The gate was open and in the long
shaded path between wonderful
bushes of blooming roses, the form of
a white clad woman fingered.
1t was very still; hardly a leaf
stirred; the air was hot and heavy.
The man at the open gate paused be-
fore entering and drew the gate shut.
The woman turned at the sound and
faced the man. A look of swift rec
ognition flashed between them, but for
some reason it was not openly
acknowledged by either. Then there
eEsued a strained silence, broken at
last by the woman's voice, soft, low
and vibrant, truly a voice none could
hear and not heed.
You are seeking the Prospects per-
haps?" she asked slowly.
"Yes-yes-" he hesitated.

81 thought this country too hi11y

see, l am seeking rest and absolute
quiet, and l am so sorry, but l fear
that I will have little inclination to
receive callers, but am grateful. And
now you will pardon me?'' She waited
for him to turn and go and this he
started to do without word.
At the gate he stopped and wheeled
round. look of determination came
into his face and the woman knew
instantly the situation that she would
undoubtedly have to cope with, and a
fear trembled in her heart, but she
met his eyes without a visible sign

cried, leaping after her and grasping
her arm tightly.

every nerve; well, what have you to
say? Did you leave any other path
open to me? Was there anything else
to do? Say what you have to say and
say it quickly
why couldn't you be satisfied
Wasn't the allowance enough?" he
asked.
At these words spoken close tt
her ears. the woman broke away from
him and putting her hands to hel

And 1t was explained that this was

FEEDING PETS OF THE zoo.
Plentiful and Varied Supply Of Eat
ables Required,


Catering to animals requires both a
plentiful and varied supply of foods,
as can be seen from this report of ma.
terial used at the London geological
Gardens last year. For the flesh-eat'
ing animals there were supplied 144
tons of horse flesh, and nearly nine
tons of goat flesh. and $3.50 chicken
heads. Fourteen and a half tons of
fish, In addition TO 1890 pints Of
shrimps, furnished the waterfowl with
their dairy fare, while 297 loads Of
hay and 6030 lunches of green's sup
piled the ruminants. Other items on
the list were 972 pounds of grapes, 49S
pounds of sugar, 6,262 loaves of bread,
S,OS6 quarts of milk. 303 pounds OF
crackers, and more than $4,000 eggs.
The chicken heads were for the men,
bers of the rat family, the eggs for
the birds and the shrimps formed the
easiest way TO the affections of the
flamingoes.

as Incubator.
Alonzo Murphy of Pochuck, Pa, cap
tured a swapping turtle recently which
his wife made into soup. The family
cat was given portion of the carcass
and a number of eggs, which were
found in the reptile.
Soon after the cat died. While Mr..
Murphy was burying the animal the
fur at the stomach parted and eleven
small turtles emerged one after the
other.
Mr.. Murphy's theory is that the cat
had swallowed the turtle eggs whole
and, being unable to digest them on
account of the shells, the stomach OF
the cat acted as an incubator and
Matched the eggs.
Then the young turtles clawed and
bit their way to freedom, killing the
