blue like diamond dust.
When the sun was very low and the
level meadows ran molten gilt in every
harrow, the sparrows, gathered Cor the
night on tree and roof, filled the street
with restless chirping that stirred the
Gagged birds in the shop. Linnet an
swered thrush, finches whistlad wistful
answers to the free twittering of the
sparrows; little lark rustled and
ruffled; a blackbird uttered a still, thin
plant.

answered the plant of wild Gagged

wicker cage. The parrots pale eve was
yelled in scorn; the monkey fiouted
freedom with a grimace, shivering and
mounting as the hundred wings beat
at the wicker bars.
Hardwood took the cage; Hide walk

of freedom given by those who know
that something else is sWeeter. There

When Hide opened the cage a feath-

their course, due south.

THE ANATOMY OF HAPPINESS.
That night they closed the empty
bird store; Hardwood lifted the wooden
shutters into place and locked them.
Hide carried the monkey into he din
ing room and installed it in a warm
corner. Mehemet Ali, the parrot, view
ed these proceedings with contempt 1t
mattered little to him where he passed
his pessimistic days. WEAKNESS and a.
vicious melancholy had marked him for
their own Even when he ate he ate as
if he were making an ironical conces-
sion to the weakness of some one else
Curiosity he had Subdued, sinister soli-
tude he courted, and bit when it was
denied him. There had been time in
earlier days when he whistled the
Observation-Disclosures he croaked "Vive
fEmpereur." Now for year he had
been mute, brooding in silence among
the noisy feathered inhabitants of the
bird store, dreaming, perhaps scheming
for he had the sly, slow eye of the
Oriental.
He bit Hardwood when that young
man was bearing him to the dining
rec m, and when dropped, automatically
sided under sofa. From this retreat

the furniture by aid of beak and claw,
sUllenly menacing those who approach

ScheheraZader had not recovered from
her fright. The characteristics of the
big house cat had almost disappeared;
she covered when approached; she
skunk when she moved; there was a
darkness in her eyes, a stealth, almost
a menace, in the slow turning of her
head. Already in those early days of
the siege milk was becoming too ex-
pensive to buy for q lioness; meat also
had increased so swiftly in price that
Yolette was frightened, and haunted
the market wistfully, scarcely daring to
buy. Vegetables, bread and wine, how
ever, We're plenty; so were proclama-
tons from the governor of Paris as
Surfing everybody that the city had
ample provisions for months to come.
Most people thought that the increase
in the price of meat was only temper
ary-a mere furry caused by the con-
summation of an event that was not
yet entirely credited-the actual advent
OF the Prussian army before Paris.
The arrival of the Germans was like
a theatrical entrance; the audience was
all Paris, the orchestra, a thousand
cannon. They turned up by batteries,
west, south, and finally north, as the
vast circle of steel closed closer and
closer, and finally welded with the snap
of trap. Then, when the city and
outer ring of forts were in turn them
selves encircled by a living iron ring,
when the full thunder from the battery
of the Double Crown was echoed from
st. Denis to Mont-Valerin, from Saint
Cloud to Charenton, and again from the |
southeast northwar1 to st. Denis, Paris |
began TO understand.

Yes, little one"
She held his hand a moment, then
let it drop. He scarcely noticed it. a
moment afterWard he heard the click,
click of her little sabots down the
stairs outside. An hour later, a bitter
hour, he followed, descending the worn
stairs silently, fearing the very silence
that he dared not break.
Yolette moved about the dining room,
singing to herself in an undertone. He
passed into the hallway and out TO the
bird store, where Hide knelt among
the wicker cages.
When she saw him she rose to her
knees, hiding her burning face in her
hands. He bent close to her, and
touched the flushed cheeks between his
hands. One by one he UNFINISHED the
slender fingers, closely interlocked, and
at last he raised her head to his. But
she would not look at him, her sealed
Ids pressed the lashes tightly TO her
cheeks.

day." he said.
Presently she answered: Can you
ask?"
He raised her from her knees; her
eyes We're still closed, but her white
hands stole around his neck. There was
silence. When at last he released her,
and the quiet tears had dried in her
ewes without falling, she went to the
open door and stood there, looking out
into the west. Earth came back 10 her
slowly through the heaven OF their kiss
sounds grew through the music of his
voice; she heard the cannonade' dull
triple throb; she saw green tree tops
stirring in the sun.
He came and stood beside her. Loves

He took her unresisting hand-that
