as some old scholar read Latin, Melapus:
With love exceeding simple love of the things
That glide in grasses and rubbe of woody wreck;

This translation seemed entirely satisfactory to
Eva, and she made me repeat it several times, SO
that with her rapaclOuS baby memory she might
get it by heart. She presently disconnected me-
however, by asking me to tell her what that other
bird on the bough there saying
1t doesn't sound the the other, she
said, meant in more babylike words. (The real

With almost as much caution though Eva's
imaginations likely to be realized and some
winged dragon snorting flame was ready to leap
out upon us, | removed the stone and peered
int the tiny dungeon, Eva standing at my side,
her blue eyes serious with expectancy. Yes,
my prisoner still there Apparently he had
not moved since had shut him in, and his small
wicked eyes cleaned at with concentrated

pen knife and forced open his cruel mouth, that
Eva could see his evil forked tongue. Then
let him go back into his bottle: and dropped green
leaves down to him, that he might feel COM
Portable, and looked about for beetles and such
small insects thought might appeal to his
appetite and console him for his captivity But
these attentions he received with sulen indifference.
Whether it was that he was too angry to eat
that we had made a mistake in his diet, our limit
ed knowledge of natural history did not enable
to decide.
Nor left much time to consider;
for suddenly we knelt together side by side
the grass, our eyes intent on our captive and the
alarmed scrambling of the various small insects
tumbling each other to get out of his way we
heard voice behind us.
Aren't you ashamed of yourseves?" the voice
said.
Eva and l looked at each other. 1t was her
mothers voice We were caught In our hearts
we were not in the least ashamed: but we bent our
heads IN mock penltence, pretending that we were
afraid to look up
Really don't know which is the biggest baby"
the voice continued, with direct personal appca-
Then Eva and l took courage and looked up into
the bluebell eyes above and all three of broke
into laughter.

the necessity of impressing Eva but this is very

Eva was brick and didn't give me away She
kept set little face of respectful rebellion, imper
turbabe, unapologetic. She wasn't going to be-
tray
Really it not her fault" said shamefacedly;
it was all mine Punish me, if you must but not
her. And then we laughed again.
What you going to do with this poor beast
here: asked Eva mother, pointing to the glass jar.
Let him CO. suppose" 1 said
| saw Eva's eyes light up for a moment, There
just one last bit of fun left before she must
return to the humdrum of the nursery.
So then took the lid from the jar, and presently
the adder, shifting the air, stole cautiously out
the grass, and then at length, realizing that
he really at liberty, flashed his way from
our sight into the underbrush with the JOY of
all natural things at being free once mora
bird released from his cage, happy fish thrown
back into the stream. The beetles and the various
other bugs seemed no less to appreciate their
freedom
Alas! it was poor Eva's turn to go back into cap
tvity Mine too, for my desk gloomed there in
side. We gave each other parting look as her
mother took her off down the wood. So two exiles
condemned to Siberia might exchange glances of
sympathy. But all the same we had had good
time, and we both knew that in spite of all law and
authority we intended to have many more up there

Save Money by Buying Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy.

You will pay just as much for a
bottle Of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy as for any of the other
cough medicines, but you save
money by buying it. The saving
is in what you get, not what you
pay. The sure-to-cure-you quail
ity is in every bottle of this reme-
dy, and you get good results when
you take it. Buying a cough reme-
dy is an important matter. Neg
lected colds often develop serious
conditions, and when you buy a
cough remedy you want to be sure
you are getting one that will cure
your cold. When you buy Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy you take
no chances. It always cures. Price
