intently at a magnificent carriage swiftly
disappearing down the street He had
himself travelled in a carriage like that
four years ago. but now he was Obliged
to travel on a few pieces of leather that

denly awakened from his revery by a
voice beside hiIn-'My boy YOU look as

lived there all his life, and as he grew

Such faith was Impressive. Besides,
/ began to think that this invitation
was not one to be lightly declined.
Giuseppe was evidently going to do
mething-probably something dra-
matte. Already his story as he
seemed to divine-had taken hold on
my imagination: here was a chance to
be present at what might prove to be
its climax.
I interposed but one more objection.
Although the book indicated in a gen.
eral way the parts of the city in which
the pictures had been taken, there was
nothing in 1t to reveal the exact locali-
ties. 1t seemed to me that II might

Signs Of Spring

When the days grow longer. and the
sun sets later, We have the first signs OF
spring. Little streams are seen trickllns
along from numerous sources. the ground
thaws. and 1t is very muddy. And In
place of these brooSlets are miniature
ponds Some spring days are bright and
sunny, others foggy and chilly. The re-
viYing streams are running over sticks and
stones, and around the messy roots Of aged
oaks. The crocus is now in bloom on
various sunny slopes. In the swamps and
marshes the pussy willow. marsh mari
gold and violet are in blossom. The vio-
let Is also found among the mayhOwers,
and others. Later in the spring come the
singing; yes all nature Is rejoicing. Those
are the few signs OF spring that I have
room to mention. Ethel Lee.
