How Farmer Glover Fed a Flock Dag
After Day for Six Weeks.

How Farmer Glover Fed a Flock Day
After Day for Six Weeks.
One cold morning Farmer Glover
stood in the rear Of the barn, fork in
hand, looking out over the fields. Snow
storm had followed snowstorm, until
the stone walls were so covered that
the farm seemed like a great field. with
here and there a small grove to break
the monotony. The cattle had been
fed and each animal was munchlng
contentedly at its pile of hay In the
sunshine, scattering chaff over the
snowy barnyard.
Suddenly, from the light woods near
the barn, came a startled "Bob-whitev'
Immediately there was an answering
call from the woods across the fields,
and then another and another, and
soon a flock Of about twenty quail
alighted cautiously on the ground, two
or three rods from where Mr.. Glover
stood, and began picking up the seeds
from the hay which the cattle had
strewn over the snow. They scratched
about like flock of hens, and appar-
emily quite as much at home, and
chlrped away while they worked, after
the fashion of tree sparrows in the
weeds down by the brook
Farmer Glover was careful not to
brighten his woodland guests, and the
next morning he put out wheat for
them and threw handfuls Of chaff in
the hay which the cattle had left. The
flock returned again and again, until
feeding the quails has become as much
a part of the days routine as looking
after the hens and turkeys. One cold
morning after they had eaten, the
kind-hearted farmer found the whole
flock huddled together under the hay,
apparently enjoying the warmth.
Strange to say, they never come for
their food when 1t SHOWS or rains
When they have breakfasted, unless
frightened, they usually walk away to
their favorits haunts in the grove
across the fields. They never alight
on the trees, but occasionally perch on
the rail fence. Once or twice. when
no one was In sight, they came near
the house.
For six weeks the quails enjoyed
Farmer Glover's bounty. When spring
opens their kind-hearted protector
meets them only in the fields and
woods; but whenever bob-white's mu-
steal call comes over the summer
meadows it brings pleasant memories
of those winter breakfasts in tho
snowy barnyard.-St. Nicholas.

HAVE SURRENDERED TO GOVERN.
MEkT OF ROUMANIA.
The Battleshlp Kniaz Potemkine has
Been Formally Transferred to Rus
sian Navy-All Supplies Had Been
Exhausted-Everything Portable OF
Value Had Been Carried Away.

Kusteni. July 11.-Following orders
received from the Roumanian govern
ment. the Kniaz Potemkine has been
formally transferred TO the Russian
navy. Admiral Kruger sent a nag
lieutenant on board the vessel and no.
tined the officer in command that he
was ready to transfer the Russian
crew TO the battlesnip. This was done,
the Roumanian flag hauled down and
the Russian hoisted after the usual sa-
lutes had been fired.
An inspection of the vessel revealed
everything in the widest confusion.
All OF the supplies had beer exhaust
ed the officers cabins had en- looted,
the money taken from the ships strong
box and everything portable OF value
carried away.
For the last three days the vessel
has been navigated by sublieutenant'
who was kept at his post by a guard
with a revolver at his head. 1t Is de-
clared that all of the mutineers want
ed to surrender at Odessa. but that
they had been cowed by their leader,
MatuschanlSo. who knew that If he
was captured by the Russians he
would be promptly hanged.
The crew of the Potemkine was sent
into the interior today and the mutt
neers were given an enthusiastic re-
ception.
Seven officers were prisoners aboard

pitiable condition from i'll treatment
They declare that Matuschenko him
self killed 10 officers of the battle
ship.
All Papers Destroyed.
All the papers and books belonging
to the vessel were destroyed.
1t appears that the decision to sur
render the Kniaz Potemkine was made
when it became evident that no othel
vessels would join in the mutiny. The
crew of the battleship seemed to b'
unaware of the surrender of thu

But tonight Audrey haunted him.

Audrey came to him in dreams that

was he consciously selfish.
He parted with Diana and walked
homeward. 1t was a time of roses.
The roses in flower shop caught his
attention. They filed the window.
He found himself in the shop. He
had been attracted by red roses, yet
in the end it was white roses he chose.
