Weather Prophet.

Down around Hartford there's
weather prophet that is right
on the job. Listen to what he
has to say:
I'm the first place, our last
winter, barring few slight
drops in the temperature in De-
cember, began in January and
continued until September. The
law of compensation holds good
in nature as in other things, and
while it may be more variable in
weather conditions than in other
things, it is not to De set aside as
impossible. 1t is at least reason
able to believe that, our last VIM
ter period having been abnor-
mally prolonged, the coming sea-
son may be shortened by way of
compensation. This seems to be
verified by other indications no
ticeable to the observant student
of nature. The corn shuck is
not thick and heavy, the outer
bark Of trees and shrubs has as
sumed no extra thickness, and
the blackbirds are holding daily
consultations with a view of re-
naming with us and thus saving
the trouble Of their customary
migration. At least the voluble
chattefing of the noisy creatures
possesses a note of Joy and salts
lied cOntentment unusual at this
season Of the year." He also
says that his goosebone, taken
from fowl raised especially to
foretell the weather, and killed
when conditions were just right,
foretells that the month of De-
cember will be one of the pref
test on record and that Christmas
week will be beautiful sunshiny
one and we'll have to enjoy our
merrymaking without the inspir-
alton of snow. Following this
pretty spell will be period of
rain and slush that will last
through the first week in Feb
ruary, when it will turn off clear
and cold and crisp. This ideal
weather will be broken up by
hard March rains that will soon
usher in the Spring which will
come unusually early

| less, and that there was but one
clew which he had discovered
which might aid him. Banks knew
that the detective was not man
to give up. Several restless nights
were passed by the anxious par
ents, and then a telegram was re-
ceived summoning them to the de-
tective's headquarters.
Scarcely had they seated them
lselves in the reception room, when
the door leading to the private Of
flee opened, and Teeny with cry
of delight rushed into her moth

clad in his smoking jacket, his
calm face coneealing his emotions.
After considerable persuasion
on the part of the parents, Bern
stein told his story.
upon reaching the scene of the
abduction" began the detective,
II learned that the child when
last seen was playing in the yard
with pet cat. This fact alone
would have been of little value.
l learned, however, that the cat
was yellow"
The detective spread city map
upon the table. In various dis
tricts appeared in red ink the
words: yellow CATS" "black
CATS" white CATS" tiger CATS"
maltese CATS" and cats of vari-
GUS colors.
The detective continued: "The
lower animals have been following
the tendency of race utilization.
The average citizen would scarcely
believe it, but / have discovered
that cats have been colonizing ac-
lcording to kind, not unlike our
foreign population. If you were to
watch the alleys of the city you
would find black cats in one sec
ton, white cats in another, and
other breeds in other districts. My
attention was first called to the
matter because valuable cats were
constantly straying from their
homes and the Lost columns of
the city papers showed this to be
a growing tendency. AS a test l
secured several cats of various col
ors and turned them loose, each
bearing distinguishing ribbon tied
to it's neck. The police watched
for them, and their reports soon
confirmed my theory.
after l had been at work on
the case a short time, l learned
that your cat was missing. l sur
missed that the child had either
been bagged with the cat in its
arms, or that the cat had followed
it's playmate. I next notified the
police to be on the lookout for
a yellow cat in a section of the
city where cats of that color were
not to be found. In a couple of
days an officer had located the
cat.
1.-THE rest was easy. Some OF
my men watched the premises and
secured the cat. The house was
then surrounded, and one of my
lsubordinates entered as a peddler.
The woman was seized, gagged,
and bound. We found Teeny in
an adjoining room we'll cared for.
| 1t was the purpose of the wretches
| to hold her for ransom"
The detective turned to a closet
and brought forth a basket. Care
fully removing the lid, he reached
down and quickly placed the yell
