cuse for having run away IN the face of the
enemy, and if he had been honestly fond
of his father ne wouldn't have persisted
after the explanation that l gave him. He
admitted that he had no great love for his
mother, who had always been hard upon
him, he said. Hard well, he's dead now,

a passion about him at this time of

old lady who introduced herself TO me
as Mrs. Vernon, thanked me for
coming and explained the state of affairs
to me very quietly and lucidly, though her
voice broke once or twice while she was
speaking. Her husband, il seemed, was an
old man-twenty years older than she
and was in a very precarious state OF
health; he had been soldier himself, ana
had seen active service; he was, naturally,
devoted to ana proud OF his only son.
That was why he had not been told what
all the rest Of the world knew; the doctor
said it would certainly kill him to be told.
Fortunately. his eyesight was so nearly
gone that he had to have the newspapers
read aloud to him, and thus il had been
possible to conceal from him q calamity
which, during several weeks, had been
freely descanted upon by the newspapers.
He had. however, through some momen-
tary inadvertence, been made aware of
my return TO England, ana had ret

"All this was said with queer mixture
of pride and shame and seif-repression

In the banks of our forest trees are

which are developed and grow under
certain favorable conditions. Some
trees possess this property in q re-
markable degree, and often, when the
other parts ore killed down by frost
the property of pushing out these lat
ent buds into growth preserves the life
of the plant. These buds, having once
begun to grow, adhere to the woody
layer at their base, and push out their
points through the bark toward the
