I'm taking you to the house of
friend where I'm visiting. I'm going
to row you in your boat. It's only a
short distance; and when we get there
l shall have something to say to you"
He made no reply, but got into the
boat without ado. / turned over in my

who was now my prisoner, and found
that l knew little enough about him.
He was the unwelcome and annoying
sutton of Miss Helen Holbrook, and
l had caught him prowling about ST.
Agatha's in a manner that was indie
feasible.
He sat huddled in the stern, nursing
his swathed arms on his knees and
whistling dolefully. The lake was
broad pool of silver S<ve for the
soft splash of Ijimas paddle behind
me and the slight wash of water on
the near shore, silence possessed the
world. Gillespie looked about with
some curiosity, but said nothing, and
when ! drove the boat to the Glenarm
landing he crawled out and followed
me through the wood without a word

wounds we went to my room and

ITS my poor wits, IL we must fix
the blame. It's an awful thing, sir, to

a kick that set the glass to tinkling.
Then he held up his hands in sign OF
surrender and | saw that they were
cut and bleeding. We were both badly
blown, and while we regained our
wind we stared at each other. He
was the first to speak.
Kicked, bit or stung!" he NUT
tered, dolefully; that saddest of all
words, 'stung!' It's as clear as moon
light that I'm badly mussed, not to
say cut"
May l trouble you not to kick out
any more of that glass? The gardener
will be here in a minute and fish you

'Lawsy, what is it? An aquarium,

He chuckled softly, but sat per-

his legs. THE next time l seek the

NEW YORK STOCKS UNUSUALLY

afternoon HaB point declines we're

little more activity at the decline, but

NEW YORK, Jan. 2O.-I p. NIT was

Some OF the gossips called It a mar

house CLIENTS are not inclined to bid

cIined to part with ste as that they

the difficulty spectators have in trying
either TO depress or advance prices. A
good many brokers are OF the opinion
that general buying OF the genuine sort
would be stimulated by substantial
decline In prices.
"The market position or traction
stocks IS surrounded with much con-
fusion. There has been big speculation IN

Passing into the second hour OF the

HOW the PYRAMIDS WERE BUILT
Theory That Explains Expenditure Of
Time and Labor.

No one has been able to decide how
the enormous stones in the pyramids
were handled: for. even allowing for
the vast army Of men, some sort Of
mechanical contrivance must have
been used.
One theory is that as each course
Of stone was laid q sand embankment
was built around 1t with long, easy
slopes 30 that the stones for the next
course could be pushed on rollers
and slid into place. without any actual
lifting. and SO on, the pyramid being
in fact buried as fast as 1t was built.
until the top was reached, when the
stupendous job of removing the sand
embankment was commenced.
This might account for the vast
army Of laborers used; for instance.
1t is said that in building the great
pyramid Of Cheops 100000 men were
employed for 30 years, although the
quarry from which the stone was OBJ
tained was nearly 5000 feet from the
pyramid.-Engineering Magazine.
