Luncheon to Miss Isabel Dean.

Unusually handsome was the lunch.
con given yesterday for Miss Isabel
Dean by Miss Gail Cruce in the pri-
vate dining room of the Lee-Huckins,
where the hostess gathered together
Miss Deans bridal party and few
intimate friends. In the center of
the table was an enormous basket
of Richmond roses, the handle tied
with a large bow of sky blue satin
ribbon. Four smaller baskets of roses
were placed at the corners of the
table, and long stemmed blossom,
with place card attached lay at each
cover Attached to the brides chair,
and casting over her a rosy glow,
was a parasol, covered with red roses.
The handle was wrapped with blue
tulle tied into an immense bow. Car
rying out this scheme of gorgeous
color was Miss Deans gown OF rich
purple velvet, trimmed in lavender
satin and chiffon. Her hat was of
purple velvet, adorned with cerise
ostrich plumes, the color repeated
in a rose on the shoulder of her
gown.
During the luncheon, the guests

their places small slips of paper bear

CHAPTER v.
The Bird Behind Bars.

The most beautiful blue Irish eyes
In the world gaZed out at the dawn
which turned night-blue into day-bue
| and paled the stars. Rosal lay the I'M
| dulating horizon, presently to burst in
| to living flame, transmitting the dull
| steel bars of the window into fairy
gold, that trick of alchemy SO futilely
sought by man. There was a window
at the north and another at the south,
likewise barred; but the Irish eyes
never sought these two. 1t was from
the east window only that they could
see the long white road that led to
Paris
The nightingale was truly Gagged
But the wild heart of the eagle beat
In this nightingales breast, and the
eyes burned as fiercely toward the
east as the east burned toward the
west. Sunday and Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday and Thursday, today;
and that the five dawns were singu-
lar in beauty and that she had never
in her life before witnessed the Gre
alton of five days, one after another,
made no impression upon her sense of
the beautiful, SO delicate and receptive
If ordinary times. She was conscious
that within her the cup of wrath was
overflowing. OF other things, such as
eating and sleeping and moving about
in her cage (more like an eagle IN
deed than a nightingale). recurrence
had blunted her perception
"Oh, but he shall pay, he shall pay!"
she murmured, striving to loosen the
bars with her small, white helpless
hands. The cry seemed to be an ari-
eta, for through all these four mad
dening days she had voiced it-now
low and deadly with hate. now full
toned in burning anger, now broken by
sobs Of despair will you never
come, so that l may tell you how base
and vile you are?" she further ad-
dressed the east.
She had waited for his appearance
on Sunday. Late in the day one of the
jailers had informed her that it was
impossible for the gentleman to come
before Monday. So she marshaled her
army of phrases, of accusations, of de-
nunciations, ready to smother him
with them the moment he came. But
he came not Monday, nor Tuesday,
nor Wednesday. The suspense was to
her mind diabolical. She began to I'M
derstand; he intended to keep her
there till he was sure that her spirit |.
was broken, then he would come.
Break her spirit? She laughed wildly. |
He could break her spirit no more
easily than she could break these
bars. To bring her to Versailles upon
an errand of mercy! Well, he was |
capable of anything.
She was not particularly distressed |
because she knew that it would not be
possible for her to sing again until the
following winter In New York She
aad sobbed too much, with her face
buried in the pillow. Had these sobs

NATURAL ENEMIES OF CHICKS
May Be Prevented by Device
Adopted by Maine Station.

One Of the chief difficulties that The
! poultryman has to contend with is the
continued loss of chicks, and some
times even Of nearly fuilgrown birds
as a consequence of the depredations
OF natural enemies. 1t is safe to say
that the magnitude of the loss from
this source is not anything like fully
realized by anyone who has not kept
an accurate account of all his birds
In the experimental work with poul
try at the Maine station, a record OF
every bird Is kept. In this way it has
been possible to check up and form
an adequate estimate of the losses due
to the creatures that prey upon poul
try, and, OF necessity, a good deal OF
attention has been devoted to the
problem of how these losses may be
cut down

hawks are more spectacular, perhaps,
