from the grass land. We took a soft
turf-covered path, overhung by branch

a small, irregular patch of trees that lay
in the full flood of the moonlight. In
the darkness beyond / heard the gentle
murmur of small spring, and then the
distinct movement of a heavy body and
the cink of iron. My hand reached to
my holster in a flash, but Nicholas saw
the gesture, and said: at is the horse.

the curtain of leaves beside him, from

the time for talk, and we drew out of the
clearing in single file, and, after forcing
our way through the wet and shining
leaves around us, found a bride path.
Along this my guide went at trot.
Nicholas suddenly pulled up and held
out a warning hand.
What is it?" asked, in a low tone.
"Uist!" he said, and then in a rapid
whisper: "Another so yards and we
come to the open. Anet lies before us,
and the rest of the way must be done

We had gone too far to go back, how

steps. As he said, in about so yards we
came to the open, and halted close to a
huge oak, bald of all leaves, with its
gnarled trunk riven and SCARED by
lightning. Before us a level stretch of
turf sloped gently down towards what
was once an ornamental lake, but now
overgrown with the rankest weeds. In
the center of the lake was a small is
land, on which was set a summer house
fashioned like a Moorish kiosque, and
beyond this rose huge and square the
enormous facade of the chateau. It was

bayed into the night. Nicholas gripped

SING AS THEY RISE.
Some Birds That Seem to BE Fairly
Carried OF Their Feet
with Joy.
LTo BE Continued

A very interesting feature of our bird
songs is the wing songs, or song of
ecstacy. 1t is not the gift of many of
our birds. Indeed, less than a dozen
species are known to me as ever singing
en- the wing. 1t seems to spring from
more intense excitement and self-aban-
donment than the ordinary song deliv-
cred from the perch. When birds joy
reaches the point of rapture it is literal
ly carried off it's feet, and up it goes into
the air, pouring out its song as rocket
pours its sparks. The skylark and bob
clink habitually do this, but a few
others of our birds do it only on occa-
sions.
Last summer, up in the Catskills, ]
added another name to my list of
ecstatic singers-that of the vesper
sparrow. Several times / heard a new
song in the air, and caught a glimpse
of the bird as it dropped back to earth.
My attention would be attracted by a
succession of hurried, chirping notes,
followed by a brief burst of song, then
by the vanishing form of the bird. One
day was lucky enough to see the bird
as it was rising to its climax in the air,
and identified it as the vesper sparrow.
The flight of IS or 100 feet was brief;
but it was brilliant, and striking, and
entirely unlike the leisurely chant of
the bird while upon the ground. 1t sug-
gested lark, but was less buzzing or
humming. The preliminary chirping
notes, uttered faster and faster as the
bird mounted in the air. were like the
trail of sparks which rocket emits be-
fore it's grand burst of color at the top

We passed the iaceworll of trees that
bordeTed the skirts of the forest, Nicho-
las and |. On our left we could hear the
drumming of a horses hoofs growing
fainter and more faint, as Jacques rode
through the night to Rouvres. Marie's
waiting came to us from behind, and
Nicholas, who was walking doggedly
along by the neck of my horse, stopped
short suddenly and looked back. Turn
there she was, i'll shadowy outline, at
the ruined gates of the inn, and again
her sobbing cry came to us.
We turned sharply, behind the silent
ly waving arms of hedge of hornbeam,
and it was a relief to find that this cut
away all further chance of seeing the
pitiful figure at the gates of the inn.
Nicholas drew the folds of his frayed
cloak over his head, as if to shut out
all sound, and hurried onward-a tall
figure, lank and dark, that fitted before
me within the shadow of the hedgcrow.

strom in his London gymnasium, where
he was engaged in teaching the young
English noblemen how to work up heir
muscles, fence, shoot, wrestle and ac-
quire all sorts of athletic and calls
thenic accomplishments
The baron's father is Baron Claes Ed
the Royal Swedish Life Dragons. His
mother, before her marriage, was
Baroness Martha Leijonhufvud. The
family of Cederstrom is one of the best
in Scandinavia. 1t was ennobled in
1854, and although not prominent in
the way of wealth, it has been always
highly respected, and its male mem
bers have taken no small part in the
military, civil and professional fields of
Sweden. Young Olaf is handsome, dis
tinguished looking man, simple and
courteous in manner and highly edu-
Gated. The family being poor, he was
expected to earn his own living. True,
he might have joined the army, but the
idle, good-for-nothing life of an officer
in peace times had no attraction for
him. He went to London, opened his
athletic institution and soon had a
fashionable and profitable clientage.

young Swede's maniiness, and invited
him to Craig-y-Nos, her castle in Wales.

ment OF, the engagement was made.

rimonial line promises to be as happy
as was her second with Signor Nicolini.
Patti and Nicolini lived like doves up to

sheer persistence. Her first husband,
Marquis de CauX, was much older than
she, but very rich, and their married
life was anything but pleasant Nico-
lini had nothing but the good fortune
to win Nine. PATHS love, and that was
enough. Cederstrom is likewise a poor
man, but he is noble, and it is by no
means improbable that as Baroness
Ccderstrom Nine. Patti can spend her
remaining years in very pleasant asso-
citation with Europe's best society. The
wedding will take place at Craig-y-Nos
February 2j. Baron and Baroness Ced-
erstrom will then go at once to London.
The former is to become a naturalized

WILL MARRY PATTI.
Baron CederstrOm, Swedish NOble~
man, TO lie the Famous Diya's
Third Venture.

Baron Olaf Rudolf Cederstrom, who
is soon to become the third husband Of
Nine. AdeIina Patti, is a young Swedish
nobleman of excellent family, but with
positively nothing in the way of for
tune. However, that will make small
difference, for the divine singer has a
castle and enough money for both. The
baron is only 2S and Patti is 81. The
match, nevertheless, is by no means
grotesque, for Nine. Patti doesn't look
a day older than she did when she came
to America in the early '8Os and she was
