Fourteenth street, or "the disappear

East One Hundred and Fifth street

one of her regular runaways.
Ethel invariably runs away once
month. She doesn't go anywhere In

lies down and sleeps, no matter where
she is. She told her mother she had
slept in Amber park the night before,
and consequently had contracted a
hard cold.
Last September she was found sound
asleep in the salon of the steamer City
of Erie. Scarcely two weeks later she
was found in picture show in Akron

SWAT SPARROW AS A PEST
The Biological Survey Calls the Com.
mon Bird Useless and
Harmful.

1.-THE rat of the bird kingdom" is the
label attached to the English spar
row by the United States biological
survey.
Sparrows were introduced into
America about so years ago, and have
multiplied with such rapidity that
they are a pest in nearly every part
of the country.
According to the biological survey,
they mot only serve no good purpose,
but consume great quantities Of use

of dollars worth Of grain" They are

instinct might be allowed to run
through its natural development with

to confne their shooting to undesir-
able birds. They are few, and the

Teach the boy to set traps only for
birds and animals which ought to be

him to catch the mice, the rats and
the sparrows-if possible the minks,

window.

"At once" replied Harvey. swiftly
taking in the situation
He swung the mandolin case, ready
for use as weapon, ran around to the
front of the house and dashed up the
steps, to find the door open. He stood
still in the hallway and listened in
tently.
Harvey fiared match, found a gas
jet and flooded the hall with light.
Just then a timid. trembling form
came dowL the staircase. 1t was Miss
Hoyt. She bore heavy cane.
1T is papa's.' she said. Please
don't rush into danger-I am not afraid
now"
For all that, she kept close to her in
trepid champion as Harvey slowly ad-
vanced down the hall, armed with the
weapon she had provided. Then, as
there was stir and then a crash, as
of chair thrown violently over. she
chung to his arm. The next moment
Harvey could not repress a jolly
laugh.
There is our formidable night dis
turber-no burglar after all, Miss
Hoytl" he exclaimed.
A large Newfoundland dog darted
from the library into the hall and
scurried past them through the front
doorway. He had evidently wandered
in just as Miss Hoyt had run up the
stairs to get wrap before resuming
her swing seat on the porch.
"You-you seem to know my name"
she began. and then, looking straight
at the now somewhat embarrassed
Harvey, she flushed. all over her face.
And just then, too, Harvey noticed a
hat with a great blue veil on a hall
seat, and understood. This was the
young lady he had noticed at the park.
Had she overheard the conversation
between himself and Price? He won
dered, as he retreated to the porch.

saw Mr.. Price today, but did not wish
to spoil what he intended as a sur
prise. Mercy! What is that?"
It was a shot, shouts, crash-then
the jangling strings of some musical
instrument.
Both rushed out to the porch. A
crash of glass made the still night
echoes hideous. A man was dashing
madly across the glass-covered garden
beds from the next lot. He carried a
guitar, madly brandished. He disap-
peared hatless and frantic, but not un-
til Harvey had recognized Willard
Price.
A little investigation brought out
the facts of the case. Price had gone
into the wrong garden-that of jeal-
GUS, crusty old bachelor, just married.
He had observed the guitar-armed ser
enader, had gone for gun, and Price
had run for his life.
OF course Miss Hoyt had overheard
Haryey's encomiums in the park. 1t
turned out that it was her uncle who
was so wealthy. This smoothed out
Harvey's path. Price, bored at his
mishap, did not linger on the scene.
And of course the serenader by proxy
eventually married Drusa Hoyt.
