CHAPTER xxxIv.

OF DR.. Walkers sensational escape
that night to South America, OF the
recovery of over 100000 in cash
and securities in the safe from the
chimney room-the papers have kept
the public well informed. OF my share
in discovering the secret chamber
they have been singularly silent. The
inneE,history has never been told. Mr..
Jameson got all kinds of credit. and
somdA Of it he deserved. but If Jack

and insisted on the disinterring OF

not suspsgted the truth from the
start &f&re would the detective have

When. Halsey learned the truth. he
insisted on going the next morning,
weak as he was. to Louise. and by
night she was at Sunnyside. under
Gertrude's particular care. while her
mother had gone to Barbara Fitz-
hugh's.
What Halsey said to Mrs. Arm.
strong I never knew. but that he, was
considerate. and chivalrous l feel con.
fident. 1t was Halsey's way always
with women
He and Louise had no conversation
together until that night Gertrude
and Alex-I mean Jack-had gone for
a walk. although 1t was nine o'clock,
and anybody but pair OF young geese
would have known that dew was fall
ing, and that 1t is next to impossible
to get rid of a summer cold.
At half after nine. growing weary
of my own company, went down
stairs to find the young people. At
the door Of the living room I paused.
Gertrude and Jack had returned and
were there. sitting together on a
divan, with only one lamp lighted.
They did not see or hear me, and
beat hasty retreat to the library.

The monster grizzly bear that for
years has been making many sleepless
nights for the farmers. miners and
residents of the northwestern Trinity
region has at last been slain.

slayer of small domestic animals was
killed by Thomas Mcdonald. a wealthy
mining man who has been camping
along the Salmon range in Trinity.
Single-handed Mcdonald. who is a
mountaineer of marked ability. killed
the bear after lively tussle.
The bear weighed 1000 pounds. and
IL the finest and biggest specimen
ever seen in the Trinity mountain re-
gions. The animal had for years de-
fed all efforts to capture or kill him.

grave and quiet. and he nodded COM

"Will you come with me for mo

DOSE OF HIS OWN MEDICINE
How Group Of Artists in Etaples
HumbIed the Naughty McNeill
Whistler.

Tradition has it that once the late
Mr.. James A. AtcNeill Whistler was
fustered, and the story is told by an
artist who was visiting an exhibi-
ton of his works in the Metropoli-
tan Museum of Art. The painter
had cultivated an air of hauteur
as one of the adjuncts of his gentle
art of making enemies and affected
not to see or recognize even those of
his profession whom he intimately
knew.
He wandered into g. cafe in
Etaples some years ago, where he
found several of the artist colony of
the little French town playing bill
lizards. They had seen him coming
and had resolved to give the "Only
One" a dose of his own medicine.
As he approached not an eye was
turned in his direction. He sat
down near the table, watched the
game and finally asked if he could
play.
The artists stared at himsas if he
were some intruder from another
land.

FOOTBALL PERILs FOR UNFIT.

In the seasons list of dead and the

fatal injury when he returned to the

says New York World. From the
rolls of the football dead and of those
critically hurt it can be seen that the
majority of victims came from high
school teams and from amateur
elevens of irregular training. We
read of one death from lung trouble
due to exposure on the field, of an

dent of Dickinson seminary in Penn
sylvania who was Frustrated by

facts support the contention of those
unwavering advocates of the game
who contend that the supreme perils
of football are chiefly for the unfit.
Perhaps it is true that the direct road
t. saving reform in football lies in a
more rigid regard for physical fitness
among players than in much tinkering
with the rules.

of the city hospitals while suffering
from mysterious disease. He told
the physicians that while he was cut.

against his lips and caused an abra-

as the swelling refused to yield to
treatment he applied for admission to
a hospital, where he eventually died
after much suffering. An inquest and

ner rendered a verdict that death was
due to infection with anthrax, which is

IMMUNE TO SNAKE POISON
Lerot Showed No III Effects Of Viper
Bite-Case of Pig and
Hedgehog.

The remarkable combats of the
Indian mongoose with venomous
snakes, in which it always comes off
victor, are we'll known. The fact
that it invariably survives has led
to the suggestion that it is immune
to snake poison. Other animals said
to be immune are the pig and the
hedgehog.
With regard to the mongoose, in
deed, this immunity has been denied,
and if bitten it is said to fall a vic
tim as rapidly as other animals. II
this be true, then it must owe its
victories to its wonderful agility in
avoiding the bites of the reptile.
However this may be, some recent
experiments of NJ. G.. Billiard show
that an animal of the dormouse
family must be added to the list OF
the immune.
This animal is known as the lerot
and is said to fight fercely with
vipers. M. Billiard injected large
doses of viper's poison into the lerot
and found that no i'll effects fol-
lowed. On one occasion, again, one
of them was bitten badly on the eye
by viper and no signs of poisoning
followed. There can, then, be no
doubt that the lerot is immune to
snake poison.
