Bird That Dances.

There is q bird in the birdhOuse of
New York Geological park that is a
bird of dancer. He can do all the
modern dances. His name is Cock
Of-the-ROck, or the rupicOla cotingidae.
He is most peculiar bird. His aim
less leaping about meant next to moth
ing to the casual observers, who
thought that the floor of the cage pos
sibly might have become too hot for
his feet. But to Keeper Stacey the
same antics conveyed q message of
loneliness. You see, Cock-of-the-ROck
BIRDS" explained the keeper, like to
dance. Down in British Guiana, where
this fellow comes from, the birds gath
er and dance in big circle. This bird
likes to think that he is home and so
dances around, taking the part of the
whole bunch. After he has danced
around in q big circle he thinks he's q
whole flock of BIRDS" The Cock-of-the
Rock is rare bird, with beautiful red
and crane plumage. Unlike most birds
of this color, he has not faded to any
noticeable extent since being made
captive.

Nifty Neighbor Child She Smiled

Letter.

Boys Explanation Is He Wished to

Wanted to Get Into Atmos-
phere of Mystery.

ChicagO.-Mrs. Guy Edwards, twen-
ty-eight and pretty, used to smile
casually at the boy across the hall at
1912 North Racine avenue. He was
a nifty child of fourteen years, with
cheeks like the rosy wax clOthiers'
dummies, and the graces of a dancing
master. His name was Harold Gum.
Three weeks ago Mrs. Edwards
stopped smiling altogether and was
headed for hysterical nervous break
down. A Black Hand love suit intro
duced itself through her mail. The
letters were dark with threats where
they weren't flOwery with love. This
line appeared in all three received by
Mrs. Edwards:
I'm a friendly ally, but a dan
gerOus enemy. Your husband, Guy Ed
wards, is an old-time wife deserter.
Come to me, love. If you will meet
me put personal ad in the Tribune"
Lay Trap for Him.
All the letters were written on It's
sue paper. They were followed by
telephone campaign. Mrs. Edwards
received three or four calls a day at
her place of employment.
Yesterday she and Mr.. Edwards de-
cided to trap the anonymous letter
writer. Mrs. Edwards agreed to meet
her mysterious pursuer when he called
over the telephone as usual. She and
Mr. EdwarAS then secured the services
of Detective Sergeants Thomas Cassin
and John Mason from the bureau. The
detectives went to the Sunnyside ex-
change and traced the next call to Mrs.
Edwards apartment. 1t came from
drug store at Racine and Wilson ave-
nues. Cassin and Mason jumped into
an auto and raced for it while Mrs.
Edwards kept her sutton on the wire.

CHAPTER XVII.
The Only Woman.

During the pleasant, busy days that
followed, to all appearances Marie en-
joyed the work and planning and the
long hours of companionship fully as
much as Hardy. Dupont, now ever
bluff and genial, kept close to his
store. But during the long evening
discussions his eyes often twinkled
cunningly under their gray thatch.
No word had been received from
Washington except two notes from
Vandervyn to Dupont, reporting favor

what these contained, even to her ia

Hardy's first-and last-message in

She blushed and trembled. But she
had spent all the days of his absence
in that intimate cOmradeship with
Hardy. At the moment when Wander
vyn thought to take her into his arms,
her will rallied, her eyes hardened
with resolution.

is enough. You also shall wait"

Until then we shall continue to be
the same good comrades that we have
been"
The girl drew in deep breath.
'Then-let us go back to work."
Hardy accepted the suggestion with
a self-control that was as remarkable
as it was misplaced.
