with the microscope shows how this
is done, but it Is enough here to say
that the interior of a plant that holds
water consists of myriad water-stor-
age cells. The amount of water,
moreover, which such a plant as the
cactus we are describing holds in its
interior is extraordinary. A deter
mination of the water in a sample OF
its storage-tissue has shown over SO
per cent.
The common name of this veri-
table ''spring of the desert" Is the
barrel-cactus, or bisnaga (Echino-
cactus Emoryi,) one specimen of
which, recently kept in the c%onserva-
tory of the department of agriculture
at Washington, weighed 10 pounds.
A specimen weighing n ton and
measuring nine feet high and three
feet in diameter was once received
at Kew, but soon died owing to in
juries in transit.
Some years ago when Mr.. Fred
erick v. Coville, of the department oil
agriculture at Washington, in com
pany with Mr.. ID. T. MacDougal, of
the New York botanical garden, was
in Mexico seeking a location for a
desert botanical laboratory for the
Carnegie institution of Washington,
he made a special study of the barrel
cactus. The locality in which these
Investigations took place was In the
state of Sonora, Mexico, about eight
miles from the railway station of
Torres, a region in which the bisnaga
abounds.
Happily for the investigations,
there was at hand, in the person of
Mr.. Coville's guide-an intelligent
Papago Indian-one who from old
time practice was able to show how
deftly and quickly the traveller In the
desert may quench his thirst. He
first picked out a cactus a little over
three feet high and 20 inches in di-
ameter. He then sliced off the top
and exposed the white interior, rails
ing the top from the rest of the plant
as If 1t were a lid on hinges. Inside
could be seer a pulpy structure, evil
IDENTIFY saturated with water, al
though Ii was noticeable that the wa
ter did not exude from the pulp when
the cut was made. The guide then
cut a stake about three inches in di-
ameter at the blunt end, and began
to mash the flesh of the cactus into a
pulp. BY this means he made in the
top of the cactus a sort of bowl, and
soon had collected a suitable guam
tity of this pulp. Then taking it up
handful by handful he squeezed the
useless pulp away. The flavor of the
water was slightly saltish.

After finishing the diary. the

The words kept repeating themselves
in her mind, Perhaps they won't

how much the mother had done for

She opened the door, filled with the
thoughts of her mother, and went
to him.

still bright with the tears of her
emotion. He did not hear her at
first. When she called again. and
laid her face against his shoulder,
he looked up. He put his arm round
her and drew her to him.

they were new and strange and won

And to think It was father and

Dear old dadl" she murmured
with a smile. as she read an eloquent
account Of a charming necktie he
wore in his youth. She understood
now why mother and father each
must ever be young to the other.
She finished the book and gazed
dreamily into the fire. New thoughts.

For a long time she thought deeply
over what she had read. Precious

After a while she opened the other

peared in her life. Grandmother
Bell, whom the daughter had stood
in awe of most of her life, figured
strongly in the pages.
She felt that she never understood
before how lonely her mother had
been as a girl. although she had al
ways known that her childhood had
not been particularly happy. She
could see why she had been so lonely
in spirit, the mother as a girl was SC
entirely different from her brother
who was a good deal of a prig, and
from her Puritan mother.
The daughter smiled as she read

The father and mother exchanged

first flight he put down the bag, and
they finished the last fight at a gall
lop, close at the heels of the daugh-
ter.
Hand in hand. with pleased. ex-
pectant smiles, they stood in the door
way, peering in as the daughter en-
tered. The fireplace, where a small
log was cheerily burning, sent out a
soft glow, aided by the candles on
the dressing-table. The dull frames
OF the pictures sparkled bravely in
places. One chair was drawl com
fortably to the fireplace, while anoth-
er stood invitingly near. Flowers
were on the table, and the bed showed
snowy and tempting, with its fittings
beautifully embroidered with the
monogram of the daughter.
They watched her stand, amazed
and look slowly around the room.
Turning suddenly, she saw them
there in the doorway.

have the same cid bureau. But where
on earth did you get the bed?"
There was pause, when the
mother tried bravely several times
to say something. At last, murmur-
ing an incoherent remark about din
ner, she turned and fed.
The father found her at one corner
of the library sofa. staring straight
ahead and with one hand tightly
clenched over a ball of a handker-
chief. He smiled whimsically.
How about it2" he asked. DO
you think you are going to cry?"
She shook her head mutely. Then

other. suddenly began to laugh, to

of the bed. but she didn't say any
thing about the fireplace" And he
put his hands re1eetively deep into
his pockets.
The mother only laughed, but it
ended with a little sob that caught
at her threat.
One evening few days later the
mother was called away to a sick
friend. The daughter brought her
books to the library. where the father
stood, rather aimlessly moving about
the table. Ever since the night of

The daughter had taken it as a
matter of course. and smiled care

The father went to the safe, and
after a short search, brought back
to the table two little leather-coYered
books, worn and old-looking. He
called the daughter to him
