Pair Of wrens Got . Divorce.

Bird divorce, which seems to be
quite common. was discussed the other
day by Howard H. Cleaves, secretary
of the American Bird Banding associa-
ton, a movement to follow wild birds
by means Of aluminium tags. The In
terview is reported by the Brooklyn
Eagle.
A pair Of wrens," he said, latter
raising one brood got a divorce and
each remated and raised two other
families. This was ascertained be-
cause one Of the pair Of each of
these two second pairs was ringed
and the other one was not. We. are
also striving to learn whether the same
birds come back each year to the same
nest We are getting evidence all the
time indicating that pairs do return
to the same locality and, in many
cases. to the same nests"

Gambler. Never Suicides.

Great police officials assure us that
the professional gambler or person
moved by true gambling instinct new
er under any circumstances takes his
own life. 1t is the defaulting clerk
who kills himself, the ruined shopkeep-
er, the desperate woman OF the world,
the involved financier, the defauIter
and the like. who have turned for the
moment to the gambling table in the
vain hope of recouping their losses
or mending their ruined fortunes.
The true gambler is person Of eter.
nal hope. If he loses today he be-
lieves that he will win tomorrow.
None but reasonable and reasoning
men, players from ambition, from envy
or necessity, ever give way to despair
ard commit suicide. The professional
gambler lives to old age" says Mon
sieur Claude in his memories-Mel-
vile Post. in the Saturday Evening

Caldwell's
Theory
By
HAROLD CARTER

Copyright. 1916. by w. G. Chapman)
Il tell you" insisted Caldwell at the
club, there isn't a man in business
or professional life who can't be black
mailed. IL he's approached the right
way. Everyone has done something
which he prays will never come to
light"
i repeat that l don't believe you"
retorted Simpson. Human nature is
better than you imagine. Now take
Clay. Do you suppose anybody could
blackmail Clay?"
What, the multimillionaire? in
quired Caldwell How do you sup
pose he got his millions? How did he
come to command the money market?
OF course he could be blackmailed. 1t
may be he cheated partner once, or
he may simply have stolen a purse
from his landlady. He had to get his
start, didn't he?"
Saved it," said Simpson.
BAH" retorted Caldwell.
Did you ever hear the story of the
joker who sent wire to the bishop,
Fly at oncel All is discovered ?"
asked Caldwell, warming to his sub
ject. Bishop disappeared. And that's
a fact"
Well, why don't you get ten thou
sand out of Clay?" asked Simpson
caustically.
Ten thousand?" retorted Caldwell
with a whitening look. Fifty thou
sand. Yes, I'll do it."
A bet was made, and four days later

to pay fifty thousand dollars to the

Clay came from Bowville. 1t
seemed, therefore, a safe proposition.

to the metropolis, many years before.
The next day Caldwell, wild with de-
light, showed the following advertise
ment from the personal column to
Simpson:
Am willing to consider proposition.
J. O."
A second letter was duly dispatched.
The money was to be left in a little
niche between two houses on a certain
street, at a late hour the following
night. II Clay played false, fearful
things would happen to him, said the
writer.
Caldwell, sinking quietly past the
niche on the evening appointed, found
nothing there. Simpson, who had fol-
lowed him on the opposite side Of the
road, rallied him severely.
I'm through with this nonsense
now" he said. Its q merciful thing
you got away so easily"
Caldwell said nothing; privately he
was becoming afraid of his BLUM How
ever, the next morning the following
advertisement was read
Couldn't get money in time. To
night. ]. c.
That night, with the jeering Simp-
son still watching from the shadows
across the street, Caldwell, having as
certained that the street was other
wise deserted, passed along the side
walk toward the niche. There, Just
visible in the dark, was the corner Of
an envelope.
He pulled 1t forth exultantly and hur-
ried across to his friend. "Now!" he
cried.
At that instant two men stepped
out from the recesses of a gateway
and each of the friends saw the bust
ness end of a revolver in dangerous
proximity to his nose. At the next mo-
ment taxi whizzed along and stopped
