brought a scarlet flush to the

called: “Mr. Warrington Dangerfeld

Nooth-Shaksperian sweep of the hand
followed him into the private office.
A sllence fell on the crowd, broken
at last by a low, deep whistle from

and Billie grabbed him by the arm,
saying: “Say, kid, how long is Booth

“Aw, not long,’ the boy replied.

The conversation stopped abruptly
as Mr. Dangerfeld appeared In the

swung majestically ta the door, then
as if recollecting the presence of Bil

Therefore the Dessoug was ily

The lieutenant took the precaution
to write to the governor of Gibraltar,
the only port at which he intended to
stop, stating the exact facts, and ask-
ing that he direct the officer who
came aboard to make a very super-
ficial examination.
Just before leaving Alexandria the
name of the boat—Dessoug—was
painted on the quarters and on the
bows in letters a yard high. This
was in order to enable the identity
to be fixed by any vessel which med-
ftated firing a shot across its bows.
Arriving at Gibraltar, Lieutenant
Gorringe called upon the governor

governor comprehended the absurdity

The Snail's Legal Situs,
The French Minister of Agricul-

the subject, kag established “the le-
gal status of the snail” by issuing a
circular in which snails are defined
as animals injurious to vegetation,
ture and destruction at all times and
all seasons. This
created excitement and dismay among
the numerous persons who earn a
livelihood by collecting snails for
market. Snalls are in high favor
in Paris,
consumption of snails in the French

consumption has since diminished,
