half-hidden by the fiickering shadows of the torches. A deep cloak fell back from her shoulders. It might have been the light fabric of the aborigine. Upon the foot of Mary Connynge, twinkling in and out as she walked, showed the crudely garnished little shoe of the Indian princess over seas, dainty, bizarre, singular, covering the smallest foot in all London town.
 By all the saints!" Law was saying, 'tyou might be the very maker of this little slipper yourself. have won the 40 crowns, I swear! Perforce, I'll leave them to you in my will.
 The shock of the light speech made even Mary Connynge vince. For the moment she averted her eyes from the handsome face above her. She looked, and saw what gave her greater shock. Law, too, stared, as her own startled gaze grew fixed He advanced close to the gate, only to start back in a horror of surprise which racked even his steeled composure.
 . Madam" he cried; and then, Cath arine!''
 Catharine Knollys made no answer to him, though she looked straight and calmly into his face, seeming not in the ! least to see the woman near him. Her eyes were wide and shining. Sir" said she, keep fast to, Hope! This was fon Faith, and for Love!"
 The jailer with one quick gesture swung wide the gate. Haste, haste!" he cried. Quick and begone! This night may mean my ruin! Get ye gone, all of ye. and give me time to think. Out with ye all, for must lock the gate!"
 John Law passed as one stupefied, the slender form of Mary Connynge still upon his arm. Hands of men hur- ried them. Quick! Into the car riage!" one cried.
 And now the sounds of feet and voices approaching along the corridor were heard. The jailer swiftly swung the heavy gate to and locked it. Cath arine Knollys caught his last gesture. which bade her begone as fast as might be. Her feet were strangely heavy, in spite of her. She reached the curb in time to hear only the whir of wheels as carriage sped away over the stones of the street She stood | alone, irresolute for half an instant as the crunch of wheels spun up to the curb again. A hand reached out and 1 beckoned; involuntarily she obeyed the l summons. Her wrist was seized, and she was half pulled through the door ! of the carriage
 What" cried a voice. You, Lady l Catharine. Why, how is this?'' It was the voice of Will Law, whom l she knew, but who certainly was not the one who had brought her hither. l The Lady Catharine accepted this last l situation as one no longer able to req
 son. She sank down in the carriage seat, shivering.

 she nad been admitted without de- mur as far as this point, and even now her coming seemed not altogether a matter of surprise. The burly turn key at the last door stood ready to meet her. With loud commands. he drove out of the corridor the crowd of prison attendants He approached Lady Catharine, hat in hand and bow ing deeply. "I presume you are the man whom would see," said she, faintly. almost unequal to the task imposed upon her.
 Aye. madam, I doubt not, with my best worship for you
 'I was to come'-said Lady Cath arine. .I was to speak to you"
 Aye" replied the turnkey. 'tYou were to come, and you were to speak And now, what were you to say to me? Was there no given word?''
 There was such word," she said You will understand. It is in the mat ter of MT. Law"
 True" said the turnkey 'But I 7~'rst have the countersign There are heads to lose in this, yours and mine, if there be mistake
 Lady Catharine raised her head proudly. Tt was for Faith said she, for Love, and for Hope! These were the words
 Saying which, as though she had called to her aid the last atom of her strength. she staggered back and half fell against the wall near the inner gate. The rude jailer sprang forward to steady her.
 Yes, yes,' he whispered, eagerly. Tis all proper. These be the words. Pray you, have courage, lady,
 There came into the corridor a mur- mur of voices, and there was audible also the sound of mans footballs ap- preaching along the flags. Catharine gate which the turnkey was already beginning to throw open for her. She looked, and there appeared upon her vision sight which caused her heart to stop, which confounded all her req son. From a side door there advanced John Law, magnificently clad, walking now as though he trod the floor of some great hall or banquet room. The woman waiting without the gate reached out her arms. She would have cried aloud. Then she fell back against the wall, whereat had she not grasped she must have sunk down to the floor Upon the arm of John Law, and look ing up to him as she walked, there hung the clinging figure of woman,

 Constable Cruickshank said that when he saw the child she cackled and crowed like the fowls, and finally strut ted around the yard half dozen times, each time crawling under low bush. Then she spared up to a rooster, just as another rooster would have done.
 Margaret Johnson, nurse attached to the benevolent asylum at Quebec. to which the child was taken by the po- lice, said that for two or three days after the child was admitted to the institu- tion she would not speak at all, but .crowed and cackled and strutted around the room like bantam. When put tos bed she would not lie down like an ardi-S nary child, but perched herself on tho. end of her cot as the fowls roost.

The Custard. Apple.

The cherimoyer is native of Peru, South America. The fruit is of heart shape, about the size of an orange, rus ty bronze color outside and of the color and consistency of custard inside. The flavor is delicious, combining that of the strawberry and banana. The trees are 10 or Is feet high, and bloom in August and September, ripening in De- cember. The trees growing in southern California look good and healthy. but the fruit is scattering and not very pIen-a tiful.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

THE Tribune Fresh AIR Fund was the FIRST
movement OF the kind IN the country Every
other one. here or elsewhere, has been started
after or IN imitation OF this pioneer The Tribune
cordially welcomes all colaborers In the field
but without wishing 10 deprecate in the least
the work OF others thinks it its duty TO remind
readers that The Tribune Fresh Air Fund is so
far as known, the only in which absolutely
every dollar contributed by the public goes
directly to the work Of sending a poor child to
the country, keeping him there for two weeks
and bringing him back again Every 50 insures
such a vacation TO at least child. There
have been years in which. owing to the magni-
tude of the operations Of The Tribune Fresh Air
Fund such result was insured by every 50 30.
No collectors are ever employed. and all ColleC-
tions made for IL are purely voluntary All X
penses for organization. agents and the general
machinery of the charity privately betrayed
10y The Tribune itself and by the trustees of the
fund. There are no percentages to collectors to
come out OF the contributions of the public, and
no payments to agents, manager, secretary or
others. Every dollar goes straight to the benefit
a a child
