SAVING THE SEAGULLS
 AND THE EGRETS

Twenty years ago the gulls and terms of the Atlantic sea-board were in im- minent danger of extinction by the milliners' agents. Hundreds of thous- ands of these birds had been slaugh- tered in the breeding season and some species had almost disappeared.
 MT. Abbot H. Thayer started a sub- scription fund to pay Wardens to pro- tect the birds during the breeding sea son, and then the National Association of Audubon Societies took over the work. Under the care of this organ ization the birds have increased won- derfully in numbers. When the work was begun 'there were on the New
 England Coast only about 20 pairs of
 laughing gulls which bred on Muske- gat Island. Now there are more than thousand there and they are spread
 ing along the coast to the Gulf of
 Maine. The increase of the herring gulls and the terms under this. pro-
 lection has been phenomenal. Even the least tern or sea swallow, which was nearing extinction in the East is increasing.
 At the beginning strenuous at: tempt was made to save the herons rets formerly were scattered through the United States in large numbers in all suitable localities from the Hud- son River to Oregon and from Florida to California. The enortS made 10 protect them came so late that not wihhstanding all that could be done to save them they continued to decrease until about three years ago William Butcher, president of the National Association of Audubon Societies lean ed to the belief that nothing could save them from extermination. The plume hunters had killed three war dens, ''shot out'' the heronries that the wardens were employed to protect and had managed to shoot up other heronries while the wardens were tenn porarily absent, until probably only a few hundred birds were left in the United States and these were scatter ed far and wide. When MT. Butcher was suddenly stricken down, MT. T. Gilbert Pearson, secretary of the Ma tionaI Association, gave up the at- tempt to protect the egrets against the Indians and desperadoes of South ern Florida and he and the directors of the association turned their ener- gfes toward other States in the at-- tempt to save the few birds left.
 Thus far the enterprise has been successful beyond expectation. Last year about three thousand egrets were known to be in existence and this year there are at least five thousand in known colonies scattered through the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf States. I

might think, whatever might have against Harry Wardrop, determined then that he had had absolutely noth- ing to do with little Miss Maitland's $ strange disappearance.
 The first place we explored was a closed and walled in wine cellar long unused and to which access was gain ed by a small window in the stone foundation of the house. We moved every trunk in the storeroom. The grounds had been gone over inch by inch without affording any clew, and now the three of us faced one another. The day was almost gone, and we were exactly where we started. Hunt CT had sent men through the town and the adjacent countryside. but no word had. come from them. Miss Letitia had at last succumbed to the suspense and had gone to bed, where she lay quietly enough, as is the way with the old, but so mild that she was alarming.
 At 5 o'clock Hawes called me up from the office and almost tearfully implored me to come back and attend to my business. When, said it was impossible I could hear him groan. Hawes is of the opinion that by keep ing fresh magazines in my waiting room and by persuading me to the ex- travagance of Turkish rugs he has built up my practice, to its present fourishing state. When left the tele- phone Hunter was preparing to go back to town and Wardrop was walk ing up and down the hall. Suddenly Wardrop stopped his uneasy, prome- made and hailed the detective.

CHAPTER VI. Concerning Marqery.

~ATARDROP showed us the pan | RMf el in the hall, which slid to wv one side when he pushed a
 bolt under the carpet. The blackness of the closet was horrible in its suggestion to me. l stepped back while Hunter struck match and look ed in.
 The closet was empty.
 Better not go in," Wardrop said. sIt hasn't been used for years and it's black with dust. I found it myself and showed it to Miss Jane. don't believe Miss Letitia knows it is here. "
 Tt hasn't been used for years!" re- dected Hunter. q suppose it has been some time since you were in here, MT. Wardrop?''
 Several years," Wardrop replied carelessly. II used to keep contraband here in my college days, cigarettes and that sort of thing. haven't been in it since then"
 Hunter took his foot off a small ob- ject~ that lay on the floor.
 Here is the fountain pen you lost this morning, MT. Wardrop," he said quietly.
 When Hunter had finally gone at 6 o'clock, summoned to town on urgent business, we were very nearly where we had been before he came. He could only give us theories, and after all, what we wanted was fact-and Miss Jane.
 Why had Wardrop' lied about so small matter as his fountain pen? The closet was empty. What object could he have had in saying he had not been in it for years? found that my belief in his sincerity of the night before was going.
 It would have been easy enough for him to rob himself, and, if he had an eye for the theatrical, to work out just some such plot. It was even pos sible that he had hidden for few hours in the secret closet the contents of the Russia leather bag. But, what ever Wardrop might or might not be, he gave me little chance to find out, did that afternoon, and it was later, and under strange circumstances, that I met him again.
 Hunter had not told me what was on the paper he had picked out of the basket in Miss James room, and ] knew he was as much puzzled as I at the scrap in the little cupboard with eleven twenty-two on it. It occurred to me that it might mean the twenty. second day of the eleventh month, per- haps something that had happened on some momentous, long buried 22d of November. But this was May, and the finding of, two slips bearing the same number was too unusual.
 After Hunter left went back to the closet under the upper stairs and with some difficulty got the panel open again. The space inside, perhaps eight feet feet high at one end and four al the other, was empty. There was q row of hooks, as if at some time cloth ing had been hung there, and a f1a' shelf at one end, gray with dust

REBELS REPORTED
NEAR WABABI RANCH

REBELS REPORTED &c. &c. ....
DOUGLAS. October 9.-(Special)-
!. r. T. Paxton. manager of the
Mababi ranch in Sonora, west Of
YzabaI, returned yesterday from a
trip to the property and states that
a band OF so rebels were within
ten miles of the property but could
not be definitely located by the
ranch hands, and had made no at
tack.
This news was brought to the
ranch by one OF the hands who
made a trip to Nogales on business,
and while returning sighted band
of about $50 rebels crossing the
NogaIes ranch. He said that 50 Of
these left the main column, stating
they were going to the Mababi
ranch. About 100 federals at Ba-
cachi. who were coming north.
headed the rebels off toward the
Aio mountains, where it is thought
they have headquarters. The feder-
ais came on TO Yzabal and camped
there.
When Mr.. Paxton heard OF the
coming OF the 50 rebels. ne tele-
phoned at once TO Yzabal to the
commander of the federal troops
there to come to the ranch at once,
as there we're rebels near. He was
informed by the federal commander
that he could not move his troops
without orders from headquarters,
and that it was too late at night
for him to take up the matter.
Friday morning 100 troops under
Colonel Munoz were sent overland
from Fronteras and arrived at the
ranch on Saturday evening. camped
there for the night and inquired
little from the natives about the
location Of the rebels, and, without
sending out any scouts, left Sun
asy morning for Yzabal. They stat
ed that they were going there to
get a train to take them to From
teras and then to the Ajos noun
tains.
