the green plush back of a parlor-car
was returning to San Francisco, He
had been several sorts of a fool, after
all, he thought, to commit himself to
such a stupid deception. 1t was clear
enough, in his honest opinion, that he
had made a consummate ass of him
seslf in more than one respect. 1t
was also perfectly evident that Kath-
crime Haygood did not care the snap
of her finger for him. Even the alb
horrent guardian stood a better chance
by long odds than did he in his fool
ish masquerade.
Arriving in San Francisco, he went
at once to his apartments. The first
thing to greet him on entering was
his faithful valet. The next, a
dainty blue envelope, handed him by
the oriental. He glanced quickly at
the address, reddening like a school
boy as he recognized the familiar
handwriting of his ward. He tore it
upen eagerly and read:
"Plainfeld, n. j., June 5,-My Dear
Guardian: l don't know why should

see fit to notice my letters by more
than a casual acknowledgment. How

Pierson read the letter half a doze
/, times before returning it to the Ell
yelope. A curious little smile deve
oped about his lips as he made
! rather hasty toilet and sat down {

Within the limits of particular groups
large ears may be taken, as rule, to
indicate either great powers of hearing
or the necessity of catching every
wave of sound. Thus, forest dwelling
animals generally have much larger,
and especially broader, ears than their
relatives inhablting open country. An
excellent instance of this is afforded
by the okapi Of the Semliki forest, as
contrasted with the giraffe of the more
open districts of Africa-the ears in
the one case being excessively broad
and leafiike, while in the other they
are comparatively narrow and pointed.
Similarly Grevy's zebra, which inhab-
its scrub jungles in Somaliland and
northeast Africa generally, has much
larger and wider ears than the ordi-
nary zebra Of the open veldt.-Scientif-
lc American.

The Kind He Liked.

some rare old cheese, and after hear
ing his praise of its strong points Ted
dy was manfully struggling to make
way with a small piece of It.
Seeing the cheese still on his plate
and Teddy's nose perceptibly elevated,
his father said: "What is the matter,
Ted? Don't you like that fine cheesew
"Yes," answered Teddy, with the dir
of a connoisseur. "This cheese is very
good, but think like just plain, COM
