The Federal Bird Law.

Hunters throughout the country are
beginning to realize that the Federal
government has curtailed their spor:
for the season, which in many States
opens with the Ist OF September, by
taking migratory birds under its pro-
lection. For after October I, when
the new regulations go into effect, all
shooting is forbidden during the hours
after sunset and before sunrise which
the hunter always has considered the
best OF the day. The regulations, ac-
cording TO the Bureau Of Biological
Survey, have been framed on the prin-
ciple of protecting the birds, and not
in the interest of the hunter. But
they also provide for an open season
reasonably long, and at a time of the
year when game birds are most abun-
dant.
A great many Of the protests against
this Federal ruling are based upon
the ground that it amounts practically
to a closed season to have no shooting
before sunrise and after sunset for
those whose only time for hunting is
early in the morning or after work
is over.
But it IS important TO allow the
birds to roost and feed to prevent
their extinction. Fourteen States have
no restriction at all on night shooting,
and the Federal law is intended to
bring about uniformity in the pro-
visions. The most far reaching by far
IS the prohibition of spring shooting
in order to protect the birds while on
the way to their nesting grounds and
while mating, which means a great in
crease in numbers by fall. All hunt
ing on the Ohio. Mississippi, and Mis-
souri, rivers is absolutely prohibited to
provide for watcrfowls a safe route
from their winter feeding grounds in
the Lower Mississippi Valley to their
nesting grounds in Minnesota and the
Dakotas.
The friends of our feathered deni-
zens will be glad to learn that in
Europe also a. committee has been
formed for the protection of birds.
The movement. therefore, to save rare
birds from extinction in the quest for
feathers to decorate women's hats and
hair probably is to have an interna-
tional impetus. This is well. for
America cannot save all the birds BY
herself, excepting the white heron.
Women, knowing nothing of the con-
ditions under which tropical plumagc
is collected, and delighted with the
finished work of the milliner, rely
upon osprey, paradise birds, and other
fowls for their ornaments.
A great part of the work would be
accomplished were women to under
stand the cruelty of it all. They are
not to be deprived of beautiful feath- !
ers by the suppression of the trade in
aigrettes. There will always be as
trich plumeS. Besides the rhea of
South America is being domesticated, |
and other fine South. American birds
which shed their rich plumage are to |
be raised here. But to continue the
trade in aigrettes means the cruel ex-
tinction of the whole species, for it is
the mother birds that are taken and
killed for their feathers, leaving the
young to starve.

CHAPTER XIV.
Susan Stoddard's Prayer.

There was wide porch, spotlessly
scrubbed, along the front of the
house, and two hydrangeas blooming
gorgeously in tubs, one on either side
of the walk. The house looked new
and modern, shiny with paint and fur
nished with all the conveniences Of
fered by the relentless progress OF our
day.
Little Simon had informed Agatha,
during their short drive, that Deacon
Stoddard had achieved this resi-
dence" shortly before his death; and
his tone implied that it was the pride
of the town, it's real treasure. Even
to Agatha's absorbed and preoccupied
mind it presented a striking contrast
to the old red house, which had re-
ceiyed her so graciously into its spa
cicus comfort. She maryeled that
anything so fresh and modish as the
house before her could have come into
being in the old town. 1t was next
10 a certainty that there was model
laundry with set tubs beyond the
kitchen, and equally sure that no old
horsehair lounge subtly invited the
ywearied traveller to rest.
cool draft came through the
screen door. Within, it was cleaner
than anything Agatha had ever seen.
The stair-rail glistened, the polished
floors shone. A neat bouquet of sweet
neas stood exactly in the center of a
snow-white dolly, which was exactly
in the middle of a shiny, round table.
The very door-nat was brand new;

a tug-of-war between a team Of Irish
miners and team of Slovaks
The Slovaks were winning and the
Irishmen dropped the rope and began
to fight. 1t was good fight. One
brawny Irishman had an opponent
down and was pounding him at his
leisure, when a friend came along.

friend.

The moment his professional
ment came into question Doctor
er slipped out from the cloud of
barrassment which had engulfed hy
in his recent conversation, and as!
sumed the authoritative voice that
Agatha had first heard.
My dear Miss Agatha Redmond,
that is foolish talk. You are half
sick, even now; and it requires d
strong person, with no nerves, to do
what l desire done. MR. Van Camp
may be his cousin, but the chances are
that he wouldn't know a bromide from

on bushes in lion, nor in Charles
port, either. There isn't one to be
had. SO far as / know and we can't
wait to send to Augusta or Portland.
The next few days, especially the next
twenty-four hours, are critical"
Agatha listened intently, and a
growing resolution shone in her eyes.
Would Mrs Stoddard come, II it
were not for what you said--about
me?" she asked.
THE Lord only knows, but l think
she would" replied the poor, har-
assed doctor. She's always been a
regular Dorcas in this neighborhood."
"Dorcas!" cried Agatha, her anger
again faring up. Il should say Sap
phira.'
"Oh. now, Susan isn't SO bad, when
you once know her." urged the doc
tor.
Agatha got up and went to the win
dow, trailing her travelling rug after
her. "She shall come-I'll bring her.
And sometime she shall mend her
words about me-but that can wait.
If she will only help to save James
Hambleton's life nowi Where does
she live?" Suddenly, as she stood at
the window, she saw an opportunity.
There's Little Simon down there now
under the trees; and his buggy must
be somewhere near. Will you stay
here, Doctor Thayer, with Mr.. Ham
bleton, while go to see your sister?'
Hadn't ! better drive you over to
see Susan myself" feebly suggested
the doctor.
mo, I'll go alone" There was
anger, determination, gunpowder in
Agatha's voice.
but mind you, don't offer her any
money" the doctor warned, as he
watched her go down the hall and dis
appear for an instant in the bedroom
where James Hambleton lay. She
came out almost Immediately and
without word descended the wide
stairway, opened the dining-room
door, and called softly to Sallie Kings
bury.
Doctor Thayer returned to the sick
room Ten minutes later he heard the
wheels of Little Simon's buggy rolling
rapidly UP the road in the direction
of Susan Stoddards place.

Aleck looked at her before entering
the sick.room, he saw that her eyes
were filed with tears.
Agatha went back to her couch, feel
Ing that the heavens had opened. Here
was a friend come to her from she
knew not where, whose right 1t was
TO assume responsibility for the sick
man. He was kind and good. and he
loved her rescuer with the boyish
devotion of their school-days He
would surely help: he would work
with her to keep death away. What
ever love and professional skill could
do, should be done; there had been no
question as to that. Of course, from
the beginning But here was some
one who would double, yes, more
than double her own efforts; some
one who was strong and we'll and
capable. Her heart was thankful.
Before Aleck returned from the

mildly complaining voice OF Saliie
Kingsbury. Presently the two men
were In a low-voiced conference in
the hall. Agatha waited while they
talked. feeling grateful afresh that
Doctor Thayer's grim professional
wisdom was to be reinforced by Mr..
Van Camps resources. When the
doctor entered Agatha's room, her face
had almost the natural flush of health.
"Ah. Miss Agatha Redmond"-the
doctor continued frequently to ad-
dress her by her full name, half In

some dry sense of humor peculiar to

when he did, 1t was with one of his
characteristic turns toward an an
parently irrelevant topic.
Have you seen Sister Susan?" he
inquired. stopping by the side of
