A Ienend Ahout Cats

The ancient Greeks thought that all creatures except cats had souls and that that animal lost its soul through a bargain made between bridge architect and the devil. The arehi- tect had besought the devil to get help in constructing an exceedingly dan gerous bridge structure. and his sa- tanic majesty only consented to lend aid on condition that the first creature to cross it should lose its soul. This was agreed upon. the bridge finished in due time and the devil sent to the opposite side 10 await his prey. The shrewd architect took good care to send cat over before any human be ing was allowed to cross. On learning of the bargain the cat recroSsed the bridge and scratched the architects eyes out.

BRADDocK's ROCK.
Washinston's Historic Landmark to Be
 Protected From Vandals.

Braddocks rock. one of the historic landmarks of Washington. Is to be preserved and protected against the yandal souvenir hunter, says the Bal. tipore American. Many years ago tlfe Society of Colonial Danes placed descriptive tablet on the stone and inclosed the area with low iron fence, but visitors and local vandals defaced the tablet, carried off parts of the stone and finally began taking away portions of the fence until there was danger of the ultimate disappear ance of the rock.
 Braddock's rock is located on the banks of the Potomac river, nearly midway between Twenty fourth and Twenty-ffth streets. 1t is south of the Naval Medical School hospital, on the line of Upper Water street, just north of R street. Originally it stood high above the level of the ground. but now it lies in hole in the ground about six feet below the level of the surrounding territory in mass of weeds The rock gets it's name from the fact that it marks the landing place of the British and colonial troops under General Braddock on their ill fated march in 1755 from Alexandria through the District of Columbia Maryland and Pennsylvania to Fort DuQuesne mew Pittshurgl. where the British were annihilated by the French troops and their Indian allies. Gen eral George Washington, then n colo mel of the Virginia troops, accompa nicd General Braddoek. and il was because the British veteran eoutemp- ,uously disraearded the advice of the young eoloHal e2irer that the eXpedi ton ended in complete disaster

If you travel against the sun you will have to add a day to the calendar.
 The convention that has been estab- lished with regard to this matter IS to consider the day as beginning at the IS0th meridian. so that the 1Slst meridian is always day ahead Of the 179th. As the day begins first at the 1S0th meridian, the New Year comes first at that point. too, being there twelve hours sooner than 1t comes at Greenwich.

CHAPTER III.

The exigencies of the story carry US
westward once more. The scene is
the San Francisco office of Messrs
Carboy, Passavant & Cozine. The
time, six weeks subsequent to the
funeral of Andrew Meleen. There en-
ters to the private room Of our old
friend, Phineas Carboy, a certain
Roger Hews. who at sundry and divers
times acted in the capacity of conf
Dental agent for the firm; even lit
tie detective work came occasionally
in his line quiet, sleek, unobtrusive
sort of fellow outwardly, straw-colored
as to hair and closely trimmed whis-
kers soberly dressed, aged about
thirty-five, agile as a mountain cat,
shifty as red fox, and walking ad-
vertisement of the truth of that old
adage about still waters running
deeply.
When did you get back?" quoth
Mr.. Carboy, with nod.
Last night, sir"
How did you find those matters in
Pennsylvania"
Quite satisfactory, 1 should say.
Everything seems to be about as you
expected"
Concerning Mrs. Meleen, now:
Were you able to confirm her mar
riage and subsequent decease"
THE woman died on the 10th Of
October, '65, and was buried in Nanti-
coke township. could find no record
of her marriage to Mr.. Meleen."
These statements were perfectly true
ON their face.
And the child-what of the child?"
There was no record of either it's
birth or death"
This was deliberate lie!
That's awkward exclaimed Mr..
Carboy. "Meleen distinctly stated
that there was child. How do you
account for the discrepancy"
Very simply. If the mother died
in travail and the child with her, as
1 inferred from your instructions,
there might naturally have been no
record of the infants entrance into
or departure from the world. In all
likelihood the baby would not even
be named"
That's not altogether improbable" !"
assented the lawyer, scratching his
nose. But the point is vital one.
1t is hardly likely that Meleen could
have been mistaken in his belief, and
yet-Are you altogether sure of your
facts?"
Perfectly" was the unfiinching re-
ply
Which was lie number two.

ter, such as neighborhood gossip or

counts learning, but eager, receptive,
possessing an eye for beauty and for
color, with love for music, an un-
formed, omnivorous appetite for
books, and an instructive shrinking
from the sordid and the mean, the
bonds of even respectable poverty are
apt to prove especially calling. Like
Bella Wilfer, he realized to the full
what 1t meant to be "beastly poor, mis-
erably poor"
What wonder, then, that his long
ings, his aspirations, his day dreams,
were centered about that wealth he
so often saw others abusing, or mis-
using, or keeping napkin-tied? Not
for the miser's greed of possession,
but for the qualification of the best
that was in him, did he long for money
heaps and heaps of IT,
Overnight day dreams, fortunately,
come cheap, and they leave no dark
brown taste in the mouth. The next
morning, when Wilfrid Stennis went
downtown to the Front street store,
he was again the prosaic' and method
ical young entry clerk. No one would
have suspected him of secret yearn-
ings for fast horses, a faster yacht,
and little lutter around the tables
so Hospitality maintained by the
prince of Monaco.
