Tho Swallow Family.

Before the country was densely pop.
ulated the swallows used to make
their homes In caves or In inches OF
rocks or hollow trees. but now they
trustfully build their nests close to
barns and houses. usually nesting
under the caves or even inside the
buildings. Their nest Is composed OF
layers Of mud about an inch thick,
plentIfully mixed with straw and lined
with feathers. They usually rear two
broOds In season, the first In May
and the second in July. The eggs are
four to six in number, white, with red
and purple spots and splashes nearly
covering the larger end. When the
second brood Of young are capable OF
using their wings the swallows con-
gregate In focks of thousands and
migrate southwark. travelling by day
light instead Of at night. as Is the
custom Of most migratory birds. The
swallow Is an attractive bird. with
long wings and a @rked tail. Its
small. fat. triangular beak Is also
characteristic.

But when he went to Mildred to ex'
plain the nature Of his arrangements
he found her in furious temper.
"Why did you announce my engage

angrily. THE whole ship is talking

the old man. This whelp Emerson
