ENGLISH PLEASURE GARDENS.
Magnificent Heritage of the Tudor
Period That Is Admirably
Maintained.

English gardens are distinguished
from those of continental Europe
because they have had a continuou;
existence and history since Tudor

best late in the sixteenth and early
in the seventeenth century; but
thereafter they declined just as all

During the eighteenth century the
local and cardinal princes maintained

ones; and during the nineteenth cen.

cial and economic conditions have
not favored in France the laying out
of new and elaborate gardens. Such
gardeAs are luxury, to be enjoyed
only by the very rich, and French
wealth tends to be distributed rather
than concentrated. Moreover, French
people, while they love the country
and delight in flowers, are so social
that the characteristic expressions of
their modern life are urban. They
fave made Paris a park, but individ-
ual Frenchmen have not indulged in
elaborate formal gardens for their
personal pleasure. In England other
conditions have prevailed. Ever since
Tudor'stime there have been resident
on the soil an energetic and efficient
aristocracy and landed gentry, who
were to a greater or lesser extent
the real leaders of the country. They
have for the most part been prosper
Gus and progressive, living on their
estates and adapting their social
habits to country life. Consequently
throughout the whole of this time

new ones built; new ideas and infu.

of gardens. There is no parallel in
England to the partial decay and
ruin of the great Italian and French
gardens (for Versailles has not been

or improve, or they destroy. 1t is
true that their improvements are

of Italians; but it is at least the evil

AUCTION BY CANDLE LIGHT.
An Ancient Custom Stiu In Vogue
Among the People of Dorset
shire, England.

The discovery that there still ex-
lists in Dorsetshire, England, an an
cient custom of holding an auction
by candlelight has directed attention
to the fact that Warwickshire can
also lay claim to this quaint relic OF
bygone days. Mr.. George Morley, in
his book on 'Shakespeare's Green
wood" says that not far from the
field where the crown of Richard the
Third is said to have been hidden
after the battle of Bosworth Field,
an auction by candlelight takes place
every year. At one of the two inns
in the parish of Warton, an auction
is held each October for the sale of
grazing rights on the roadside and
common lands of the village, and the
sale, which for hundred years and
more has been the annual event
which makes life in Wharton inter-
esting, is conducted by the road sur
veyor under regulations laid down in
an act of parliament. Five lots are
let for the year at each auction sale,
and the tallow candle, Mr.. Morley
tells us, is ''cut into five lengths half
an inch high, each half-inch of candle
being for one lot. Then the road
surveyor proceeds to describe the
lots. This is highly amusing in its
way, for the promotion to the post
of honor in the sale usually inspires
the road surveyor with q pretty wit;
and he aliudes quite gayly to the
sporting rights over an old gravel
pit and to the pond in lot ], which
has no fish in it, and concludes with
the eyhortation; "Get on, gentle
men, please; the lights burning"
But the eyes of the company are at
tracted to the flame of the candle.
1t is something to watch, something
to make jests upon. And yet the
company show not the slightest dis
p9sition to bid fer the herhage un-
til the eapdlelight is dying out. Then
the competition is remarkably brisk.
and at the last flicker of the flame
the lot is knocked down amid roars
of laughter.

MIGRATIoNs OF SQUIRRELS.
The Little Climbers Travel in Large
ROdies and Are Not EASILY
Turned Aside.

The remarkable migrations per-
formed at times by squirrels consti-
tute a most interesting feature in
their history, says a writer in For
est and Stream. They congregate
in the autumn in immense numbers
and move off in the same general di-
rection, not turning aside for the
largest streams, though usually
averse to water. DIR. John A. Kenni-
colt relates that during one of these
migrations innumerable squirrels
swan across the Niagara near Buff
falo, N. Y, landing so exhausted as
to be easily taken by hand or
knocked down with sticks. Mr.. Ken
nicott has the following notes in re-
gard to these migrations:
''The reason for these migrations is
not satisfactorily explained. That
they are caused by the want of food
is hardly probable, as the squirrels
are found to be fat at the time and
as often leave localities abounding
with food as otherwise. After one
Of these grand migrations, very few
of the species are found in the To-
calities from which they have moved,
and these, as if alarmed at the un-
usual solitude, are silent and shy.
They rapidly increase in numbers,
however, and in few years they are
as abundant as before. 1 am not
aware that they ever migrate ex-
cept when exceedingly abundant. OF
these immense hordes but few sur
vive. No sudden Increase in their
numbers was heard of in southern
Wisconsin after the several migra-
tions from northern Illinois. MANY
are drowned in attempting to GROSS
streams; not few are destroyed by
man; some die from utter exhaus-
tion and when forced to travel in an
unnatural manner, upon the ground,
they fall an easy prey to rapacious
birds and mammals, all of which
feast when the squirrels migrate.
II learn from DR., Hoy that one
of these migrations Is said to have
taken place In 1912; he witnessed an
other in 1S47 and third in 1852 He
further says that the migratiops oh
served by him in southern Wisconsin
occurred when the mast was exceed
inglY abundant and the squirrels in
good condition. Near Racine thev
were observed passing southwaFd IN
very large numbers for about two
weeks, at the end of September and
the beginning of October, and it was
month before all had passed. They
moved along rather leisurely, stop
ping to feed in the fields, and upon
the abundant nuts and acorns of the
forests, So far had they departed
from their accustomed habits that
they were seen on the prairie, four
or five miles from any timber; but
even there, as usual, they disRked
to travel on the ground and ran along
fences wherever 1t was possible"

How was she to live without Norman
her knight. her husband, her Norman7
What were those petty differences be-
side the sound of his tender voice and
the clasp of his strong arm?
Suddenly wave of wild wrath up
rose in her like consuming flame.
Luckily she had not cried out. Perhaps
the man had not seen her or deemed
that she had not seen him. The little
revolver which Norman had taught her
to use was in the top drawer of her
chiffonier. Silently she began a pur-
poseful retreat, her face turned toward
her unseen enemy, her cars wary. 1t
was the retreat of a t1gress bereft
that seeks but vantage point for a
furious leap. Vengeance, not safety,
was her end.
Although while thinking Page had
been listening, listening to apprehend
the least indication of the where
abouts of his mysterious opponent, he
had heard nothing save the dash Of the
drops. The silence was brimming with
possibilities. He must not open the
door, for this would betray him, The
night covered him like velvet pail,
and, shrouded in his red robe, he was
as invisible as was his antagonist.
Doubtless the other also was listen
ing, peering, planning. Was he steal
ing nearer and nearer until he might
grapple, or was he croucEing, prepared
to shoot as soon as his senses should
guide him ever so little? Amid the
storm a pistol shot would spread
abroad no alarm.
Page fancied that he could detect the
gradual approach of his ruthless foe.
His faculties were concentrated until
it seemed that his head must crack
from the stress,
The effort was futile.
Oh, for chance to put himself upon
an equal footing! Only give him some
thing with which to kill, kill, kill! His
heavy cane was in the opposite corner.
A fierce longing to clutch it possessed
him,
He started to withdraw his fingers
