Though they were prepared for it, frightful countenance took both of them, in Foster the appearance of that a sense, unawares. It was who uttered the cry of horror that rang out. His lips could not remain closed under thé strain, "Shoot, doc!" .s Firt One-eye's gun, I'oster crashed out. Bang! Bang! . The noise filled the apartment, bursting on their ears with the rev- erberations of thunder. Then, in the midst of the din, One-eye leaped up and thrust his arm forward, gun swinging down as he fired again, and the spectre was blotted out. This time a cry rang out from the Lawn, shrill--and sharp; it was a cry of pain. "Doc! Come!" The blotting out of the ghostly face had been so swift as fo make Foster wonder if he had really seen it. One moment it was within six vards of them; the next it had gone, wiped out as swiftly as a camera shutter descends. Ore-cye was already at the door and Poster followed on his heels. They rushed down the stairs, hearing, as they sped, the occupants of the house arousing themselves; but no explanations could be given 'them. One-eye was like a black vengeance in pursuit of its victim, At the foot of the stairs the dog was tied by a slip. knot to the pillar. Foster had the leash in his hand and felt the dog leap up all bristling with rage and excitement. "Tet de dawg go, doe! sub!" Away sped the animal across the lawn, roaring his heart out. The two men rushed in pursuit, One-cye first as if he saw in the dark. "Hold up, doe!" --The sharp snarl of the dog ahead was followed by a fierce growl. Foster felt, rather than saw, the dog leap forward; and then One-cye's voice rang oiit in warning. 2 "Mind yo' feet, doc! Watch out fo' de trip-wires!"

The cord came away in their hands. They raced forward and were half- way across the lawn when a shot rang out. Foster heard the bullet sing past his ear. Out went One- eye's torch, but his arm weht up and his gun flashed. "Down! On yo' face!" , They dropped together in time -- only just. Another flash stabbed the another bullet soared over their bodies. But almost simultancously with the flash of the enemy gun was the roar of One-eye's weapon, and IFoster's spoke a mom- ent later. a . or 2 "Separate a yard, doe! Den' fire again, Same target, suh!" } They rolled apart, and fired again, aiming as near as possible at the place where they had seen the flash. This time there was no reply. A sudden silence fell on the night. But the silence did mot last. It was the dog's snarl that came to: them-- a snarl and then a sound of worry- ing, terrible, savage worrying. "The dog! One-eye, the dog!" They ran forward, One-eye light- ing up the ground with his torch. "Look, One-cye! Good Lord! Call him off! Down, there!" ; Foster rushed -in and seized the leash of the dog, hauling at him for dear life. He grabbed--the-collar- of the animal 'and tried to pacify him, but the dog leaped and struggled and could be held only with difficulty. On the ground lay a huddled fig- ure. A pair of arms' were wawing in the light of One-eye's torch, striking out spasmodically at the dog, while a voice hurled curses at all and sundry. One-eye stepped up and seized the arms while he poured the beams of his torch on the frantic figure. "Doc!" "Who is it, One-eye? Hughes?" "Naw. But he's a goner, doe. All shot up. Keep clear!" - "Yo' swine!" One-eye leaped baek quickly.as a stick shot out stabbing at him vici- oosly. : "Pisen' stick, doc! Same's we found in his room," With an adroit swing of his club, One-eye knocked the stick from the man's grasp and shot his light on his again. : "Doc, look deve!"

LONDON, Ont. --- Because the breadth of eyebrows will not reveal what mental wheels are turning he- 'hind them, Dr. D. J. Wilson, psycho- logist on the staff of the University of Western Ontario recently offered business men a scientific substitute for their old fashioned eyebrows, to test the worth of their prospective employes. It is psychological gold bricks the gullible business men are buying when they think they can judge the character and the ability of their prospective employes by the color of their hair, or the slant of their noses, said Dr. Wilson. He offered them, instead, psy: chology--at a price, He told the students that business men must sce to it that-research in psychology is made possible, just as is research in 'other sciences, The. only exception he made was in the hiring of beautiful girls, It didn't need a psychologist, he con- ceded; to give advice on that ques- tion. It is obviously good practice, he agreed, to hire beautiful girls for the ranks of the employes who must neet the public. He even offered them psychology to advise them how to pay their em- ployes. It make a difference whether a man gets his money once a week or once a month, Some like it monthly, others weekly. The psy- chologist can advise on the subject, especially if his research opportuni- tiescare improved. Organization Assures.

"Insects," say the- misan- thropes, "Man," said Barton Eddy, naturalist, at a recent meeting of the Executives' Club at the Sherman hotel in Chicago. ; With all the advantages insects have over man, physiologically speak- ing, they will never be able to gain supremacy upon this earth, he as- sured those who havé nightmares of insect hordes winning in the titanic struggle some see going on between man and insects for the possession of the carth, Among the advantages insects have over man, Mr. Eddy mentioned were 'no Jungs with which to get T.B., no arteries to harden, no ap- pendix to rupture, no teeth to decay. They can digest more rapidly than man, some of them digesting four times their own weight in a single day. Their smelling organs are keener than a setter's and their ner- vous system is less capable of being out of order." - "Insects have an outside skeleton, which acts as a coat -of mail to" pro- tect the vital organs," he said. "Man has most of his organs unprotected. multiply. Some of them lay but one egg, from which sixty-five result. S"The' common plant louse," if it were allowed to live and breed throughout "a single season, and if its young were to do the same, would have at the close of the season, if all were to survive, over 560 quad- rillion descendants, Prof. Glen Her- rick of .Cornell university claims that the combined weight of these plant lice would be greater than the combined weight of all the people upon the earth." Among the disadvantages of- the linsects which give man supremacy is the fact that the outside skeleton, or coat of mail, is dead and ineap- able of expansion as the creature grows. While shedding its skeleton it is absolutely at the mercy of its foes. _ While their digestion is bet- ter than man's, insects are special- ists and if their diet specially is not available they starve, - Man also can invent machines which excel the smelling organs of the insects, and has a more sénsi- tive if less 'stable nervous system. Besides insects are cold-blooded, and become. unvoluntarily temperatures of forty degrees Fah- renheit or less, and are at the merey of their enemies, ~ There is also marked dissention within the ranks of the insects. They are their own worst enemies. By] presenting .a united front against the insects -man will retain his sue premacy.----The Chicago Daily News. * Publicity "Out" NICE,~--One of the cases when it does not pay to advertise is when publicity concerns a reigning mon- arch. : Hotel keepers, restaurant dwnoers, and casino managements on the Riveria- are having this fact brought home to them by the authorities.
