DO Parrots Understand What Then

Those Of us who possess talking parrots are

Polly began To talk and quickly mastered
good many of her lessons. She added good

the cawing of rocks. Her piercing whistle would

work. the author makes some of her prettiest


passages.
Since his retirement from the editorship of
the London Saturday Review the readers
of Mr. Walter Herries Pollock have heard too
little from him in either prose or verse. 1t is a
pity, for with his delicate sense of letters and
his skilful pen, he makes what he has TO say
worth reading. While we are waiting for
other book by him, 1t is pleasant TO receive
little pamphlet of thirty-odd pages. published
by Aston Rivers. under the title of Sealed
Orders and Other Poems Friendship, patri-
otism. nature and the songs OF birds supply
the motives treated in the graceful pieces of
this slender collection. and happily too, Mr..
Pollock dedicates more than of his poems
to the sword and it's art, which he knows so
we'll, and which he has written before with
so much originality and enthusiasm. Here is
one of these especially characteristic produc
tions:
THE DEVILS THRUST.

When the Devil crouched in my rapiers shell.
We had loved each other in sorrow and Joy.

Each pass, each parry, both of us knew.
We paused. and then again to our stand.
And 1 hit him sharp in the dagger hand
He turned dead white. but he cried, It's Well"
And the Devil laughed in my rapiers shell.
His blade rang clear mine he passed
And touched in turn, and said, AT last!'
And the Devil whispered. Now seconde!"
Once he thrust, l beat down his sword:
1t hroke-he faced without a word.

And yet I led him deathly dance,
Advancing now, retreating then,

that she has become the chief benef-

left Philadelphia in the SOS to carve

ern attorneys inform her that she has
been given his interests in gold and

After Arnold left Philadelphia no

shiftless son until about 25 years later,
when. after having made a fortune in
the mining Of gold in the northern
part of Idaho near a place now called
Murray, like one from the grave he
came back to his homestead and upon
inquiring found that his parents had
died and his brother George, father Of
Miss Helen, had also been dead a year
or so.
He searched far and wide for the
widow and her two children-a son,

daughter-and found them in Altoona,
and for time freely shared his wealth
with them.
But then the voice Of the west kept
calling him back and he made an ex-
cuse that urgent business required
him in Idaho and left them with the
promise that he would come back as
soon as he could find an opportunity
Nothing more was heard of him. and
