CHAPTER XI.
~ IINEXPECTED PLEASURE.

OOQ morning, Mr.. Jarvis"
80 The butler had told the
III young detective to wait a
few minutes for Mr.. Heath.
Jarvis had become so interested In a
painting on the opposite wall that he
failed to her a light footstep coming
from the room next
He turned and beheld the original OF
the picture.
She came toward him with out
stretched hand. He had been studying
iier picture so earnestly that he felt
as though he had been guilty Of a rude
ness-as though he had been staring
her out of countenance once more.
Wherefore the color mounted his face.
After all he was not so very experienced
as a detective that he could not be
caught in a situation for which he was
not quite prepared.
Then he realized that he had done
nothing out OF the ordinary. and reach
ed out his hand to take the one she
extended.
MY father will be down in a few
moments. learned that you were
here. And I wanted 10 thank yoI for
your efforts in getting back my neck

ner Of a lady toward some one Of
slightly inferior social position who has
done her a service.
And her manner put him on his dig
nifty in an instant. He was still con
fused, but a subcOnscious notion that
he was being treated like some spe-
ciaIly accommodating grocer's clerk
caused him to stiffen.
"All that I did was quite In the line
of duty. Miss Heath. II IS for such
work that the city pays US" he said
And his manner had the effect OF con-
! fusing her. She had intended 10 say
something about the reward her father
had offered. Instead. she cOlored a lit
tie, checked some word she was about
to utter, then began quite inappropri-
ately:
I'VE have been having remarkable
weather lately, haven't we?"
why. don't know" Jarvis gasped,
completely taken by surprise at her en-
barrassment, which seemed TO be get
ting worse as she realized the absurdity
of her remark.
Then. quite suddenly, her lips parted
and she gave vent TO a little ripping
laugh.
You must be impressed that I am a
remarkably silly young woman" she
said in a tone as she would have used
with any young man Of her acquaint-
ance
The thin coating Of ice which had
formed over the top Of the situation
broke then.

Prince of Wales Taking keener
Interest in Public Affairs.
Points to Own Example-lntlmates
That He Was Kept Too Much In
Background During Queen
Vlctoria's Reign.

New York.-The increased public
activity of the prince of Wales in re-
cent months has been very evident to
anyone who follows the English press.
With this increased activity there has
come an increase. or perhaps a more
correct word would be a growth of
popularity. which probably pleases no
one more than the king.
A writer whose knowledge Of
things is second to none says that he
has the highest authority for declar-
Ing that this marked advance in pub
lie Importance of the prince of Wales
Is entirely due to the king. The lat
ter recently told the prince of Wales
that though he himself had had to
fulfill much public duty during the life
OF Queen Victoria, yet he had been
kept aloof from political and diplo-
matte influence. and it was not until
his accession that he could show him
self to the empire in his true light. He
does not want this to occur with his
son.
At all times the king has shown
himself a most affectionate father, al
ways desirous of having his children
with him. There can be no doubt
that not so long ago the prince of
Wales showed symptoms of that de-
preston which has grievously OPP
pressed his two elder sisters. The
king saw that he needed rousing. At

HAS PLAGUE OF PIGEONS.
Vienna Perpiexed by Thousands Of
Undesirable Birds-Authorities
Wrestling with Problem.

London.-Vienna is suffering from
too many pigeons ard the authorities
are st loss to know what to do to
mitigate the nuisance. The birds,
which number some thousands. have a
privileged existence; nobody molests
them in any way. SO that they flourish
and increase rapidly.
Recently so many complaints have
been received from the house owners
OF the dirty condition of the facades
Of buildings caused by the pigeons that
the Vienna magestracy decided some
thing must be done to reduce the mum
bor In their perplexity the magistra
cy appealed to the Vienna Society for
the Protection of Animals to aid them
in local slaughter OF the Offending
birds, always having regard however.
to the provisions of the new bird pro-
lection law.
The society answered that 1t would
be hardly consistent with its principles
of friendliness toward animals to en-
gage in a massacre Of pigeons and
therefore it must reject the official ap-
peal.
The magistratrcy is now wrestling
with the problem alone, Perhaps the
unemployed of Vienna might help
them.

the same time Sir James Reid has
tried to induce the king to shift some
of the burdens of his position onto
elher shoulders. ITO be Europe's in
ternational minister is sufficient task
for any man getting on for TO-" we're
his words.
The king then sent for the princess
Of Wales, in whose Judgment he has
great confidence. and after long talk
with her, he told the prince of Wales
that he must hencaforth be more in
the public eye. This is the true story
OF the evolution of the prince In the
past few months.
Like his father. the prince is not a
good speaker; but he can say what he
wishes to say. and. II he speaks torse-
ly. 1t is always to the point, while he
is an exceptionally able man of busi-
nesa. So far as can be Judged. the
princes sympathies are not SO wide
as those OF the king. but his interests
are multifarious.
At the present time he is practical
expert on airships. and of course his
naval knowledge is profound. Probably
no one knows as much about hospital
management as he does, and his re-
cent speech about the Brussels ex-
hibition won marked notice not only
In this country but on the continent.
The prince has been somewhat
trcuL-ed by dyspepsia, and for the
present is not drinking at all with his
food. and only has one whisky after
each meal. He has also restricted
the number of his cigars, which had
been growing excessive. By inclina-
ton his tastes are sedentary, except
that he is fond of shooting, but al
most daily he rides for an hour.
The prince of Wales is going to pay
ore OF his rare visits to his duchy, the
estates of which are steady increasing
in value. The Duchy of Cornwall com

again and dived. In these few move,

the most powerful machinery.
The whale drowned and the carcass
was devoured on the oceans bottom
by other fish. The crew of the Burn

cause of the unusual difficulty in send
ing messages to and from either end

knowledge of Irish Language May Not
Be Required as Necessary Quaiifl-
cation for Entrance to Big
University in Ireland.


Dublin.-When parliament was es-
tablishing the new Irish university,
which had been agitated for half
century, it wisely left to a chosen
bN5sIs, of commissioners the task of
STAGING the university on its career,
afa( arranging in accordance with Irish
ideas its faculties of study. During
kall the time of their deliberations they
have been strongly urged by the
Gaelic league and by the numerous
bodies in Ireland in sympathy with
that active organization, TO make the
Irish language absolutely compulsory
for entrance to the university. Reso-
lutions with this purpose have poured
in upon them. not only from Irish pub
lie boards and societies, but from
numerous organizations in the United
States. Some of these latter were
most impressive, since the hope is en-
tertained that the new university may
draw some students from the families
of Irish people in America. Indeed,
the prospect of obtaining these Amer
lean students was used by the op-
ponent of compulsory Irish as rea-
son against it. But the American
resolutions have been unanimously
and vigorously in favor of compulsory
Irish.
So far the commissioners have not
met the demand of the Gaelic league.
1t is open to the senate of the uni
versity to do so If it chooses and
there will be no slackening of the ef-
feet to induce it to yield. But the ef-
feet of the Gaelic league agitation is
already plainly seen in the statutes
as framed by the commissioners. Pro
vision for the teaching of Irish is
made upon the most liberal scale.
Commerce is given place denied 1t
in all the older universities There
is to be a special chair of commerce
in Dublin and one in Cork, with as
sociated lectureships in. banking and
finance and accountancy. There is
also a special chair of modern Irish

able in a country whose industrial
position is so different from that of
England. There is to be good school
of engineering and as branch of it
degrees will be given in archi-
lecture.
The standard for degrees is fixed
unusually high. Ireland abounds in
doctors of existing universities whose
doctorates, though obtained by ex-
animation after course of studies.
are not much valued and are taken to
mean very little. In the new univer-
s:ty nobody will be made a doctor in
any arts faculty unless he has done
original work and published 1t. and
even then he will have to pass an ex-
animation as well. unless in special
cases the board of studies considers
the published work good enough to
relieve him from the examination.

sity will be able to begin its work be-

Lame Shoulder In Horse.--Wben-
ever horse owner is in doubt in re-
gard to the location OF lameness in
one or both front limbs, he invariably
selects the shoulder or shoulders. as
1t may happen. as the probable seat of
the lameness
In the majority OF cases the theory
of shoulder lameness proves to be a
grave mistake on the part OF
the owner, and an unnecessary
cruelty to the patient. 1t Is a we'll
known fact which has been well dem.
onstrated by practical experience that
there is no such thing as. denying
the truth OF the assertion that the
foot of the horse is more commonly
the seat of lameness than any other
part of the fore limb.
Subacute lameness, sometimes
known as chronic founder. is a very
common cause of lameness, located In
one or both feet OF the horses. and
II | am not very much mistaken, the
patient am required to prescribe for
is the victim of this indescrihable
lameness. The only treatment can
suggest for horses with chronic found.
er is to use them exclusively for SLOW
work on the farm.
