now-once for all. She had already
given him to understand that their
intimacy must cease. Now he must
stop his visits to her house and de-
sist from trapping her friends into his
many schemes. She had written him
that morning forbidding him to come
to the house this evening. She was
done with him forever.
These thoughts were responsible for
the frown on the beautiful Mrs. JEFF
fries bejeweled brow that particular
Saturday evening. Alicia gave sigh
and was drawing on her long kid
gloves before the glass, when sudden
ly a maid entered and rendered her
mistress a note. Alicia knew the
handwriting only too well. She tore
the letter open and read:
Dear Mrs. Jeffries: 1 received your let
ter telling me that my presence at your
house tonight would be distasteful to
you. AS you can imagine, it was great
shock. Don't you understand the harm
this will do me? Everybody will notice
my absence. They will jump to the con-
clusion that there has been a rupture,
and my credit will suffer Immediately
with your friends. I cannot afford TO let
this happen now. My affairs are in such
condition that it will be fatal to me.
need your support and friendship more
than ever. have noticed for some time
that your manner to me has changed
Perhaps you have believed some of the
stories my enemies have circulated about
me. For the sake of our old friendship
Alicia, don't desert me now. Remember
what once was to you and let me come
to your reception tonight There's rea-
son why l must be seen in your house.
Yours devotedly,
ROBERT UNDERWOOD.
Alicia's face flushed with anger.
Turning to the maid, she said:
There's no answer"
The girl was about to close the
door when her mistress suddenly re-
called her.
"Wait a minute she said; I'll
write line"
Taking from her dainty escritoire a
sheet of perfumed notepaper, she
wrote hurriedly as follows:
eff you dare to come near my house
tonight I will have you put out by the
servants"
Quickly folding the note, she
crushed it into an envelope, sealed it.
handed it to the girl and said:
"Give that to the messenger"
The servant disappeared and Alicia
resumed her work of drawing on her
gloves in front of her mirror. How
dare he write her such a letter? Was
her house to be made the headquar-
ters for his swindling schemes? Did
he want to cheat more of her friends

WAR ON ENGLISH SPARROWS.
Results of Trapping Reported b
Scientist of Biological Survey.

Experiments conducted by Dr. y X
Fisher of the government biological
survey in the trapping and poisoning
of English sparrows have deveiore-
some unexpected results. The gov
eminent scientists have established
the fact by years observation tha;
sparrows cling to prescribed localities
and that an entire space can be tapped
clear OF them.
The extensive grounds OF the Agri-
cultural Department in the heart OF
this city have been practically made
sparrow free. At the same time focks
OF the birds range up and down the
streets that bound the agricultural
park. II is the belief of the experts
that style of trap can be devised
cheap enough to be universally used
and that whole communities can be rid
OF the sparrow pest by trapping and
poisoning the birds.
