TWO LETTERS,

PiNbulC was q u'NlutNig pINl-
ty one-there was a sloping lawn lead
ing down to the river Thames. An old
fashioned house, with gabled roof and
French windows were all open, for
the day was a hot one in July. BY one
of them a girl stood in a white dress,
with n crimson rose fastened in her
belt. Her eyes were lowered; she was
reading a letter.
Its awful to think of the two let
tiers coming the same day" she said to
herself. "Of course, | know what this
letter contains" Here she looked
down at an unopened envelope which
she was holding firmly clasped in her
right hand. She hesitated as she glanc-
ed at it, and with an effort she took
the second letter out of its cover and
read the following words:
Dear Margot-For Gods sake, don't
give yourself to that other fellow be-
cause he is rich. You know perfect
ly well that l love you to distraction.
Yours,
ROBERT CECIL"
"Margot, Margot," shouted a gay
voice. Some little steps were heard on
the gravel, and a girl of eleven or
twelve years of age, with a quantity
of hair falling over her shoulders, ran
around the house and up to Margot's
side.
Sir Peter Ansell is coming down
the avenue, Margot-he is driving his
mail phaeton tandem, and it's perfect
ly splendid to see him. Why, how
funny you look, and what is that let
ter which Clip is worrying? Oh, Mar
got, it's in Sir Peters handwriting"
"Pick up all the bits, Polly. do, do"
exclaimed the elder girl. "Oh, you
wicked Clip, what a nuisance you are.
Why, l had scarcely read the letter,
and-and-'
Was it very Important" asked
Polly, who was down on her knees
helping to collect the scattered frag-
ments.
"Oh, l suppose so; well, it does not
matter. Is Sir Peter coming around
here, Polly? Do l look all right"
You look splendid" said Polly,
with emphasis. "Of course, he's COM
ing round here. It's you he has come
to visit-we all know what he wants.
Oh, Margot, do say yes to him. l do
want to drive a tandem so dreadfully,
and Bob said this morning he was 60
ing to get a pony first thing out of
that old beggar of an Ansell, see if
he wasn't. You have got to say yes,
and see that you do. Oh, what letter is
that you are crushing up in your
hand?"
"Nothing-nobody's letter." said
Margot, incoherently. How do you
do, Sir Peter?" She held out her hand
to a stout, florid-looking man who
now approached.
well, Margot," he said, "you have
read my letter. and, of course, it's to

The following experiment may be OF
interest to lovers of botany, and will
partially explain the two colors, mauve
and white. found in the cuckoo flower,
Cardamine pratensis. Two strong
plants were carefully removed from
the ground and ported. One was al
lowed to grow in the open and the
other placed under cover, the only light
allowed being that which passed
through an amber colored glass. In
less than three days the bloom under
the amber glass had assumed a dis
tinct mauve color. whilst that left in
the open was almost white, or very
nearly SO.
