over the rough plan of the American gov

Aunt America Bucket, vegetable gar
dener. elevated the last sack of green
peas to the stout two-wheeled dumpcart
Her son, Solomon, aged twelve, with a
somnolent cast of countenance and feet
and hands of adult proportions, lifted the
ragged rope Ieins over the back of MINI

lids of which seemed to indicate the loss
of many nights sleep.

America sighed dolorously as Solomon
and Nimrod disappeared.
Solomon was perfectly dependable eX-

America had done her utmost to cure
him of this failing by frequent beatings
until Flora Harp. who clerked in Lansing

slant state Of uneasness

vegetables he drove by the dry goods en-
porium that he might catch a glimpse of
his goddess of mercy's curly brown head
as she fitted about waiting on custom

That morning he took her bunch of
long-stemmed purple violets, gathered
from the creeks bank. She had smiled
over the fragrant gift, but her smile was
feeting and her eyes were wistful. Solo

the three were seated in the shining.

clenched her cold hands. The Ainsley
home was on the Lebanon road. To pass
the house in which Dick was being mar
ried to Amy! Could she endure it?
The car moved out the Lebanon way.
Beyond sharp turn Solomon Bucket sat
in deep slumber in his cart. 1t was load
ed with a barrel of salt and two sacks Of
of his neighborhood- Like lightning the
car leaped around the roads turn and
crashed into the cart. Screams of terror
fell on the ears of the wedding party.
The bride wrenched her hand from the
bridegroom's and rushed out to the road.
The maids, the bridegroom, the minister
the guests followed her hastily.
Beside the wrecked car Mary Gore and
Esther Jennings stood, covered with dust
but unhurt. Lansing. stunned. revived
in an instant. and was helped to his
feet, unhurt. but Flora Harp lay still. a
little stream of blood trickling from her
lips.

the dust of the road. Amy bent over her.
"Oh DIR. Sellers she besoueht the ply

Not dead the doctor hesitated. but

Amy ran to Dick standing rigid, his
face like wax mask. 'Oh, Dick, go take
her in your arms! If she is dying, let
her die in your arms, Never mind me-

But Flora did not die Before dusk the

Setting Quail on Weevil.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
The American quail is to be sent to rid
British Africa of the cotton holl weevil.
if plans of certain Englshmen succeed.
1t is considered a question of their ability
to acclimatiZe the bird: the birds appe-
tte for the destructive worm is not
doubted.
Success in the venture would mean a
new feather in the cap of one of Amer
icas favorite birds. 1t should also teach
careless Americans of the wisdom Of pro-
tecting not only the quail but other
native song birds against the onslaughts
of their enemies. human and otherwise.
The cotton boil weevil causes millions of
loss in the United States alone, and its
ravages are equally familiar in Egypt and
British Africa 1t is. therefore. something
more than sentiment or humanity which
argues for the preservation of the par
ticular wild creature which thinks the
weevil a dietary morsel.
But the quail is only one of dozens of
native song birds, each of which is use
full in the same way. Some day men will
appreciate their winged friends more
thoroughly

THE BRITISH CRISIS.

LONDON. May ls-"Unionst'' is the
name chosen by the opposition to the AS

conservatives choose to call themselves
II means that the party is devoted to the
union" which is the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland. Naturally.
the first political instinct of a unionist
is opposition to home rule for home rule
means a dissolution of the union.
At the same time, ''unionist'' is not the
official name of any party. 1t came into
general use after 1856. when the old con-
servative party and the new liberal union
ist party formed by Joseph Chamberlain
of the hotine liberals who refused to fol
low Gladstone on home rule, entered into
the coalition that now amounts to coales-
cence. Nevertheless, the official parties
are still named conservative and lib
eral-unionist" The entire 'uniorist
party is now conservative in type and
very few of its members are not perfectly
willing to he called tory.
There IS a real division of sentiment in
the party, but it follows the lines of the
tariff policy. and not of the old formal

quite sharp. and in the event of the re-
