 His wish was to punish those who had insulted him, but how was the question ringing in his brain. A gen. tIeman could not knock down man. agemenE or punch it's head. "A man. agemeDt'' seemed intangible, out of reach.
 vars first thought was to march up to the desk and "have a row. with somebody, but an instant's refe%ion showed him that it would be more in accordance with dignity toN go to his own quarters and command a repre- sentative of the management" to come to him.
 This resolve he carried out. Having reached his room and called down through the telephone for the man ager, he was not kept waiting long be fore a gentlemanly middle aged per- son appeared at his sitting room door. "Are you the manager of this ho- tei?" Loveland inquired brusquely. tI represent the manager the new conner returned.

A PULLING PINE.
Peculiar Tree That 10 Som ethine Of q
Mystery to Botanists.

! Peculiar Tree That 10 Som ething Of .
Mystery to Botanists.
Upper California is the home of a
tree that has puzzled botanists. 1t Is
a pine which will grow only near the
seacoust Its growth Is slow. and it
does not attain to great size.
The strange thing about it is that
there are to all appearances. insur-
mountable difficulties in the way Of
the prrpctuntion Of the species. Some
specimens of it exist in Kew gardens.
in London. They have been carefully
examined by competent authorities.
and all admit that the tree presents a
problem unlike anything elsewhere
met with.
This pine produces ut regular inter-
walls the usual cones containing seeds;
but. strange to say, the cones are so
thoroughly protected that the seeds
cannot be released. The cones are
hard and tightly closed and have
strong overlapping scales.
More extraordinary still is the fact
that the pine, after producing its al
most invulnerable cones. keeps them
hanging on it's branches year after
year. Unless through some peculiar
accident the seeds would apparently
remain attached to the parent tree for
ever. Many of the cones on the trees
in Kew gardens have been there for
years. as is shown by the size Of the
branches and the formation Of the
bark.
1t has been found that the seed YES
sells which this tree SO powerfully re-
tain are so well protected that 1t re-
quires .a strong knife with the assist
ance of heavy hammer to cut the
cone into sections. No ordinary con-
ditionS Of temperature can make
cone open.
The following is the only eXplana-
ton yet offered that seems to have any
degree of plausibility: The species
may be pcrpetuated by fire. One who
has studied the tree asserts that moth
ing but the intense heat of forest
fire could compel the cones to release
their seeds. 1t has been found that
under the influence Of intense heat
they crack open and the seeds fall
out uninjured.-Harper's Weekly.
