lads, the wind blows free;
A pleasant gale is on the se-a-a,
And here we rumte de tie tum,
Ra lie dada, te dunn, dunn, dunn,
And ere we part from England's shore
tonight,
A song We'll sing to home da rumty Digit
Then here's to the sailor,
Here's to his heart so true (sing there,
BenderD
Who will think of him upon the waters
blu-u-u-ue.
(All together)
Sailing, sailing, over the mountain main;
And many a stormy wind shall blow 'era
Jack comes home again.
Sailing, sailing, der rumty, dunn de dain,
And many a stormy wind shall
Ablo-o-o-o-ow
Ere Jack comes ho-o-ome a-a-a-again!"
The negro cook stood in the COM
panion-way and joined in the chorus
with a deep baritone, which did
much to neutralize the rather harsh
tenor of the eager Seymour, and the
uncertain bass of Mr.. Dick Bender.
Capt. Parker did not sing, but was
liberal in his applause.

How jacques TissOt Painted.

An interesting story is told of
Jacques Tissot, the great French
painter, lately deceased. While in
England he painted beautiful rei-
gious picture and, meeting country
woman, asked her opinion of his
work. Its chef d'oeuvre," she re-
piled, giving remarkably just and
detailed appreciation of the various
merits of the painting. care You
satisfied" asked friend. Tissot an.
swered in the negative. He entirely
repainted his picture, working night
and day.
When finished he sent for his fair
critic, who pronounced it admir-
able," and remained silently admiring
it with smiling criticism. care you
satisfied?" asked the friend again
when the lady departed. NO." an
swered the artist, and set to work
for the third time.
When the Parisienne saw the new
painting she gazed at it for some mo-
ments with evident emotion and then
without word sank softly to her
knees and began tof pray. ''Are you
satisfied now?" whispered the friend.
And Tissot said, Yes

EXPERIMENT WITH DOGS.
Tests Made by English Scientist Dem
Onstrate That CANNES Have
No Reasoning Power.

A number OF experiments have been
tried with cats to discover whether
they possessed reasoning power, but
the results have been indecisive or neg
ative. An English college professor,
| Alexander Hill, has been making a
similar investigation in regard to dogs.
Up to the present time he has worked
with only single animal. He de-
scribes in Nature what he did, and eX-
presses the hope that other persons
will initiate his example and report
their successes to him.
An exceptionally intelligent fox ter
rier was selected for the experiment..
He was FIRST taught the trick of open
ing a box by lifting wooden latch
with his nose. When he had mastered
the art, spring on the door was stiff
fened so that there would be no dan
ger of the latter opening by accident.
This was not serious obstacle, but
it required deliberate effort. AS
food was given in reward for success
"a common practice in training ami
mals-the dog would usually open the
door without instructions when he
had chance. Sometimes he would ex-
anime the interior, but no food was
ever placed there until the time came
for the final tests
One day, when he had been sent sup
PEERLESS to bed the previous night, he
was allowed to stroll into yard with
which he was familiar, and where a
hot grilled bone had been placed in
the box. He scented the object and
dashed toward the box. Possibly be-
cause the smell distracted his atten-
ton, he showed only a slight DISPOSE
ton to perform his old trick. He
placed his nose under the latch, but
withdrew it without lifting. After

A Modern Cannery.

A modern cannery is a marvel of me-
chanical ingenuity. After the fish is
cleaned, automatic machines do near
" all the remainder of the work, even,
in some instances, filing the cans
with a motion for all the world like
that of two human hands, one holding
the can, the other crowding it full of
raw fish. / shall not attempt to en-
ter into a description of the ma
chinery; the can of fish is started roll
ing on its way, and one has the impress
sion that it continues to roll through
machine after machine, hardly touched
by human hands. 1t rolls into the
cooker and out again-even rolls itself
into a bright-eolored lakeland final
ly, somehow rolls into s.packing box,
ready to be loaded in the car waiting
at the door.

The Dove and the Cat.

Maj. Shattuck of the signal corps
tells an amusing story of an old-time
religious revival" meeting at negro
church near Savannah. In order that
the revival spirit might be quickened
it was arranged that the preacher
should give signal when he thought
the excitement was highest, and from
the attic, through hole cut in the
ceiling directly over the pulpit, the
white dove, whose fight around the
church and over the heads of the au-
dience was expected to have an in
spring effect, and as far as emotion
al excitement was concerned, to cap
the climax. All went well at the
start; the church was packed; the
preachers text was SIN the form of
dove" and as he piled up his elo-
quent periods the excitement was
strong. Then the opportune moment
arrived-the signal was given-and
the packed audience was scared out
of it's wits on looking up to the cell
ing and beholding a cat, with
clothes line around it's middle, yowl-
ing and splitting, being slowly lower
ed over the preachers head. The
preacher called out to the sexton in
the attic: "Whar's de dove?" And
the sections voice came down
through the opening so you could
hear it block: "Inside de cat!"

Couldn't Get Hang of 1t.

Bridget and Norah Murphy, fresh
from the mosquitoes of Ellis Island,
had set out to make their return
calls on their cousins, the McGooli-
gans, at service in an aristocratic
part of the city. Upon arriving at
the house, instead of being confront
ed by the usual bell knob, nothing
but stingy, mean apology of knob
in the shape of q little black button
met them. Bridget got hold of the
button and gave it pull, but her
fingers slipped before there was any
audible ring from within. Again and
again she tried with the same result,
until she turned the knob over to
Monte" Then the latter yanked and
twisted without success, until both
stood on the landing gazing helpless
ly at each other. Then light came to
Bridget.

"You and Bill hove in sight about
six o'clock this mornin'," said Capt.
Parker, as he passed the steak to
Seymour for the third time. "Of

awhile, clum out on Their bowsprit,

went below. That's all thar is tew
it, and Capt. Parker laughed with
vigor hearty and pleasing.
'From early childhood I have
longed to go to Havana" said Mr..
Seymour. 'Why 1 should select this
special time is not readily apparent,
but it is well. Cheer up, Bender!
Parker and his gallant crew.
Having done ample justice to the
food before them, the yoyagers fol
lowed Capt. Parker to the deck of
the vessel. The "Sam Walker was
large, three-masted schooner. They
found seats on the after deck. A
big Swede stood at the wheel, and
lazily revolved it as the fresh breeze
came in irregular gusts from the
southwest. The air was fragrant with
the odor of newly-sawed lumber, and
Seymour noticed, for the first time,
that the decks between the masts
were piled high with timber.
"Hev seegar," said Capt. Parker,
passing box to Mr.. Seymour. Il
kin afford to be generous, SEEM as
how you bought 'em. You gave me
twenty dollars and told me to buy

you'll find them all right"
"You seem to be in the lumber
trade,'' said Seymour, as he took a
cigar and passed the box to Dick
Bender.
Yes, 1 haul right smart of lum-
Der an stuff in the course of
year." said Capt. Parker. Like all
New England Yankees who live in
southern states, his dialect was a
mixture of northern and southern
idioms.
"You must know some contract
ors," said Seymour. though his field
of detective endeavor was limited to
the area of lumber hooker" on
the broad eXpanse of the Gulf of
Mexico, the newspaper instinct was
strong within him.

pride. 1.-THE Sam Walker has car

'Did you ever carry any lumber for
a man named Walter B. Hestor?"
asked Seymour. Talk about your

himself, "this certainly is one of
them"
''Hestor?" said Capt. Parker re-
fectively. 'Hestor? Thar amt no

Seymour. HE is New York million

forward in his excitement.

The first mate was talking with

over and joined the group when Capt.
Parker called him.
''What wuz Their name of that dude
who owned the 'Shark'?'' he asked.
''You know who 1 mean. The one

temptation to yell almost over
whelmed him.
