She Was Old Enough.

The youth was waiting in the recep-
ton room for the young lady to come
downstairs when the small brother
sauntered in with the well known non.
chalance and SAVIOR faire which char

away the time. After few minutes
of general talk the caller thought he
would take advantage of the oppor-

The Americans Gambling Ways.

In Il letter from "A German In Amer
lca," published in Il Berlin newspaper,
the writer dwells at length on the
"American's fondness for gambling
and his proficiency in the art" His
business methods" says the writer,
ARE speculative and not conservative,
like ours, and he takes great risks to
reach the coveted goal of riches. At
school he plays games with the small
copper coin of the country, and when
he reaches college he plays poker. He
gambles on the outcome of the athletic
contests in his and rival educational in
situations, and when driven to the wall
in argument, no matter what the sub
ject may be, the final and usually eff
fective weapon is bet. From school
ne goes into business. If this happens
10 be in the financial line, there is no
interruption of the gambling habits ac-
quired at school. If he goes into COM
merce and can resist the temptations
of the men who dangle before his eyes
visions of fortunes made by speculat-
ing In stocks, he may be saved. But
usually he succumbs and is worse of
than the financial gambler, because he
becomes a Spectator in his own bust
ness and in the stock market also. 1t
must be dreadful strain on the men,
but they seem to thrive on II and to
grow fat and rich as well, and only
we who worry about them remain
poor"

SPECIAL AGENT

of stormy night, seemed to this self
confident man matter of no great
risk. Nor did he find it so. He reached
his strong room, procured his securities
and was leaving the house. without
having suffered an alarm, when some
instinct of self preservation suggested
to him the ACCESSIBILITY of arming him
self with n pistol. His own was in
Maine, but he remembered where Sears
kept his. He had seen it often enough
in that old trunk he had brought with
him from the Sierras. He accordingly
went upstairs to the stewards room,
found the pistol and became from that
instant invincible. But in restoring
the articles he had pulled out he came
across Il photograph of his wife and
lost himself over it and went mad as
we have heard the detective tell. That
later, he should succeed in trapping
this detective and should leave the
house without a qualm as to his fate,
shows what sort of man he was in
moments of extreme danger l doubt,

So the promises were written and

New York, and Fairbrother boarded
his launch.

York. and to him it seemed more polite
TO use it as a means of securing Mr..
Grey's permanent silence than to fly
the country, leaving a nlan behind him
who knew his secret and could pre-
cipitate his doom with a word. He
would therefore go to New York, play
his last great card and, if he lost be
no worse off than he was now. He did
not mean to lose.
But he had not calculated on any in
herent weakness in himsef-had not
calculated on Providence. A dish tum-
bled and with it fell into chaos the
fair structure of his dreams. With the
cry of "Grizel! Grizel" he gave up
his secret, his hopes and his life
There was no retrieval possible after
that. The star of Abner Fairbrother
had set.
Mr. Grey and his daughter learned
very soon of my relations to Mr.. Du-

ding Of the fascination usual with
c.imnalS kept him near the scene of

how Sears would conduct himself in
the southwest. That Sears had follow
ed him to New York knew his crime
and WAS the strongest witness against
him was as far from his thoughts as
that he owed him the warning which
had all but baked him of his revenge.
When therefore he read in the papers
that "Abner Fairbrother" had been
found sick in his camp at Santa Fe he
felt that nothing now stood i'll the way
of his entering Oh the plans he had
framed for ultimate escape. On his
departure from FL Moro he had taken
the precautlon of giving Sears the

Or 50 it seemed But if the English
man is slow, he is sure. Thrown off
the track for the time being, Mr. Grey
had only to see a picture of the stiletto
in the papers, to feel again that, de-
spite all appearances, Fairbrother was
really not only at the bottom of the
thefts from which his cousin and him
self had suffered, but of this frightful
murder as well. He made. no open
move--he was a stranger in strange
land and much disturbed, besides, by
his fears for his daughter-but he
started a secret inquiry through his old
valet whom he ran across in the street
and whose peculiar adaptability for
this kind of work he we'll knew.
The aim of these inquiries was to
determine if the person, whom two
physicians and three assistants were
endeavoring to nurse back to health
on the top of a wild plateau in a re-
mote district of New Mexico, was the
man he had once entertained at his
own boar in England. and the adj
ventures thus incurred would make

A. R. Norwood, of the Leicester,
(England) Museum, remarks that the
colors of birds eggs can in a large
number of cases be traced to the ne
cessity of protective resemblance"
White eggs are usually laid by birds
nesting in holes in trees, or in dark
situations, like owls. woodpeckers and
some pigeons. Most birds nesting on
or near the ground lay eggs of an olive
green or brown ground color. The
eggs of grouse. ptarmigan. and so
forth, resemble the heather among
which they are laid. Those of the
ringed plover, little tern and oyster
catcher resemble the sand and shing-
lie of the beach. The lapwing's eggs
closely simulate bare soil or dried
bents. The young chicks show SINH.
lar protective colors.
