When tamed they act in a. similar manner to the dog which has genera- tions of civilized ancestors behind him. The Australian dingo, however, has a bad habit which no amount of taming can eradicate. Its favorite food, in the wild state, is poultry. hasn’t. Wild dogs do not bark, though one of the South African species utters three distinct and curious cries. As a rule, too. wild dogs hold their tails and ears erect. An invention has been brought out by a British pilot which will have the effect of lessening the risk of a vessel running aground in shallow water or in a. fog. In the bottom of the ship is a small window of very thick glass, through which a searchlight throws a strong beam of light on to the bed of the ocean. Above the window is a gate valve which, it the glass should get broken. could be closed instantly to prevent flooding. Given the exact distance along the ship’s keel between the searchllght window and this tube, plus the angle which the tube has to make with the ship (the searchiight shines at a right angle) a simple calculation will work out the length of the searchlight’s beam. And so the captain knows the precise depth of water in which he is sailing. In the East is a great variety of wild dogs. The pariah dog lives among human beings, but will attack them it it has the chance. It acts as a scaven- ger and lives on ofl'al. In appearance this animal is tawnycolored, and looks what it isâ€"a. most unpleasant brute. The Indian wild dog is somewhat larger than a. jackal. It runs in packs and is absolutely fearless. These dogs are difficult to tame, but sometimes they are used in coursing and pig- sticking. Towards the bow of the ship is a gun-metal chamber open to the sea at the bottom, containing a tube which can be moved from the inside. This tube is directed on to the point of light cast by the searchlight on the bed of the sea, and the angle it has to make to hit this spot is recorded. When perfected, this new depth find- er will eliminate the difliculties of sounding. and will tell the captain his depth in any condition of weather. If you have half an hour to spare, don’t spend it with somebody who The dog'is the most respectable member of his family. His relatives include such unpleasant creatures as wolves, jackals, and foxes. Apart from these distant connections, however, there are many first cousins of our household pet whom he would not care to acknowledge. The South African wild or hyena dog is more like a wolf. It runs and hunts in packs. sleeping half-day and half-night and hunting the rest of the time. The Dog’s Savage Relations. ALWAYS.

Picturesque, too, are “At the foot of the lighthouse it »is dark," and “When the hen crows the house goes to ruin.” The latter saying indicates the Japanese view of feminism.

It re~ quires thought, study, hard work, and experience for a person to become efâ€" ficient. No amount of ambition alone can make us efficient. The Japanese, who are already set» ting to work to reconstruct the cities devastated by the recent terrible earthquake, have many quaint nation- al proverbs. One of their greatest characteristics â€"Preseveranceâ€"finds expression in their saying: “Fall seven times, stand up the eighth time." Another in the same vein declares: "A road to a thou- sand miles begins with one step.” The Japanese equivalent of “casting pearls before swine.” is “giving gold coins to a. cat," and instead of “a wolf in sheep's clothing," they say “a wolf dressed in a priest’s robes.” Minard's Llnime‘nt for Dandrufi‘ DH Wise Words from Japan. h pod 10.000 Dfmond Dye; Ambition. 1t of the wild to 60.000 se with 3K 11g we need or in us awaiting seeds E434 it. Wild Rose had reported to him the result of her canvass of the tenants. One or two of them she had missed, but she had maneged to see all the rest. Nothing of importance had de- veloped from these talks. Some did not care to say anything. Others wanted to gossip a whole afternoon away, but knew no more than What the newspapers had told them. The single fact stood out from her inquir- ies was that those who lived in the three apartments nearest to Number 12 had all been out of the house on the evening of the twenty-third. The man who rented the rooms next those of Cunnir on the tw drape 913p“, “Yes, but she smelt a violet perâ€" fume that both she an’ I noticed in the apartment. My hunch is that the man an’ the woman were comin’ from my uncle’s rooms.” “Would she recognize them? Rose, I mean?” asked Sanborn. “No; it was on the dark stairs.” “Hmp! Queer they didn’t come for- ward an’ tell they had met a woman goin’ up. That is, if they hadn’t any- thing to do with the crime.” “Would she recognize them? Rose, I mean?” asked Sanborn. “No; it was on the dark stairs.” “Hmp! Queer they didn’t come for- ward an’ tell they had met a woman goin’ up. That is, if they hadn’t any- thing to do with the crime.” “Yes. Of course there might be other reasons why they must keep quiet. Some love affair, for instance.” “Sure. That might be, an' that would explain Why they went down the dark stairs an’ didn't take the elevator.” “Just the same I’d like to find out who that man an’ woman are,” Kirby said. He lifted his hand in a small gesture. “This is the Paradox Apart- cents.” ' - “Wha’éâ€"whatâ€"‘I hung ipoised. 7 “What am I doin’ out o’ jailA Mr. Hull?

At the third floor they got out and turned to the right. With the Yale key his cousin had given him Kirby opened the door of Apartment 12_. He know that there was not an inch of space in the rooms that the police and the newsfiaper reporters had not raked as wit a fine-tooth comb for clues. The desk had been ransacked, the books and magazines shaken, the rugs taken up. There was no chance that he would discover anything new unlesaiig might be by deduction. “What do you think Vof that priie package, Cole?" asked Lane, his eyes follqwipg the map. “Looks to me like you’re overlookin’ a bet, son,” he said. “What about this Jap fellow?

His cousin had given it to him a little reluctantly. “The police don’t want things mov- ed about,” he had explained. “They would probably call me down if they knew I’d let you in.” . “All I want to do is to look the ground over a bit. What the police don't know won’t worry ’em any,” the cattleman had suggested. “All right.” James had shrugged his shoulders and turned over the key. “If you think you can find out any- thing I don’t see any objection to your going in.” Kirby Wasted no time in searching What interested him was its entrances and its exits, its relation to adjoining ‘rooms and buildings. He had reason lto believe that, between nine o’clock and half-past ten on the night of the :twentyâ€"third, not less than eight erâ€" ?sons in addition to Cunningham ad been in the apartment. How had they ‘all managed to get in and out without ‘being seen by each other? Lane talked aloud, partly to clear his own thought and partly to put the ;situation before his friend.

My uncle didn’t reach his rooms before nine o’clock. He changed his shoes, put on a smokin’-jacket, an’ lit a cigar. He had it half smoked before he was tied to the chair. That cuts down to less than three-quarters of an hour the time in which he was chloroformed, tied up to the chair, an’ shot, an’ in which at least six people paid a visit here, one of the six stayin’ long enough to go through his desk an’ look over a whole lot 0’ papers. Some 0’ these people were sure enough treadin’ close on each other’s heels an’ I reckon some were makin’ quick get, aways.” “Looks reasonable," Cole admitted. “I’ll bet I wasn’t the only man in a hurry that night an’ not the only one trapped here. The window of the den was open when I came. Don’t you reckon some one else beat it by the fire escape?” “Might’ve.” They passed into the small room where James Cunningham had met his death. Broad daylight though it was, Kirby felt for an instant a tightening at his heart. In imagination he saw again the gargoyle grin on the dead face upturned to his. With an effort he pushed from him the grewsome memory._ The chair in which the murdered man had been found was gone. The district attorney had taken it for an exhibit at the trial of the man upon whom evidence should fasten. The lit- tered papers had been sorted and most of them removed, probabl by James Cunningham, Junior. 0t erwise the room remained the same. The air was close. Kirby stepped to the Window and threw it up. He looked out at the fire escape and at the wall of the rooming-house across the alley. Denver is still young. It offers the incongruities of the West. The Paradox Apartments had been remodeled and were modern and up- toâ€"date. Adjoining it was the W) nd- ham Hotel, a survival of earlier days which could not long escape the march of progress. “The lady of the violet perfume an’ her escort were here,” Kirby went on. “At least she wasâ€"mos“ prob’ly he was, too. It’s a cinch the Hulls were in the rooms. They were scared stifl" when I saw ’em a little later. They lied on the witness stand so as to clear themselves an’ get me into trouble in their place. Olson backs up the evi- dence. He good as told me he'd seen Hull in my uncle’s rooms. If he did he must ’3’ been present himself. Then there’s the Jap Horikawa. He’d beat it before the police went to his room to arrest him at daybreak on the mornin' after the murder. How did he know my uncle had been killed? It’s not likely any one told him be- tween half-past ten an’ half-past five the next mo’nin’. No, sir. He knew it because his eyes had told him so.” “I’ll say he did,” agreed Sanborn. “Good enough. That makes eight of us that came an’ went. We don’t need to figure on Rose an’ me. I came by the door _an’ went by the fire escape. Cole, still almost incredulous at the mention of Rose as a suspect, opened his lips to speak and closed them again with no word uttered. He was one of those loyal souls who can trust withoutfisking for explanations. “0’ course I don’t know every one of the eight was here. I'm guessin' from facts I do know, makin’ infer- ences, as you might say. To begin with, I was among those present. So was Rose.

Lane and his friend stepped out to the platform of the fire escape. Below them was the narrow alleyway, direct- ly in front the iron frame of “he Wyndham fire escape.
