HOUSE CAT is NEARLY BAKED
The Family Pet Slept in Oven of Cook
Stove and Is Nearly Burned
to Death.

Waynesboro, Pan. B. Ayers,
Hamilton avenue, Waynesboro, almost
cooked new dish at his home.
When he retired at night he left the
oven door of the kitchen stove open.
To get away from the cold the family
cat crawled into the oven and there
curled itself up for a sleep that lasted
all through the night.
When Mr.. Ayers went downstairs in
the morning to stir up the fire he
closed the oven door. The cat slept
on and made no protest. Then Mr..
Ayers turned on the drafts and thrust
the poker into the bed of Goals, and
in short time he had good fire
going.
He heard the mewing of a cat, but
he couldn't see a cat, and he fancied
the animal might be on the outside.
But the cat grew more persistent IN
it's mewing and added a tone of an
guish to it, and then Mr.. Ayers be-
thought him Of the oven. He opened
the door and the cat sprang on to
him, almost knocking him off his feet
The animal was burned terribly. us
feet were badly charred and its BODY
was almost baked. 1t is still living
and is on the road to recovery.

of the finest. Not even its long i'm.
mersion in the earth has eaten away
the surface to any considerable ex.
tent. Perhaps some French "voy-
ageur" canlped there two hundred
years ago, and forgot his knife. More
likely some wandering Indian band en-
camped there and left the knife that
they had bought of the French, paying
for it with beaver skins. One can sur.
mise almost anything. The chances
are that the owner left in hurry, for
knives like that, even today, are valu-
able, and some hundreds of years ago
would have been worth it's weight in
gold. Certain it is that the English
settlers did not carry French knives,
and this particular blade dates back
beyond the earliest English settle
ment.

Throughout al this excitement
Percy barrow did absolutely nothing.
He spent all his time, save that re-

Gu chair in the wireless station of the
atlas Building. Jack Warford sat
with him. Darrow rarely opened his
mouth for speech, but smoked slowly
a few cigarettes, and rolled many
more, which he held unlighted In the
corner OF his mouth until they dropped
to pieces. He watched quietly all
that went on; glanced through such
messages as came in from Monsieur
K, read the papers. and dozed. To re-
porters he was affable enough in his
drawing slow fashion, but had moth
Ing to say.
"Eldridge is doing this" he said to
them; I'm only in the position Of an
Interested spectator"
Eldridge had taken hold in a thor
Oughly competent way Back of the
cold precision of his undoubted scien-
tific attachments lurked, unexpected
by most, a strong ambition and less
admirable hankering for the lime-light.
His opportunity to crafty all these ap-
petites-science, advancement, and
fame-was too good not to cause him
the deepest satisfaction.
'1 have determined" he told the re-
porters, that this particular instru-
ment alone receives the messages
from the unknown perpetrator. Our
investigations must be initiated, there
fore, in this apartment"
How do you explain it?" asked one
of the reporters.

admitted Eldridge, "but / can surmise
that the fact either purposely or ac-
cidentally has to do either with this

jubilantly by all the papers as indi-
eating that at last the quarry had
become alarmed by the near-coming
search From the contracted district
still remaining to be combed over, no
body was permitted to depart; and so
closely was the Gordon drawn by so
large posse that 1t was physically
impossible for any living being to slip
by the line.
Thus even If Monsieur x, convinced
that at last his discovery was immi-
nent. should destroy his apparatus or
attempt to move it and himself to 8

cape cut of. Thousands of men were

ular circle, and moving inward toward
it's center. Men Of the highest execu-
tive ability commanded it, saw to its
necessary elaboration, eliminated all
possibility of confusion through
which any man could slip. The occa-
sion was serious, and it was taken
seriously.
OF the outcome no one in touch with
the situation had moments doubt.
The messages and the phenomena had
continued to come from the danger

they could not have been sent from

Dockyard Of Solid Rock.

The New South Wales government
dockyard on Cockatoo island in sgd
ney harbor is hewn out of solid rock.
Historically, Cockatoo island is of
much interest, as it was the site of q
large prison in the days when British
convicts were deported to Australia.
The present Offices on the island are
in the old prison buildings, the stone
walls, barred windows and iron-doored
cells being still in evidence. The for
nation of the island was originally
quite unsuitable for dockyard. as
the solid rock rose sheer from the
water to a height of SO to. 70 feet.
By using convict labor, however. the
rock vas gradually cut back, first to
permit the building OF craving docks
and later to make room for building
slips and shops near the water level
The work has been continued until
at present two-thirds OF the total area
OF S3 acres has been brought to
practically uniform level Of about Is
feet above high tide.

CHAPTER XVII.
Drawing the Net.

/ 0tGWttA SuO 1N~~
The zone of danger" as the Bulle-
tin named it. was Immediately the
scene of swarming activities. Besides
the expedition Immediately despatched
by the interests backing the investi-
cation, several enterprising newspa-
pers saw a fine chance for big scoop,
and sent out much-heralded parties Of
their own. The activities of these
were well reported, you may be sure.
Public interest was at once focused
reassuringly on the chances of finding
the annoying malefactor today or to-
morrow; there no longer existed
doubt that he would be found. The
weight of dread was lifted, and in the
reaction people made light of the In
conveniences and fun of the menacing
messages that now came In by the
Dozen
1t was necessary to take extraOrdi-
nary precautions against thieves and
fire; the people took them.
The public delivered itself joyously
to a debauch of rumors and Of lex

trickling in slowly from the outside
world, dried up in the warmth OF
optimism. Only the more thoughtful,
to a few of whom these warnings
came. coupled them with Monsieur KS
repeated threats. and walked uncer-
tain and in humility.
Percy barrow did not interest him
self in the search, nor did he desert
his post in the wireless Office. There
he did nothing whatever. Jack War
ford stayed with him, but immensely
bored. it must be confessed.
Thus there raised two days Of the
search. On the third day the intermit-
tent phenomena and the messages sud-
denly ceased. This fact was hailed
