Changing Notes of Birds.

One of the most Interesting features
in the study of bird life Is to note their
varying calls in the changing circum-
stances of sunshine and storm.
The frequent snowfalls OF the recent
winter have often been heralded by the
mournful "cluck, cluck" of the black
birds as they fiocked round the doors
looking for the crumbs that custom
had led them to expect. The mavis Is
mostly mute during a storm, and tells
his tale Of woe more by his ruffied
feathers and dropping wing than by his
voice. His note, however, is the first
to welcome a change to warmer
weather.
The stormcock, by which is meant
the blue felt or fieldfare, does not fire.

Is no more certain sign of the approach
OF severe weather than a flock Of these
birds flying southwark. Their note Is
an ominous chuck, chuck" and but
for that they would often pass unno-
ticed overhead.
The skylark also passes south utter
ing a tmid, twittering note, which will
later give place to gay burst of song.
The starlings flock greedily to wher-
ever food is to be found, be it in field
or homestead. The first blink of warm
sunshine, however, sees them perched
on the caves vibrating their wings In
manner no other bird does and imitat-
ing with an air Of intense satisfaction
the call notes Of host Of other birds.
The sparrows which robbed the far

winter, and their cheerless twitter on
the housetops bears faint resemblance
to their noisy clamor in the cornfield.
The robin seeks his dole with an air OF
quiet confidence and sometimes re-
wards us with a burst Of song quite
out Of keeping with his surroundings.
The blue tits have no voice to say
they are hungry, though their actions
show it, but their spring note may
be heard in the woodlands, when they

over her friends, and she bullied you.
Yes, she did. Now she's here, without
invitation, and she has to stay. It's
your turn to bully, to dictate terms, to
be coldly civil or politely rude. Make
her furious at you. If she is jealous,
so much the better"
How far would you sacrifice your
self on the altar of friendship" he
asked.
You may pay me all the attention
you like, in public" replied, and after
we shook hands we went together to
Bella.
There was an ominous pause when
we went into the den. Bella was Sit
ting by the register, with her furs on,
she looked away again without speak
ing.
Bella" Jim said appealingly. And
then l pinched his arm. and he drew
himself up and looked properly outrag-
ed.
Bella" he said, coldly this time. Il
can't imagine why you have put your
self in this ridiculous position, but
since you have"
She turned on him in fury.
Put myself in this position!" She
was frantic. It's a plot, a wretched
trick of yours, this quarantine, to keep
me here"
Jim gasped, but l gave him warn
ing glance, and he swallowed hard.
"On the contrary" he said, with
maddening quiet, Il would be the last
person in the world to wish to perpet-
uate an indiscretion of yours. For 1t
was hardly discreet, was it, to visit a
bachelor establishment alone at ten
o'clock at night? AS far as my plotting
to keep you here is concerned, / assure
you that nothing could be further from
my mind. Our paths were to be two
parallel lines that never touch" He
looked at me for approval, and Bella
was choking.
You are worse than l ever thought
YOU" she stormed. II thought you
were only "a fool. Now know you
for a brute!"
Well it ended by Jim's graciously
permitting Bella to remain-there be-
ing nothing else to do-and by his
magnanimously agreeing to keep her
real identity from Aunt Selma and Mr..
HARRISON, and to break the news of her
presence to Anne and the rest. 1t
created a sensation beside which
Anne's pearls faded away, although
they came to the front again soon
enough.
Jim broke the news at once, gather
ing everybody but HARRISON and Aunt
Selma in the upper hall. He was pal
pitatingly nervous, but he tried TO
carry it off with high hand.

New York, June %: New York
city was acquitted today of the most
serious charge ever brought against It,.
A special grand Jury, with John ID.
Rockefeller, Jr., as foreman, handed
in it's report after six months of
investigation, holding that there is no
organized trade in women here. In
other words. the socalled white slave"
traffic is a myth. Moreover, the ac-
uuittal Of New York is basically SIM
liar acquittal for all other large
cities in the United States, for 1t had
been charged that through New York,
as headquarters traffic in women was
carried on throughout the country.
The report does not seek to deny that
vice fiourishes, and it recommends
laws for it's curing. Chief among its
recommendations are the following:
That moving picture shows tend to
create evil in the minds Of children,
and should be most rigidly inspected.
That 1875 massage" and manicure
parlors are nothing more than disor-
derly houses and should be subjected
to rigid regulation. That a crusade
should be made against consorts OF
street women. That there should be
better supervision of Raines law ho-
tells. That the tenement house laws
be revised, and that the mayor appoint
a commission to study social evils in
this and other countries. In accepting
the presentment, Judge O'Sullivan, In
the court OF general sessions, said:
"Your answer TO the main question
submitted to you is a merited rebuke
to the sanders of the cleanest great
city in the world"

Mr.. HARRISON came back in a half
hour and remembered the eggs. We
fished them out of the teakettle, and
they were perfectly hard, but we ate
them.

came that morning and vaccinated u.s.
There was a great deal of excitement,

she did not affect evening clothes this
was entirely natural. but later on In

CHAPTER VII-Continued.

Max was looking around the room
examining the windOwlocks and
whistling between his teeth. He was
in disgrace with every one. for by that
time it was light enough to see three
reporters with cameras across the
street waiting for enough sun to snap
the house, and everybody knew that 1t
was Max and his idiotic wager that
had done it. He had made two or three
conciliatory remarks, but no one would
speak to him. His antics We're so
queer, however, that we were all
watching him, and when he had felt
over the rug with his hands, and rails
ed the edges, and tried to lift out the
chair seats, and had shaken out Dars
shoes Che said people often hid things
and then forgot about iD, he made
proposition.
IF YOU will take that Internal fur
mace from around my neck, I'll under
take either to find the jewels or to
show up the thief" he said quietly.
And of course, with all the people in
the house under suspicion, every one
had to hail the suggestion with joy,
and to offer his assistance, and Jimmy
had to take MaX's share of the fur
mace. So they took the scullery slip
down stairs to the policeman, and gave
Jim Max's share of the furnace. Yes,
l had broken the policeman to them
gently. OF course, Anne said at once
that he was the thief, but they found
him tucked in and sound asleep with
his back against the furnace)

Everybody laughed and said, "of

changed the subject quickly. While
that excitement was on, l got Jim to
one side and told him about Bella. His

first.
