The common names of this mouse com», as would be exâ€" pected, from the animal‘s habit of catâ€" ing insects, grasshoppers being preâ€" ferred, but scorpions, crickets, beetles or almost any other insect being acâ€" cepted if grasshoppers are scarce. On one occasion, Dr. Bailey states, his house was invaded by cockroaches which had got a foothold in the baseâ€" ment and kitchen. A pair of the grasshopper mice »appened to be on hand for seientific study, so Dr. Bailey placed the cage containing these mice in the kitcher one night, closed the kitchen doors and windows and openâ€" ed the cage. Next morning both mice were found fast asleep in their nest in the cage, with hundreds of loose cockâ€" roach legs seattered «round the edges of the kitchen to show that the night had not been idle. Repeating this for a few nights ridded the kitchen of the insects. The two mice were then left loose in the basement, provided with ample water and with vegetable food. Preferring insect food, however, the two mice soon cleaned up the cockâ€" r:ach invasion of the basement as they had that of the kitchen. Grasshopper mice are fearless fighters against inâ€" seets or other small animals. undone, Lend me your spill of morning tunes ~o> I‘ll flaunt my dream with any one. dayâ€" s « But there are waiting trysts to keep; Now when a bird will lift as high .

Mumbling this conventjonal reply, he turned away to hide his face. C This thing was getting richer and richer. Where was it to end? He didn‘t care twoâ€"pence so long as the developments were interesting. So the real Philip Crane came from America; he remembered reading in the train that the "Aquitania‘" was due to berth at Southampton that morning. Amâ€" ericaâ€"and Truro. And yet, that great distance had been bridged; the widely divergent points of the compass had met at the Midâ€"Western Hotel!" "How long have you been keeping my rooms?" he asked. He could underâ€" stand now why so many boys wished to become detecrives in later life. The reply was prompt. "Immediately we received your wireless from the ‘Aquitania,‘ Mr. Crane." As he passed through the swingâ€" doors leading to the street, he smiled At th« office, he stopped for a 110â€" ment, to exchange a word with the clerk. This decision was so stimulating that he felt he must get out of doors. This room was too small. Besides, he wanted exerciseâ€"and a dinner at some swagger restaurant, where, howâ€" ever, there was no necessity to dress. He thought he‘d go to Vernay‘sâ€"or one of. those places in Scho. He would choose later. No, he‘d be dashed if he would! This was an opportunity too good to be missed. Life in his uncle‘s drawâ€" ing office was too dull to let a chance like this go by. He was on holidayâ€" and a touch cf adventure thrown in would be mors than welcome. He would sit tight and see what hapâ€" pened ! ' Caution and commonâ€"sense applied a cool douche. The management would understand when he told them how the mistake had occurred. At the worst, they could only charge him for a day‘s tenancy of the suite. He must get out. What decided him was the knowlâ€" edge that he had not acted dishonorâ€" ably. Those letters which belonged to someone else were completely uninâ€" telligible to him. Here was mystery. He tingled at the thought. By some extraordinary chance, he must have become involved in one of those sensaâ€" tional hcppenings that were to be read about occasionally in the newspapers.

She was dressed on a fashion which he knew must denots wealth and what he couid only scribe as "cosmopolitanism." Ins. }â€" He was ready for a surprise. But the woman who rose to meet him fairâ€" ly took his breath away. At first he did not think she could possibly belong to the ordinary world: thera war a Going to the office for his key, he was greeted with an announcement from the night clerk. "Mr. Crane?" asked the man. ltYes?" "A lady has called to see you, Mr. Crane." "A lady?" Here was another stagâ€" gering surprise. He didn‘t know a single woman in London. .But he must play up. This was only another inciâ€" dent in the strange chain of circumâ€" staces in which he had become inâ€" volved. "Did she mention any name?" "No, sir; she merely said that you were expecting ner." ‘"Where is she now?" "She was shown up to your suite, sir." It was strangely stimulating for a "yokel" like himself to walk through tLose thronged streets, dazzling to the eye with beautiful women and wellâ€" dressed men. Truro after this! Crane walked on, and on, too abâ€" sorbed to bother about the distance; and he wes only agreeably tired upon arrival back at the Midâ€"Western Hotel. With this, Crane was tempted to pal up with the man, but before be could make any advance, his companâ€" ion had turned abruptly and walked quickly away. Had Crane followed him in turn, he would have seen the man go into the nearest Underground Station telephone booth and make a call. The message he sent was reâ€" ceived at Scotland Yard. The speaker had a stern, hard face, but it contained a . certain likeable quality. Crane was instantly apoloâ€" getic. "Following you?" repeated the other man; "I‘m afraid you‘ve made a misâ€" take, sir. If I have been going in the same direction as yourself, 1 assure you it is purely coinc.Gence. 1 am a stranger to London, and just wanderâ€" ing around to kill time." "Sorry if I‘m wrong," he said; "but, honestly, I imagined you were followâ€" ing me all about the place. Weren‘t you at Vernay‘s tonight?" "Yes, I was," admitted the other. "But, once again, let me assure you that you are entirely wrong in your surmise." "I should like to know why you‘re following me," said Crane. It was when he had gone about a dozen yards from the theatre that he suddenly turned. A man following immediately at his heels was unable to avoid the contact, and the two colâ€" lided. . With so many other places to choose from, the thought of another show, however, seemed flat in comparison. He wou.d have a wander through the streets, fascinating at that time of night to a provincial like himself, and return to the hotel where, possibly, in the smoking room, he might get a rubber of bridge. The savour of Lonâ€" don wa. too fine to be gulped. To get its full relish, he must digest it by degrees "I can give you a stall for +toâ€" morrow night," suggested the boxâ€" office clerk. y "Oh, can you?â€"thanks." He paid his money, took his ticket, and turned away. This was a blow. He had been lookâ€" ing forward to seeing the drama, ‘‘Wandering Men," ever since its firstâ€" night performance which had received such maptuous notice from the criti‘s. But, of course, he had only hilmself to blame in this, as in the matter of the hotel, he had not troubled to write Leforehand. A taxi to St. James‘ Theatre brought him his first disappointment. "Sorry, sir, but there‘s not a seat left." Lighting a cigar at the match which the maitre d‘hotel himself struck, Crane felt that life could searcely hold a better moment than this. He was on top of the world. He had dined well at Vernay‘s. The head. waiter had seemed to make a special point of treating him as a distinguished customer, and the food and wine had been beyond reproach. to himsel{ at the thought of his uncle‘s face when, returning kome from that holiday, he narrated his experience in the modern Babylon.

Her face was arrestingly beautiful, the features beâ€" ing classical and the sine from ear to chin finely moulded. She was in her prime; he imagined her age to i about twentyâ€"six. A glorious creature! So vivid was the personality of this unexpected caller that he was unable to speak: and it was the woman who In June males and females begin making a mound, sometimes nearly 50 feet in circumference and 3 feet high, in which the eggs are to be deâ€" posited five months later.

She lays every third day, opening and closing the mound each time, until from eight to twentyâ€"three eggs have been deposited.
