depths Of the Green Forest.
But nothing of the kind happened. No.
sir; nothing of the kind happened.
Farmer Browns boy broke the hard,
icy crust with his great boots, taxing
sreat care not to stamp SO hard that
he would go through and hurt whoever
might be underneath, but when the
crust was broken nothing happened for
a minute or two. Then there was just
little fluttering of brown wings:
Farmer Browns boy stopped swiftly and
lifted away the pieces of broken snow
crust, and there lay poor Mrs Grouse
doing her best to make her usually
stout, strong wings lift her and carry
her away. But ali they could do was
to futter helplessly. You see, poor
Mrs. Grouse had been kept prisoner
50 long under the crust with nothing
to eat. she had been so terribly fright
ened at the thought that she mlght
never be able to get out. and she had
struggled SO trying to break through
that dreadful. icy crust. that she was
all worn out and so weak that now she
was quite helpless.
Poor, poor Mrs. Grouse. 1t seemed
to her that she had escaped one danger
only to find herself in another danger
quite as great You know, she was
Of the Green Forest and the Green
Meadows-terribly afraid of Farmer
Browns boy. Hadn't he hunted her
time and time again with his terrible
gun? And now here he was STOPPING
over her, and she hadn't strength
enough to run, let alone fly! 1t was
dreadful. She bravely pecked at the
big hand stretched out to take her up,
but it was a very feeble peck; and
Farmer Browns boy just laughed
didn't mind it at all. Then she closed
her eyes and shivered as she felt her
self lifted out of the snow. That
SILVER was partly cold and partly
fright. You see food Is what
makes warmth in the body. and
thick clothes simply keep that warmth
in So when there is no food to max
warmth the body grows cold no matter
how thick coat covers it. SO Mrs
Grouse was very, very cold in spite OF
her thick cloak of feathers.
When she was lifted up Mrs. Grouse
expected something terrible to happen
But nothing terrible did happen In
stead she began TO feel very comfort
able. That hand she had been 30 afraid
of was somehow very warm, and an
other hand stroked her very gently

His orders came to him from all parts Of
the country, the east and the south as

his most distinguished works are the

the Winnie Davis memorial and the me

Mr.. Zoinay came to Washington not
looking for work, but bringing work with
him. He has on hand now several in-
portant commissions. One is for a Con-
federate memorial, whic according to
the instructions, was to have about it no
emblem of war, no suggestion of the hor-

base a semi-detached group showing a

These authors go back to the seventeenth

this high romance The Honour of the
House" Is the love story of a longgone
day. one wherein high-handed treach-
cries and deep-lying duplicities were
the rule with the rich and power
full. This romance moves alternately
in the clear light and profound shadow
OF loyalty on the one hand and unfaith
on the other. of devotion here and ha-
tired there, of fair dealing and wicked
subterfuge The sinister Prince OF Borde-
lacqua is the evil spirit Of the story. The
