The bright store Is the "hypnotic eye" of business. People can no more resist the attraction ol a brilliant, lilectricully lighted store than they can resist the clarion call of a brass hand.

"It was Just n preliminary lnvcfitlgn Hon," ho replied. "liM'eNtlgatlon of whnt? I wish you wouldn't he upMuttlng tho girl with your niyiilerlouH netloiiN.

It took him all that time to Hindi rM ami white nnd keep from yelling out at her. When ho had final ly got u hold with Ida toed 011 tho lloor ho replied: "If you want to know want I was out there- for I can tell you. There were kouiu gentlemen belonging to tb NaluralUt eluli In tho oilloo today, nud tho ipievtlon eaimi up iih to how crick eu puKed tho winter.

I am now going .i take a little walk and may not le hack for nu hour or two." "Very well," replied Mr. Howser In resigned tunes, realizing that any ob jection wore- uselosa. Mr. Howuer put on ht fall overcoat nnd hat and took up hi cane nnd left the house. As soon a ho got outsld tho gate ho tried to look like n until rallst who wn on the eve of a grwt Slseovery, but ho didn't make much of t success nt It.

Heard a Cricket. Mr. HowBcr walked on for half a mile nnd then reached the suburbs. lie had 110 sooner struck vacant prop erty than tho voice of n cricket reach ed him. It was n plnlutlvo voice. It seemed to say that tho watermelon season was ovor, tnlnco plos had bo come tho fashion again nnd that tho world had no longer any use for crick eta. Matches In plenty had been brought along, and the nmatcur nat urallst wan soon down on his knees and Hashing the light over the grass. After Ave inlnutca ho eamo fuce to face with a cricket. It wns nn old shell back, who hnd been hopping about nnd singing all summer and now had a tired and dusty look. Ho even looked Into Mr. Bowser's eyes with what seemed to be nn appeal, He didn't wnnt money, but ho certnlnty had cold feet and wns thinking of feather bod, Ho hadn't burrowed and he hadn't frozen to death, and the discovery didn't solve tho problem. The Insect had Just taken a stiff hoppctytchop when a gruff volco at Mr. Howscr'B elbow demanded: "Now, then, whnt sort of n rnckct Is this? Whnt havo you tost here on my Iota thnt you aro lighting tnntches to see by?" "My friend, I nm looking for crick ets." replied Mr. Ilowscr ns he rose up. "W-hn-tl" "Looking for crickets, I nnld." "Then you'd bettor havo tho keeper of nn Idiot nsylum looking for youl Whnt In tho dovll do you wnnt of crickets?" "l)o you know whether cricket bur row In the earth at this tlmo of year or simply die of tho cold?" "Do I know? Do I know?" shouted the man na he begun to swing hi nrniH nbout. "You must think I'm n lunatic to nak me such a question ns that. I'm tho owner of that saloon up there, nnd I havo no time to bo around bug hunting. Hy whnt right do you couio on my property without Haying n word to mo?" "Why, If you aro so mighty partial lur nbout It" "Well, I nm thnt, and you got off, Vou may bo hunting for crickets, nnd you may bo hunting for geese, nnd you can t go too soon to please me." Mr. Howser went lie renlliod that a row In tho neighborhood would dlo turb till tho crickets for a mtlo around. lie continued his walk for half a tnllo nnd then turned aside from the strcot ngaln. There was uo saloon In sight, and tho nearest house was forty rods nwny, He now caught thu voices of at least six crlckots, and he paused to In terprct them. A uenr as lie could mnku out, half of them wanted hot beef ten and wooleu blankets, and tho other hnlf wnuted to borrow spade nud plcknxes to do their burrowing with. Ilu got dowu nnd lighted more mutches, nud bo was carefully paw lug over tho cold ami brittle grans when ho heard n horao coming on a gallop. He hnd hardly straightened himself up when a mounted policeman halted twsldo him nnd asked: "Who are you and whnt aro you do ing hero?" My nnnie's Ilowscr, nml I was look ing for crickets." "Don't try to guy me, old man. I wasn't liorn yesterday." "I'erlinpa you uover hoard of a crick et for nil Hint." Arreeted by Policeman. "Oh, yo, I havo. I know a cricket from nn old vng the minute I set eyes on him. Vou are coining along with 1110. You are one of tho fellers thnt kept tho crime wave going last sum mer." Mr. Ilowsvr fell back on hi dignity. No go. Then bo tried bluff. Woro yet. Then lie accompauled tho otllcer back to the saloon and Identified him self and Ntnted his object In such n milliner thnt thu cop wna Anally con- strained to uny: "Well, I wouldn't have believed there wns a man fool enough to go bunting cricket at night, but perhaps you are all right except being a little cracked In tho head. I'll see you homo, and If your wife him good scruo she'll keep you off the streets o' night after this." "Aye, she'll havo to," Added tho sa- loouUt. "I'm sure tho old cock was after my flock of geese, no matter whnt ho says, nud If he come again HI Jump bltu seven feet high with a charge of buckshot." Mr, Howser wanted to go home alone, but tho otllcer was taking no chances. lie accompauled htm clear to the gate. ndvUlug arid warning him all the way, and he sat hi bono until tho door ocnod and closed again. "Well," nnld Mm. Howsor n she looked up from bcr book, "have you found out whether crickets burrow or freeze?"
