Robert and Wesley, DISCOVERIES

ask him now-no, haven't the pluck to do
A few minutes of meditative silence en-
sued. Robert mechanically picked up a
magazine from the table. It was one OF the
best periodicals of the country. The copy
was new one, which had arrived only that
day.
Robert turned the leaves with languid in
terest., Suddenly, however, he started, turn
ed pale, then crimson.
Wesley" he said, under his breath, "1ook
here! DO you see that?"
wesley looked at the page of the maga-
zine at which his excited companion was
pointing, and saw there name that made
meath the title of fnely-illustrated article
on natural history appeared the name of
Professor Oscar Wade Borden.
ooh, I remember now!" said Robert
I've been a ninny all this time. | feel like
cudgelng myself for my stupidity. Our friend
is Professor Borden, Of Mount Morrill, Uni
vers'y, the brilliant writer on natural history
themes. Why, I've read a dozen of his ar
ticles in the magazines. And then there are
his books-'Avian Manners and Woodland
Strols.'"
Lets go up to his room at once, and tell
him m & we'ye found him out"
A minute later, Professor Borden was sur
prised by vigorous knock at his door. When
he opened it, the boys, now irrepressible in
their glee, their reserve entirely banished,
rushd into the room.
out!" they cried.
".Why, what do you mean?" in some sur
prise.
you are Professor Borden, of Mount Nor
rill University" declared Robert-"the writer
on birds and Insects
Have ever denied t?" inquired the
professor, with a bland smile, and without
being in the least disconcerted
"And here we have been asSociatinp with
such great and popular man"
Hold on, my boy!" commanded the pro-
fessor 81 am only an humble learner sit
ting at Natures feet, like yourself"
Then the three friends sat down and talk
ed and laughed until almost midnight. The
next morning the boys went with their friend
to the station. just as they were clasping
hands with him to say goodby, he said, with
smiling eyes:
Boys, how about discoveries in foreign
lands!"
The boys laughed, even while the tears
stood in their eyes.
We've made a great many discoveries
here within the last two weeks answered
Wesley, "and there are still more to make.
But do you know. what | think was our
greatest discovery"
The professor shook his head.
yourself" said Wesley.
"You have made a mistake, my boy" pro-
tested the professor. 81 am by no means
a rare bird, but very ordinary one. Good,
by-goodby!" and he took their hands in
warm clasp.
The boys continued their researches through
the entire vacation, and never once sighed
for greater fields to conquer.
True, the time came, years afterward, when
they did visit foreign lands in the interest
Of natural science, and became real discov-
erers, but that was not until they had inves-
tigated the wonders OF Nature in their own
neighborhoods.

1t turned out to be the magnolia warbler.
Before they left the spot, Mr.. Borden
pointed out another tiny bird, which the key
told the young would-be naturalsts was the
golden crowned kinglet.
Then loud Gathering, rdllicking song
rang through the woods, and the boys, after
a long search. found the little vocalist march
ing about on the leaf-carpeted ground look
ing as proud as a major general.
"The oven bird" exclaimed Wesley after
fifteen minutes consultation of the manual.
Boys, it's twelve o'clock" announced Mr..
Borden, looking at his watch. "and we
haven't got half way to the swamp. We
must go back to the hotel for dinner. What
do you think now Of Myrtle Lake as place
for discoveres?"
"It's immense, professor" declared Rob-
ert. "Oh, l beg pardon for calling you pro-
fessor! You seem like a teacher Would
"Not at ALL" laughed Mr.. Borden. "But
don't you remember that Agassiz always
wanted to be called simply teacher?' ,.
"Yes, but were used to the other title"
replied Wesley.
The afternoon was spent in Investigations
The young students and their professor"
did not reach the swamp that day-they
found 30 many objects of interest within less
than quarter OF a mile Of the hotel. On
the way back in the cleaning, their instruc-
What do you think now of going to South
tory?"
The boys laughed and winked slyly at each
other, while Robert replied:
81 think We'll defer our trip to that coun-
try, for some years, at least: Myrtle Lake
and our own etghborhood will keep US busy
for good while, I'm sure"
And such proved to be the case.
Day after day.. the boys, accompanied by
their professor" as they now called Mr..
Borden. pursued their studies in natural his.
tory in the vicinity of the lake, adding
plants and insects to the list of their sub
jects of investigation.
South America and Africa seemed to van
ish farther and farther in the dim distance,
and were almost lost sight of, SO numerous
were the discoveries they were constantly
making near at home.
One evening Mr.. Borden announced to his
young pupils that he would be compelled to
leave them in the morning. His work called
him away.
The boys received the intelligence with ex-
clamations Of dismay and regret, the tears
actually cleaning in their eyes.
Mr.. Borden hurried up to his room to- hide
his own emotions, for he had evidently be.
come deeply attached to the earnest young
students.
Robert and Wesley sat in the pleasant
reading room of the hotel, looking at each
other with gloomy faces.
"Do you know said Robert, Eve have

sor? The fact is, he's had SO little to say

SKIN DISEASES
HUMORS IN THE BLOOD

Nature has made ample provision
in the moisture and sunshine of the
air for the outward protection and
healthy condition of the skin. But
the more important work of nourish-
ing the cuticle has been left to an in
ward source-the blood. 1t is from
the circulation that the pores and
glands receive their stimulus, and
the fibrous tissues are all preserved
in a hea1thful state because of con-
slant nutriment supplied by the blood.
1t is only when the circulation be-
comes infected with humors or acids
that we are troubled with skin affec-
lions. The humors producing these
troubles are carried through the cir
culation direct to the skin, and their
irritating or infammatory effect re-
mains until the blood is cleansed.
S. S. S. cures Skin Diseases, because
it is the greatest of all blood purifiers.
1t goes into the circulation and
