By Mary A. Spear.
Many times in a day Helen and Frank
went out to look at leaf buds on the horse
chestnut tree.
When Frank tied threads on the twigs he
found something sticky covering the buds.
The lilac and willow buds were not sticky,
like those on the horse chestnut.
Day by day the buds grew and the sticky
matter on them became softer. 1t was
like varnish.
One day Helen saw the scales on a bud
had moved little Now the bud would
open and show her what was inside.
First she saw something that looked like
brown wool. The scales spread farther
apart, and this brown wool came out more
and more.
Then she saw 1t was a leaf peeping out.
but 1t was almost hidden in its woolly
wrapper. 1t was closely covered with
woolly wrapper. as if to keep out the cold.
When it had grown far out of the bud,
and had been warmed by the sun. it began
to open into parts. Then Helen saw a
pretty green color.
The leaf vas wrinkled. When 1t opened
into parts there were seven wrinkled parts.
These were to make a great horse-chestnut
leaf.

Rain Resembling Blood.

Showers of blood-bona fide, genuine
blood, or, at any rate, having the same
properties-are by no means uncommon on
the Mediterranean coast and in some parts
of Italy. This rain has been analysed and
undoubtedly contains several of the min
eral constituents of human blood. The
sanguinary character of the downfall Is
owing to the presence of a thick dust which
impregnates the atmosphere and which
contains a considerable quantity of red
oxide Of iron. The peasants, however. re-
gard these showers with a superstitious
awe which no scientific explanation can
allay.

'One thing I should be glad to have
you say for me. I want you to deny the

Miss Goelet. There Is no truth whatever
in the story.

ABLE CONVENTION LEADERS

One Of the most interesting questions
likely to arise over the new registration
anywhere in the State will come up to-
day at Shumaker's precinct In Henrico
county, when some Of the old Confed-
crate soldiers at the Lee Camp Home
will offer for registration.
The feature will be that those who
offer to register from the Home will be
turned down by the board, which will
be fortified In its contention by opinions
from some of the best lawyers in the
State, including Attorney-General VIII
liam A. Anderson The opinion of Major
Anderson, which is printed in full be-
low, is clear and elaborate one, and is
fully sustained by Messrs. Hill Carter,
Eppa Hunton Jr., and David Q. Egg1es-
ton, all strong lawyers and members of
the convention that framed the ordi-
nance.
ON MIR HOLDERBY'S REQUEST.
In anticipation Of the attempt Of the
old soldiers to register, and on account
OF the doubt as to the duties OF the
board in the matter, Mr.. A. r. dolderby,
Jr.. member of the board Of registrars
for the Tuckahoe district of Henrico
county, several days ago addressed a
letter to Attorney General W. ~. Ander-
son, asking his official opinion as to the
right Of the old soldiers to register
In reply. Major Anderson sent the fol-
lowing letter to Mr.. Eolderby. enclosing
the appended official opinion:
