Rats More Learned in Ohio.

Rats destroy on an average of $500
worth of catalogues each year at Ohio
state university, according to Lester
F.. Wolfe. secretary of the entrance
board. The rodents, which infest the
basement of University ball, where the
catalogues are kept, nibble the binding
of the books in order to get the paste
which holds the leaves together. The
common methods used to get rid Of
rats. such as poison and traps, have
long since been given UP as useless,
for the rats. probably because of their
environment, are too wise to be tempt
ed by either.

self was worthless. The best that she
could do was to be OF use TO others.
That was her resolution In the days
that followed the numbing shock of
the intelligence.
Thus the day came when at her IA
theirs pleading, she placed her hand
In that of Sebastian Navarro.
Il consent, upon our understanding"
she said to the Argentine.
John Walcott had continued to rep
resent to his daughter that his finances
were in a critical state. He had said
nothing Of Sebastian's loan, which had
actually so far improved his position
that he saw prospects Of repaying IL
and resuming his old status. To save
her father Leontine had consented.
Her consent was coupled with the
restriction that the marriage was to
be one in name only, until Sebastian
had won her love. That, she knew,
would never happen. But Sebastian,
infatuated with the girl, believed that,
once he had her as his wife, the path
to happiness would be smooth one.
They were married at the American
consulate in Porto DelgadO, and sailed
for New York, where Sebastian was
establishing a branch of his business.
They secured splendid apartment on
Riverside drive, and Leontine found
herself with all that money could COM
mand.
Sebastian was very patient for the
first month after her arrival. Leon
tine, though she knew that she could
never love him, felt her heart soften
ing.
Then came what she had long dread
ed. Sebastian resolved to use other
means than those he had adopted,
which seemed impossible of success.
Leontine was amazed and terrified
at the transformation in his appear.
The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1917-02-22

ance as he entered the apartment
that evening. He seemed a different
man. Sebastian had always appeared
gentleman at least in eXternals. Now
he came in violently, his hat on the
back Of his head, his steps uncertain.
To her horror LeOntine saw that he
had been drinking.
"Leontlne, there's got to be an end
of this" he said thickly.
She rose and stood before him in
dumb terror, staring into his flushed
face.
everything you want, and I've tried to
make you happy. What's your game?
What are you holding out for, eh?"
Sebastian, you-yOu know your
PROMISE" faltered the girl.
He caught her fiercely by the wrist
and thrust his face into hers. The
smell of brandy on his breath nauseat-
ed her.
"a ruse, my dear" he mumbled.
"See here, Leontine, you might as we'll
give in. You know you haven't any
legal rights in the matter. That's
enough, isn't it? If you know how l
love you, Leontine-"
A maudlin fit overcame him. He
burst into tears, while the girl looked
at him In ever-increasing disgust.
II love you, Leontine," he babbled.
"What have 1 done to deserve this
treatment? I'll be your slave and do
anything you ask me If only you'll try
to love me a little. Promise me you'll
try, LeOntine."
He grasped her in his arms and
pressed his kisses upon her lips and
throat and brow. Leontlne, writing
helplessly in his clutch, felt herself
impotent.
Sebastian, dragging her across the
room suddenly released her. An in
articulate cry broke from his lips.
Leontine opened her eyes, Keeling as
she strove to keep her foothold. She
saw upon Sebastlan's face stupefac-
ton, and fear, frantic fear.
He was pointing across the room
and muttering. His gestures were
those of a mailman.
Leontine's gaze followed his. In a
far corner, at the height of the head of
a man, she saw two burning eyes, and,
close beneath them, two white hands,
one of which clutched a dagger.
That was all. There was no body,
nothing but the two eyes and the
white hands that clutched the steel.
But the Thing was alive. The eyes
glowed with hatred that made them
orbs of fire. Leontine saw one of the
hands raise the dagger and move to-
ward the Argentine.
Sebastian saw that too. His first
shock of terror had sent him stagger-
ing back against the wall, numbed,
dazed and palsied. Now he screamed
in mortal fear, turned, and dashed
from the room. Leontine heard him
running down the hall. The hall door
opened and slammed. Sebastian was
gone.

Of her lover had somewhat changed
public sentiment.
"Put that woman out !" Numbered
the judge who had pronounced the SEN
tence.
But the command was superfluous.
Leontine reeled and fell unconscious
into her fathers arms.
Jerry's first thought when he heard
the verdict was of pity for Leontine.
His second was that somehow he
would escape to her.
She went TO see him the following
day before he was removed to the
penal institution.
"Jerry-Jerry, darling, I shall de-
vote my life to setting you Free" she
said. you were not spared in the
wreck to be lost to me in this way"
He urged her to forget him, to be
happy with another, but he knew that
the words signified nothing to either
of them. Their lips met through the
lattice. Then she was gone, and Jerry
looked into the blackness of death
in life.
A few weeks after the trial, when
Jerry had already been removed to
the up-country prison, John Walcott
approached his daughter again upon
the subject of Sebastian.

wealth and ruin" he told her bluntly.
IF you become his wife, he will ad-
vance me enough money to retrieve
my affairs. If you refuse, we shall be
penniless beggars."
Leontine consented. Before the
month was out Sebastian had again
asked her to be his wife. He had
been very patient, very gentle with
her for a long time past. Leontine
felt trapped and helpless. She prom
ised him his answer soon.

The speaker, an old convict who had
served the greater part of his life in
the penitentiary, looked at Jerry hope
lessly as he spoke.
Orders had come that all life pris-
oners were to be removed from the
mainland and transported to lonely
island in the Atlantic.
Jerry ground his teeth with helpless
rage when he heard it. He had never
abandoned the hope of efrecting his
escape.
A week later the prisoners were
manacled and marched down to the
wharf, where the convict ship lay
ready to transport them. They were
marched aboard and taken into the
hold.
Only for brief half-hour each day
were the prisoners allowed on deck in

COL. WHITE STILL BOOSTING.

Col. A. A. White of St. Paul, who
two years ago purchased from the
government Wild Horse island and a
large number of villa sites on Flat
head lake, was in Butte yesterday.
The colonel believes there is no more
beautiful country lying out of doors
than that found along the shores of
Montana's greatest lake and he has
backed this sentiment by investing
large sum of money there in real es-
tate. With the opening of the new
branch of the Northern Pacific run
ming from Dixon to Poison, it is prob
able that more citizens of this state
will become familiar with this most
charming section of Montana. 1t is
certainly an ideal region for the To-
cation of summer homes and anyone
who visits this region at once will ap-
preciate this fact The colonel al
most single-handed is doing great
deal to advertise the Flathead coun-
try in the east and he is entitled to
the hearty support of the people of
this commonwealth in these efforts.

girl is here and those in authority
say she has come to stay.
The new federal law requiring that
children under a certain age shall
not be employed and the fact that
war conditions have produced a
shortage of boys have led the tele-
graph companies to consider the
question of girl messengers and in
Butte the Continental Telegraph
company has already placed four at
work.
Girls Making Good.
Incidentally it might be mentioned,
that the girls are making good. In
some ways they are proving better
than boys. They are proving more
prompt and when sent with a mes
sage they deliver it and return i'm
mediately.
The girls are not sent to any ques-
ClOudDlC plelSC, OulJ W OuoAASoo dIlu
residential houses. They are being
used on the day shift only, the COM
pany employing boys at night. The
girls get practically the same pay
as the boys on the same shift. Night
work pays a little higher.
The messenger girl has many ad-
vantages over the girl who clerks or
acts in the capacity of cash girl in
stores. In those positions they are
forced to remain indoors much of the
time. The messenger girl is outside
most of the day and meeting new ex-
periences of value to her. She will
be protected and there can be no OBJ
lection to such work for her.
New Law Affects Service.
The state law forbids any one un-
der 16 years working in the capacity
of messenger. At present with the
young men going to the relief of the
army and navy their places are being
filled by these younger boys. Thus
a shortage of messenger boys re-
suited and the girls are looked to for
help.
The girls will be given oportuni-
ties to learn telegraphy and to Sc
cure advancement to positions as
clerks. There are many openings in
the Geographic service for young wo-
men as there are as many women en-
ployed in some Montana offices as
there are men.

FAMOUS BLUEBIRD SILVER
MINE WILL BE OPERATED

Butte is experiencing a revival of
silver mining and great activity is
noticed in leasing along the famous
silver lead, said to be the longest in
the world, which runs from "Lovers
Roost" to Rocker, and some of the
old mines, famous in the days when
silver mining was in it's glory, ere
being reopened.
Reports from the copper camp are
to the effect that leases have been
granted right and left recently and
the southwestern portion of the city,
through which the vein is known to
pass, has become one most active dis
trict.
Work has been started on the Ger
mania, Travonia and Hibernia, all
idle for years. The old Bluebird
mine near Rocker. which at one time
was the most famous silver mine in
the world, is to be reopened. The
low-grade ore of that mine may be
mined at handsome profit with sill
yer at it's present price, which is
double what it was when the shut
down occurred in the early nineties.
