don liked him the better for it. The
train had entered the yard. and now
Westcott gathered the little bundle of
white clothes and pink face in bis arms
and prepared to leave the car.
The others Of the party formed them
selves into an escort, and they headed
for the exit, Royster making imaginary
book with ever Increasing odds that no
anxious mother would be found ut the
end of the long platform.
Westcott did not abate his confident
smile, though he longed to thrash
Royster for the attention he was at
tracing to the party. In some way
the story had spread through the other
cars, and quite q crowd Of the incom-
ing passengers were gathered opposite
the exit gate by the time that West
colt reached it. AS they passed the
exit a woman sprang forward and,
with q cry of "Mickyr' snatched the
child from Westcott's arms.
'Sure, an was feared that Susie
could find divil a wan to take care OF
the bye" she protested, "aa' it's me
thanks to your Teddy, sir. 1t takes one
mother to feel for another, even If it's
only me as it is. May the saints bring
you all sorts Of luck for your kindness
to a poor woman"
ROyster shouted at the woman'S mis-
take, and more than ever the blushing
Westcott longed to kick him. Alma
hurried to give credit where it belong
ed and explained that it Was Westcott
who had accepted the commission.
1.-THE gintleman, is it," gasped the
baby's mother. "Sure an I should
have known, bat you do be maxim the
fine pair, the two av yez. 1t do be a
shame that ye amt married. Sure the
fine gentleman 'ud make an flligant
husband to some pretty lady. She'll
never be sorry for marryin' kind
man like thot."
With crimson face Westcott hurried
Alma over to the cab ranks and helped
her into a hanson, still followed by
the profuse thanks and compliments
Of the grateful mother. AS the cab
rolled away they caught the twentieth
repetition Of the assertion that the
kind gentleman would make fine
husband for some one. Westcott turn
ed to Miss Sheldon.
care you willing to play that 'hunch,'
Almaw he asked wistfully. 81 know
that in lots Of things I'm joke, but
don't you care little for me, dear"
Her hand stole into his behind the
shelter Of the hanson apron. "Tn
play that hunch across the board,
Jimmie" she declared, following his
racing talk.
Westcott regarded with regret the
dashboard Of the hanson.
II guess l am a fool" he admitted
regretfully. II should have taken
four wheeler I didn't have any hunch
about that"

vored by the machine, always feeding
at the public crib by the grace of the
appointive power. Never elected to
an Office yet always holding one.
Look over this record and see if you
imagine Mr.. Taft would favor smash
ing the political machine by making
all officers elective:
1882-Appointed assistant prose-
cutting attorney of Hamilton county,
Ohio.

EFFECTIVE BIRD PROTECTION.

The Audubon Society of America
has inaugurated vigorous campaign
having in view the more effective pro-
lection of the birds of America, ami
this time the appeal is being made
along the line of practical rather thlH
sentimental considerations. The arg;i
ment now being put forth is that bird
destruction means loss in dollars AMI
cents to the gardeners, fruit growers
and farmers Of the country. This will
win. Present an argument that hits
folks In their pocketbooks and they
are bound to sit up and take notice.
The plan of campaign. Of the society
contemplates the dividing of the coun-
try into seven districts and the placing
Of an expert ornithologist in charge OF
each. It would seem as If with the
prosecution Of its work along genera:
lines the society could make definit
advance by using its influence to Sc
cure the passage of federal laws pro
hibiting absolutely the destruction of
useful birds migrating at different sea-
sons Of the year from one state to an
other. A communication sent by the
writer to the congressman Of his dis
trict and referred by him to G. Fl.
Merriam, chief of the bureau Of biolog-
ical survey, seemed to develop the fact
that the reason action had not been
taken along the line suggested-that Of
federal bird protectlon-was due to in
ability to arouse interest In the sub
ject on the part Of members Of con
gress, coupled with inadequate appro-
priations which would be available for
carrying such laws into effect Just
so long as the matter of bird protec
tion Is left to the several states rc-
suits secured will be incomplete aIl
unsatisfactory. A law passed by con
gress for the protection Of interstate
birds would cover all states. State
laws are good so far as they 60, but
they should be REINFORCED by federal
enactments
