“HANG ON” FOR MANY YEARS

Scientists Know That Jellyfish Live Long, but “What Do They Get Out of It?” In a recent lecture to children at the Royal institution, London, Prof-. D’Arcy W. Thompson told of a Jelly-' fish known as Granny that was rescued by Sir John Graham Daiyell and kept alive in sea water. Granny.' according to Prof. Thompson, was carefully tended bv Sir John and fed regularly one-hmf mussel a fortnight. She throve Exceedingly under this kind attention. Six hundred of her offspring were known. On the death of Sir John she passed to the care of an arctic explorer and was bequeathed by him to another scientific man? Granny outlived four protectors ahd died .at last, Oct. 11. 1887, at the aifthentic age of 67 yea’rs, because of the neglect or ill-treatment of.a botanist. Prof. Thompson did not say so, but he left it to be assumed that had the neglectful botanist been as careful and attentive as was Sir * John Daiyell Granny might yet be alive, says the New York Tribune, in which’ case she would be po less, than 98 years old, and assuming that site was at least two when Sir John found her; which seems probable; she would be well

Little Trinket of Tin

By R. RAY BAKER

LCopyrixbt. ISIS, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)

Equipped with SIOO and a horseshoe Clarence* Archibald Creston Kennelworth was set adrift amid the cold currents of success seekers. ~ The capital with which he was expected to wrest wealth from the world was the gift oUhls father. The token of luck was from the girl he expected some time to marry. The words accompanying the bank notes ran something like this: “I gave you the chance to work in these steel mills and climb the ladder on the rungs of experience. That’s the way I did it, and you could have done as well. Of course I’m only president of the company, but that is not so bad whbn you consider I hadvno education. But you insisted on course at the .university, and now yon have it. Here’s a hundred pash. Harness it to your learning a rut try to make good at something. If V6u fail, just eoine back and own up to; it, arid I’ll give you the .same jbb' you equid have had four years ago—without tl\e college course.” The horsesboje canfe into Clarence’s possession that niglitt when-he called on Magdeline Osborne to tell her their wedding would have to lie . postponed “another humred years,” because his father had refused to make him a manager in the mills, .and trow he would have to learn tojdo Something, and then do it until he had enough money to. finance a voyage on the matrimonial sea. ' “I thought you learned how to do things at college,” Magdeline observed tn sympathetic tones. y ■ “That's where you thought wrong. The only things I learned in college were football and. baseball. To he frank, Mag, the Only way I ever passed my examinations was with the assistance of my master partner —luck. In fact, 1 just bluffed my way through, studying very little. I’ve always been a good bluffer, and had my share of luck, but-'-you can’t bluff father.” ' Magdeline smiled with the dawn of an idea, excused herself and left the room, returning with a horseshoe about the size of a half-dollar. ’ “It’s not silver,” she assured him, “although it Hoes have a good smne. It’s just tin, but. tlje little trinket has been In our family for many generations and has always brought luck to the possessor. I want you to wear it, and it will help your usual luck and bluff to make good.” Clarence attached the token to his watchchain, and somehow it seemed to give him confidence. “I’ll make good at something,” he promised as he took his leave, “Until I get a good start, though, you’ll not from me.” . Clarence did not deserve the calumnious chain of names that fettered him. Ancestors on his mother’s branches of the family tree were to blame. If he had been blessed with names befitting his appearance, and personality, they would have been something like John Sam Hank Brown. As it was, his friends had taken his initials and coined “Cack” for his nickname. He.was a healthy specimen of twen-ty-three. with six feet of height and a generous girth. While not exactly handsome, he was attractive, with twinkling blue eyes, a mouthful of shiny teeth, a mop’of light brown hair that looked rusty, and a Roman nose, which, although larger than necessary, never got in the way. He was not cyirpulent by any means, but was chunky, and walked with a rolling gait that would, mark him for a sailor, although he had never seen an ocean. Before' huntings a job “Cack” felt it necessary to eat, sohe hunted a res-_ taurant and. seating himself at a table, picked up a newspaper. count of a murder drew his attention* “The detectives still are looking for clews,” he read. A cough at his shoulder apprised'him of ill e presence of a waiter. “By George!”* he exclaimed mentally, “I’m going to he a detective.” “Bring me sqmb hash,7 he told the waiter. 11. ' On the ninth floor of a nine-story building Detective Cack waited for clients. His office rent came cheap because he was willing to trust himself in room 'l3. • ' ’ Kennelworth’s detective agency was advertised in both the local papers, but at the beginning of the agency’s second week of existence these advertisements had done no more than flatten the firm’s pocketbook. Numerous incidentals of expense, including a license to “detect,” had eaten the hundred. and Cl,arence was worrying about his next meal. „ , Across the strpet two men on a scaffold were painting a; smoked ham on the brick wall of a building. Clarence watched with wistful eyes, puffing viciously on his pipe. “I can’t stand it.” he finally decided, and pulled the shade oyer the' window, shutting the ham from view. “I’ll have to give it up and call on father.” He reached for the telephone, inn before he could lift* the receiver the bell rang. It startled Jiim and he sat for half a minute as though dazed, then cautiously “Hello. This is Clar— Kennelworth’s detective agency.” “This is George Dillingham?’ said a harsh voice. “Rush a detective out Io

my summer residence —460 Clifford avenue. Sometbody lifted SIO,OOO from the safe. < Detective pack gulped hard, then gasped; ' , , “I’ll be right—l’ll send my best man right out.” He returned the receiver to its resting place, bounced to his feet, snatched his hat from the wall, raised the window blind and gazed gloatingly at the hain for a second, then ran all the way down the eight flights of stairs to the street, and hailed a trolley car. "I’m -engaging a private detective against the advice of my son-in-law,” announced Mr. Dillingham, pulling at his white goatee, spreading his short legs far apart and glaring fiercely through powerful-lehsed spectacles. “Better have kept the wFlole thing quiet,” snorted the son-in-law, biting viciously into a cigar. He was of about Clarence’s own age, and with a quick, nervous manner. His face appeared never without a sneer, for his features were built that way. He lighted the cigar. “What’s a mere $lO,000 to raise a rumpus about?” “Ten thousand’s ten observed the practical Mr. Dillingham. The son-in-law shrugged his shoulders and left the library. Mr. Dillingham' approached the criminal apprehender, who was examining the dial on the safe. “I’m against detectives myself” confided the head of the house, “but I’ve got to show Mr. Petty —that’s my,, son-in-law —he’s not running things. However. you got to work on my ter msfive hundred dollars if you catch the robber, and nothing if you fail.” Clarence’s heart slid into his shoes and a smoked ham he had been visioning did a movie fadeout. However, he stretched Jiimself to his still six fpet and glared haughtily at his prospective “customer.” “Those are always my terms,” he said, with dignity, and added : “I have never failed on a case.” > Mr. Dillingham related what he knew of the robbery. While discussing a business deal with his son-in-law, ’'which necessitated opening the safe to examine some papers, he had been called from the library. Mr. Petty’s call of “Help! Stop tjiief!” had brought him back on the run, he found the son-in-law lying on the floor, his coat partly torn off. pointing to the' window and groaning: “He went through'the window.’’; Glancing out the aperture in question, Mr. Dillingham had seen no one. An examination of the safe had closed that SIO,OOO was missing. “Have you a clew?” he asked Clarence, concluding his story. Detective Cack smiled enigmatically. “Call the servants,” he directed. One or all of the servants might have been guilty, Clarence Archibald Creston Kenelworth would not have suspected it, after the straightforward stories they told. He was honest himself and had not yet learned to distrust others. 111. Telling Mr. Dillingiam he was following ft clew, Clarence left the house, outwardly confident, blit inwardly dejected. “I’m no good,” he confided to himself, as he trudged down the lane leading from the Dillingham domicile. The sun had just sunk beneath the earth’s rim, and the lane was gray with gathering darkness except for a few vagrant rays of twilight that sifted through the interlacing boughs above. “I can see myself crawling back to father—ror starving,” said Detective Cack, filling his pipe. close to big tree, and opened his metal matchbox, but it was empty. Clicking it shut in disgust, his hand came in contact with the tin horseshoe on his watchchain. A shaft of light struck the trinket and was reflected against the tree. “Don’t shoot,” pleaded a trembling voice behind the tree. “I give up.” The form of a man, cringing and trembling slunk forth. Clarence drew out his electric flash and let loose a flood' of light. Before him stood Mr. Petty, a^-traveling bag ill his hand. “The ten thousand’s in the bag,” he said. “I was trying to beat it. but I saw you coming and dodged behind the tree. When I heard you cock that gun. and saw the light reflect from the barrel,-1 decided 4t was time to quit.” Half an hour later Detective Archibald Creston Kennelworth, with SSOO in his pocket, was regaling himself with smoked harp. Another half-hour passed before he was ringing the doorbell at the home of Magdeline Osborne. O'

Popularizing American Sports.

Among all the articles of American exports to the far East none is more typically American or of' greater importance in favorably affecting the influence of the United States in the Orient than the American playground, according to John W, Wood, foreign Secretary of the Episcopal board of missions, who is just back from nine months’ tour of Qhina, Japan and the Philippines. "Exporting the American playground,” is aline in winch the board jaf missions/ has been, engaged for about twenty 'Jrears, and Mr. Wood announces that the venture is now beginning to pay big human dividends —that is to say, the Celestials and. the Filipinos, and particularly the girls pf the latter race, are rapidly learning tn “burn the pill over,’ 1 "cut the corners of the plate” and. “murder; the Ball.” x
