CHAPTER vi.
A Mighty Poor Joke.

OF course, one knows that there are
people who in different grade of so
eiety would be shoplifters and pick
pockets. When they are restrained
by obligation or environment they be-
come a little overkeen at bridge, or
take the wrong sables, or stuff a gold
backed brush into a muff at a recep-
ton. You remember the ivory dress
ing set that Theodora Bucknell had,
fastened with fine gold chains? And
the sensation it caused at the Buck
nell cotillion when Mrs Van Zire went
sweeping to her carriage with two
feet Of gold chain hanging from the
front of her wrap?
But Anne's pearl collar was differ
ent- In the first place, instead Of
three or four hundred people, the sus-
picion had to be divided among ten.
And of those ten, at least eight of us
were friends, and the other two had
been vouched for by the Browns and
Jimmy. 1t was horrible mix-up. For
the necklace was gone-there couldn't
be any doubt of that-and although,
as Dallas said, it couldn't get out of
the house, still, there were plenty of
places to hide the thing.
The worst Of our trouble really
originated with Max Reed, after all.
For it was Max who made the silly
wager over the telephone, with Dick
Bagley. He bet FIVE hundred even
that one of us, at least, would break
quarantine within the next "a hours,
and, Of course, that settled it. Dick
told 1t around the club as a Joke, and
a man who owns a newspaper heard
him and called up the paper Then
after setting up a flaming scare-head,
"Will Money Free Them? Board of
Health versus Millionaire"
It was almost three when the house
settled down-nobody mad any night
clothes, although finally, through Dali
las, who gave them to Anne, who gave
them to the rest, we got some things
Of Jimmy's-and I was still dressed.
The house was perfectly quiet, and
after listening carefully, l went SLOW
ly down the stairs. There was light
in the hall, and another back in the
dining room, and I got along without
any trouble. But the pantry, where
the stairs led down, was dark. and the
wretched swinging door would not
stay open.
l caught my skirt in the door as I
went through, and had to stop to
loosen it. And In that awful minute
heard some one breathing Just be-
side me. had stopped to my gown.

Strengthening couldn't have raised
myself to an erect posture, for my
knees were giving way under me
and just at my feet lay the still glow
ing end of match!
l had to swallow twice before I
could speak. Then 1 said sharply:
who's there?"
The man was SO close 1t is
wonder had not walked into him: his
voice was right at my ear.
II am sorry l startled you," he said
quietly. II was afraid to speak sud-
denly, or move, for fear 1 would do
what have DONE"
1t was Mr.. HARRISON.

CURED HER BABY OF ECZEMA

can tell IN WORDS now nappy tn0
word 'Cuticura' sounds to me, for it
cured my baby Of itching, torturing
eczema. 1t first came when she was
between three and four weeks old,
appearing on her head. I used every
thing imaginable and had one doc
tors bill after another, but nothing
cured it. Then the eczema broke out
so badly behind her ear that I really
thought her ear would come off,. For
months 1 doctored it but to no avail
Then it began at her nose and her
eyes were nothing but sores. 1 had to
keep her in dark room for two
weeks. The doctor did no good, so
stopped him coming.
''For about two weeks I had used
Cuticura Soap for her every day,
then got a box Of Cuticura Ointment
and began to use that In a week
all I used two cakes Of Cuticura Soap
and one box of Cuticura Ointment and
my baby was cured of the sores. This
was last November; now her hair is
growing out nicely and she has not a
scar on her. 1 can not praise Cuti-
cura enough, can take my child any
where and people are amazed to see
her without sore. From the time
she was four weeks old until she was
three years she was never without the
terrible eruption, but now, thanks to
Cuticura, I have a we'll child" (Sign-

Sad story Of the Demise Of Lizzie the
Cat and Rags the Spanish
Poodle.

Peter jacobson, second mate Of
the steamship Amelia, leaned detect
eddy over the side and refused to be
comforted.
EYES," he said to inquirers, 'Liz-
zie is dead"
Deep silence in the presence Of
grief.
"She was tortoise-shell cat, with
one ear chewed off," the mate exc
planned. "She wasn't any beauty,
I'll admit; neither was Rags, but
they were the pride Of the ship. Rags
was black Spanish poodle-at least,
he looked more like that than any
thing else. He and Liz used to eat
out of the same dish and play around
on the deck like brothers. Well, De-
cember 80, off Cape Hatteras-I can
give you the date because the story
is all down on the log-he and the
cat were up forward trying TO find
out whether the captains Sunday
socks would tear or not.
"Along came a wave that slammed
up over the rail and right across the
deck. Rags and Liz went right into
the sea-"
Then Peter looked into the dis
lance and said nothing.
Yep, Lizzie was dead.-New York

THE SNAIL AND THE SCREW.

1t is no doubt true that nearly all
human inventions have been suggest
ed by natural objects. Mons. Charles
Fremont, of the French School Of
Mines, points out an interesting ex-
ample in the case of the screw, the
fundamental idea of which, he be-
heves, was suggested to primitive
man by the spiral shell of the edible
snail. 1t was not the shape of the
shell that suggested the screw, but
the spiral motion which it is neces-
sary to give to the body of the snail
in order to withdraw it from the
shell. This at once showed that an
object Of a screw shape embedded in
a solid powerfully resisted attempts
to withdraw it by straight pull.
The hint was enough, and the screw
became one of the earliest of mans

srIRReD NEW YORK CROWD
Foolish Performance In Metropolis
That Gathered Numbers Of
Loitcrers.

Behold how small a matter can
call together big crowd and create
great excitement even in a city sup
posed to be thoroughly sophisticated !
The New York correspondent Of the
Pittsburg Dispatch narrstes the in
cident: "a young man wearing a
suit Of overalls and straw hat and
carrying fishing rod appeared re-
Gently at Seventh avenue and Ninth
street, Brooklyn. He carried q fold
ing camp chair and a creel hung BY
a strap over his shoulder. Seating
himself on the camp chair he filed
a corncob pipe with tobacco and
lighted'it. Then he baited the hook
on his line and lowered it into the
sewer basin on the corner. For ten
minutes the lone fisherman sat there
solemnly, putting at his pipe and
watching his line. Then another
young man pushed his way through
the gaping, wondering crowd which
had formed. Without a word, or
even a suggestion of a grin, he took
a dead goldfish from his pocket,
pulled up the fsherman's line. at
tached the fish to the hook and then
dropped it back into the basin. Feel
ing the bite the fisherman gravely
reeled in his catch. Putting the fish
in the creel the pair went soberly off
up Ninth street and disappeared.
Up to a late hour none of the
asylums had reported the escape Of
inmates, so the performance may
have been a college initiation or the

HAD COLD FEET AND CoRNS
Trouble That Made Mike, the Black
Bear, Cry All Day Diagnosed
by Park Policeman.

Mike, the black bear in the Gen.
trail park menagerie, had cold feet,
and as result cried all day. His
trouble was diagnosed by one of the
park police who has pounded the
menagerie walks for a number of
years. In that time he has never
missed in his representations.
81 tell you he's got cold feet.
That's all there is to it," he said.
"And his corns hurt him, too. If you
walked around on that concrete floor
for all the years that Mike has you'd
have corns also"
"Maybe he stepped on a tack" the
keeper suggested.
81 should say not. If a bear ever
stepped on tack he would sit down
and pull it out. That's a genuine
case of cold feet and corns, believe
me. What you want to do is to get
that bear hot brick right away"
AS there we're no hot bricks avail
able, Mike had to roll up in some
straw in his den to get relief from
the cold flooring of his cage.-New

LEFT-HANDED BEAR.

An old Pennsylvania hunter has
been telling about his encounter
with left-handed bear. He was out
with three dogs, and they scented
bear and ran away ahead. When the
hunter came up the bear was at bay,
and he stood for some time enjoying
their antics. The dogs were expert
enced and active, and managed to
escape any serious injury, but the
left-handed cracks they got evident
ly confused them. The hunter says
the bear never once used his right
paw, and, after knocking the dogs
over a half-dozen times, they became
alarmed and refused to advance.
Then the hunter put stop to the
sport with a bullet.
