Pussy Willows.

A little girl recently saw some pussy
willows for the first time. The teacher
who showed them to her was so ia
miliar with them herself that she as
sumed the child must know how they
grew and so merely said.
See what soft little gray fur coats
they have on"
Yes" returned the girl, stroking
them laconically.
And see how pink some of them
are" went on the teacher enthusias
tically, much disappointed that the
child should say SO little.
Yes" murmured the girl again
Feeling the little wait was not much
Interested the teacher turned 10 60
away, when, to her surprise, her lis
tener caught her by the dress, whis-
perlng eagerly:
"If I'll bring you a straight, brown
twig tomorrow will you make some
more of those little fur things and
stick 'em on miner"

 'To the extent of recovering or att tempting to recover the papers which were stolen from the Baron de Rothe. ?

I went among them making careful inquiries about Phyllis Poynton and her brother. They were like men struck dumb. Their mouths were closed like rat traps. The mention of either the boy or the girl seemed to change them as though like magic from pleasant. talka- tive men and women, very eager to make the best of their little bit of in- formation. Into surly idiots. incapable of understanding or answering the slightest question. It was the most extraordinary experience I have ever come across"
 Duncombe was breathlessly inter- ested.

I am bound to admit that there Is a certain amount of fascina- ton 10 me in the contemplation of any such thing.

He entrust. ed the paper or letter, or whatever 1t was, he stole from De Rothe's mes. senger. to his so called daughter, and she in her turn passed it on to me. It Is at this moment in my possession"
 Spencer looked very serious.
