Geese Could Not Skate.

A flock Of more than fifty wild geese
mistook glare ice in Kabekona bay,
Leech Lake, Mimi, for placid water,
and after alighting on the smooth
surface were unable to take fight and
were held prisoners. The ice was 80
slippery it prevented the geese from
taking a running start" in order to
fly.
The geese, falling about on their
backs, attracted four hunters, who
were unable to reach the geese on &C
count Of the dangerous thinness Of
the ice. Finally q wooden platform
was built and pushed over the ice
into the flock. The birds then Popped
aboard the platform, made run Of it
and soon were flying away.

Cold-SIooded Criticism,

It's impossible to tell the truth
all the time
80 it seems. What prompted that
remark"
I've just been listening to a man
discussing the merits Of his new mo-
torcar. The gloss OF the tonneau, the
luxurious upholstery, the dazzling re-
hection from the brass and nickel
parts and the swiftly spinning wheels
OF a new car never fail to bewitch the
senses OF its owner and warp his
judgment of a machine that is at best
but a striking example Of mans in
ability to make anything that is per-
feet"

Germans Use New Kind of Shell.

The Germans in the Dvinsk regions
are using a new shell, which has 3
cast-iron nose grooved internally and
with central opening nearly one inch
in diameter, from which, several hours
after the shell has burst, there still
comes strong odor OF prussic acid.
The shell, which is provided with
an arrangement to delay the explo-
sion, generally bursts on the ground.
Wounds Of the slightest character
from fragments Of these shells, ia
eYitably and usually very rapidly,
cause death.

The Luck of

In the narrow. crooked Street Of a

suddenly paused and then scattered to
huddle against the doorways. There
was the shrill cry Of coolies, and
around a corner came a mandarin's

John Marston's presence in Shanghai
was, in way, accidental. He had

He pOcketed the amber dragon and
went on his way toward the gate
which led out upon the Bund.
He paused for moment In the
opening to examine the amber orna-

A viselike grip on his arm drew him
back into the shadow Of the city gate.
He whirled about and wrenched him
self free to confront small, wiZened
Chinaman whose slant eyes spat hate

American.
''So!' The other pointed at the bit
of golden chain dangling from Johns
fingers. "Have got him.

nodded.

John laughed. "Oh. know what 1t

The other frowned impatiently.
"Come! Heap luck" he insisted.

foot WELL Overhead the curb was
darkened with a fringe Of curious vel
low faces and staring eyes.
The American made a startling dis
covery. In one side Of the well was
an opening into u lateral passage. He
did not stoop to enter the passage-the
Chinese must not know about 1t. If
he failed in his search and they de-
cided to stone him from above he must
have safe retreat. He stopped and
scratched among the leaves. all the
time looking for some loose stone in
the side or some recess where Thomas
Green might have hidden his treasure.
All at once he saw it-juSt within the
mouth of the passage cats head
rudely scratched on one Of the stones.
Still STOPPING. he stretched his arm
and jerked out the stone. A small
leather pouch tumbled out into his
hand. That was all. Crouching there.
he cautiously opened the pouch, hid
ing it from the curious eyes above.
A score of rare jewels flashed into
his palm-rubies, emeralds~ and two
large yellow diamonds. Hastily he
divided them equally. His own share
he slipped into his vest pockets. He
returned the others to the leather
pouch and called to the Chinese to pull
him out.
The mandarin was watching him
narrowly. There was crafty look on

Feng Pu started as If reminded of
something unpleasant. He returned
the stones to the bag, dropped it into
his capacious sleeve and nodded to
his servants.
There was q concerted rush upon
the American. He was not taken by
surprise, so when they lifted him to
the well curb he was prepared for the
fail and dropped lightly upon his feet
A shower Of large stones were hurled
after him. He crept into the passage

He waited until the stars shone over
head, and then he made his way
through the passage. Just as his stock
Of matches gave out he smelled the
salt air Of the river and presently
pushed his way through thicket and
came out upon the river bank. In the
distance cleaned the lights Of the city.
The secret passage of the old river pr
