To John Gray's satisfaction the mys-
FERROUS "E. v. E." did not leave the
bus until 1t stopped at his signal. Then
with a little nod, enhanced by a rose
tinged smile. the girl tripped past him
and down the steps to the street.
When he reached the apartment
house where he bad a suite of rooms
in his sisters home, he was amazed
to find that the girl had preceded him.
She flushed with annoyance and
when he made for apartment B she
stopped short and glanced haughtily at

John Gray's office window over
looked Fifth avenue, and on this par
ticular October day the window was
wide open to the crisp autumn breeze.
Life is dull enough. goodness
knows" complained John. leaning
back in his chair and elevating his
heels to his desk.
And at this critical moment ro-
nance entered his Office in the most
unexpected manner
There ioated through the window,
borne on the fresh breeze, something
soft and filmy and white like a bit of
pure cloud drifting down from the sky.
He did not see 1t, his eyes were
closed In dreamy retrospection, and 1t
was not until the wisp of white drifted
across his lips and chung there that he
sat up with a start
"Jovei What is that?" he de-
manded. plucking the thing from his
face.
He looked at 1t and recognized it
as some dainty accessory to a lady's
toilet. A delicious fragrance assailed
his senses-a mingled odor Of fresh
violets and roses
"Oh, bother." he snapped as he
clumsily tried to remove the delicate
tissue. Then he saw initials embroid-
cred on the delicate hem.

John Gray laughed aloud as he
folded up the veil and tucked it away
In the breast pocket of his coat.

He was still bordering this ques-
ton while he waited for an uptown
bus; ii was a tempting evening to ride
home on the roof of a motor bus.
One came along just then and he
found a AGA seat beside a distract
ingly pretty girl.
John Gray caught one feeting
glimpse of her psofle. for her face
was upturned to the windows of the
building where his office was located
The girl faced about and John could
not look at her without positive rude
ness, SO he stared straight ahead. All
at once he became conscious that the
air was fragrant with that odor of
mingled roses and violets. Could 1t
be from that veil in his pocket?
He furtively thrust a gloved hand
in the pocket and, finding the veil In

civil and military engineer, scientific
inventor and a man Of universal gen
ius. He was born in Vinci. near Flor
ence. In 1852. Two Of his earlier pro
auctions are still eXtant-"The Adora
ton of the Magi," in the gallery OF the
Ufizi at Florence, and "The Virgin OF
the Rocks" In the British National gal
lery. His great painting Of the Lords
Supper" was finished In 1899. The
original has been wholly defaced; but
Judging from copies. this work Is uni
versally regarded as one of the great
est ever produced. In 1899 he painted
his celebrated portrait Of Mona Lisa

His extant works are few. and some
Of those attributed to him are believed
to have been executed by his pupils

IN. oosd Old Times.

At one time in Rome political offices
were auctioned or In public to the high
est bidder. In ancient Greece theft was
not considered SO much Of disgrace as
being caught at It.
Our prisons are not ideal, but we
have made progress In dealing with
crime. There were formerly fourteen
ofrcnses IN Delaware punishable by
hanging In the early history Of Con-
necticut lying, that foulle and gross
SIM" was punishable with Ave stripes
at the whipping post and confinement
in stocks: people were imprisoned in
awful dungeons for debt. In Rome
men were sold into slavery to pay
debts: creditors could tear the body Of
the debtor to pieces, each receiving u
piece according to the size Of his credit.

WAYS of the Butcher Bird.

Some call it the butcher bird, but
the real name Is shrike. 1t Is one of
the oldest birds we have. because 1t
represents creature that Is changing
its type. Should you happen to walk
through the country and come across
q thorn tree with q small garter snake
or a mouse impaled on spike you
may know that a shrike Is around.
Originally the bird was insectivorous
and spent its time eating grasshoppers
and such like. Somehow 1t got taste
Of mouse or perhaps a smaller bird
that it killed in a fight. 1t liked the
meal, and naturally the bill of fare
was extended to include mice, snakes
and lizards. Very foxy is the shrike.
It had no talons to tear its prey apart,
so it hit ON the plan Of impaling the
victim upon a thorn, where 1t could
dine leisurely and on the installment
plan. The butcher bird is about nine
inches long and looks something like a
hooking bird. - Philadelphia North

Pics az Watehdogs.

In some parts Of Mexico the wild
hogs, which the natives call jabalis
(hah-bah-lee), savage beasts In their
natural state. are used at watchdOgs.
If they are caught young and brought
up with goats they will go out into the
hills with the herd and fight of
coyotes or other wild animals; II they
are raised with chickens they will pro-
tect them. and round ranch house at
night they are as useful as any dog.
Although fierce by nature. they can
be tanned until they follow their mas
ter round like dog. The landlord Of
O hotel In one Of the border towns
even keeps one of the wild hogs as a
playmate for his baby son.
The jabali is only first cousin. how
ever, to the domestic pig. Swine are
divided into two main branches. In
one line Is the farmers pig, descended
from the wild hog Of Europe. and in
the other Is the jabali. which Is really
a peccary. But the jabali Is quite

snout, long mottled bristles and long
sharp tusks.

Sloth said to Diligence: "You WORK
too hard. For two days now you have
been busy blowing that field. / hear
Ingenuity has invented q pillow driven
by steam. Why not get one to plow
for you while you sit with me In the
shade and enjoy life"
Diligence bought the pillow which
would pillow a field In fraction Of the
time It had taken him to do It But
instead Of sitting In the shade he put
more land into cultivation. and 1t took
all his time to attend to the plow and
zee that 1t worked properly.
When harvest time came he had
more to do than ever on account OF
the new land he had cultivated.
Harvest over, Sloth went to pay Dill
igence visit, saying to himself, "Now
he will have a little more time to talk
to me-" But he found him comforting
with Ingenuity in regard to u larger,
more powerful plow, that lie might
next season put still more land in cul-
tivation.

New York. Municipal Library.

There is one library owned and man.
aged by the city Of New York about
which there Is probably less known
outside OF the circles Of the legal pro
fession aud students Of mElicipal af-
fairs than any other library in that
town. And this. curiously enough. in
spite of the fact that the volumes on
it, shelves are slbpoenaed In court
more than the general public knows
anything about. This institution Is the
city library. In the city hall. and 1t
has on its shelves 10000 volumes. The
official reason for this librnry's being
Is to furnish complete and official
record o. the municipal affairs and his.
tory of the city Of New York. From
the viewpoint Of the bibliophile or the
historian the most valuable books In
the library are the records Of the town
in the days when the Dutch rulel

consist of seven fat volumes covering

Many petty tyrants have sought to

his will of a prejudice against mus

wear mustaches," he stipulated, then
the devise hereinbefore contained In

per Park shall be void. and devise
the same estate to my son William, his
appointees. heirs and assigns. And in
case my said son William shall wear
