shoulder. Il was that Of Mary Deane,
her best girl friend. who had stolen
upon her solitude on tiptoe.
"At last?" she cried. half interroga-
lively.
Anita started and blushed, hid the
portrait under folder and faced her
friend now with less Of embarrass.
ment than a species of sadness.

softly.
"Your hero, Of course!" smiled the
sprightly Mary.
HE is a hero. yes" replied Anita
seriously. TT Is Clyde Merriel, a
man, a stranger who has done for US
what money and friends and kin could
not do. When brother Egbert was
lost in the wilds of Alaska, we learned
that Mr.. Merriel had been over all
that territory. We sought him out to
find him a careless, reckless Bohe-
milan, a poet, writer and wanderer.

his to care for the unfortunate. At
the poor cheap rooms he called home
we found q crippled artist and two
penniless newspaper men. Mr.. Merriel
had given them refuge. To pay rent
and secure food for them he had
gone to a money loaner who provided
the needed cash, but insisted that the
borrower remain a prisoner with him
until he had turned out some travel
sketches that were readily salable."

In the southwestern states trap-dooe
spiders are familiar. They live in
holes In the ground. from which they
sally forth to hunt their insect prey.
Their houses have doors. The door
is thick. beautifully beveled at its
edges and close.fitting like Q cork.
When It closes, its outside surface 10
exactly like the surrounding soil, and
so the entrance to the spiders retreat
becomes completely hidden from
view.
The door Is first constructed of .
layer of silk, which is spread across
the mouth Of the tube. Bits Of soil,
moss and further layers Of silk are
then introduced. until the required
thickness is obtained. The hinge is
also made Of silk. In case Of danger
the spider bolts into her tunnel. pulls
shut the door and clings to the threads
Of the under side, and also holds to
the sides of her dwelling tube.

Then you needn't"
1t was three days later that Miss
Nettie got down on her knees to that
bad boy and vowed to marry him
when they grew up II he would take
her to that cave. As a matter Of fact.
he had been told by a boy. who had
1t from another boy. that there was
such a cave in the hills three miles
away. He had lied about the rest Of
1t, but he didn't propose to own up.
He wanted to be q hero instead of an
Uncle RUDE. in Miss Nettie's eyes. He
soon discovered that he couldn't be
without setting out for the cave, and It
took him a whole day to make up his
mind. They must set out secretly,
and II there was no cave a licking
awaited him for sure on their return.
and It might be bread and water for a
week for the girl.
It was not until Miss Nettie had ap-
piled the spithet Of coward several
times that . start was made. The
family dog was old and shackelty and
didn't care . cent about pirates caves.
but after much coaxing b consented
to 60 along. The way was across the
fields and through the scrub to Q
range Of hills. and the afternoon was
hot and the journey toilsome. The
dog gave out frst. When his aged

had had enough. and he headed back.

But would" was the reply from
the painting but not discouraged girl.
II took the dog 20 that he could
smell out the cave for us."
But we'll smell II out for our
selves. We are going right on"
II don't believe there 10 any cave.
"Oh, yes. there is. I think I have

Forty rods further on the boy
dropped behind . bush for two or
three minutes and then legged 1t for
home. He wasn't going to give q
pirates ghost a chance to take him by
the throat. Miss Nettie missed him,
but did not even call on him to re.
turn. She had set out for q cave filled
with money and Jewels, and she
meant to reach 1t.
The hills were reached at last by
very tired girl. They were covered
with pine and spruce and powders
but after rest she started her climb
