No cause for theTsuleide Is known. Gray Eyes for Fight. From "I always feel a bit nervous," remarked a sergeant of police, "when I have to arrest a man with gray eyes, for I know that be la a born fighter, and that I am likely to nave a tough job. "Most men, when they are fighting, retain a. certain amount of discretion, and remember that a brutal assault on the police Is a very serious offense.

But the man with the gray eyes, though he may in his calmer moments be quite aware of. the folly of resistance, forgets all about that when his blood Is up. He thinks of only one thing, and that IB to win the fight. "It Isn't among criminals only that the gray eye denotes the fighter. I have observed same thing among professional pugilists, an enormojus proportion of whom have gray eyes.

"With soldiers and Bailors it is just the same. Many of our foremost generals and admirals have eyes of this color. It is the more remarkable when we remember that the number of people who have grsy eyes Is small compared with other shades "The moral is that when you are deal- Ing with a gray-eyed man you should be cautious In provoking him."
