"She can not possibly know anything

"Lord Gaunt!" said Bobby, ohokingly.
"Ile is incapable of it!"
The inspector shrugged his shoulders.
"That's what one so often thinks," he
said. "However, we shall soon see. Our
man will have overtaken him by this
time, I should think."
They had removed the body, but bion,

-and the brandy he had consumed -had

Most people rely on a pump or
water tap as a source of water when
fire breaks out. In the excitement
following an outbreak of fire it fre-
quently is difficult to locate buck-

minutes necessary to fill a bucket

WASPS ARE THRIFTY.
Division of Labor Charly Seen In
Their Operations.
It is declared by those who have
made a careful study of the habits
of wasps that these insects are ful-
ly as industrious as ants or bees.
Division of labor is clearly seen
in the wasps' nest, Some of the
workers, states a writer in The New
York Press, seem to be specially
employed as foragers and soldiers:
others appear to be told off as
nurses and guardians, while yet
others are engaged as paperhang-
ers and masons.
Wasps are at all times particular-
ly fond of honey. Toward the end
of the summer, as all beekeepers
know, they will force their way into
beehives and carry off by force as
much as they can gorge of their
winged neie'hbors' honey.
The drones of the weep world, in-
stead of being idle and luxurious,
are sober, industrious and well-
behaved members of the commun-
ity. They clean the streets of their
town with exemp'ary diligence, act -
i g as public scavengers or sanitary
officers, And they have their re-
ward, for, unlike tho bee drones,
they Iive their allotted life in peace
ard quietness until winter involves
both then and their maiden sisters
in ore common cataclysm of death
and destruction-
