Buzzard's Wonderful SIGHT.

Many persons have thought that buz.
yards have an unusual sense of smell
that guides them over miles Of terri
tory in search of food, but many years
ago it was proved that sight is the
principal factor In guiding the bird OF
prey. Audubon made careful expert
ments with a black vulture. The dry,
stuffed skin Of deer which me piuceu
out in the field soon attracted vul.
ture. Although there was DO smell OF
flesh and nothing eatable about it, the
bird Lit and began Juggling at the dry
skin. Later, when the same bird cir.
cled over the field it espied small
snake not thicker than mans finger
and bounced upon it.

CHAPTER XVIII.
Brute Force or Finesse.

"What do you want me to say, Mr..
Rodney?" asked Shurtliff, coming
through the door, having caught Rod
ney's use of his name.
"Oh, Shurtliff-" began Rodney,
somewhat embarrassed at having been
overheard.
"What do you want me to. speak
about?" continued the old man sus-
piciously, not giving the younger man
time to finish. "And what friend can

"Tll tell you what I want" said
Rodney.
lie quickly came to decision.
Standing up and facing the old man,
he staked everything On one bold
throw. Grasping the situation, Helen
Illingworth held her breath. Winters
moved to take his own part in the
game at the proper time.
"What is 1t, sir?" asked the secre-
tary.
"Shut the door and come in," was
the answer.
Rodney spoke sharply, and it was
sort of indication, characteristic of
the difference In station between an
Independent young man and a subser-
Went old man.
"Here / am, sir" answered Shurtllff,
closing the door and standing before it.
He shot quick glance at the young
woman. He observed her tense posi-
ton. He saw the emotions that filled
her soul in her face and bearing. All
his old suspicious rose like flood. For
moment he no longer cared for her.
He almost hated her. He looked from
her to the dark-faced, determined Rod
ney, to big, powerful, quiet Winters.
Was this a trap? We're they going to
try to force him to speak2 He was q
brave man, old Shurtllff, but his heart
beat little faster as he faced them.
He was quite master of himself,
though, cool, watchful, determined;
In their eyes rather admirable than
otherwise.
"The time has come for you to tell
us the truth" began Rodney emphat-
ically. "You know that the whole
blame and responsibility for the fail
ure Of the International bridge is
loaded on the wrong man. You know
that you permitted, and even made
possible, the sacrifice of the reputation
of the son for the sake of the fame
of the father. You know that this
girl here is breaking her heart, that
Meade's life is ruined, and you're to
blame. Now the time has come for
you to speak. We know as well as
you that young Meade is innocent.
Here's our evidence"
He drew handful of papers from
his inside breast pocket and shook
them in the face of the old man, who
had shrunk back against the side of
the car and stood staring, white-faced,
thin-lipped, elose-mouthed, inexorably
resolved still.
"Read Them continued Rodney.
