cAssoWARY A GOOD BOXER
Dance Over Object That Attracts His Attention Is Remarkable.

The cassowary Is natural boxer and the only bird, except perhaps the ostrich, whose method of defense and attack in warfare is the forward kick. The fashion of the cassowary's kick straight out, like man-is calculated to arouse envy In the breast of any save q crack athlete. Another pecu- liarity of this bird is his ability to per form a sort of war dance over any par ticular object that attracts his atten- tion. This recently happened at a geological institution when one of the cassowaries lighted upon a gaudy piece of ribbon, blown inside the bars from the hat or dress of some woman visitor
 He was one of the smallest of the collection. but he was of q martial temper. After having carefully exam Ined tff6 rI6b0n, lie started Ms --'9Vsf. dance, which was maintained with great vigor for some minutes. While he was at the height of his enjoy ment larger cassowary came up and interfered with him. The smaller bird tulS TOT SO0lc tliUe, Uul Wuth the other attempted to oust him from the spot in order that he in turn might prance about the ribbon, the in- trusion was resented in no uncertain style.
 The larger cassowary. thinking, ap- parently, that he could treat the dem- onstration of the lightweight with con tempt. began hustling his antagonist.
 The two were very ill-matched in height ono of them being about five feet high and the other foot or more shorter, but the battle that ensued showed that weight and height will not always tell. Forward kicks were the main feature of the fight. At first the blows were delivered chiefly on the breast, and did not hurt much, but eventually the smaller bird knocked the other one out with masterly stroke delivered by the long, sharp claw of the inner toe on the wattles of his antagonist.
 No fatal injury was done, but the shock must have been terrific, for the big bird uttered a peculiar cry and re- tired in confusion to his corner. while the victor resumed his war dance

Restless Boy Goes to Church.

A restless boy of ten went to church not long ago With determine. tion to keep awake. He also too,i with him two small pinwheels made of yellow paper. His view of the pastor being interfered with by an enormous puffed and rated coiffure of young woman who sat in front of him, he felt that he was legally left to his own devices.
 Whereupon he cautiously brought forth his yellow pinwheels. and care fully inserted the stick of each of them in the coiffure that baffled his view-and every time the decorated maiden bobbed her head the paper wheels merrily revolyed.
 We'll, when the pastor saw those whirling decorations he choked for a moment. and the basso in the choir gave a laugh and then tried to con- ceal 1t with highly unnatural cough.
 The boys mother is quite near sight ed and didn't notice the outrage, and the boy pretended he didn't notice it either.
 Well, it was decided after the serv- ice that the boy mustn't go to church until he can behave better-and he feels very badly about it.--Clevela1d Plain Dealer.

Insisted on Lower Berth.

In the early days of the Philippine insurrection, Capt. Ms company had been for some time garrisoning a small town in Mindanao, where the social life consisted mainly of evad. ing the festive bolo knife yielded by the little brown brother. Therefore he seized upon the occasion of his birthday to vary the monotony by brewing a punch. and invited his two lieutenants to assist in it's consump- tion. At late hour the party broke up. and after some maneuvering Captain NJ. piloted his junior subal- tern to his room. whe~c he found the first lieutenant peacefully sleeping on the floor beneath his bunk. Shaking him violently. ne reused him al last, and said:
 Get up into your bed
 The senior subaltern shook his head. looked very ~saya. and an swered, indignantly:
 No. sir, No. sir, You let sheconc rtenant take upper berth. I'm a first l'tenant and I get lower one" and he peacefully turned his face to the wall again.

Many al so went there in the last stages in the forloI n hope that the invigorating air might restore them to health. A story -e. lated by Dr. Abernethy turns on the latter class of visitors. One of his patients engaged some rooms in Is. lington. and casually remarked to the landlady that the banisters on tho staircase were very much broken.

Ways to Keep Neat.

My children were becoming dread fully careless about leaving their things around" said an origin,l moth. CT, and the older members of the family weren't any too tidy. So I made up my mind that wasn going to be pickup drudge for the rest of the household. I set up a big fine box, box with an oblong hol, in the top, into which I put every single thing-hat, coat, toy, pipe, no matter what-that 1 found lying around In the way. And to get his or her prop. erty the owner had to pay a penny if it was one of the children: ten cents in case of the older ones Az the children have only an allowance of ten cents week each, they didn't naturally want to pay it out it finea; so they began to be careful. Gradual. ly the whole family mendea their ways. and now my fine box is general ly empty, and the house is as tidy as you please"

1H[ CIRCULAR STAIRCASE
#|''''|'l''''|!|l!?,|

Thomas had key to the east entry, and gave it to her.
 On the way across the lawn she was confronted by Arnold, who for some reason was determined to get into the house. He had a golf-stick in his hand that he had picked up somewhere, and on her refusal he had struck her with 1t. One hand had been badly cut, and it was that, pois- oning having set in, which was killing her She broke away in Frenzy 0f rage and fear, and got into the house while Gertrude and Jack Bailey were at the front door. She went upstairs, hardly knowing what she was doing Gertrude's door was open, and Hal sey's revolver lay there on the bed She picked it up and turning ran part way down the circular staircase. She could hear Arnold fumbling at the lock outside. She slipped down quiet ly and opened the door; he was in side before she had got back to the stairs. It was quite dark, but she could see his white shirt bosom From the fourth step she fred As he fell somebody in the billiard room screamed and ran. When the alarm was raised, she had had no time to get upstairs; she hid in the west wing until every one was down on the lower floor. Then she slipped upstairs and thew the revolver out oI an up- per window, going down again In time to admit the men from the GrL anwood club.
 If Thomas had suspected, he had never told. When she found the hand Arnold had injured was growing worse, she gave the address of Lucien at Richfield to the old man and almost $l00. The money was for Lucien's board until she recovered. She had sent for me to ask me if I would try to interest the Armstrongs in tho child When she found herself grow ing worse she had written 10 Mrs. Armstrong, telling her notl ing but that Arnold's legitimate child was at Rlchfield, and imploring her to recog. nlze him. She was dying; the boy was an Armstrong, and entitled to his fathers share of the estate The pa. pers were in her trunk at Sunnyside, with letters from the dead nan that would prove what she said It was she who had crept down the circular staircase, drawn by magnet, that night MT. Jamieson had heard some one there. Pursued. she had fled madly, nywhere-through the first door she came to. She haN fallen down the clothes chute, al been saved by the basket beneath. I could have cried with relief; then it had not been Gertrude. after all!
 That was the story. Sad ana tragic though it was, the very tellh of it seemed to relieve the dying woman She did not know that Thor.as was dead. and l did not tell her. I prom. ised to look after little Lucfen. and sat with her until the intervals of con- sciousness grew shorter and finally ceased altogether. She died ths night

Dustinq.

Dust. like the poor. is always with us, and the process of dnstins con- sumes a large part of the time of the house wife. Many thrifty workers carry small dust cloth in the pocket, then when going upstairs dust the treads and banisters; on coming down dust the railing.
 Now that we are beginning to re- alize that dust contains living germs. many of them disease germs. which are only waiting for favorable condi- tions to develop. we should nse more care in the removal of dust Brushing with a feather duster only stirs np the dust, to be taken into tho lungs through the air we breathe. An amusing story Is told by Max O'Rell: When visiting in this coun- try. his hostess and he came into room where maid was welding duster with more vigor than jndg- ment. and replied. when asked what she was doing: Why, I'm dusting." Her mistress requested her to please undust."
 Much using of tho broom ls often unnecessary. to pick up loose threads and brush up footmarks takes less time than ordinary sweeping, which leaves the dusting still to be done. Busting is an art. For plain surfaces soft, absorbent cloth, slightly damp is the best, using a brush and pointed stick to reach corners and cracks
 The cloth should be shaken and well washed after using The manu- factured dust cloth winch contains an oil and holds the dust is quite pop ular enc at present.
 Possibly we shall some day again build our houses or dwelling places so simple and elemental in character that they will fit into the, hooks, of4 tho hills or along the banks of streams or by the edges of the woods without disturbing the harmony of tho land. scape or the songs of the birds. Ed. ward Carpenter.
 The sensible furniture of today is without grooves and carving is easily dusted The less upholstered turni- ture the better and more sanitary is our home Chairs may be as com fortable of rattan or wood with mova. bic cushions and tho hominesa for which we strive is not lost for a euah. lon will add a spot of color and make q restful seat at tho same time.

CHAPTER XXI.
Anne Watson's Story

NtHlc watson $ story.
 Liddy discovered the fresh break in the trunkroom wall while we were at luncheon, and ran shrieking down the stairs. She maintained that. as she entered, unseen hands had been digging at the plaster; that they had stopped when she went in. and she had felt gust of cold damp air. In support of her story she carried in my wet and muddy boots, that had unluckily forgotten to hide. and held
 What did l tell you?' she said dramatically Look at 'em. They're yours, Miss Rachel-and covered with mud and soaked to the tops. I tell you, you can scoff all you like; some thing has been wearing your shoes AS sure as you sit there, there's the smell of the graveyard on them. How do we know they weren't tramping through the Casanova churchyard last night. and sitting on the graves,"
 MT. Jamieson almost choked to death. Il wouldn't be at all surprised if they were doing that very thing Liddy" he said, when he got his breath. They certainly look like it."
 l think the detective had plan on which he was working, but which was meant to be coup. But things went so fast there was no time 60 carry it into effect The first thing that occurred was message from the Charity hospital that Mrs. Wal son was dying and had asked for me. l did not care much about going There is a sort of melancholy plea sure to be had out of a funeral. with its pomp and ceremony. but shrank got out the black things and the crepe veil I keep for such occasions, and l went. I left MT Jamieson and the day detective going over every inch of the circular staircase. pounding, probing and measuring. l was inward ly elated to think of the surprise was going to give them that night; as 1t turned out l did surprise them-al- most into spasms.
 I drove from the train to the Chari- ty hospital, and was at once taken to a ward. There. is a graywalled room in high iron bed. lay Mrs. Wat son. She was very weak and she only opened her eyes and looked at me when l sat down beside her. l was conscience-stricken We had been so engrossed that l had left this poor creature to die without even a word of sympathy
 The nurse gave her a stimulant, and in a little while she was able to talk So broken and half-coherent. however, was her story that l shall tell it in my own way. In an hour from the time l entered the Charity hospital had heard a sad and pitiful narrative, and had seen woman slip into the uneonsciousness that is only a step from death.
 Briefly. then, the housekeeper story was this:
 She was almost 40 years old, and had been the sister-mother of large family of children. One by one they had died. and been buried beside their narents in little town in the middle west There was only one sister left, the baby. Lucy. On her the older girl had layished all the love of an impul- sive and emotional nature, When Anne. the elder. was 32 and Lucy 1s, n voung man had come to the town. ue was going east, after spending the summer at a celebrated ranch in Wy oming-one of those places where wealthy men send worthless and dis sipat.d sons for season O. temper
