WHERE THE BIRDS GET THEIR BRIGHT co1oRs.

7r CCORDING to a quaint old Indian
|Alegend, in a long ago time the leaves
of the trees thought themselves as
much permanent part of the tree itself
as the trunk and the branches, never
dreaming that a time would come when
they might Hutter away and fall to the
earth and die.
But hint of their sad fate was carried
to them one midsummer day by a little
busybody. telltale breeze that. unsent by
the Great Spirit, maliciously whispered
to them that their departure was at hand g;
that soon. very soon, instead of sunshine
and warmth. there would come storm and
cold and blight and disaster.
And the poor little green leaves were
sorely disturbed and perplexed, but while
they Huttered and whispered anxiously
each with each as TO whether these things
might really be true they kept up brave
courage, showing to the world only a
growing brightness and seeming cheer day
after day, until all men cried aloud in ad-
miration How brilliant and how gay
are our little friends, the leaves, all SHIN
mering in scarlet and gold, and how very
we'll and happy they look'' while under
meath it all the brave hearted leaves one
after another felt a creeping chill and a
dark foreboding and looseping of their
hold upon life and home and happiness.
Slowly their colors faded as their vital
ity ebbed away; slowly they huttered down

Caves Beneath a Scottish Castle.

@ULZEAN CASTLE, which crowns q
great rock on the southwest coast of
Scotland, is the residence of the Mar
ouis of Ailsa, the head of the famous
Kennedy family. The castle and the rock
on which it stands look as If they were
all of one piece and as If they had been
there an equally long time. Indeed, a
part of the castle is very OIL and has a
famous history, much Of which is con-
cerned with the subterranean passages In
the rocks under the castle, one of which
is said to extend four miles inland, come
ing out near the village Of Maybole,
which is also Kennedy property. At
high tide the water flows far into the
passages with q great noise, but when
the tide Ii low one may enter them-that
Is. II he Is not afraid Of the damp dark
ness and the rats which infest the place.
ANY one undertaking this adventure, how
ever, must be sure to start back before
the tide turns, else he may meet the fate
of the piper who wandered on and on,
piping as he went, perhaps to keep his
courage up, and who never returned to
daylight. Some persons say they have
heard the pipes, although the unfortunate
piper disappeared long before any one
now living was born.
In the old warfaring times these pas
sages were Of great service to persons
wishing to escape or hide.
The Marquis Of Ailsa also owns the
ancient Oassilis Castle, In the viliage Of
Maybole. Here one Of his ancestors, who
was not marquis but an earl lived, who
had married lady who was in love with
another gentleman. She had obeyed her
father, but she stin loved the young man
