London Times. Tanner they are. OF

much closer quarters than would be
possible II they were truly Wild.
The habits OF the red deer, always
well worth studying. are especially in

to her husband that every time she met
certain man on the street, or in the
cars that he oggled her, and tried to fiirt
with her. This so Infatuated the hus-
band that he shot and fatally wounded
the man, who protested with his dying
breath that he had never noticed the
woman at all, and could not even dis
tinguish her in his memory from the
crowd of females he saw everywhere,
every day.
The murdered man was staid, re-
spectacle husband and father, with no
Don Juan tendencies, and no lesnings
towards the double life. Undoubtedly
he spoke the truth when he protested his
innocence of having cast amorous glances
at the lady, and it was only her self

irresistible to every passing male.

The story thus far:
Mrs. Hudson. the landlady Of Sher-

,o Dr. Watson. saying Sherlock Holmes
VAS diving. For three days he had
been sinking. He would have no doc

when Watson reached him he was
in very bad way, but would not let
Watson touch him. He said he was
suffering from strange cooiie disease
from Suma,ra. about which London
doctors knew nothing. Holmes con-
demned Watson's limited knowledge.
DIR. Watson was hurt. Seeing this,
Holmes assured him that he only
meant that Watson knew nothing
of the obscure Eastern disease from
which he suffered which he had caught
while working among some coolies at
che docks. When Watson insisted
ne would call n doctor, Holmes sprang
io the door and locked IT. He stag
rcred back to bed, saying that at the
end Of two hours, NJ six O'Clock. he
would let Watson 60 for help. Watson,

black and white ivory box. Holmes gave

six he asked him to go fetch MIR. Gull

ment of his disease, but TO return ahead
of him.
Watson left with instructions to
tell Mr.. Smith just what he saw
Sherlock Holmes diving man. Holmes
Wandered rs he talked, but finally
Natson left him. Below, he met MIR
Morton of Scotland Yard. who inquired
for Holmes. He then went TO Mr.. Smith {
The servant announced him, hut Smith
wouldn't let him in. Watson, however
pushed back the servant and entered
the room and found himself confronting
a man with an enormous skull, a yellow
coarse-grained face, and a frail twisted
body.
Mr.. Smith was angry at the IN
srlsion but on learning that Watson
came from Holmes finally consented
tn 90 10 see him. Smith said he wa:
an amateur in disease rs Holmes
WAS in crime and pointed to som'
tubes containing cultures of strang'

turned ahead of Smith and Holmes
asked him TO hide himself behinc
the head of the bed. lie cautioned
him ON no account To do anything but
listen. Watson heard Smith enter

These women have made the mistake OF
Of taking too seriously every trifing

comes TO see woman is no enrthly sign
that he is in love with her. He may
come because she has comfortable chairs

Of amusement because he has decency
enough to want To make some return
for the hospitality he has received, or
because he likes to go TO places OF amuse-
ment and doesn't like TO go alone, and
she is a good cbum.
But until n man tells woman ne
loves her in good set terms, and asks
her to marry him, she has no right to
believe he is in love with her, or to base
any hope upon his intentions. As for

The women who believe themselves
