crocodile is a large animal that inhabits
the Nile and loves to go on the sandy
beach to bask in the sunshine and lay
eggs. 1t looks some like a dachshund,
only there is more of it at the ends, and
1t is bigger. There was crocodile
once that escaped from circus. 1t
roamed DER the country, seeking in
vain for pigs and small children to de-
YOUR, and died of starvation In great
anguish. You can ride on the back of a
crocodile, but it is more comfortable to
use a saddle. 1t is usually quiet, but
is terrible when reused. We all ought
to be thankful we are not a crocodile"

important research for the sake of 1t.
On Monday you will arrive early at

We had ascertained from the lady
that she went down upon the Monday
by the train which leaves Waterloo at

the scene Of the young lady's adven-
ture, for the road runs between the
open heath on one side and an old yew
hedge upon the other. surrounding a
trees. There was n main gateway Of
lichen studded stone. each side pillar
surmounted by moldering heraldic en-
blems, but besides this central car
riage drive l observed several points
where there were gaps In the hedge
and paths leading through them. The
house was invisible from the road, but
the surroundings all spoke Of gloom
and decay.
The heath was covered with golden
patches Of Towering gorse cleaning

my view.
A quarter Of an hour passed, and
then second cyclist appeared. This
time It was the young lady coming
from the station. saw her look about
her as she came to the Charlington
hedge. An instant later the man emery
ed from his hiding place. sprang upon
his cycle and followed her. In all the
broad landscape those were the only
moving figures, the graceful girl sit
ting very straight upon her machine
and the man behind her bending low
over his handle bar with curiously
furtive suggestion in every movement.
She looked back at him and slowed her
pace. He slowed also. She stopped.
lie at once stopped too. keeping 200
yards behind her. Her next movement
was as unexpected as 1t was spirited.
She suddenly whisked her wheels
round and dashed straight at him. He
was as quick Ms she, however and
darted Off in desperate fight. Present

head haughtily in the air, not deigning
to take any further notice Of her silent

was well that did SO, for presently
the man reappeared, cycling slowly
back. He turned in Mt the hail gates
and dismounted from his machine. For
some minutes I could sec him standing
among the trees. His hands were
raised, and he seemed to he settling
his necktle. Then ne mounted his cycle
and rode away from me down the drive
toward the hall. ran across the heat III
and peered through the trees. Far
away 1 could catch slimpscs of the old
gray building. with its bristling Tudor
chimneys, but the drive ran through a
dense shrubbery, and saw no more of
my man.

done fairly good mornings work. and
