How They Vary Their Food to Suit
Changed Conditions.
An impression prevails that insects
and other creatures are so correlated
with their food that they can scarcely
exist unless the special food seemingly
essential to them is ready to hand, says
Meehan's Monthly. This is believed
true not only of food but of their habits
in general. The yucca and the yucca
moth are so closely CONNECTED that It
does seem as If each is absolutely de-
pendent on the other-and one might
we'll ask. What would the chimney
swallow do without chimneys in which
to build its nest or cherry or peach
tree gum with which to build them?
But just as the vegetarian would have
to abandon his principles where there
was nothing in the icy region but musk
oxen and walrus to feed on-so animal
nature generally has the instinct OF
preservation to take to that which first
comes to hand when favorite resources
fail. The chimney swallow built its
nest somewhere before the white man
beetle had its home on the plains long
before it ever knew a potato and the
writer has seen the common elm-leaf
beetle feeding voraciously in the noun
tains of North Carolina on a species Of
skullcap- notwithstanding appar-
emily no other plant, in localities where
elms were absent. In Germantown
gardens half-starved bees take to
grapes and raspberries. In the same
locality the common robin has had
hard times. There had been no rain
from July to Oct. IL and, everything
having become parched long since, in

able appearance with what should have
been apples hanging on the trees like
empty walnut shells. In brief, no crea-
ture will ignore the promptings Of ma
ture. It will change its habits when
necessity demands.

QUARTER IV.-tCoxr1xUED.l

We went down to a quiet watering
place on the south coast Here we
stayed for a fortnight. Oh, those sweet
summer days! Shall I ever forget them?
For the time there seemed no cloud
which could possibly shade our joy.
All the cynical, suspicious, mlsan-
thropical elements seemed swept out
Of my nature. I told myself that the
constant society Of the wife l loved
was making a better as well as a hap
pier man Of me.
At the end of our stay by the sea 1t
was our intention to return to London
for couple Of days, and then start for
Switzerland. Here, or in what coun-
try we chose, we were to spend months.
In fact, had as yet no home to offer
my wife. The tenant Of Herstal Abb
hey would not turn out without six
months notice so, for the time, we
must be wanderers.
Epstace Grant, had by now almost
forgotten him-wrote once to my wife.
She seemed OVerjoyed as she saw his
handwriting, but vexed at the cere-
monious way in which his letter began.
1t lies before me now. copy 1t:
my Dear Mrs. Loraine:-You will
remember that next Tuesday is your
twenty-first birthday.
Gas I am going. abroad very shortly,
] am anxious to submit the accounts
Of the trust to you, and, Of course, Mr..
Lorraine. hear that you will be in town
on Tuesday. Can call upon you any
where, or would 1t be more convenient
for US to meet at my solicitor's-Mr.
Monk, SO Linooln's Inn Fields? Please
let me know. Yours sincerely,
"Eustace Grant"
HE might have sent word of con-
gratulations," said Viola, in a Vexed
tone. How shall / answer this
Julian?"
"Say we will meet him at Mr.. Monks
at twelve o'clock on Tuesday"
To which effect Viola wrote. I did
not read the letter, but wondered at
the length Of 1t.

to attend. I had to see my own solicit
tor and give him instructions about the
settlement which 1 wished to make on
Viola. I had also to make my will, o
matter which until now had neglect
ed; so that Tuesday and Wednesday
promised to be fully occupied. Viola
also wished to pay a visit to her old
friend, Miss Rossiter. The prim
spinster would never forgive her If she
passed through town without calling.
She did not press me to accompany
her. Perhaps, in the present changed
and unexpected state Of affairs, she had
much to say to her old friend which
could not be we'll said in my presence.
So suggested she should go alone
20 her old home, spend an hour
with her friend, and meet me at Mr..
Monks at twelve o'clock. In the mean
time / would go to my own solicitors
and arrange my business, the purport

wife. hired a private brougham for
her, placed her in 1t, and stood at the
window saying adieu. 1t was the first
time since our marriage that we had
been parted for an hour. It was, more
over, her twenty-hrst birthday, and on
her hand was ring which I had just
given her-a ring the value Of which
had startled her, for she had not yet
realized what 1t was to be rich mans
wife.
AS I wished her goodbye, remem-
bered that my own business would take
some time. IF I am not very pune
tual, you won't mind waiting?" 1 said.
! mo, I shall like it. Eustace will be
there, and have so much to say to
him-so much to ask him. Don't hur-

fancled that Viola wanted to see
Eustace Grant alone, If possible, in or
der to persuade him, as she had tried
to persuade me, that we had only to
know more Of each other to be like
brothers. She could not understand the
gulf between two men who love the
same woman. I thought 1t was we'll
she should see him. He would make
clear to her the impossibility of any
thing like friendship between US. Just
as I was about to bid the coachman
drive on, Viola looked at me with a
little pout. knew its meaning. I
passed my head through the carriage
window. My shoulders insured strict
privacy. Then a light kiss fell upon
my lips, and a word of love passed be-
tween US. 1 linger on these trivial
evidences Of affection. It will soon be
seen why.
I watched the carriage which held
all loved Join. in the broad stream
Of traffic. Then lighted my cigar, and,
the happlest man in England, walked |
over to my solicitors.
My business took even longer than l |
expected 1t would. There was much to
discuss. What stock could be settled as
1t stood-what should be sold out-who |
were to be trustees-what was to hap
pen in the event Of Viola's death; was
she to have power Of appointment or
not? All sorts of questions like these

Still, as that absence might even now
be satisfactorily explained, resolved
that would not, by evincing premature
distrust or suspicion, let this man tri-
umph over me. So / spoke with forced
composure:
'Mr. Grant, have missed my wife,
somewhere. Can you give me tidings

The table was between US, or I should
have sprung at his throat.

Lorraine" he said, with CALLING con-
tempt. wherever Mrs. Lorraine is, she
is there of her own free choice"
"She is herein this house with
you" exclaimed
Look for her-search every cup

shall be conducted over the whole
building. Make 1t public property that
you are Jealous husband looking for a
faithless wife. No; that shall not be
done for her sake. Wherever she Is,
she is not here"
He spoke as II expecting me to be-
lieVe him. Strange to say, 1 did be-
lieVe him. The thought that this house
would be the last place in which he
would hide Viola from my search, no
doubt conduced to this belief. But now
l could no longer doubt the horrible
truth. This man, by some devilish
craft, had torn my wife from me-had
taken away the woman who, few
hours ago, pressed Judas kiss on my
lips, even as she was going to meet her
lover.
Stay! perhaps he had killed her. Such
things have been done before now by
men who fail to win the woman they
love. Perhaps he had decoyed her
away and was OBTAINING her against her
will. Even now she might be longing
for me to come and free her.
All these thoughts whirled through
my brain, and for moment unnamed
me. I sunk upon a chair, cold and
trembling in every limb. Grant stood
like statue until recovered myself.

For reply Grant rang the bell. Leave

He came toward me. I started to my
feet, and struck fair and full at his
white, set face. He parted the fierce
blow, and in a moment his arms were
around me.

schools. He gave good satisfaction, and
was one Of the best superintendent the
city ever had; but the old soldiers Of the

refuses to consume the time of the
schools with flag drill that the soldiers
had arranged under the pretense OF
teaching patriotism The soldiers are
getting old, but they should not get
cranky. Patriotism is good thing, but
it is not taught by parades and drills.
The old soldiers who went into the war
were patriotic, but we venture to say
that it was not taught them at school by
drills and parades. They got plenty of
that in the army, but they were patriots
before that. Patriotism comes from
other sources than through a course of
study at school. It grows into one. It
is q part of his growth, and he imbibes it
from what he hears, and sees, and reads,
as he goes along, without any set formula
for injecting it into him. He does not
acquire the freckles on his face, the
wart on his hand, or the knot back of
his ear from teaching. You can not
teach boy to have his grandfather's
nose, or his grandmother's mole on his
neck. They come there, and are part
of him. So does patriotism. 1t is we'll
enough to keep symbols before him, and
throw influences around him, and have
patriotic lessons for him to read; but
these are only fertilizers Of what already
exists. Some boys would be patriots IL
they were raised in a coal mine; and
some could not be made 30 il you were
to drill and shoot it into them every day.
Flag drills, to take up time that should
be devoted to studies, will not accomplish
it. You may water and hoe around
