THE DEBUT OF sTINGAREE.

Miss Bouverie, a companion to Mrs.
Clarkson on an Australian ranch'
ceases singing when a dapper young
man walks into the ranch house. He
politely bids her sing more, while ne
plays. Her voice receives his highest
commentator. Before leaving he prom
fses to be at Mrs. Clarkson's concert,
which Sir Julian Crum, the celebrated
English musical authority, is to attend.
In due course the great night came
around, but Hilda Bouverie looked for
her hero in vain. Mrs. Clarkson and
some of the others had done their part
when Stingaree appeared on the stage
leveling a brace Of revolvers at the as
sembly. He insinuatingly requests
Mrs. Clarkson to sing. A revolver is
passed unobserved to Hilda by the sta
ton overseer. At the assembly H1lda
recognizes her hero. Stingaree insinu-
atingly requests Mrs. Clarkson to sing
again. She refuses. He then calls
Hilda, and Sir Julian is forced to play
for her. Sir Julian is surprised at the
quality Of Hilda's voice and offers to
make a career for her.
Oswald Melvin, youthful son of
widow. keeper Of music shop, wor-
SHIPPED Stingaree to a dangerous de-
gree. The story Of a customer plays
on the boys imagination. The customer
proves to De Stingaree, who on Sec
ond visit promises the boys mother,
who fears Oswald had come to the
worst, to save the foolish youth from
his villain worshiping.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY.

Women Cannot Dodge Jury Duty.

Ell Dorado, Kan. Jan. Z. - Women

WHALES AS THEY DIVE.
Something About the Habits OF tho
Ocean Monsters.


Both whalers and naturalists have
usually held that when whales sound"
they descend to great depths, says
knowledge. One writer on the subject
estimates that the larger members OF
the group dive fully thousand yards
In memoir published In Belgium Dr.
Racovitza challenges this belief and
states that in his opinion 100 yards is
the maximum depth to which any
whale can dive and that many species
cannot reach anything like that limit
Says the writer:
Why should whales want to 60 to
such depths? All whales sound for the
purpose of obtaining food. and in the
profound darkness of 1000 yards what
food could they get? Those species
which feed on animalcules might, per
haps, obtain what they want. But how
about the species which feed on fishes
and cuttles? At depth Of 1000 yards
they certainly could not use their eyes
TO detect mountainous species, and we
have no evidence whatever that they
IHpO OIL tllG SCll iuLiliiouS hSCp otd hoh
and cuttles, if, indeed, there be any of
the latter. On the contrary, the availa
BILE evidence indicates that they feed on
ordinary light dwelling fishes and cut
Ties which live in much Shallowe"
zones. But this is not all. 1t is known
that the effects of pressure of more
than three atmospheres prove fatal to
human life, and, although we may be-
lieve that whales can stand treble this
pressure, or nine atmospheres, which
would occur at about ninety yards
depth, is it conceivable thatsthey could
resist the effect Of ten times the latter
pressure, or ninety atmospheres? More
over does it seem possible that a whale
whose body is only slightly heavier
than water at ordinary pressure could
exert the muscular force necessary to
propel that body TO depth of 1000
yards?

USED TO SNAKES.
Reptiles of Guiana Are Biz, but
Timid and Gentle.
BOA CONSTRUCTORS INCLUDED
American Who Has Lived There Four
teen Years Says TarantuIas and Cen
tipedes of That Region Are Also Less
Dangerous Than Is Supposed.

W. FL. Bradley, an American who
has lived in Dutch Guiana fourteen
years, says nobody need be afraid of
snakes and tarantulas and centipedes
in that country; also there is little
sport i'll shooting the biggest game, be
cause reptiles and insects and jaguars
Will always run from you unless YOU
attack them or get mixed up with them
inadvertently.
Il have never heard of more than one
man that was bitten by snake dur
ing the whole time have been there"
said Mr.. Bradley to reporter for the
New York Times. I'VE had 200 men
employed on a placer for a period Of
three years, and during that time we
never had death. OF course there are
plenty of snakes. but we get used to
them. They won't hurt you, aud they
are very easy TO kill. Why, a boa con
structor once caught chicken by the
side of my camp, and a man hit him on
the head with little stick, no bigger
around than my thumb, and killed him.
He was fifteen feet long too. That Is
the biggest boa constructor | ever saw,
though | heard tales of others sixty
feet long. I was never quite able to
believe these tales, though. I have
killed many twelve or thirteen feet
long, one of them with young ALI
gator in it's mouth.
Yes, there are lots of tarantulas and
centipedes, too, but they never bother
us. A centipede will walk over your
body and never hurt you unless you
hit at it. Even the most dangerous
snake or insect runs away from you
unless you attack it or happen to step
on it. The wild hog is the most dan
gerous animal we have when it is
found in droves or bands. The tapr,
which is not, after all. an ant eater.
but lives on grass, and which we also
call the bush COW. is the biggest ami
NAL we have. 1t is about half the
size of an ordinary COW. | have shot
many jaguars, but they gave me no
trouble, and I killed them only be-
cause they were trying TO steal calves.
I'VE have two tribes Of Indians down
there, the Arawaks and the CaribS, but
they are all friendly. The government
sends them presents once IL year. The
bush negroes are the descendants OF
runaway slaves. They used to fight
the government and were never sub
dued Finally the government left Off
trying to conquer them, and they be-
came peaceable.
Life in Paramaribo is rather tran

1.-The villain worShiper was indeed
posted in belt of trees through
which the coach route ran, half
way between the town and
the first stage south. It was not his
first nocturnal visit to the spot. Often,
as his prototype OWNED, had the mimic
would be desperate sat trembling on
his hoary screw, revolvers ready.
while the red eyes of the coach dilated
down the road. And as often had the
cumbrous ship pitched past unscathed.
The week kneed and weak minded
youth was too vain to feel much
ashamed. He was biding his time, he
could pick his night. One was too dark,
another not dark enough. He had al
ways some excuse for himself when
he regained his room, still unstained
by crime And so the unhealthy eX-
element was deliciously maintained.
Tonight, as always when he sailed
forth, the deed should be done. He
only wished there were a shade less
moon and wondered whether he might
not have done better to wait. But as
usual the die was cast. And indeed it
was quite a new complication that
deferred this poor creature for the last
time. He was feverishly expecting
the coach when patter Of hoofs smote
his ear from the opposite quarter.
This was enough to stay an older
and a bolder hand. Oswald tucked in
his guns with unrealized relief. 1t
was his last instinct to wait and see
whether the horseman was worth at
lacking for his own sake. He had
room for few ideas at the same time,
and his only new one was the sense
of a new danger, which he prepared
to meet by pocketing his pistols as a
child bolts from stolen fruit. There
was no thinking before the act, but it
was perhaps as characteristic Of the
naturally honest man as of the coward.
Stingaree swept through the trees at
a gallop, the milk white mare flashing
in the moonlit patches At the sight
of her Oswald was conyulSed with
premonition as to who was coming
His heart palpitated as even his heart
had never done before. And yet he
would have sat irresolute, inert and let
the man pass as he always let the
coach, had the decision been left to
him The real milk white mare affected
the imitation in its turn as the coach
horses never had, and Oswald swayed
and swan upon whinnying steed.
~ thought you were a-Stingaree'
The anti-climaX was as profound as
the weakling's relief. Yet there was
strong dash of Indignation in his tone.
What if l ann"
smart enough. You can't tell me any
thing about Stingaree.'
He put his eyeglass up with an air.
Stingaree put up his.
You young foolr' said he.
The thoroughbred mare, the eyeglass,
a peeping pistol, We're all superfluous
evidence. There was the far more un-
mistakable authority of voice and eye
and bearing. Yet the voice at least
was somehow familiar to the ear of
Oswald, who suffered as much when
he was able.
II must have heard it before or have
dreamed it? I've thought a good deal
about you, you know"
To do him justice he was no longer
very nervous, though still physically
shaken. On the other hand, he began
already TO feel the citation of his
dreams.
II do know. You've thought your

SPORTING COMMENT

THERE is going to be a mighty
Injection of pep and ginger
In that team of Mr.. Ebbets' next
season. The accession of Wilbert
Robinson, one of the real brainy
veterans of the game, will mean
much to the Brooklyn Dodgers in
the spring and summer and If Bill
Dahlen's charges are not ham
mered and pounded into some
thing that is mighty close to a
championship aggregation then
there is nothing much in having
a dashing, brainy man at the head
of things. For Robby is all of
that and then some.
THE strange part Of this seIeo-
1 ton by Mr.. Ebbets is the fact
that nobody ever thought before
of giving this famous old catcher
a chance TO handle some major
league team. He comes of the
right school, the kind of educa-
ton that he received in his hey
dey OF playing making for a man
ager of high skill and force. Rob-
inson was co-conspirator with
Hughey Jennings, John ]. Nc
Graw and others on the old Bal
timore Orioles when that famous
gang was wont to sail through
the National League circuit
breaking up games and teams
right and left. If he applies the
same methods to the Dodgers as
McGraw does to the Giants. why
not some ball team? There isn't
a reason in the world.

prepared to hold it's title of champion

and a clean victory for Chicago is
looked for Wisconsin, even If de-
feated, will end the season in third
place. Minnesota, defeated only by
Chicago this season, occupies second
place.
The Minnesota men day are ex-
pected to win their game with I'LL

with Mahan back when Brickley goes
through center. His only gains
against Princeton were made from
this formation. But Ketcham playing
loose center will probably nail this
play at the line.
The offense Of neither team doesn't
seem to have the necessary punch to
score, as 1t was showed Saturday
when Yale had four downs to go five
yards and only made three yards.
Harvard didn't show any punch
against Princeton. From kick forma-
ton alone did Harvard make any
Roadway. Her plunges into Prince
tons line by Brickley were stopped
cold by BALM and Phillips, and no
doubt Yale will shift Talbot when the
Harvard backfield shifts and he will
be used to drive in on the second man
who most always has the ball on Har-
wards shift formation.
Offense Game for Harvard.
Harvard will probably play offense
against Yale as they did at Princeton,
except their ends will probably play
the smashing game to stop the Yale
interference which worked SO well
against Princeton.
Unless Harvard does smash in, they
will be outclassed on offense, the
same as Princeton was. They have
developed a strong interference, which
is made strong by Ketcham coming
out of line. But It seemd little
! slow in forming, so Harvard will
| probably try to choke 1t up before
they get started.

game will be the team which gets the
