The Famous BasiIisk.

According to the ancient writers, the
basllisk-sometimes called cockatrice-
was monster to be greatly dreaded.
Its breath filed the air with a deadly
poison and burned up vegetation, and
the glance of its eye was fatal to both
man and beast The only creature that
could face it and live. they said. was
the cock, and travellers were advised to
take loud growing cocks with them as
protection against the monster So
much for superstition. As a matter Of
fact the basilisk is a harmless lizard.
living quiet life in the woods and
feeding on insects. Its appearance.
however, Is formidable. and it is this
perhaps that gave it bad name. II
grows to length Of from twenty-five
to thirty inches, including its tail.
which is much longer than its body.
Rising from its head and inclining
backward Is broad. winglilxe expan-
sion, which gives 1t some resemblance
to the flying lizard. The crest OF this
expansion is formed somewhat like q
crown. and that gave the basilisk its
name, which is from the Greek word
meaning ''king.'

his placidity.
Since then 1t had pleased him to be-
lieve that his life had been wrecked.
and so he kept Lena's faded photo
graph on the mantelpiece, and at times
he took it down and sighed over 1t;
also he avoided all feminine society.
At his uncle's death the latters bust
ness had passed to him. and under his
even administration 1t had grown great

he also dined downtown. He bought
new suit of clothes whenever his old
cashier discreetly limited that one was

The woman who acted as janitress

rooms. and he found them always or

But tonight a surprise waited for him

Camel Races.

Camel races are held regularly In the
south of Algeria. where valuable prizes
are offered for the encouragement of
the breed of racers, and as much inter
est is taken in their preparation and
performance as in that of race horses
in this country. The racing camels are
the result of very careful breeding
through many generations, and in size.
temper and appearance they are so
different from the ordinary beast of
burden that they might almost be con
sidered different race of animals.
Perhaps the most conspicuous char
acteristic of the ordinary camel is its
extreme slowness. Nothing on earth
VIII ever induce it to hurry. A twenty
dollar note will buy very fair speci-
men. but for mehari. or racing camel,
five or ten times that sum is required
to effect a purchase.
The racer. however. can be depended

GUS at the beginning. when all the AMI
mails are together and seem to realize

Pengreave, coming slowly down the

lngs. For twenty years he had been
coming down the same street. some
times little earlier. sometimes very
much later. but always he passed
along with unseeing eyes. his thoughts
fixed upon his business and his home.
AT fifteen he had first turned into the
side street from the main thorough
fare. Horse cars had run unevenly
over the badly set rails. and Pickering
gas lamps had lighted all save the
business streets. Now there were troll
leys everywhere, and even the alley
ways were lighted by electricity, but
Richard Pengreave gave no heed to
these changes.
1t had been a good locality once.
