She would not condemn him unheard,
but at the same time she let him see
that her knowledge of Fran would not
help his case. 1t did not surprise
Mrs. Gregory that Grace had known
of the strange presence; the secretary
knew of events before the rest of the
family.
Gregory continued, delicately pick
ing his way: But the child asked to
see me alone, because she had a spe-

deliver to me. So asked Miss Grace

BUSY LIVES LED BY WASPS
Insects as Industrious at Home as
When They Get After the SWIM
ming Small Boy.

Wasps appear to be wellnigh as in
dustrious as ants or bees. One au-
thority has declared that the cardinal
doctrine of the wasps is: IF any
wasp will not work, neither shall he
eat"
Division Of labor is clearly seen in
the wasp's nest. Some of the work
ers seem to be specially employed as
foragers and soldiers, others appear
tc be told off as nurses and guardians.
while yet others are engaged as paper
makers and masons.
Wasps are at all times particularly
fond of honey. Toward the end Of
summer, as all bee-keepers know. they
will force their way into beehives and
carry off by force as much as they
can gorge OF their winged neighbor's
honey.
The drones of the wasp world. in

BATTLES MAD DOG
IN STATION CELL
Prisoner in Chicago Lookup Has
Exciting Experience.
ANIMAL FOUND RABID
Suspected Canine Locked Up In Ad1
jacent Cell Crawls Through Drain
Pipe Connecting the Two Rooms
and Ruries Fangs in Mans Leg.


Chicago.~-John Anderson, an all
legged burglar, was taken to the Pas
teur institute the other day suffering
from wounds on one leg which may
prove fatal and which he incurred in
a desperate fight with a dog in his
cell at the 50th street police station.
The animal, also a prisoner, has since
been found to be suffering from
rabies.
The dog had been taken to the sta
tion after it had attacked and bitten
at least two and possibly more chill
dren living on the south side. Two of
these victims also were treated at the
institute
1t was suspected at the time of the
first attack that the dog might be
mad. The policeman who captured
the animal had no safe place in
which to keep it and finally concluded
to take it to the station and lock it
up. 1t was placed in a cell adjoining
the one occupied by Anderson, who
was held as a suspect in burglary
cases.
During the night the dog prowled
uneasily around In it's cell, growing
and snarling and making so much
noise that Anderson, stretched out on
his plain board bench, could not
sleep. After some hours, however, he
managed to fall into a doze.
Suddenly the man was awakened
by peculiar scraping sound, and,
looking up, saw the eyes of the Cog
cleaning at him in his own cell. The
animal had crawled through the drain
pipe connecting the two cells.
Anderson kicked at the dog with
his bare foot. The animal flew at him
and buried it's fangs in the mans leg.
The two fought all over the cell, the
man screaming for help and the dog
snarling and growing and getting a
new hold on the leg every time he
was shaken from his old hold. Final
ly the jailer was aroused and, open
ing the cell door, succeeded in beat
ing the animal into submission.
Anderson was taken to a doctor at
once and his wounds were cauterized.

English Averse to Change.

There is nothing more amusing in
all the quaint and curious customs of

the strange ceremony which marks the

the absence of any secretion, for even
after very prolonged fits of coughing
there is rarely anything noticeable
except a little saliva. Patients may
sometimes succeed in checking the
cough, but not for long, and as a
rule in such cases the next fit of
coughing is all the more severe.
The nervous cough is particularly
frequent between the ages of twelve
and seventeen. 1t then often as

Instead of anger, Fran showed sor-

He turned his back upon her as if
to go to the door, but he wheeled
about: "Ten years. You understand?

The fact that the dog was able to
