! |S0SEl{ it is polite to send her flowers
Ezz4SJ next day. Rejecting upon
this matter while eating my morning
meal, it came into my mind that there
might be florists garden somewhere
in that region. Indeed I seemed to re-
member the shining roof of green
house beside the road from the city.
After breakfast sought information
Of Jimmy, who was sitting in a corner
of the principal Witherspoon porch and
staring at nothing with the air of one
who understood it perfectly, who knew
why it was nothing and could create
! it out Of something whenever the uni
verse should run short
"A place where you can buy flowers ?"
said Jimmy. ''M-m-m."
He had caught this sound from Mrs.
Witherspoon and had modified it in
accord with his own nature. AS ut
tered by him and accompanied by slow
holding of the head it meant: $50 this
man wants to buy flowers? Well, well!
This is just what expected
There's two or three of them around
here" said he. cpl think which is the
best. I've got to go into the house now,
but I'll be right back Will YOU be
here?'
In an earlier stage of my acquaint-
ance with Jimmy I should have &C.
cepted this statement at it's face value;
but, having gained knowledge of his
methods, l perceived the truth, which
was that he had no idea where there
was florist, and was going into the
house to find some one who could en-
tighten him. It was immaterial to me,
SO sat down in the porch to wait for
him. Half a dozen of the boarders
came out while I was there, more in
deed than had ever encountered be-
tore In so short a space Of time. Among
| them was the blue eyed girl who sat in
my part of the dining room, though
rarely when [ was there, for the With
| erspoon bOarders differed remarkably
In their gastronomic habits. She had
shawl, sun umbrella and a portly
volume, which was the Life and Let
tiers" of somebody whose name my eye
did not make out, probably because
had never heard Of him.
In spite Of her somber taste in liter
ature, it seemed to me that the girl
might yet be saved, for she gave me
very human glance out of the corners
Of her pretty eyes as she went past. 1
was vaguely wondering what that
/ glance would have done to me if had
not been SO deeply interested in two
other girls, or possibly three, as Sibyl
might not be the orchard nymph-four,
indeed, counting Miss Jones, who was
almost certainly the prettiest Of all
when there was a sound of footsteps in
the hall and Mrs. Witherspoon appear
ed with her niece.
The lady of the house did not pause,
but pursued her way to the garden,
rarrying the enormous tin pan in which
she gathered for our delectation the
finest vegetables ever grown on earth.
Lucy Ann, however, was not upon the
same errand, and succeeded in detain-
Ing her.
MY goodness she exclaimed when
had asked her about the florist.
"What do you want to buy flowers for?
The prettiest roses that ever you saw
grow right around here"
'But you can't get American Beau
ties and that sort Of thing l objected.

4"1HE north wind was gaining

!6MS55NI The orchard was a mass of
Szey tossing boughs as I looked
down upon it from my window. Those
trees must have been planted by an in
sp1red geometrician, for the design was
such that whatever point Of observa-
ton might be selected there was al
ways one tree, and only one, between
the observer and the lodge. 1t seemed
perfectly easy to move a little way and
get clear view, but at the precise in.

the line of vision another interposed,
The branches hung low, and the lodge
was on hummock, so that waving
green veil always fluttered before it.
Ihere was no strong temptation to
look that way, for Miss SCOTS side of
the lodge was the nearer to the house,
and Miss Scott, by all accounts. was

PLANTS HAVE HYSTERIA.
Certain Species Have Nerves That Are as Sensitive as Those ~
 of Human Beings.

Science claims to have discovered that plants have nerves. and that some species are irritable and nervous to a marked degree. The peculiar phenom- ena are not new, for the poets have sung of the sensitive plants plaintive actions when played upon by the rough wind and of the fnimosa' $ fright when crushed or broken by some strange foot; but these were supposed to be merely fig ures of speech, and no one believed that the song makers had such insight as to discover that plant organisms were gift ed with nerve centers and brain cells. Science has worked out the fact, how ever, says the New York Times, that the poets were nearer the truth than we gave them credit for and that certain species Of our common woodland growths possess nerves that can be played upon by the east wind as readily as those which aff1iet mankind The sensitive plant leads all others in this respect. But what we considered innate modesty at being handled is nothing more than irritable nerves. The genus Mimosa comprises about 200 species, and most of these exhibit peculiarly iT- ritable natures if touched or handled in the wrong way. The Mimosa pudica, the botanical name for the sensitive plant, is so highly organized that 1t is kept in a state of neurasthenia most of the time. A puff of wind, the tFampi1g of heavy feet near 1t, or the rude touch of the hand, will cause this plant to go off into nervous mysteries. The exciting noise or commotion strikes the nerves of the plant and causes it to close up or droop its leaves. Hundreds of sensitive plants have been diagnosed in the modern bio- logical laboratories, and the observers of the plants have traced the nerve centers to their foundation.
 Tn some of the plants the ends of the nerves have been located. Thus If Mi mosa pudica is touched with ever So fine point at the base of pima or along its axis, the most remote pair of leaves will shivsr and begin to close. Finally, when all the leaves have closed, the pima which has been touched will droop. The shock has been so great that the whole nervous system has been temporarily disarranged. However, like all nervous, irritable people, there is point beyond which fright reacts and control of the system begins to mani fest itself If the sensitive plant is shaken for some time it gets over it's attack of neurasthenia and some of the leaves will begin to open again.
 The most sensitive place of the plant is at the base of the secondary leaf stalks, where an immense number of nervous corpuscles or delicate tissues are located.
