that my presence was required. With

pounding. and stopping now and then
to tell her that IL she would persist

could almost hear him whistle and
sing, and I had vision of him try
ing fire escape from the window
and testing the burglar alarm.
AS I drew near the house thought
I could hear him shouting to the cook
to boil two eggs for Mrs. Bowser's
dinner. and following that with the
statement that boiled eggs were a
sure cure for any kind of headache.
AS I softly opened the front door
had no doubt that would catch him
drumming on the piano and singing
some song at the top of his voice. and
that I should have him by the ear the
next moment. -.

Outwittinq a Bushranger.

In Mr.. George E. Bozall's "Story OF
the Australian Bushrangers" the fol-
lowing little episode is related: A man
named Michael, who went to an inn
for food, found the place in the hands
of the bushrangers. Fourteen guests
were already disarmed and were being
searched in order. Michael was COM
PEELED to take his place in line. The
bushrangers handed him pannikln OF
tea before they took his money. Know
ing what was coming. he held the pan
nikin as if the tea were too hot to
drink, ana when the leader Of the
highwaymen was looking away drop
ped his roll of bank notes into it. He
stood quite quiet, and when the bush
rangers came to feel his pockets there
were only few Shillings In them.
The robbers appeared satisfied and al
lowed him to go. He carried his pam
nikin out with him, took his money
and put it in his pocket without being
observed. Then he mounted his horse,
rode to the nearest police station and
gave information.
