Animals in Winter Quarters.

Many animals, like squirrels, dor
mice and hamsters. lay up supplies
.of food in their winter quarters, on
which they feed during waking inter
walls in the torpor, so that the fast Is
by no means so prolonged or so con-
tinuous. They are, however, yet other
animals, such as bats among NAM
mails, frogs and toads among amphib-
ians. and the west African lung fish
among fishes, which apparently
neither put on fat nor lay up store
of food during their period of torpor;
which in the case of all OF them IS
unusually prolonged. In

Ballad Of the Beach.
"a rollers wllitened,

The long sea rollers wlitened.
Surged with their endless roar,
Then broke like armies frightened
Upon the shingly shore.
Rolling our feet before
Their spume upon the sand
Where, in those days of yore,
We twain sat hand in hand!
The 1.-THE, soft fingers frightened
And. at the touch, once more
The wide horizon frightened
With promise that it bore:
What visions, dreams galore,
What airy castles planned,
Old memories restore!
We twain sat hand in hand!
The chaperon had lightened
Her dreary watching sore;
SO. while the tide wave heightened,
The evening slowly wore,
The suns last rays were Ger
The ocean and the land,
And night began to lower.
We twain sat hand in hand.
Go ballad, to her door.
Before my lady stand!
My heart again implore-
We twain sat hand In hand!

despicable slanderer learned the fact
that Milton, SO far from answering to
this description, was of pleasing and

changed his tactics and began to at.
tack his moral character-which, as
even Millions bitterest political enc
mics knew, was austerely above the

CHAPTER III.
Her Learning.

Her Learning.
Dolores was sitting on the door
steps one evening. Her father was at
the tavern as usual, and as her house
hold duties were finished she sat In
the mellow moonlight that flooded the
mountain with radiance. She was no
longer listless. Her lips were parted;
her eyes larger and darker than usual;
her face, raised to the starry heavens,
was full of light. On her knees lay
an old astronomy, and one slender
finger marked the place OF her read
ing.
She was lost to herself and her sur
roundings; she did not hear the heavy
footsteps approaching along the mar
row path she saw nothing until
rough hand pulled the book from undel
her fingers. A deep oath smote this
air.
Curse yet" her father muttered, be
tween his clenched teeth. Curse EN-
as invented books an learnin'! The
