PROJECT THE BIRDS.

Legislature will pass law to
protect the song and plumage
birds of Louisiana. 1t is a
shameful admission that an un-
restricted slaughter of our finest
birds has been permitted in this
State. We believe that there is
a law making the killing of a
mocl1ing bird misdemeanOr,
but this great feathered songster,
which inspired the brush and
pen of Audubon, seems to be
passing away. AS far as we
know the law has never been en-
forced. An effort is being made
by those who speculate in these
birds to defeat the law, but it is
hardly probable that they will
succeed. This law should not
only be adopted, but it should be
strictly enforced. Its adoption
merely will not protect the birds.
If it is to be added to the many
other dead laws on our statute
books, it might as well fail to
pass. Speaking on the subject
of this proposed law. The Times
Democrat says:
Every man. woman and child in the State
of Louisiana is interested in the meeting of
the judiciary committee of the House at
Baton Rouge this evening. \ bill for the
protection of the song and plumases bird
(not game birls) of this State is TO be passed
upon by the members of that committee,
and we understand that the bird dealers
who ship thousands upon thousands of
fea,hered sougsters and birds of hrigh,
plumage TO the Northern cities and to
Europe going TO try to have the bill
either not passed, reported uutavorably or
amended SO to make it inoperative
For hundred years the wanton destruc-
,ion of birds has been going on, and it is
about time 1t should be stopped The bill
before the Legislature is 5" Inanifestly in
the interest of the people themselves that it
seems strange there should be any VIII have
the courage to ask that they be permitted to
thrive upon the destructio ou of these beauti-
full and useful ierizens of fields, shores
and forests. Surely in State that pro
duced the greatest ornthologist of America
there enough members Of our Legisla-
ture who VIII revere the name OF their tel
lov, -cpuntryman, Audubon, TO pass this bill
for the honor of the State and as a safeguard
for those feathered songsters and insect de-
stroyers to be found in Louisiana a the diff
ferent seasons of the year.
The terms have disappeared from the
shores of the Gulf. They killed and
skipped to the millinery establishments of
Baltimore to bedeck the hats of women.
The s'pops' are being ruthlessy treated
that few remain to tell the tale of their
former plenty.
The few mocking b rCs which are left will
soon be shipped away.
And SO one may go through the list Of
shame It's crying reproach to the State
and to Legislature that they have not
heretofore accorded this protection. But
we trust the members of this present House
will make amends for the past and place our
State where she will plainly say to all bird
despoilers: The State that gave Audubon
to the world protects the birds which he
loved we'll and abou, which he

WHEN THE PLOT
THIcKENED
l<F@FFF*FF**@@F{{FF7

DUDLEY explained his idea with
~ enthusiasm.
Something is bound to come of
it," he said. "We will exchange mail
for one week. You must read my
letters and answer them as if they
were your own, without consulting
me, or even telling me their con-
tents, and / will do the same with
yours. BY following up this misfit
correspondence I'll be sure to get a
plot"
"Quite likely" drawled Grant.
.'But what do get?"
THE satisfaction OF seeing me
make stake with an original story,
and possibly check, II that delin-
quent Boston firm comes to time"
Grant pondered the proposition
doubtfully.
"It's a crazy notion" he said, at
length, "but since get scarcely any
mail up town except laundry bills and
circulars from local tradesmen, the
chances of your prying into any Of
my secrets seem exceedingly slim, SO
! suppose 1 can safely accommodate
you. When do you wish to put the
system into operation?"
Tomorrow morning, If you're
willing" said Dudley. my imagina-
ton seems to be afflicted with most
days, and the sooner 1 get to work
on a plot from real life the better"
At no delivery on the following day
were there any letters of impor-
lance for either of the friends, but
in the ten o'clock mail on the second
morning there was a letter addressed
to Grant that promised interesting
results. The envelope bore unmis-
taxable earmarks Of feminity, and in
spite of their agreement Dudley hest
,tated before opening it.
''It seems hardly fair to the girl"
he thought. "Still-"
He looked across the table at
Grant, who had finished his break
fast and was smiling over a commu-
nication to Dudley from the ponder
GUS Boston firm.
"That settles it," growled Dud-
ley. "He's got the check, confound
him, so might as well get even by
making the most of this innocent
little note"
The letter was written in a sprawl
ing, fashionable hand, and covered
several pages. Before he was half
way through Dudley perceived that
he had been precipitated into the
thick of plot far more unique than
any he had counted on discovering.
