Instead of rapping, the landlady
grasped the knob with her bony, de-
termined hand and ratified it roughly.
In reply came tart little bark and
gentle voice
Yes, Mrs. Siefke. Come in
Mrs. Siefke did not come in, though.
She crashed open the door, wounding
its varnish on Lois trunk.
"Packed?" she inquired.
mo, no, l haven't packed" the girl
replied nervously, while the fox ter
rier grumbled. 81 can make it all right
by this evening. I'm sure 1 can, Mrs.
Siefke."

evenin'S. What you lookin' for now ?"
Lois pointed proudly to the array on
the cot
e"These are the best I've done," she
said. 'I'm going downtown with them
now"
The landlady, her bony hands firmly
clasping her hips, said "Humphp
Then she added:
"Tonights your last chance Settle
or leave" She trod away down the
hall, walking heavily on her heels as
| always.
Lois choked little. But when she
turned back to the cot her pride prick
ed up.
aren't they beautiful, Holy Ter
ror?" she said. 'Mrs. Siefke doesn't
know anything about art.''
The terrier jumped upon the cot and
burst into a spasm Of glowing barks
over them. His ears were up and his
stub of tail quivered.
They were all the work of her hands,
and Terror shifted them lovingly, trac-
ing her in every one. They were the
high water mark of her artistic ambi-
tion-couch cushions and opera bags
and book covers and photograph
frames, all of leather, wrought in elab-
crate designs by burning. On the book
covers were outlined willowy ladies,
who appeared to be absorbed in their
reading. The photograph frames and
the opera bags were etched in wreaths

ShelIfish as Traps.

The familiar story of a mouse being
trapped by live oyster, though Curl
GUS, is not the only instance of the
kind. The great naturalist Frank
Buckland records the story of rat
which was caught by the same appar-
emily harmless shellfish. Some years
ago a common rail was found dead on
the shores near Penzance. Its beak
was tightly caught in the clutches Of
an oyster, which was still alive. The
bird and oyster were removed and
mounted. An even more queer case
was that of small salt water fish
which was found in a pool in the rocks
caught firmly by an immense mussel.
One would think that the mussel must
have been pretty sharp in closing his
shell. A story is told of a colored man
who was caught in a similar fashion.
He put his tongue into a half opened
oyster to get the juice, and the oyster
caught him tight by the tongue. Ju-
piter when released was chaffed by
his friends. "Why, the oyster couldn't
have hurt you," said one, "for he hasn't
any teeth" NO" replied Jupiter;
''mebbe not, but de Lawd knows dat
he have turrible hard gumsr'

of brilliant green leather, and in it's
center, in deep black burning and vivid
water color, was a life sized portrait
of Holy Terror. This was her master
piece.
eve can't fail to make money from
these, can we, Terror" she said.
We've worked so hard over them"
1t was true that they had worked
together. Ever since she had set out
to make typography her life work Ter
ror had helped her. All the prepara-
tions were watched critically by him,
and as soon as the hot point began to
move over the stamped design his Ia
Dor commenced. Every line and curve
and dot of the etching he followed with
his busy strawberry nose, the same
nose that had frightened away the
bench show prize.
Il like strawberry noses much better
than black, Terror" Lois told him
when she took him home detected. 1t
was the only time in his life that he
had ever placed his stub of a tail at
half mast; he knew bitterly well that
he had failed.
When the portrait, the masterpiece,
was being etched, he had spent days
Of exultation.
'Do you think it's like you, Terror ~
At moments she feared it was only
the green leather that pleased him so
nightly, for green was his favorite
color. But it must be that he knew,
she reassured herself. At any rate
his nose followed the hot point like a
sleuth's and whenever the point stop
ped he would raise his head and bark
"Hurrahw in two sharp yaps.
When the etching of Holy Terror
outline was done, Lois painted in his
spots of black and white, and with a
final tender and brilliant carmine touch
she colored the strawberry nose
"Take a last look at your portrait, -
she said to him now.
She laid the articles in a neat box
and wrapped and tied it. Then she

Brave Japanese Fishermen.

The japanese as a race are fearless.
This is evidenced by the hazardous oc-
cupation of the little brown men who
earn living far from the rocky coast
lines of the island. One of the chief
articles of diet in Japan is fish. To
secure it for the market the Japanese
go many miles from land in their tiny
craft which to those who do not I'M
derstand their strength and buoyancy
look as though any ordinary wave
would capsize them. These Japanese
go 200 and 300 miles at sea to catch
fish. Each year the shores of the is
lands are strewn with wreckage from
the boats, while the sea gives up the
bodies of the brave men who were
caught in the fearful typhoons which
sweep around this corner of the earth.
Then, again, the ocean liners take the
lives of many of these doughty Japa-
nese. There is never a diminution in
the numbers of the fleet.
