CHAPTER XTIF. ttANTALIZING, VERY. They looked at one another again With a wild surmise. Tho voice was as tho voice of some long past ago. Could the parrot bo speaking to them in the words of sevouteonth-century English? liven M. Peyron, who tt first ha 1 receive 1 tho strango (lis.-oyerv with incredulity, woko up before long to the importance of tbis sudden and unexpected revelation. The Tu-Kihi-Kila who had taught Methuselah that long poem or sermon, which native tradit!on regarded as containing 1 ho central secret of their creed or its mysteries, and which the cruol and cunning Tu-Kila-Kila of to-day believed to be of immense importance to his safety tnat lu-luia-KUH of other days was, in all probability, no other than an English sailor. Oast on these shores. perhaps, as they themselves had been. ny tne mercv of tho waves. ho had managed to mast r tho lansrnage and religion of tho savages nmohjr whom he found himself thrown: ho had risen to be the representative of the cannibal tfod; and, during long months or years of tedious exile, he had beguiled his leisure bv iranartinsr to the uncon scious ears of a bird the weird secret of his success, for the benefit of any others of his own race who might be similarly treated bv fortune in future. O . , A . ?1 1 3 airanKo ana romantic as liaiisounaea, i they could hardly doubt now this was tne real explanation of tlio bird's command of English woi-as. One problem alone remained to disturb their souls. ; Was the bird reallv in possession of : any local secret and mystery at all. or was this the wholo burden of the mes-: sage he bod brought down across tho i vast aDyse or time - "i,od savo tho kin?, and to hell with all nuii-sts" Felix turned to M. Peyron in a perfeet tumult o.'stispenso. "What he re - cites is Ions'?" he said, interrogative! v. with profound interest. "Von have heard him sav much more than this at times? The words ho has just uttered are not those of tho sermon or poem you mentioned':1" Mr. .Perron opened his hands oxpansively before him. ''Oh, mon Dicu, no. monsieur.' ho answered, with ef fusion. "You should hear him re ito it He's never done. It is whole ; h:i-ters-whole cha; lei-s: a perfect Ilotiriade in parrot-talk. When once ho begins, there's no possibility of checking or stopping him. On. on ho goes. Farewell to tho rest; he insists on pouring it all forth to the very last sentence. Gabble, gabble, gabble; chatter, chatter, chatter: pouf, pout, pouf; bourn, bourn, boun: he inns ahead eternally in one long discordant sing-song monotone. The person who taught him must have taken entire months tp teach him, a phi-use at a time, paragraph by rarasraph. It is wonderful bird's memory could hold so much. But till now, taking it for granted ho SDokoouly so ne wild South Pacific dialect, 1 never paid much attention to Methuselah's vagaries." "Hush. He's going tos;ieak," .Muriol cried, holding up, in alarm, o:io warning finger. And the bird, his tongue-strings evidently loosened by the strange recurrence aftor so many years of thoso familliar Knsriish sounds). ilPrettv Poll! Pretty Poll:" opened his moulh again Jl , 3 V," .

The rrenchman st arted. "po jue Louis Ouator.:o!'' ho murmured, trans-I latmg the date mo.itally into his own chronology. , "jwo centuries smco! ; lah is old, but not quite so much of a patriarch as that. Kvea Humbo'dt's parrot could hardly have lived .00 years in the wilds of South America." Fel'x regarded the venerable creature with a look of ahrost superstitious awe. "Facts are facts." he answered shortly, shutting his mouth with a littin snap. "Unless this bird has boon deliberately taught historical dcta'ls in an archaic diction -and a shipwrecked sailor is hardly likely to bo untiquarian enough to conceive such an idea-ho is undoubtedly a survival from tho days of the Commonwealth or the Restoration. And yo i say he runs on with his ta'e for an hou ut a time! Good Heavens, what a thought! I wish wo could ma age to start him now. Does he begin it oft n '"Monsieur. tho Frenchman answered, "when I came here first, though Metliuselah was already very old and tecble, he was not quite a dotard, and he used to recite it all every morning regularly. That was tho ho ir, 1 suppose, at which the master, who first taught him this lengthy ree -tition, used originally to impress it upon him. In those days his sight mid memory were far more clear than now. But by degrees, since my arrival, he has grown dull and stupid. The natives tell me that fifty years ago, while ho was already old, ho was still bright and lively, and would recite tne wholo poem whenever anyjoly prcs"uted him with his greatest daiii:y, the claw of a moora-crab. Nowadays, however, when he can hardly oat, "and hardly mumble, he is much less persistent and less coherent than formerly. To say tho truth, l have discouraged him in his efforts, because his pertinacity annoyed me. So now ho seldom gots through all his lesson at ono bout, as he used to do at the beginning. The best way to get him ou is for mo to sing one of my French songs. That scorns toexcitohim.ortorou.se him to riv alry. Then he will put Ms head on ono side, listen critically for a while, smilo a superior smile, ami finally beginjabber, jabber, jabber trying to talk me down, as if I were a brother parrot." "Oh, do sing now!" Muriel cried. with intense persuasion in her voice. "I do so want to hear it.-' She meant of course, tho parrot's story. uut tne r rencnriiau bowed, and lain his hand on his heart.

Muriel didn't dare to undeceive him as to her meaning, lest ho should refuse to sing in real ea rnest, and tho ! chance of learning the parrot's secret might slip by them irrotrcvably. "Oh, monsieur,"he cried fitting herscli to his humor at onco. ar.d speaidhg as ceremoniously as if she were assisting at a musical party in tho avenue v le tor Hugo, "don't dcelir.o, I beg of you, i uii tuose uccounis. vvo are notn most, anxious to hear your song.

"siing again, for Hosvon's sake " Felix exclaimed, in a p.-ofo mdly agitatod mood, explaining briefly to the Frenchman the full significance of tho words' Methuselah had just begun to utter. The Frenchman struck up his tune afresh to give tho bird a start; but all to no avail. Methuselah was evidently in no humor for talking just then. Ho listened with a callous, uncritical air, bringing his white eyelids down slowly and sleepily over his bleared pray evos. Thon he nodded his head idowlv. "No use," the Frenchman murmured, pursing his lips up gravely. "The bird won't talk. It's going oh to sleep now. Methuselah gets visibly older every day, monsieur and maaemoisol'e. You aro only just in time to catch his Ja-t accents." CUAlTlvIi XXIII. A MESSAGE FROM THE DEAD. Early next morning, as Felix lay still in his hut, dozing, and just vaguely conscious of a buzz of a mosquito closeto his ear, l.o was aroused by a sadden uatlv namo three times, running: "Oh King of the Hain, Km i King of the Rain. Kinjr of the Rain, King of tho Rain, awake! High time to be up: 1 he lung of the liirds sends you health and creeling." ionx rose ut once; and his shadow, risin!f before him, and v.iiDolting tho loose wooden fastener oftho door, went out j,, haste to see who called bevond tho wh5to taboo-lino of their sacrod procincts. a ...,7.. handsome, stood there iu tho full light o raorning, beckoning. A strange gion- ot natroti gleamed in her largo gray eyes. Her shapely brown bosom heaved and panted heavily. Pig beads glistened moistly on her smooth, high brow. It was cle ir she had run all tho way in haste. She was deeply excited and full of eager anxiety. "Why. what do yon want" here so early, Liar" tho .Shadow asked, in surprise for it was indeed she. "How have you slipped away, as soon as tho sun is risen, Iroiu the sacred hut ot Tu-Kiln-Kila?" "Ula's gray oyos flashed angry liro as she answered. "He lias beaten me again," sho cried, in revengeful tones: "see the weals on mv back! Sec my arms and my shoulders. He has dr. wu blood from my wounds. Ho is the most hateful of gods. I should love to kill him. The re .'ore I slipped away :YOn hiin with the early dawn and came to eonselt with his enemy, tho King of tho Birds, because 1 he id the words that tho Kycs of Tu-Kiia-Kila, who pervade the world, report to their master.

When I hear! that 1 was gtaul; I went to the King of the P.irds to warn him of his danger: and tho Kings of the Birds, concerned for your safety, has sent me in haste to ask" his brother gods to go at oney to him. in a minute Folix was up and bad called out Mali from the neighboring hut. "Tell Missy Oueenio," ho cried, "to con e with me to-soe the hian-a-oui-oui! Tho niau-a-oui-oui has sent ine for us to come. .She must make great haste. Ho wants us immediately." With a word and a sign to Toko t'la glided away stealthily, wi-h tho catlike tread of the native Polynesian wom-.'n, back to her hated husband. Felix wont oat to tho door anJ heliographod with his bright metal plate, turned on tho Frenchman's hill, "What is It?" In a moment tho answer flushed baek word, ' (.'onio quick, if you want to hear, Methuselah is reciting!" A fow seconds later Muriol emerged from her hut, and tho two Kuropcuns, closely followed, as always, by their inseparable Shadows, took the winding side-path that, led through tho jungle by a devious way, avoiding tho front of Tu-Kila-Kila's "temple, to tho Frenchman's cottage. They found M. Peyron vary much excited hy Ilia's news of Tu-Kila-Kila's altitude, but moro still by Methuselah's agitated condition "Tho wholo night through, my defii- friends," ho criod. seizing their hands, "that bird has boon chattering.

Then he threw back his head with a sort of mechanical twist, ainkscreamed out at the top ol his voice, for tho last timo on earth, his niyterious message: "Pretty Poll! Pretty Poll!

"Here," f-aid the scientist, wiping his knife on his scaly apron, ''is a pickotvi that was taken from tho water three weeks ago, on ono of the coldest days that we have had this winter, it was taken from the hook and thrown uHn the i -e.

Now Zealand has not only granted womun-sulTraee in parliamentary olo.:tions. but one of its leading statesmen tho tirand Old Man of that colonyhas actually proposed the establishment of a legislative council consisting exclusively of women. Tho following amusing incident, bearing upon tho growing political rights and power of New Zealund ladies, and their corresponding duties, occurred tho other dav in its capital city. Durinir a performance in tho Opera Houss. Wellington, some ladies who were seated in tho stalls bad on vory large and high hats. A voice fi om tho pit was heard to exclaim, "Now you've got tho franchise you ought to take yo'ir hats oil." This admonition to the gentle voters caused an explosion of laughter in all parts of the theater. A I.iltlo Musician. Only ,S years old, Edna Grace ffain, with her tiny fingers can bring thirty different airs out of a piano. She has learned them '1 in tho last seven months. If a key invisible to her Do struck she can instantly sound tho corresponding key of another piano. Let the entire keyboard be covered with niuslihor cloth, not too heavy tomuTo, and she still makes good music by strikine- keys which sho cannot see. Her first stroke on tho unseen ivory may be a mistake, but in a moment sbo hits the right key and then proceeds unerringly. She cannot read music or won. s. "but thoroughly understands the scale, quickly distinguishes halfnotes, and keeps good timo. If sho hears a strange air two or three times site can make her piano reproduce it. Philadelphia Record. Dog's Wonderful Smell. It has often been proved that dogs uro able to track their masters through crowded streets where it would be impossible to attributo their accuracy to anything except the sonso of smell u'.oue. A naturalist once made some interesting experiments as to this power as exhibited in his own dog. in these tests tho naturalist found that his dumb friend could follow in tho tracks of his master, though he was far out ol sight, and that, too. afteiMio 1. ss than eleven persons had followed, stopping exactly in the tracks made hy his master, it being the deliberate intention to confuse the senses of the dog is possible. Further experiments proved that the animal tracked the boots instead of the man. for when tho naturalist put on new footgear the dog failed ent'rely. Steam from Slag. The enormous amount of heat habitually wasted in cooling molten sl.:g has incited an Australian to work out a scheme for generating steam by this means. The boiler or receptacle lor the water has running through it from op to bottom fuiinel-shapod pipes, something a ter tbe stylo of a candlemold. The molten slag is poured into these receptacles aud eommnuieates its heat to the water. When the slag becomes solid a door at tho bottom of each roceptaelo is oponed, the slag is knocked out, und tho whole tilled atrain. The apparatus has been tried an t I0U pounds pressure of steam raised. If tho ideas of tho inventor be thoroughly carried out tho value of the procoss will be enormous. Tobacco Culture. Tobacco culture is tho subject of a recent report of the Florida station. The bulletin contains complete directions, beginning with the preparation of the seedbed, the application of fertilisers, time and manner of sowing tho seed, the kind and quality re ,uircd, tho enemies of the tobacco plant, und tho remedies to bo applied, etc. Tho aim of the bulletin is to encourage tho growing of tobacco crops in Florida by supplying tho necessary information to tho inexperienced erower.

New Mothoil of Staking Car Whatils. An unusual method of making wheels for cars has recently been brought be 'ore railroad men, Wherever" It is desired to havo reliable wheels steel tires aro almost universally used, with paper, wrought or cast iron centers. Cast iron centers aro the cheapest form of uny an regards l!rst cost, but it is rather difficult to ;'orm a good (onnectiou between tho tiro ar.d the center. In the new met hod of manu acture a stocic of tiros is made up complete. Tho molds for the center of Cue wheel aro then cut up. leaving a spa- e for placing the tire iti the mold so as to form a part of it. The mold is next ox;nod and :he tire, heated to a red heat, is placed in position. The mold is then closed and tho molten metal for the center poured in. The result is said to bo a practically perfect union of thestoel and c ast iron, forming a solid wheel which has tho advantage of a durable steel rim and a eho tp body. Ills Itpgrot. The two tramps had been wandering about from back-door to back-door In a useiess search for a bite, as almost every place they visited was closed for the summer. "Anvlioiv at home?" inquired Wiliie. wa ting in tho alley till his friend came out. 'N'avv," was the disappointed response. "Whore are they?" 'Ciono to Iho World's Fair." Willie siclied. "'Irothcr Walker," ho said sadly, "when 1 think how this World's Fair is ruining our business, I almost wish Columbus.hadn't discovered America." -Free Press. iirman Thrift. The Germans are learning the lesson that thrift requires saving in small things. There tho steel pons thrown away in schools and offices are conscientiously gathered, melted up, and made over into knife-blades, watch springs, and othor articles ot value. The Americans havo possessed such an abundance of natural resources that j they have been apt to despise the I small economies of lite. Many a man j would be much richer than he now is, : if ho had begun early in life to reflect ' that it takes only twenty nickels to make a dollar. Kochesterllerala. Avoldine Fain and Peril.

A pet canary bird in Fair Haven, Washington, has always had an aversion to his natural dress, and has iidustriorsly pulled out every feather he could reach. The result is he has now a smooth, shiny skin, which looks like polished parchment, two or threo lonely tail feathers and a trifle of plumage on tho head ana neck. In summer lie is all right, but the cold of winter bothers him. As soon as frost comes he is clad in a warm llatinel jacket, which he admires immensely." At night he lies down on a bod of cotton batting, submits quiet'y to be covered up, and sleeps there contentedly till morning. I A Now Arrangement. St. Pit'L. Minn.. Ami. SO.
