Land Crabs of the west indies.

In the West Indies is found species
Of land crab which lives Il considerable
distance from water. but once year
migrateS to the seashore in order to
spawn. AS soon as the crab reaches
the beach 1T eagerly goes to the edge
of the water and lets the waves roll
over its body TO wash off the spawn.
The eggs are Matched under the sand,
and soon after millions of the newborn
crabs are seen quitting the shore and
slowly travelling up the mountains. The
yearly migrations of the old crabs are
among the wonders of animal life In
going down the crabs of large region
seem to select certain rendezvous,
and there they gather In countless
numbers. The procession. which is
commonly divided into battalions, with
the strongest in front, sets forward
with the precision of an army In trav-
cling they turn neither to the right nor
left. Even II they meet house they
will try TO scale 1t. The night Is their
chief time of travelling, but IL it rains
by day they improve that occasion.

The Longwoods had just moved to
Glendale after generations of residence
in Lexington. When Miss Mathilde
found out that they were there and not
only going to live in the same town
with herself, but as close neighbors,
she began to hustle about and make
hospitable preparations for receiving
them in her own home.
Twenty years ago, when Mathilde
Wesley was girl in her teens, she,
too. with her mother, father, sisters
and brother, had lived in Lexington,
and the Longwoods and Westleys were
like twin families. But one by one the
parents and sisters had passed away,
leaving Miss Mathilde and her brother
sole survivors After few years of
dreary lingering in the old home they
had drifted to Glendale, where Jake
Wesley had built up fiourishing lit
tie mercantile business.
A little later had come also the Pea
bodys and pitched their tent just across
the street from the Westleys' pretty,
rose sheathed cottage. But for this cir
cumstance Miss Mathilde might have
been eontented, even fairly happy. Her
life was full Of congenial. healthy tasks
which she performed with as much
cheerfulness as she did thoroughness,
each day standing forth as its OWL
bright monument of reward.
II only there had never been Rus
sell Peabody! Every day for fourteen
years she had been forced to see him
three times, four, sometimes five, as he
passed in and out of the gate across
the way going back and forth to his
work.
For Just a little while many years
ago the sun Of happiness had shone
upon Miss Mathilde's life. 1t was in
the days when she was Vassar girl
and he a student at Harvard. They
had met, fallen desperately in love, ex-
changed vows and rings, only to find
on their return from college that bit
ter feud had existed between the West
leys and the Peabodys for scores of
years back. That marked the end of
Mathilde Westley's brief love dream,

''You didn't drop that dropped

The women were both wondering
how to get, the half dollar when a man
came along with the contribution box
As he offered her the box a woman
across the aisle from the other two
said to him:
III just dropped half dollar on the
floor. Would you be so kind as to

The man picked it up and gave it to
her. The other two women. although
they are neighbors, haven't spoken to
each other since.-Denyer Post

and Russell Peabody settled down as
an old bachelor almost before he was

This morning Miss Mathilde was
busy with her dust cloth, interrupting
herself every little while in the clean
ing to run back to, the kitchen and
glance at the preserves sizzling in
big copper kettle. The new maid was
tending them, and Miss Mathilde, after
stirring them vigorously for a moment
and pronouncing them done, pushed
back the little damp ringlet that in
sisted upon escaping from the soft
knot on top of her dainty head, while
sudden look of inspiration gloNed In
her face. She took deep old fash
toned dish out of the cupboard and
filled it with the fragrant steaming
preserves.

away. Kitty, and take this over to the

Then she added to herself:
They've just moved In, and know
they haven't got everything fixed up
yet, so the peaches will come in handy"
Now, thse were two little brown
houses across the way, and each Of
them stood on a corner Also Kitty
was a new maid, and 1t was not unnat-
ural that she should have selected the
wrong place. Miss Mathllde was 30
deeply engrossed in the bottling proc
ess that she did not even look up as
the girl went out OF the gate.
Russell Peabody by some peculiar
circumstance sat in his study looking
over the contents Of an old cabinet
drawer he had not opened for many
years. He held In his hand a faded
knot of pink ribbon-One that she had
worn that night of their betrothal-and
his face was less rudy than Its wont
as he recalled the sweet memories OF
their short lived happiness and the bit
ter thoughts OF all the drab years that
followed.

Natal Day

LONDON, Feb 20--The bells of the
Curfew Tower and Windsor parish
church pealed merrily today in cele-
bration of the fortieth birthday of the
princess royal (the Duchess of Fife),
who. was born February 20. 1867. The
anniversary was further observed by
the firing of a salute in the Longwalk.
The Princess Royal has about re-
covered her health after long and
serious Illness Last September she
underwent an operation as an out
come of severe complications follow
ing a chill. Her convalescence has
been very slow, though of late her
progress has been more satisfactory.
No Heir Has Been Born.
The Duke of Fife married Pricess
Louise, eldest daughter of the then
Prince of Wales, in 1889. Two dough-
ters have been born of the marriage

No heir has been born, and in or

title the duke had, new letters pat

crown, under which in the event Of
there being no male heir the title
shall pass first to his eldest laughter
and to her heirs male, and in the event
of the succession falling in tnat
branch of the family then her sister
would be Duchess of Fife with right

he took the dish from her hands with
a smile of appreciation. Probably some
neIghborly friend Of the family, pity
ing his bacheIorhood. had sent II over.

she said. A moment later Kitty was
out of the gate, and Russell Peabody
stood staring into the space through
which she had disappeared, and as he
stared a radiant hope awoke in his
eyes. For one second he knew what
Is termed ''mad. delllious bliss" What
IL she had meant that there was no

used to beat her see; that she cared.
even as he had, more and more through
all the lonely years that had divided
them? Was she clearing the road for
him at last. the road for which he
longed, but lacked the courage to take?
After awhile he closed the door and
went back into his study With trem-
bling hands he gathered up all his
treasures and locked them back in the
bon. This he wrapped carefully in a
piece of paper and wrote across the
back of 1t:
"Will you wear it this evening for
Aud Lang SyneT"
Afterward he went out in the street
and stopped boy who was coming
along with some papers. He gave him
the package, thrust half dollar into
his hand and pointed the way to Miss

At o'clock he left the house and
walked rapidly, without looking up, till
he came to Miss Mathilde's gate. The
high fence was tangled In clematis
and he did not see her at all till bis
