Seanty Fare,

William Snyder, head keeper at the
Central park menagerie, is willing to
answer any question regarding animals
at any hour Of the day or night. That
readiness frequently gives him an In.
sight into domestic tragedies affecting
the life or liberty Of birds. dogs, cats,
monkeys and even turtles kept as pets
In New York homes. says the New
York Herald.
Mr.. Snyder was called to the tele.
phone the other afternoon and ques-
toned by an agitated woman who
sought to know the proper food for a
turtle. Mr.. Snyder explained that It
depended upon the type Of turtle. and
upon being informed that 1t was a lit

Strengthened himself with Jerk and

plnnging his hand into his breast, he
drew out his mouth organ.
The relief was only momentarily
achieved. The monsters came crowd.
Ing back. They pinioned Donald's
arms to his sides by pressure. In an
other instant Clouts would have paid
the debt he never owed MacBeard.
II was then the ruling passion as
serted Itself In Clouts. Perhaps 1t was
because he thought his chance would
never come again, or II might have
been mere habit. Setting his hand to
his lips, he struck out the reedy notes
OF sally In Our Alley"
Donald saw the phosphorescenc run
from them along the cave like liquid
fire. He heard MaeBeard's deep note,
saw the fire quiver and vanish In the
darkness outside the cave. Meanwhile
Sam Clouts played on.
Donald seized Davies arm In wild
excitement.
"Don't you see" he cried. "It's mu.
sic. not the sounds, because they can't
hear those, but only the vibrations.
That's their language. And MacBeard
learned somewhere that they wouldn't

"A tuning fork!" shouted Davies.
With their arms linked, they ran
into the throng Of scurrylng monsters,

Clouts in the van. blowing his mouth

hurried before them In evident panic.
The contact with the slippery bodies
no longer produced residence. The
elusive nhosphorescent CLEANS shot
here and there like will-o'-the-wisps.
MaeBeard was nowhere to be seen.
At the caves entrance Sam Clouts
paused and turned to Donald.
II wish I'd brought my bass con-

"Never mind; you're doing very
well indeed, Clouts." answered Donald.

CHAPTER xi.
The interloper.

Ida went into Donald's cabin. Don.
aid himself arranged to sleep In the
messroom. Davies had his cabin. and
Clouts the first watch. Presently Don
aid found himself alone.
He got into his hammock. but he
could not grapple with the situation.
II seemed so unreal that he half ex.
pected to awake and find that he had
been delirious. and that he was Just
coming to after resculng Ida from the
wreck OF the Beotia. He felt more
and more nervous. He got up and sat
down at the table staring into the
darkness In front OF him.
Suddenly he leaped to his feet with
choked cry. Across the messroom.
at a distance of about eight PAGES, he
saw, mlstily outlined. the face and
body Of the woman whom he had imag-
lned that he saw In the house In Bal.
tlmore-and again outsIde,
He stared at her incredulously. He
saw her so family that once again he
believed himself the victim Of hallu-
cination. The faintest illumination
played about her. showing only the
ethereal spirit that seemed incarnate
in vapory cloud.
But this was no monster such as
those devils of the sea. II was the
most beautiful woman whom Donald
had ever seen or imagined.
He stumbled toward her. He put
out his hand. As he did SO, the figure
moved. and he heard Enthusiastically the
falntest slide Of feet upon the floor.
He tried to catch her. to satisfy him.
self that he was not dreaming. but she
eluded him with ease, seeming TO float
before his eyes, now here. now there.
Suddenly the door opened. Donald
saw Ida standing In the doorway. by
the light of the candle within her
cabin.
"Donald!" she cried. II thought

door"
"Ida -
The denial died on his lips. He was
not sure. He glanced hastily about
him, and. at the far end, he thought
he saw the dim outlines OF his visitor
again.
Ida peered through the darkness.
She saw nothing, but she interpreted
Donald's movements correctly.
Donald! Who is she7 How did
she come here?"
There Is nobody, Ida" He heard
the desperation IN his voice; and at
that instant yearning toward the
ethereal loveliness Of that uncanny
wrath filled his whole heart. He took
match from his box and struck 1t.
The spurt Of fame illuminated the
messroom. 1t was entirely empty.
"You see. dear" said Donald. turn
ing to Ida with an embarrassed laugh.
"You have been dreaming. dear"
"Yes. I suppose l have been dream.

without conviction. And suddenly she
was crying upon bis shoulder.

"Dear. you are hysterical. In the
morning It will be all right"
"You don't love me any more, Don.
