which gained currency at Manila just
prior to the departure of the Pacific

three vivid flashes of crimson and

then the acrid reek of smokeless

the sky, where the V-shaped flock had
been, two stricken bundles of blood
stained feathers fell slowly, fluttering.

GARDEN ON VALUABLE LAND
Small Patch In Heart Of City Of Lon
don 10 One Of Capitals
Curiosities.

There are many curious things
about the Bank of England, but among
them how many know that it possess
SEES respectable garden? It is to be
found just inside the Threadneedle
street entrance. on the left-hand side
This old-fashioned garden has a
fountain in the center. graveled paths
and couple Of trees, the whole form
ing quadrangle with the bank build
ing running all round.
Its history Is curious one. In real
ity this garden is the churchyard Of
the vanished Church of St. Christie
pher-le-Stock, which used to stand
where the Mansion House now is.
One reason why the church was
pulled down was because it's tower
completely overlooked the bank. and
1t was feared that it would be dan
ger to the "Old Lady" IL the church
was occupied by rioters.
AS the bank occupies the site of the
entire parish of st. Christopher-le-
Stock. it is said that any freeman of
the city can claim admission to the
old garden. But, as a matter of fact,
any one who cares to see it may do SO
during business hours, and it is we'll
worth visit, If only for the fact that
1t is the most valuable garden in the
world.

Wanted to Sell Her Lea,

Willing, she asserts, to sacrifice q
finger, foot, arm or leg in an effort to
relieve her poverty, woman, whose
name was not divulged, living in
Govans, has written to the physicians
of Franklin Square hospital with an
unusual and pathetic appeal for finan-
cial assistance.
The letter conveys. say the physi-
clans, sad story Of much suffering
as the result of poverty by woman
who was once in good circumstances,
but who has recently been reduced to
abject restitution. She named no
specific price for her sacrifice, accord
ing to the doctors. but asked for an
early reply if her offer was to be con-
sidered. The only restriction that she
made was that her name be kept a
secret.-Baltimore Evening Sun.

But on the seventh morning 1t be-
came evident that q burglary had
been visited upon the home of his
hosts. A window had been forced in
the rear Of the house and q trail of
burnt matches and candle-grease be-
tween that entrance and the door of
Amber's room, together with the
somewhat curious circumstance that
nothing whatever was missing from
the personal effects of the Quains,
forced him to make an explanation.
For his own belongings had been
ri1ed and the bronze box alone alb.
stracted-still preserving it's secret.

WHAT PUZZLED THE NEWSBO1'
He Didn't Understand Primary Cause
Of Trouble, but Motorman Could
Have Told Him.

It was very busy hour on Forty
second street, and the traffic cops"
were having their hands extremely
full. relates the New York Sun. Just
az things were starting along, after
a complicated blockade, little news
boy dropped a quarter, and darted
out into the street after it, under the
nose Of motorman who had just
started his car.
The indignant motorman threw on
the brakes with a jerk. AS the car
came to sudden stop an automo-
bile directly behind it turned sharply
to one side to avoid a collision. 1t
skidded, the hood coming under the
startled noses of pair of dray hors-
es. One of the front tires blew up
with loud report.
This was too much for the horses,
and they jumped forward together.
In another minute the heavily loaded
dray was careening down the side
walk, the people scattering in terror.
A lamp post was knocked over, and
the dray, thrown violently in the 9TH
er direction, upset, flinging a couple
Of heavy boxes through a brilliantly
lighted display window.
The broken electric lights fixed
for minute, then the f1imsy trim
mings Of the window caught fire, and
In few minutes the changing of the
fire department was added to the up
roar, and the crowd extended for q
full block in either direction.
When the fire was out, and the
wreckage was being cleared away,
the 'newsboy, with his quarter safe
in his pocket, turned away and start
ed down the street, murmuring to
himself: Gee, l wonder what be-
gun all dat fuss!"

When a kinQ In LII.

And there is this curious psyche
logical fact to be remembered: A seri-
Ous illness or a death advertises the
doctor exactly as a hanging advertises
the barrister who defended the per-
son hanged. Suppose, for example, a
royal parsonage gets something wrong
with his throat, or has a pain in his
inside. If q doctor effects some
trumpery cure with a wet compress
or peppermint lozenge nobody takes
the least notice Of him. But If he
operates on the throat and kills the
patient, or extirpates an internal or
gan and keeps the whole nation pal
pitating for days while the patient
hovers in pain and fever between life
and death, his fortune is made. Ev-
cry rich man who omits to call him in
when the same symptoms appear in
his household is held not to have done
his utmost duty to the patient. The
wonder is that there is a king or
queen left alive in Europe-G. B.

by an avalanche in miniature.

They plodded on heavily, making
fair progress In spite of the hindering
sand.
A little later they came to the wa
ter's edge and proceeded steadily
along it, Quain leading confidently.
Eventually he tripped over some OBJ
stacle, stumbled and lurched forward
and recovered his balance with an
effort, then remained with bowed
head, staring down at his feet.

Then what in"

a frayed end of rope, exhibiting 1t IN

He cast the rope from him in dis

"There!" he cried, leveling an arm
to indicate dark and fleeting shadow
upon the storm-whipped water. There
