laughed Harris, and then as Bertrano's
face did not relax its seriousness he
added sharply. You cannot mean
that you believe there is any connec-
ton between the cat mummy you de-
spoiled OF its eyes and-my Hara
here?' His voice was incredulous.
''Why not?" demanded Bertrand.
"Recollect what you have told me con-
cerning her-how she came to you
apparently from nowhere. She Is
sightless, and she flies into a fury
whenever you speak i'll OF the Princess
Hara. Look at her now"
Hara sat among the cushions, her
beautiful topaz eyes fixed on Ber-
trand's face. Her tail softly lashed
the cushions, while her heavy claws
nervously pricked in and out of their
velvet sheaths.
whats your idea?" asked Harris
after a pause. Want to replace the
cats eyes and restore the sight of my
reincarnated pussyT'
mo harm in trying" said Bertrand
doggedly. II had the stones set in
cuff links I'll pry them out If you'll
guarantee to replace them in the cats
head"
"Hara doesn't take kindly to having
her eyes fused with" remarked Har-
ris, "but l have had to take 'em out
once or twice and we'll see what can
be done with yours. Too bad to spoil
your links, though"
"I don't care for them now," remark
ed Bertrand as he deftly pried the jew
els from their setting. Examine them.
Harris, and you'll see that they are
peculiar in shape and singularly large.
What do you suppose will happen"
Several scratches and bites from
MY gentle Hara," smiled Harris as he
caught up the cat and with few care
full movements of gloved hands made
the transfer of Jeweled eyes

laughed Harris as the cat leaped to the
floor and approached Bertrand. Very
likely recognizes you as the chap who
deprived her of her eyesight and
Oh, my Lord, what is thatT
He pointed a shaking nnger at the
sleek form OF the Egyptian cat. Hara.
and Bertrand stared down at the hor-
rible transformation that was taking
place at his feet.
Hara. the cat, so lately vibrant with
life and activity and splitting venom
ously at her master, sat in the mid
die of the rug, apparently shriveling
into a small dried replica OF a mum
mified cat
The two men watched her with
bated breath. She suddenly toppled
over and lay still, little dark brown
bundle with frayed edges of linen cloth
clinging to her form. The only spark
of light about her were the jeweled
cats eyes that stared unwinkingly at
the ceiling.
There was a smell of myrrh and ben
zoin and other sweet scented gums.
That's what's happened" said Ber-
trand. with a queer laugh. What are
we going to do with it2"
Harris was looking at his watch.
I'VE are going to catch that liner in
the morning. and we are going to
Egypt TO restore Princess Hara's ia
vorite cat to its resting place. AS for
these topaz eyes. she won't need 'em
any more. We may as we'll let these

As the two men entered the darken-
ed studio Bertrand stumbled over
something that spat and Missed back
at him. There were two points of
fame that glared at him from a dis
tant corner.
Heavens! What was that?" ejacu-
lated Bertrand, with a nervous laugh.
Harris snapped on the shaded cleo
trio lamp and turned a carelessly smil-
ing face toward his friend. mo one
but Hara-and she won't hurt you.
Probably her dignity's ruffied because
you used her for a doormat. Here,
old girl"
The cat came from behind a deeply
valanced chair with deliberately pad
ding velvet footballs and many side
long look at Bertrand. She leaped
into the artists lap and arched her
back under his caressing.
"A cat! How the dickens did 1t
occur to you to keep a cat?" growled
Bertrand, showing resentment that
seemed entirely out of keeping with
the unimportance Of the matter.
Game to me, and so had to keep
her," explained the artist. See any
thing queer about herr"
Bertrand stared at the creature, al
most with dread in his eyes. She was
a sleek, graceful animal of an indef-
mite smoke gray color, short haired
and round headed. with the peculiar
ears that mark the Egyptian feline.
Her eyes. large and round and pale
topaz in color. stared at him strangely.
He turned his own glance away hastily.
See anything queer about herr" re-
peated Harris.

In a divorce case in New York the
learned referee has set up the gar
bage can ss touchstone of affection.
"No man will set out a woman's gar
bage can for her but her servant, her
husband CT her lover" The defendant
was proved TO have set out the gar
bage can for a woman whom he de-
scribed as his landlady. The referee
declined to accept this, and as the man
was certainly neither the servant nor
the husband Of the woman, the referee
recommends that the plaintiff be al

The Longest Strike on Record.

In Westmoreland county, Pa, the
longest strike on record still drags
on. A S. Crapsey has Just finished
complete investigation and makes
a thrilling report in the August
American magazine.
It is a coal strike and it has been
going steadily on since March 10,
1910. On one side are the operat-
ors, and on the other side are the
United Mine Workers of America.
The operators are organized, but
they object to the unionizing Of the
men. The quarrel really started
over that point. Then questions Of
pay, conditions Of labor and so on.
became involved.
But 1t Is the cost Of the quarrel
that is most interesting now. The
United Nine Workers have actually
paid out million dollars in cash to
the men who are on strike. The
operators have spent half a million
for extra police protection. Untold
millions are the loss through limi-
tation Of output and increased ex-
penses.
Twenty lives have been lost and
unspeakable suffering incurred
Babies have been born IN the open
fields where the strikers have camp
ed out. Sickness has abounded.
Drinking has increased. Moral de-
generation has set IN. Physical
weakening Of the men has taken
place. It IL a terrible story.
The war is coming to q close be-
cause the miners have exhausted
their resources and must give up.
Mr.. Crapsey. who writes in great
fairness, says. in conclusion:
No one could be with these men
for any length Of time without feel
ing for them a pathetic admiration
They were sacrificing their immed-
late comfort for future good. They
were fighting for cause. They
were convinced that they were bat
Ting for two primitive rights of man,
the right of a man to own himself,
and the right Of a man to own his
Job. Most of them had come from
eastern Europe allured by promises
of freedom and plenty. They found
slavery and starvation awaiting
them. One Italian said to me, draw
ing his hand across his neck. 4
Gamma live like a man, I cutta a
throat
These men were living on starva-
ton allowances. The union gave
each man two dollars and a half a
week, with a small additional sum
for each child. They were limited
to the simplest food; bread and mo-
lasses was a luxury. They would
march every afternoon distance of
five miles to and from the mines,
and go supperless to bed; and yet
they hold on. There is a wistful
look in their faces as if they didn't
understand, as if they were asking
of this great country: Where is the
freedom you promised me? Where is
the plenty?'
THE condition of the women and
children in the shacks that the Ia
Dor unions have built TO shelter them
will not bear description. They are
herded without any regard for com
fort or decency; they live in their
own filth; they are eaten of vermin;

The Difference.

Perhaps the times are out OF Joint;
Perhaps their workings Jar.
The man whose luck is on the rocks
Is mighty sure they are.
But he whose saw Is nice and sharp
And cutting loads OF wood
Is certain as his profits swell
They never were so good.
He who has taken oil the bumps
AS each one came along
Looks out upon the world and sees
That everything is wrong.
But for the one who only got
The little cushioned shocks
He cannot understand the man
Who looks abroad and knocks
One cannot calmly look around
And view the landscape DER,
Philosophizing on the facts
At hand and nothing moro.
He judges by his daily walk.
1t all depends lot
If he is hero of the piece
Or victim OF the plot
The point OF view is thus secured
As circumstances press
And IL they strike below the belt
Or ride him to success.
He cannot think that hope is gone
Or that it's lamp burns dim
If In his chase for daily bread
The world is kind to him.
