"You have •'wesste,1 mg purpose. sir --to nal- a lodging for myself and my dog" Clayton said, as he stepped wain the low a o l:. "I art Ashley Clayton, and my beat le tied up at your water- front, but betai;se of a gas leak and lack of lights it is hardly tenantable to -night." "Ye_, of course." the old man re- sponded abstractedly, and let the way into the house. At the door the dog Bingo hesitated and cast a troubled and appealing glance at his master, but as Clayton went on, the dog fol- lowed, crowding close at his heels. The room to which Clayton was con- ducted was large, and evidently the main room of the house. It seemed a combination of study, laboratory and general living room. At one side there was a worn but comfortable - appearing couch, and there were books everywhere, on rough shelves along the walls, in stacks upon the tables, and in heaps upon the floor. A pass- ing glance at a few of the titles re- funded Clayton of the old -book sale in New York, and then he started, for the battered vc'.tn ne upon the table, upon which his hand had chanced to test, bore the same title as that fat, red vclume for which he and the To- mato Girl had been rival bidders. He picked up the book and turned eagerly to his host. "You have a rare voaume here, sir,' he suggested. "I believe that there ere but three copies known to exist?" .'Yes." the old man nodded, with a llow of satisfaction lighting up his ean face. "That is the only copy in America. There is one in the library of the British Museum, and another in a monastery in Thibet. But, after all it is of little value, unless one had that other knowledge to which it is the key," He broke off abruptly and appeared to be listening intently. "It la time my daughter reached home," he observed, almost speaking to himself. "She paddled down the canal to visit a friend. But it is moon- light—moonlight—bright moonlight. The moon is full to -night Dogs howl when the moon is full. and fools wonder why. Fools. The dogs know—" Suddenly the dog Bingo whined mis- erably, and abruptly the old man broke off his half -muttered speech. •fi red rt he mast With an obviouse o e sort. of eager trembling, that shook his slight frame. He brushed a hand across his brow, and then turned to Clayton with a smile. "Pardon—I was rambling—a bad habit of the old. I believe I have not mentioned my name; it is Casaro. This will he your room to -night, and I think you will find that couch comfortable. I am sorry to offer you nothing better, bat my house is small." "i'll do splendidly, Mr. Casaro," Clayton replied, "and you may be sure I appreciate your taking me in this way" In his heart the young man ques- tioned the truth of his own statement, for ever since he had crossed the .threshold there had been growing amen him a sensation such as he had sever }mown before. It was not fear, which, as in the case of all really brava men, he had met, recognized and roocioered, but an indefinable dread, a vague horror that was draw- ing taut his nerves and causing the Bair upon his body to rise just as did that upon the back of his dog. Had it • not been for hie desire to again meet the Tomato Girl, the thought of whose nearness caused his heart to strangely misbehave, he would undoubtedly have found some excuse for returning to the yacht, gas and mosquitoes not- withstanding. At this moment a light irm;step sounded upon the porch, and Et few •seconds later the Tomato Girl (toed in the room. What is the thing which in its various degrees is called liking, friendship love?

"A gas leak has made the boat un- fit to live on to -night, and your father has kindly permitted me to make my- self his guest," Clayton responded, and was startled at the epression that leaped into the girl's eyes. "You mean—that you will sleep in you must not! Believe me, you must not!" She flashed a quick glance out of the window at the old man, who continued to walk up and down in the moonlight. There was no mistaking her expression—it was stark terror. "But—if there is danger of any kind—you—your father would not per—" Clayton protested in bewild- erment. It was only proof of the per- , feet though unworried understanding between them that he did not for an instant think that he might be un- welcome to the girl. "He isn't really my father, you • know," Virginia said absently, her mind engaged on another thought. am an orphan, and he has been my guardian since I was a little child." Clayton was conscious of a feeling of relief. Though Casaro was unques- tionably a well-bred gentleman, that he was not Virginia's father afforded for some unknown reason a distinct satisfaction. "But what—?" Clayton again be- gan, and the girl returned to the former subject. "I dare not tell you—I am not sure," she whispered. She clasped her hands nervously, and her face grew more pale. "I dare not tell you what I think—believe—but the moon is full to -night, and when he walks in the moonlight, as he is doingnow, some- thing, g , 3 something—" she broke off th n g, g abruptly, and a shiver ran through her frame. "Is this thing of which you speak a menace to you also?" Clayton asked quietly, and the girl responded: "I do not know—it has never herrn- ed me—but you—oh, my dear, if harm should come to you." With cheeks drained white she stared at him and pressed one hand convulsively against her heart, "I am not sure, but— but—" (Concluded in next issue.) My Creed.

Although for years house-cleaning has been a bugbear., it is no longer a thing to be dreaded. I have found that house-cleaning becomes as easy as any other household task if it is done systematically- I clean ane room at a time, and do not upset, my entire house at one time.

Bears Like Water. There is nothing that the American bears like mare than a good bath, in their native forest life and when confined In a cage. Tho Alaskan brown bears are especially fond of it, and as a result you will notice them taking a dip in their big concrete tube several times during each day. The entire bear family appears t0 like an occasional bath, especially during hot weather, but the American beare get the most enjoyment out of it, It is amusing to watch a big grizzly get In- to its tub and begin to snort with satisfaction. After puMng and blowing for some time it will climb out and proceed to towel itself in the sun. Use Mud for Soap. Elephants are about the only beasts that have been observed to employ water for the deliberate purpose or washing. Hunters have seen mother elephants daub their young with mud and then spray it off with a trunkful of water, much as if they were using tate mud for soap. The hippopotamus makes its home almost entirely in the water. 00 it cannot be said that it in- dulges in bathing for the cleansing that it will get. On the contrary, It generally delights in shallow, swampy places in which it dan wallow. Most at the hairless animals delight to wal- low, some of them almost living in a mud bath during certain seasons of tho year. The rhinoceros le one of these, the mud often caring on }tins so hard that water will scarcely dissolve It after it has been baked In the tropi- oal anti, Tho Asiatic and Afrk ofao buffaloes are also quite fond wallowing In the mud underneath shallow water, -with only their noses sticking above the surface, In Asia they are a favor- ite beast of burden when domesticated and one of their renal tricks when net. 1 tin to work i to hide under the wan s g water beneath an overhanging tree while their masters call for them hl vain.

The out' actual elea•nsing they get }s when they swine from place to place, '191e oat„ mouse, and their respective relatives, are adepts at washing their faces anal paws, especially after eating, while raccoons are equally cleanly in their habits.
