lookin ahead to see if Mary vas
standin waitin at the stile. Yes,
she was there as usual, right iii
front of Us, for the line curved 10
the right just at the stile, an was
hidden from view behind q little
wood. I could see her print dres7
an the same white linen bonnet
she wore VIXEN | first saw her in
the garden on that spring eyenin.
Oh, how my heart went out to her,
an how that old wicked feelin to-

Mary had her back toward Us
us-a very unusual thing-anIrs-

usual three whistles sounded short

and threV up her hands like on6

down to the crossin where she stood
and | saw her eyes starin at me,
like Goals Of fire set III a face as
white as chalk. She fascinated
me.
''Just thon old John shut off
steam an l heard him doin thing
he'd never done afore-reversin
the engine! All Of sudden Mary
seemed to wake up an find hor-
rlble dream true, for | heard, above
everything: Jump off, my lad
you've time-you can do it. Jump
off, for her sake. Harry, for
heavens sake!'
81 said, Nay, John.''
" Quick he says, Harry, Har-
ry! Jump for your Mary's sake!'
81 swung one leg off the engine
life was dear-an prepared to
spring into the grass. Then a
great surgin love for the man came
over me, an l turned suddenlike
an took him by the hand and
says, John, well stick together
an die together-if it's Gods will
for her sake!' An he just gave NE
that sweet look an slept in front
of me, as if to put his great frame
betwixt me an death, and there
came crash as if heaven an eartl,

and over, and then it felt as if the

No More Birds in the Hat.
Boston Dispatch.

A circular from the office of the |
chief of district police, giving the
text Of the present law for the pro-
lection of birds, has been sent to |
dry goods wholesalers, retailers
and milliners all over the State. |
While the local police arc charged |
with the enforcement Of the law |
the same as they are of every other
general law of the State, yet Chief |
Wade, of the district police, has
taken the initiative III this matter
because the officers of the State po-
lice alone have the right to enter
mercantile establishments to look
after the enforcement of law
without having a warrant. They
have the right to search, and so can
proceed better than the local po-
lice. Chief Wade believes that
the law will be easy of enforce
ment, for the mere possession of
the feathers or body of a bird will
ssgastitute sufficient evidence.
existing law, which is eN-
.aixtentled to o-cover the possession of
-fhe.body or feathers of bird, as
we'll as the killing, imposes fine
of $40 for the killing The en-
forcement has been in the hands
of the commissioners Of inland
fish and game, and the fact is, in
the main, an act to establish close
and open seasons for game.
The exceptions from the protec-
ton of the Stata are the English
sparrow, the crow blackbird, the
crow, the jay, birds of prey and
wild geese. The question comea
how far the exception of these
birds Will open the door to the Vi
olation of the law under the plea
that some of the feathers belong
to the unprotected species The
plumage of the blue Jay is very
beautiful, and would make hand
some head ornaments, as such
things go in the millinery world
/ 1t is probable that other unpro.
tected plumage could be utilized
to do service either for ornament
CT for invasion of the law.
1t Will be noticed that the &C
does not relate TO the killing o
birds in this State, but that i
covers the plumage of birds bro
to Massachuse is. Hence, to TIL
extent of the Massachusetts, de
mand, if the law is enforced, ther
will be protection extended to til,
birds Of other States and coun
tries. 1t would be impossible +
prove killing in Massachusetts,, 81
there has been no effective way +
protect the song birds but to pro
ceed against the entire fashion ant
to attack it wherever it shows
feather.
While the new law will doubt
less be looked upon by many wo
men as needless. yet there Is
backing Of social strength, as wei
as of mercy, behind it, for the Au
dobon Society includes man,
prominent women Of Boston, Cam
bridge, Brookline, and Of larg
places all over the State. Th
plea which they make is Of mere,
] for the birds, which are slaughter
ed by millions for women's orna
o ment. The act of the Legislator
was more on business than merci
full grounds, for the wholesale dc
/, struction of the song birds has re
suited in the marked increase Q
insect pests, and hence the destruc
ton Of the crops. It Will be cas-
for the women to make it popula
: to observe the law, and if th
members Of the Audubon Societ
. help the police authorities in th
enforcement it will be possible
make the law a success.

Concord Standard

Mr. Jesse Snotherly, of Mont
gomery county, in a battle in the
late war, found a Federal soldier
between the lines wounded in one
knee and unable to get away
while the dry leaves, ETC., were
conducting a fire that would have
burned him to death.
The unfortunate mans cries for
water especially drew the atten-
ton of Mr.. Snotherly and elected
his pity. He fastened to clear
away the litter from around the
man and also brought him a can
teen of water and left him to fol-
low the limo of duty and perso-
nal safety. Not, however until
he had given the grateful man
his name and address. Here all
seemed to end--but not so. The
wounded Federal recovered and
we are told recently opened cor
respondence with his benefactor
and enclosed to him his check fol
