alrds FIv From Battle.

One Of the war correspondents has
noted the complete absence of birds
from the battlef1elds of northern
France and the consequent profusion
Of spiders and other cognate crawling
things. Birds always desert scenes Of
heavy gunflre; and, what is more, they
often do not return for many years.
All birds left the theater Of war in
South Africa, and 1t is only now-14
years later-that they are returning.
Meanwhile South Africa has suffered
from a vexatious plague Of ground in
sects-"tecks." as they call them over
there. 1t is not supposed that the
African birds left the country, but
that they merely retired to some re.
mote and peaceful part of the veldt.

A Lovers" Quarrel

That was a pathetic story the
news dispatches carried out of Dem
yer the other day, about the old
bachelor millionaire on his deathbed,
who sent for the woman to whom he
had been betrothed forty years ago.
When both were young, and poor,
they loved each other, and day was
set for the wedding. Before 1t came
they quarreled over some trifing
thing, as lovers always quarrel, ana
in the heat of his anger he went
away.
The years went by and James NJ.
Wilson became u millionaire. But
his love for Carrie Hurd remained,
and he never married.
When he was dying last week his
mind went bach TO the sweetheart OF
his youth, to the strolls with her In
the starlight down the flower-scent-
ed lane, and he saw her face raised
again to his, and heard her merry
laughter, and there surged into his
heart a feeling of remorse. Perhaps
he had wronged her in leaving her
so, and a great longing came over
him to see her once more before he
died, if she was yet alive.
No doubt she had married, perhaps
she had forgotten him. No matter,
he wanted to see her.
And so, to humor him, they sent
word back there to the old home
town. But she was not there. Long
years ago she had gone away.
Where? To Denver.
They found her there, where she
had lived for years, just to be near
the man she loved, where she could
see him once in a while without his
seeing her or knowing that she was
near.
His last hours we're cOnsoled by
her presence and his will gives her
fortune. But that does not atone
for the suffering that trivial "lov-
ers' quarrel was permitted to bring
into their lives. 1t is a curious trait
of human nature that so often men
and women will allow some minor
