Did she want to see Trehorn alone?
Certainly she wished to thank him for
all he had done for her, and she want-

she could have asked in the presence

Tlie detective smiled. "Our good
landlord has been talking," he said
drily.
"Yes, but there's no secret about
your business, is there?"
"None at all, sir. Everyone in the
place knows who I am and why I em
here."
They chatted together for twenty
minutes, and then Ditton suggested
that they should go upstairs, ''I have

said, "and a nice fire. We'll take the

The Stupidest Beast in
Africa.
> The rhinoceros is the stupidest old
fellow In all Africa, according to Carl
Akeley, the distinguished naturalist
and chief' taxidermist of the American
Museum of Natural History. In his
autobiography, "In Brightest Africa,"
Mr, Akeley tells how he discovered,
quite by accident, that a rhino's
charge is net necessarily fatal.
"I was going along the bank of the
Tana River one day with my camera,"
he says. "Suddenly I was set all a-
quiver by the threshings and snortings
of a Amino coming through the bushes
in my direction. There was nothing
to climb. Between me and the thicket
from which the rhino- was coming was
about twenty-five feet of open slice.
Behind me was a 30 -foot drop to the
crocodile -infested waters of the Tana.
The only hope I saw was a bush over-
hanging the brink which looked as if
it alight' or mniglit not boli! me if I
swung out on it.
"I decided to try the bush and let
the rhino land in the river, trusting
to luck that. I wouldn't join him there:
The bushes were thrust aside and he

had both its sitting -rooms oil the first
floor. The kitchen and the hall and
the servants' bedrooms were on the
ground floor, which lay below the top
of the sea wall. Only by this arrange-
ment could one obtain a view of the
sea from the rooms occupied by the
owners. Froin the broad balcony a
little wooden bridge crossed the gulf
between the house and the wall. At
either end there was a little wooden
gate.
"Burglars," Sir Alexander had once
said, "could wish for nothing better."
Ruth stood by the railing of time bal-
cony and, resting her hands upon it,
looked out across the sea. The cold
wind of the last few days had died:
away and the water was as smooth as'
the surface of a' pond. A faint haze
that lay over the land and sea seemed
to intensify the calm serenity of the
world. And, looking on this scene,
Ruth herself grew calm. The quiet-
ness gave her confidence, and she was
no longer afraid.
A few minutes later she went back
into the dining -room and wrote a let-
ter to Dr. Trehorn—less cautious per-
Iope than the one she had received
from himn,
"Dear Dr. Trehorn," she wrote, "if
you are in the neighborhood by all
means come in and have tea with us.
I'm afraid I shall be alone, but I real-
ly do want to Cee you, ---Yours sin-
cerely,
"Ruth Bradney.
"P.S.—P1eage come. I have so mach
to say to you."
Ruth placed this letter in an en-
velope, gemmed down the flap, and
es went out bareheaded to the little post

Men Who Must Wear

It Is one of the Icing's regulations
that a ;Beefeater must wear a beard.
This beard is required only on State
occasions, but all members of the Yeo-

the Adjutant at St. James's Palace for
beard inspection at certain regular in-
tervals.

and it was their duty to taste and cook

to make the King's bed.
The "Yeomen Bedhangers" stuffed
the mattress and arranged the cur

rolled on the bed to gee that it was
well made. The letters Y.B.I'I• and
Y.13.G. are still affixed to certain
names on the roll.
Since their institution in the reign
of Henry VII. the costume of the. Beef-
eaters has varied very little, and the
large ruff round the neck still forms a
very important part of it. •
It Is time wish of the King that the
Yeomen of the Guard should be'repre-

one very often encounters bad winds

an agreeable sport. For the most part
I flew at an average of 6,000 feet. An
almost even temperature is maintain-
