NEW Bird REALM.

Bird lovers will rejoice to know
that perpetual homes and breeding
grounds for the wild birds of America
have been permanently established
The National Association of Audubon
societies has completed the purchase
of SHUTDOWN island off the Louisiana
coast, in addition to the twenty-five
islands in the gulf of Mexico where
it maintains an undisturbed haven for
the native wild fowl of America. The
ceding Of the thirty acre island to
the birds as a homing spot of their
own marks the beginning OF wide
spread movement among bird lovers
in this country, that aims toward the
acquisition of all the native haunts in
the islands and the coastal regions of
the Atlantic, Pacific and the gulf,
where at present the breeding places
are sadly molested and unprotected.
BY the governments reservation OF
Shell keys a multitude of national
wild fowl have already become as
sured of the preservation Of their
homes and offspring On this reef,
which is composed of oyster shells
and extends only mile and half
in the waters of the upper gulf, some
800 brown pelicans, 500 man-owar
birds, and almost 1000 royal terms
were recently observed by an Audit
bon partol expedition.
Il is interesting to note that in ad-
5itfOr to the Shell tevs and the mud
islands at the Mississippfs mouth
which have come under the survetI-
lance of the Audubon workers some
200 acres Oh island region have been
purchased or acquired by the associ-
alton for the purpose east Of the riy-
er's delta. Many more islands, either
privately held or undiscovered must
be purchased or held under perpetual
lease. ornitaologists declare before
bird life in America will be safely
guarded.

Stella did not move; she thought
that he refered to the earl and Ley
cester. She had determined to listen
calmly, until the FIVE minutes were ex-
PRED, and then to go--to go without
a ford.
The father was an eminent pain

wife, having nothing in common with
her high-souled husband, plunged into
the world. and was swallowed up in

Stella paled to the lips.
Shame so deep that he cast aside
his ambition and left the world.
Casting away his old life, and separat.

ing himself from the child which the
woman who had betrayed him had
born to him-he settled in remote
country village. forgotten and effaced.
The son was brought up by guardians
appointed by the father, who could
never bring himself to see him.
This boy went to school, to college,
was launched, so to speak, on the
world without fathers care. The
evil results which usually follow sucn
a starting followed here. The boy,
left to himself, or at best to the hired
guardianship Of tutor, ploughed into
life. He was a han come, high
spirited boy. and found. as is usual,
ready eompanlonship. Folly VIII

the boy, alone. and uncared for, was
led astray. In an unthinking moment

He looked at her steadily.
