A Bernhardt Trick.

Nine. Sarah Bernhard, who is sup
posed to be something of an artist as.
well as an actress, was recently called
upon in one of her marvellous crea-
lions to enact the role of a sculptor,
and to model a certain bust in view OF
the audience. This fairly electrified
the critics, but when going into rhap-
sodieS over the technical skill in han
ding the clay which Nine. Bernhard
exhibited they showed that they knew
little of the artistic tricks of actors
and actresses; as a matter of fact, she
does nothing of the kind. The bust
is modelled and baked, and over it is,
placed damp clay of the same color.
This the talented actress merely pulls
off, exposing the beautifully modelled
head underneath.

CHAPTER Xxx.
DR.. Walkers Warning.


Warner was on his knees in a mo-
ment, fumbling at the old mans col
lar to loosen it, but Halsey caught his
hand.
Let him alone" he said. You
can't help him; he is dead"
We stood there, each avoiding the
others eyes; we spoke low and rev.
erently in the presence of death, and
we tacitly avoided any mention of
the suspicion that was in every mind.
When Mr. Jameson had finished his
cursory examination, he got up and
busted the knees of his trousers.
There is no sign of injury" he
said, and 1 know 1, for one, drew a
long breath of relief. From what
Warner says and from his hiding in
the closet, 1 should say he was scared
to death. Fright and weak heart, to-
gether.''
but what could have done it?' Ger
trude asked. He was all right this
evening at dinner. Warner, what did
he say when you found him on the
porch?"
Warner looked shaken; his honest,
boyish face was colorless.
Just what I told you, Miss lines.
He'd heen reading the paper down
feeling sleepy, I came down to the
lodge to go to bed. AS I went up
stairs Thomas put down the paper
and taking his pipe went out on the
porch Then / heard an exclamation
from him.
Didn't he say anything you could
understands 1 asked.
He said something about the grave
giving up its dead"
Mr.. Jameson was going through the
old mans pockets, and Gertrude was
composing his arms, folding them
across his white shirt-bosom, always
so spotless.
In the course of his investigations
the detective had come to the inner
pocket of the dead buffers black
coat Here he found some things that
interested him. One was a small fiat
key, with a red cord tied to it, and the
other was a bit of white paper, on
which was written something in
Thomas cramped hand. Mr. jamie
son read it; then he gave it to me. 1t
was an address in fresh ink:
LUCIEN WALLACE,
IA Elm Street, Richfield.
AS the card went around 1 think
both the detective and 1 watched for
any possible effect 1T might have, but,
beyond perplexity, there seemed to be

why, Elm street is the main street;
don't you remember. Halsey?"
'Lucien Wallace" Halsey said.
THAT is the child Stewart spoke OF at
| the inquest"
Warner. with his mechanics in
stinct, had reached for the key. What
he said was not a surprise
Yale lock-" he said. Probably a
| key to the east entry"
There was no reason why Thomas,
an old and trusted servant, should
not have had key to that particular
door, although the servants entry
was in the west wing But 1 had not
known of this key, and it opened up
a new field of conjecture Just now,
| however. there were many things TO
be attended to, and, leaving Warner

Attacks upon children by dogs and
cats are chronicled quite frequently
nowadays, probably because of neglect
of the animals during the hot weather.
Animals that are extremely thirsty
during the heated term are as apt to
become deranged as men who are sub
5ected to extremes of heat and cold.
All owners of animals should exercise
more than usual care in looking after
their comfort while the weather is I'M
comfortably hot.

Ancient Britons' Sweet Tooth.

Mention of the German custom OF
eating a compete of wild strawberries
with roast pork reminds US that our
ancestors in England had a decidedly
sweeter tooth than We have. In Tu-
dor times it was the general practice
to pour honey over the meat, and in
deed honey or sugar was used in 50
many dishes Ito say nothing OF being
mingled with the wine) that it is on
record that the teeth of most people
were black in consequence. Most OF
our ancestors dishes would be too
rich for us to-day, for surely even the
most accomplished diner-out would
shrink from oysters stewed in wine,
pigeons stuffed with go~oseberries,
grapes boiled in butter and mutton
stuffed with oysters.-London Chron-
icle.

Trappers FORCED Further North.

A recent report of the American
Consul General in Winnipeg shows
that in 1909 furs to the value of more
than $12, 900 were shipped to
New York from the Dominion. Many
of these furs are manufactured for
the American market, but the larger
part is r~eshipped to London, and. af-
ter treatment, distributed from there.
Most of the New York dealers take
their shipments under an agreement
by which theypay sixtyper cent. of the
estimated value to the shipper on de-
livery, the balance being paid when
the actual prices are determined by
the results of the public sales. In
this way the small dealers are pro-
vided with current funds instead of
having to wait six or eight months to
realize on their consignments. In
these days the trappers are being
forced further and further north.

Long Serpentine Wharf.

One of the longest wharves in the
world, almost a mile long, or to be
exact, 400 feet, is at Port Los An
geles, Cal. 1t extends into the Pa
cific in a long %serpentine curve
The reason for this construction is
that it offers better resistance to the
strong currents and the buffetings of
the waves than if it were perfectly
straight. Until the nearby harbor
of San Pedro was developed by the
Federal Government the big wharf at
Port Los Angeles was a very busy
place, but of late is comparatively
seldom used except by the Japanese
fishermen, who have formed a colony
along the adjacent misunderstanding
American.
