The Famous Basilisk.

According to the ancient writer's, the
basilisk called cockatrice-
was a 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 1t 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 n harmless lizard.

feeding on insects. Its appearance.
however, is formidable. and it is this
perhaps that gave 1t a 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. winglike 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."

Camel Races.

Camel races are held regularly In the

performance as in that of race horses

the result of very careful breeding
through many generations, and in size.

different from the ordinary beast Of

had retained the first floor for his own
use. and a real estate agent had rented
the other floors. He handed Pengreave
quarterly checks. and Pengreave wor-
ried no more.
He was sure of a home, the only
home he had known. He sat at his
window In the summer evenings and
looked across the square opposite and
gave no heed to the children swarming
in the street.

he had first come to Barrow street. and

But Lena had married a junk dealer

quiet month. during which he drank
seidles instead of the smaller glasses at
the Bierhalle. Pengreave had recovered
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 1t down and sighed over 1t;
also he avoided all feminine society.
At his uncle's death the latter's busl-
ness had passed to him. and under his
even administration it had grown great

he also dined downtown. He bought

Pengreave, coming slowly down the
street. gave no heed to his surround
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 fiickering
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.

She hurried down the hall, and Pen

closed behind her before he shut his

He went back into the room, his head
in a whirl. Dimly he was conscious
that the street was not the same as 1t
had been in his boyhood. The girl
must be right. He was willing to see
with her eyes. those eyes of the glori-
GUS blue.
Those eyes gave him much to think
about. He was not yet forty, and
more than half of his years had been
given to the unwavering pursuit OF
business. True, there had been Lena.
but now Pengreave knew how little
Lena had really meant to him.
For the first time that he could re-
member he had met a woman of his
own kind. and he felt the need of
knowing more of the life he had miss
ed. He remembered that he was still
a comparatively young man. and those
blue eyes had loosened something
