little green insect that clusters by the

growths, an almost motionleSs crowd,
but an active one, nevertheless, injur-
ing the plant and producing thousands
OF new creatures OF the L own kind.
At this time the aphides arc all fe-
males. No males are in existence. The
first brood Matching out i'll the spring
are all females. AS soon rs the leaves
unfold the virgin rears its brood OF
young; thee in turn produce their
spinster offspring. Ana the number of
broods is only limited by the approach
of frost. finally, q ter from eight to
ten broods, males and females appear.
The latter lay fortified eggs. by which
the species is represented during the

GOODNESS Of other members of the

thing very much pleasanter to occupy
her mind.
One day the servant ran to me, and,
to my astonishment, displayed in her
hand the lost diamond.
She had Just discovered it in the
crop of fre turkey she was prepar-
ing for dinner.
You may imagine the triumph
with which presented the recovered
jewel to Aunt Agatha.
"How came the ring where It was
f4und2" was the next question; but
never cared to have it answered. AT
least, | never would if the explana-
ton hadn't come from Jack. 1t seems
one of the boys-there were several
in the house-had picked itup outside
Aunt Agatha's door, where the skirt
of somebody's dress had probably
dragged it, and put it on his hand
for fun while he was playing round
the barn yard with the other chill
dren.
There he had lost it, and was toe
frightened to confess the fact until II
had been found again.
When Jack told me this he looked
very penitent and shamefaced.
"Of course l never thought anyone
had stole the ring" he added.
Didn't you, Jack?" | asked. Il
didn't know but you might have sus.
pected me-
"How dare you speak to me, LizF
said poor Jack, the tears starting to
his eyes.
So then, of course, we had to kiss
and make up, and before | knew what

marry him on the same day that Edith
