and other small fry, have built their nests in the walls of this giant nest
 "Oh, my cried Alice, what sight to seel''
 T must find out about that bird,'' said Mabel, who was the natural his tory member of the family. ..I,ll just run back to the gate and ask the man there.''
 The man at the gate told the children they could find the bird curator in the birdhouse and he would tell them all they wanted to know. They hurried there, not stopping even to look at the beautiful spotted deer.
 The curator told them that the nest was built by a bird that has ever so many names. Its learned one is Pan dion haIiatus, but it is variously called ishhawk. fishing eagle, osprey and bald buzzard. though it is not like bug gard.
 The word osprey itself,'' explained the curator, means bone breaker. That is probably because the bird s beak and talons are so strong that it can crush the bones of a fish in mo- ment. It lives on fish altogether,

Nothing could make her face those eyes now. She could not understand the panic that came over her at the very thought.
 She saw her penny disappear without compunction. and was only glad that the man did not see the gold letter.
 She was blankly unconscious that the keen eyes beside her had seen it with quick recognition.
 ''st Catherine! Change cars cas- an wes'!''
 There were movement and hustle on the front. seat, and an enormously fat old woman stood up and dislodged two sleeping children.

eyes were too much for her, and she dropped back among the crowd and made room for stronger climbers.
 Miss Sherbrooke saw her white, fag- ged face as the car moved on and sat back as if in trance.
 The car ran down into the town and soon reached the low Craig street cross ing. Some people crowded out of the front seat, and a man climbed slowly into their place.
 Miss Sherbrooke's face barely hid a passion of welcome and relief.
 What fool she had been to compare them! Fancy Swim speaking so to a Womani And she laughed in her heart as she watched him drop solidly in front of his rival
 His smooth, dark face was toward her, with the old deprecatory droop of the mouth and the brown eyes that hid half their challenge, and Miss Sher- brooke surrendered at discretion. But there was no challenge hiding there now. It was plain that he did not see her or even notice Jerry there before him, and Jerry's face was coolly contemptuous.
 Was it possible those two had quar- reied?
 An undefnable uneasiness crept over her like shadow.
 How white Swim looked and how tired! He had been playing too long in the sun again.
 As she watched him he leaned slowly outward to the shallow support of the side rail and rested against it inertly
 The conductor swung up his box and waited, but he did not move.
 Tickets, please!" the man said again shortly.
 The brown eyes stared at him with an odd, helpless look, and Miss Sherbrooke grew seriously frightened. He had surely had sunstroke or something, and Jerry was not stirring to help him. Indeed, it was only too plain that Jerry was rejoicing at his condition.
 The conductor grew importunate and spoke loudly, and at last Swim said something inaudible.
 Cant find one?'' the man exclaimed, l smiling. "All right; I'll come back again them <
 The car stopped, and in the hot si- lence woman's.voice sounded clearly:
 T thought they were always quarrel some or,noisy.''
 | And mans laughing undertone an- swered: "FIe is too far gone to be either.'' Miss Sherbrooke gave one despairing look at the faces about her, and her own turned as white as her ribbon.
 The truth had come on her like a thunderbolt.
 Swin was drunk. She did not move, nor did she faint, as the man beside her half expected, but set her teeth and sat watching the pitifuI sight before her. l The conductor came back and shook him, and at last Swim turned his head l slowly. E,s* %@ @.
 Put in 5 cents,'' said the man.
 A puzzled frown went over the smooth forehead, but the right hand went mechanically to it's pocket.
 Five cents or a ticket" The hand reappeared with miscellaneous hand full, and among it a bit of blue paper.
 Slowly and painfully, as though he were moving in a dream, Swim singled l this out from the rest and held it out. l Miss Sherbrooke recognized 1t at 8

her, and after furtive reconnoiter she began to observe him more boldly.
 It was easy to observe any one on the car in that stihing night.
 More than half the people round her were sitting back in unconcealed leth- argy and careless of everything about them but the blessed relief of the wind.
 Miss Sherbrooke took her cue from them at once and looked out from the ambush of her lashes.
 He was sitting bareheaded at the outside of the seat with his masterful side face toward her and his bright hair blowing back softly, and when she looked at his closed eyes she felt strange thrill of exultation.
 Yet she knew that their owner was not sleeping, and she knew, too, that once he had seen her she could not de- ceive him for moment.
 He would go home with her from the car and she should have said yes" when she got there
 And could any woman regret it?
 Surely few men could hold candle to him.
 She only knew of one. When she thought of that one, she sighed and looked out into the night.
 Poor Swin!" she said to herself. believe that love you best; but Jerry is stronger than you.'
 Jerry looked very strong at that mo- ment and even trif1e sullen.
 Miss Sherbrooke began to wish he would smile She wanted to see the adorable change that a smile always brought to his face. 4-s .- i,
 She had never had to wait so long be- fore. -.
 Tickets, p1e-e-ease!"
 The conductor was swinging down along the footboard, and Miss Sher- brooke discovered with a shock of dis may that the twenty-five cent piece she held ready was plugged.
 She had nothing else but her lucky penny and a five dollar bill.
 She knew there was nothing else, though she felt again with quiet des- peration.
 The lucky penny was an ordinary five cent piece with small gold J on one side. A boy had thrown it to her on a snowball one dark night long ago as she was crying at her nursery win dow.
 She had never forgotten his cheery shout:
 keep it till you want something aw- fully bad"
 She might give the $5. For an in- stant she thought she would and risk Q loud toned barley.
 And then Jerry moved little.
 Miss Sherbrooke seized her penny and thrust it into the box in an agony of trepidation. ..-n @s

N was a great day for the Harvey
 children-Alice. Douglas and Ma
 bel-when their mother took them
 one Saturday to the geological park in the Bronx district of New York city. They were there nearly all day, and then they did not see more than half they wanted to. They will have something pleasant to talk of for years.
 At the very entrance to the park they found something so interesting that they stayed there half an hour. They entered the park by the northwest gate and had only gone little way when Alice suddenly exclaimed:
 "Oh, do look there at that great bunch of sticks at the top of a broken treeI What can it be?''
 s'This tells you" answered Mrs. Har- zey, who always used her eyes when she went anywhere with those children. She pointed to printed placard, which announced that the huge bunch of sticks was a birds nest.
 sIf it didn't say that so plain and if I didn't know the geological people would not dare print a made up story and put 1t upon a post here, I should never believe that is birds nest,'' said Douglas. "But it reads in so many words that this is the nest of an Amer ican osprey, or fishhawk. and that it

 And then Miss Sherbrooke saw a change come over Jerry's face with a vengeance and heard four electrifying swear words. 5s. '
 Her face and her heart hardened fiercely.

EIESlDDEEL.
 The car swung round into Amherst street, and Swin's heavy body swayed outward.
 Two girls near the front screamed and giggled, and an old lady clutched in the air. -
 "Let him fa1l!" cried Miss Sherbrooke in her heart, but her rage died out slowly in horror.
 Must she see his white face on the rails in that rabbit warren darkness?
 Swin's face!
 A rush of pity almost choked her.
 He was only a boy. After all, he was only boy, and Jerry would smile again when he saw him fall
 She shut her teeth tighter and waited. He was totally helpless now, and only his own heavy weight seemed keeping him upright.
 But his eyes were still wide open, and she saw with a strange, creeping horror the look of groping, bewildered appeal that she had seen in an old man with softening of the brain.
 Dear God, that Swin should look like that!
 She sat still, sick and faint in the stifing heat, as the car rushed up the black street.
 The conductor retreated to the rear after few backward gIances and seemed to think there was nothing to fear.
 The front seat gradually emptied save for those two, and still nothing hap pened.
 Was he possibly safe, after all?

The horses were out of the question at that hour, and the servants were all asleep. She had never been out alone in car at night in her life, and she did not like to go now. But she was not afraid and could break the convenances on occasion with impunity.
 And she resolved to do it now.
 Ten minutes later, in the most unob- trusive of dresses, she stepped off the pavement at Park avenue and walked out to meet a down car.
 There was one empty place on the second seat from the front at the inside, and she got into it with praiseworthy nimbleness.
 Then she settled herself back in the corner with sigh of satisfaction and waited for the breeze.
 She knew at once almost by instinct that the man sitting next her was

 night. Her father had gone to New York. and she was going to Newport tomorrow.
 Mrs. Presidder was taking her off her fathers hands for the season and, though Miss Sherbrooke did not know it, would take her off them altogether If she could. Mrs. Presidder's enemies sneered when they said it, but they knew better in the bottom of thelr hearts. It was not question or money. .~ s .~ -.s'. Everybody knew what MT.

 But tonight Miss Sherbrooke was making the decision of her life alone.
 Two men were coming to her tomor- row for styes'' or mo-" and to save her life she could not choose between them. < It had to be "no'' for one. But which 6ne? She hated that it should be for either She was sure that she loved
  they both loved her. Apart from the question of love there was nothing to consider. Both were clever, both were rich and both were good looking. Both presumably were good; at least she had heard nothing to the contrary. She knew very few women, and men were so noncommittal. She was uneasily conscious of some thing her father always said: You see all the good there is in man and are as blind as a bat to the eviI.''
 Was she really blind? Surely it did not matter. Her father knew them both and liked them.
 She went over it all again, half shyly even to herself, and recalled their looks and words. She recalled them only too well; that was the trouble. And she must decide. She must.
 She looked out at the waving tree- tops.
 It was blowing somewhere in the open. The wind that saved Montreal every night was saving it now.
 She should be out. That was it. But where, and how?
 The long, low cry of a Belt line car came swelling up through the night.
 She gave one startled look in the di- rection of the sound and hesitated, but in that hesitation her mind was made up. She looked at her watch in the cleo trio light. It was ten minutes to Il.
