to cross the Johnsons' pasture, where
rattlesnakes had been seen recently.
Barbara went briskly toward the
woods with a feeling that cn such
day it was indeed good to be alive
Well down the road she passed the

who regarded her with a steadiness of
gaze decidedly disconcerting. AS she
looked up he bowed gravely.
"Good morning, Princess Louise" lie
said in a cheerful voice. REALLY de-
lightful morning, isn't itf"
Barbara's mouth curved scornfully.
ThAa, ali ut once. the truth flashed up
on her. This man before her was n
strayed inmate of the insane pavilion.
Her eyes opened wide in alarm and
made her doubly charming-at least so
thought the young man with Il keen
sense Of pity.
"Charming spot here,' he went on
easily. Let me congratulate you OIL
your choice"
Barbara's heart was beating wildly
The man might be dangerous, and she
was at his mercy. She remembered
she had heard somewhere 1t was best
and safest to humor lunatics. So.

faced the intruder with as much con.

ANIMAL STRIKERS.
Both Birds and Beasts 0ccasiOnall;
Refuse to Work.

Both Bfrds ana Beasts OccasfOnall9
Refuse to Work.
Both birds and beasts occasionally go
on strike, according to observers. A
herd of horses will bunch together, neg
lect their food, become restive neigh
and rub noses when in a field. The
outcome is that the herd will not allow
themselves 10 be saddled or harnessed
and will chase and attempt to kick the
attendants. Female birds take tan.
trums and refuse to do the housework.
They desert their nests and leave their
eggs to become cold and barren. The
male naturally becomes greatly con-
cerned, but with the bird and beast
creation the male will never attack the
female so there is no remedy. War
blers and starlings are given greatly to
these strikes.
A species of black ants have little
yellow ants which do most of their
work for them. Occasionally the ye-
low species will go on strike. Their
food supply is cut off, but If that does
not avail the strikers are attacked or
another lot of yellow ants are secured.
Even the rabbit is hardened strik-
er. In rabbit colonies the stronger rab-
bits do most of the bufrowing, and as
often as perhaps once in two years
these become discontinued and refuse
to work.
