CHAPTER XVI.
Donald Meable's Strange Experience

Donald Megbie's Strange Experience.
Like most writer's, Donald Megbie
was Of nervous and sensitive tenn
permanent. Both mental and physical
impressions recorded themselves very
rapidly and completely upon his con-
sciousness. He arrived at the Inner
Temple with every nerve in a state Of
excitement, such as he had hardly
ever known before. He walked down
the dim, echoing ways toward the
river, his chambers being situated II
the new buildings upon the Embark
ment. A full moon hung in the sky,
brilliant and honey-colored, attended
by little drifts Of amber and sulphur
tinted clouds.
But tt Journalist saw nothing of
the nights splendor. He almost STUN
bled up the stairs to the first floor. A
lamp was burning over the door Of his
rooms, and his name was painted in
white letters upon the oak. He went
Ill civ loA11Oo I'll IQS CtSClll llSul
Then for moment he stood still in
the hall, g. richly-furnished place sur
rounded on all sides by doors painted
white. Els feet made no sound on the
thick Persian carpet, and the whole
fiat was perfectly still. He felt I'M
easy, curiously so, as If some calamity
was impending. The exhilaration of
hic cfirrino foil Will 1io,
Gouldesbrough-so recent, so pro-
foundry moving-had now quite de-
parted. His whole consciousness
was concentrated upon little box of
metal in the pocket of his overcoat.
It seemed alive; he was actually con-
scious Of its presence, though his
fingers were not touching it.
by Jove," he said to himself, aloud,
"the things like an electric battery
1t seems as If actual currents radiated
from it." His own voice sounded odd
and unnatural in his ears, and as he
hung up his coat and went into the
study with the cigarette case in his
hand he found himself wishing that he
had not been given holiday-he had
allowed him to go to Windsor,to spend
night at his mothers house.
A bright fire glowed in the CRATE Of
red brick. 1t shone upon the book
lined walls, playing cheerily upon the
crimson, green, and gold of the bind
ings, and turning the great silver ink
stand upon the writing table into a
thing of flame. Everything was cheer
full and just as usual.

MUCH ABUSED SHARK.
$1,000 Reward for Proof That One
Ever Ate Man.

The sharks of the oceans are the
most abused and most hated Of all
creatures. There are more absurd
stories concerning their ferocity, more
ridiculous nonsense about the con.
tents of their bellies, than would fill a
large volume.
The late Herman Oelrichs once Of
fered $1,000 for an authentic case of
anyone being killed and eaten by a
"man-eater"-and no one has yet been
able to get the money.
l have myself offered several times
to duplicate the reward, but met upon
each occasion with such showers of
authentic" cases-none of which was
proved-that I gave the matter no
further consideration.
That a shark will not attack a man
in the water is manifestly too much to
say, for at certain seasons vast hordes
of schools of these pests, or rather
scavengers, will strike" at almost
anything that is dropped into the
sea.
These littorals are fierce from hun.
ger and small fish. which a man
could easily pick up and whirl about
his head-a common way of killing a
shark along the southern coast-will
strike savagely, probably at a man OF
any other living body which offers
something in the way of food So also
will the bonito, or one of the mack.

Other folk were drunk with success

Donald Megbie was awake in the In

curious and strange. Donald Megbie
had left the party too early in the
evening. He was drunk of-nothing at

i DOG COMMITS SUICIDE.
'Forlorn Cur Leaps from Eighth s'0r'
Of Building.

IN At of melancholia, Blilie
Scroggs little waif, homeless ana
wanderer. committed suicide by Jump
ing Of the ledge on the eighth stors,
Just under the coping Of the Evening
Star building. Billie acted strangely
all day. He did not run around Wl'n
his characteristic abandon, making
friends with the newsboys, and TINS
excited comment.
Unobseryed, he climbed the stairs
in the newspaper building. IL was
pleasant to sit high above the MAD
ding, rushing crowd below, FAR ABOVE
the reach of old shoes, tin cans anu
frecrackers. But, alone and unals'
turbed by curse or kick, his melan.
cholia grew, and with face upturneo
toward the new moon, hanging clear
above the post Office tower, he howleo
piteously. Finding no solace, he paced
up and down, and his agitation gre"
when in an agonized moment ne saw
little Jimmy in the street below, ano
leaped.
Pedestrians passing the corner
stopped suddenly as his little body hi
the pavement with thud.
Two young ladies of romantic dis
position who were passing at the time
were deeply affected by the scene, ane
were all a-futter, one Of them exclalm
ing: II wonder was it live or jus1
fits
The little body hurting through the
air narrowly missed several persons
and the suicide created something o.
a sensation. A great crowd congregat
ed and curses in life were turned t.
sympathetic, kindly words in death
as billie" breathed his last.
