Along by the orchard. beginning to bur-
geon,
And fresh from a trimming. yet not over
trim.
The sapsucker. quite like an amateur sur
geon,
Goes ONE for some weakness of heart,
trunk, or limb
The TWO shouts aloud in his jubilant
frenzy,
His love and return to his dear native
tree:
The snowbird has gone to explore the
Mackenzie,
Or, over in Asia. he sings by the THREE.
The frogs wake, and rise from the bed of
the river,
And all talk at once as they sit on the
shore,
"A boom! A big boomr' they announce
with a shiver,
And seem to find trouble in speaking the
FOUR.
The bees in the willows busily hum
ming,
The sunshine is clouded by gnats on the
wing;
The wasps round the window keep coming
and coming,
And here's a mosquito. All hail, gentle

The girls manner changed; even her face
seemed TO alter, and its soft, round contour
became set in firmer lines and wore an eX-

THAT, gentlemen, is the germ from
which" Mr.. Carruthers said then he
threw up his hands and fell forward.
When Steer bent over him he found the
man was dead; the overtaXed heart and
brain had ceased to work But. thank
heaven, Sidney Carruthers had revealed in
his madness. brought on by excessive study,
the truth about Violet Carruthers. She was
not tainted with the terrible disease of in
sanity. but. being sensitive to influence,
she had been spellbound by a will stronger
than her own.
Shortly after Carruthers's death strange
things came to light in his past life. 1t was
discovered that he was member of a
secret psychological society in France and
that he had done much in his search for
occult wisdom which proved his ideas of
right and wrong were extremely crude and
Ills NIOlt mural NdIpeQ ulS-
torted. He had evidently in his niece
valuable instrument for aiding him in his
studies, and he had used her a tool in
his researches and experiments. 1t was
now obvious to Laurence Steer that on the
day when he had seen Violet in a frenzy
of apparent insanity she simply obey
ing the suggestion of her master. and that
Mr.. Carruthers had hit upon this cruel ex
pedient in order to effectually prevent his
nieees marriage, when he would lose his
influence and power over her.
The shock of her uncle's death was so
great that Violet was seriously i'll for some
considerable time after il occurred. Upon
hearing the whole story and finding that
the poor girl had no relatives or friends
Mrs. Steer took Violet Carruthers into her
OWE house and nursed her back to health
and strength. When she recovered her
former unevenness Of temperament had
quite disappeared; she was then sweet
and natural a girl as could be seen, and
Laurence Steer fell more deeply in love
with her than ever. She on her part, now
that all inharmonious influences were re-
moved. learnt to like him more and more,
and in the end he charming and af-
fectionate wife. and the old sad memories
faded of the days when she had been under
a spell.

CHILD LOVE FOR ANIMALS.
The Society Which Fosters 1t Grows
Rapidly.
New York Evening Post

New York Evening Post.
Those who are familiar with the methods
of Our Animal Protective League" will not
he surprised to learn that this unique So
ciety finds itself i'm an embarrassing situa-
ton as regards the impoSsibility of accom-
modating all those who would like to be-
come members. The league has never been
so thorough and effective and full of life as
1t is now, nor has 1t ever in its history re-
ceived so much in donations and subscrip-
tons as in the last season. If it were to
stand where it is, its funds would be suffi
cient. But this is impossible. In spite of
an exceedingly conservative management,
which has labored to hold the growth of the
league in check rather than to force il pre-
maturely. demands for new chapters have
become so frequent and insistent that some
thing must be done to meet them.
This league is peculiar, not so much in
its aims as in its methods. Its purpose is,
of course, primarily. to develop humane and
gentle instincts in children, and, like many
other associations, IL seeks to do this by
dealing with them in their attitude towards
animals. In the actual conduct of the chap
tiers, however. there is not much apparent
sentiment. They are more like little
schools, in which the children receive a
habits history and nature of familiar ami
mails and their relations to men. In most
of the chapters, for instance, there is a
dummy horse which the children harness
and unharness, and by which demonstra
tions are given that show wherein certain
appliances are injurious or inhumane. The
children OF these chapters sometimes meet
in the large stables of the city and watch
the horses as they are sent out and brought
in from work; as they are treated when
sick: as they are fed and cared for.
All the work of this league has been con-
ceived and developed along exceedingly real
and practical lines, and the fame of it has
gone abroad. Appeals from different parts
of the country for its extension have been
constantly received until II feels that il can
no longer decline them. 1t has, therefore,
started out to raise $4,000 to supplement its
present income, for the purpose of publish
ing more literature, organizing more chap
tiers and employing more salaried directors
for cha piers in and outside of New York
Mrs Myles Standish is president and
George II. Guy secretary of the league. Its
offices are at No 2S7 Fourth avenue.

The servant led him TO Mr.. Carruthers's
study and went TO inform his master of his
arrival In a minute or twos time Mr.. Car
ruthers entered the room. and with quick
~ beating heart the young man made his
confession. and stated modestly but fairly
confidently what his pecuniary prospects
were. and then waited for Mr.. Carrutherss
reply.
For a minute or two after Steer spoke
there was silence. Then Mr.. Carruthers
said. fixing those odd brilliant eyes upon
the young mans face: 81 am very sorry TO
hear this, Mr.. Steer, very sorry, both for
your sake and for the sake of my poor
niece. Marriage for her. alas, is out of the
question. Surely. Mr.. Steer you, who will
have observed her closely, cannot have
failed TO notice her strange manner at
times?'
Laurence Steer grew pale. What do you
mean 10 imply Mr.. Carruthers?" ne asked.
striving TO speak calmly.
Mr. Carruthers sighed. This is. indeed,
a painful subject to me, but is it possible,
Mr. Steer, you have not seen that my poor
niece is at times not herself-that, in fact,
her mind is at times unhinged?"
'Unhingedr' said Steer. hoarsely. Then
81 don't believe it." he said, defiantly "She
is shut up here with you alone. She has no
other companions. No wonder she becomes
little morbid at times; but L could swear
her brain is clear yours or mine"
1T is only natural that you should wish
TO think so.' said Mr.. Carruthers, and
Laurence Steer could not resist the fancy
that there was a note of triumph in his
voice. Therefore, painful though it is to
me, / cannot but in fairness to you and
TO myself verify the statement I have
made. l suppose. Mr.. Steer, if you saw my
niece in one of her worst attacks. when

ance. you would then believe in the truth
of the sad and terrible affliction?"
Dreading what was to come. but feeling
the suspense too awful to be borne, Steer
assented
