lived in a large kennel in the yard,
for he was large dog and rather

him.
The large kennel was just outside
the back door, which was at the top
of the cellar steps and at the bot
tom OF two or three leading into the
scullery; but Blanche, of course, went
round by the garden. She found the
poor old dog quite disconsolate in a
more canine kennel in corner of the
one that was really worthy Of the
more formidable carnivora. There was
every sign of his being treated as the
dangerous dog that Blanche, indeed,
had heard he was; the outer bars we're

CHAPTER VII.
After Michael AnueIo.

II was thinking of his cap" said
.Cazalet, but only as they returned tc
the tradesmen's door, and just as
Blanche put in her word, What about
me?"
Mr.. Drinkwater eyed the trim white
figure standing In the sun. '"The more
the merrier!" his grim humor had it.
IT dare say you'll be able to teach us
q thing or two as we'll, miss"
She could not help nudging Cazalet
lin recognition OF this shaft. But GAIA
let did not look round; he had now set
foot in his old home. "
It was all strangely still and inactive
~ though domestic animation had
been suspended indefinitely. Yet the
open kitchen door revealed a female
FORM In multi; a sullen face looked
fout of the pantry as they passed; and
through the old green door (only now
1T was a red one) they found another
bowler hat bent over pink paper at
the foot Of the stairs. There was q
glitter Of eyes under the bowler's
;brim as Mr.. Drinkwater conducted his
friends into the library.
, The library was square room OF
respectable size, but very close and
dim with the one French window
closed and curtained. Mr.. Drinkwa.
ter shut the door as we'll, and
switched on all the electric lamps.
The electric light had been put in by
the Cravens; all the other fixtures In
the room were as Cazalet remembered
them. But the former son Of the house
gave himself no time to waste in senti.
mental comparisons. He tapped a pair
!of mahogany doors, like those of q
wardrobe let into the wall.
Have you looked In hare? do
.manded Cazalet.
whats the use of looking In . CT.
gar cupboard?" Drinkwater made mild
inquiry.
"Cigar Cupboard" echoed Cazalet
in disgust. did he really only use it
for his cigars?"
"A cigar cupboard" repeated Drink
water, and locked up at the time it
happened. What was it, If may ask,
in Mr.. Cazalet's timer" !
II remember!" came suddenly from |
Blanche; but Cazalet only said, "Oh,
we'll, if you know it was locked there's
an end of it."
Drinkwater went to the door and
summoned his subordinate. Gust
fetch that chap from the pantry,
Tom," said he; but the sullen sufferer
from police rule took his time, in spite
Of them, and was sharply rated when
he appeared.
II thought you told me this was a
cigar cupboard?" continued Drink
water, in the browbeating tone Of his
first words to CaZalet outside. !
$50 it u.s." said the man.
Then where's the key?"
sHow should know? I never kept
it," cried the butler, Growing over
his oppressor for a change. He would
keep it on his own bunch; find his
watch, and all the other things that
were missing from his pockets when
your men went through EN-, and you
may find his keys, tool"
Drinkwater gave his man . double
signal; the door slammed on . petty
triumph for the servants hall; but
now both invaders remained within.

WRITING ON METALS.
BY the Use of Wax and Acids Etchings
May Easily Be Made.

Usually man attempts to put his
name on his metal possessions by
scratching with file or knife point
and makes the poorest sort of a job.
1t is really very easy to write on any
metal-the blade Of a jackknife, a
watchcase, skates-if one happens to
know how, and the attractiveness of
the inscription is limited only by the
artistic ability of the Individual.
Cover the place where you wish to
write. with thin coating of melted
beeswax. When the wax is cold write
plainly with any pointed instrument,
being particular to cut the letters
through the wax to the metal
Then mix one ounce of muriatic acid
and One-half of an ounce of nitric acid.
or smaller quantities in the same pro-
portions (and remember that those
acids are deadly poisons). and apply
the mixture to the lettering with a
feather, carefully filing each letter.
Allow the acids to remain from one
to ten minutes, according as the etch-
ing is to be light or deep. Next dip
the article in water, wash out the acids
and melt off the wax, and the thing is
done. A little oil should be applied as
a finishing touch. Gold, silver, iron
or steel can be marked in this way

IRRITABILITY A WARNING.
One of Natures Danger Signals That
Should Be Needed.

Are you unduly quick tempered? Do
you find yourself, on slight provocation,
giving vent to petty outbursts of an
ger? Are you constantly nagging, fault
finding and complaining?
If chronic irritability is one of your
characteristics it is important for you
to recognize that fact For irritability
is always danger signal. 1t points
to the presence Of conditions which
may be disastrous to you unless RENE
dies.
In particular. irritability means that
your nervous system is out of gear.
This may be the result of either phys
ical or mental causes, or a combination
Of both. Usually both physical and
mental causes enter in to intensity one
another's harmful effects.
Thus the commonest of all causes of
nervous disturbance is worry. Worry,
as Is known, interferes with all the
bodily functions. 1t is especially dam
aging in its influence on the digestion.
When the food is not properly digest
ed the nervous system is poorly nour-
lshed and severely strained. 1t is also
In some degree poisoned by the circula-
ton in the blood of substances which
would otherwise have been removed by
the eliminative organs.
All this causes nervous tension that
may express itself In chronic "grouchi-
ness" or in frequent attacks of bad
temper. These attacks In their turn
cause increased weakening Of the d.
gestive powers.
What is needed to cure both the in
digestion and the irritability is the cul-
tivation of an optimistic attitude. The
tendency to worry. look on the dark
side of things, must be overcome.-H.

LURING WILD GEESE.
Live Decoys Are Often Used and Made
to Play the Traitor.

AtbC bCSVyo NV SfhSu OoSh dud Uo0e
to Play the Traitor.
American wild geese each spring mi
crate from waters of the southern
states to the shores of the Arctic in
northern Canada. The two great com
mon varieties of the bird are the honk-
ers and the. wavy, or white, goose.
Both of these are extensively hunt
ed. Covering, as they do, about 5000
miles on their annual migration, these
birds rest at various places en- route
and are thus shot by sportsmen almost
across the length of the continent. The
birds have a peculiar trait of always
leaving one of their number on look
out while the rest feed.
To aid in the shooting of wild geese
live wild ones, captured young and
raised in captivity, are often placed in
feeding grounds in likely territory on
the line of flight of the migrating
focks. These decoys are terrible trail
tors and by their calling often bring
the flying ones within shooting dis
tance of the sportsmen, who lie in hid
den pits near at hand.
Painted decoys, shaped like geese and
made of steel, are also used by the
hunters. In the latter case the men,
from their hiding place in the pits, call
the birds by using goose call, metal
instrument like flute, which mimics
the sound of the goose with remarka-
BILE realism.-Philadelphia North Amer

Life at Cerro de Pasco, nearly a
