in their marking. And often this Is
true o. the same individual bird. At
least one long, infcrtile egg is included
in the clutch OF house sparrow, be-
sides several eggs that are of dark

One may find a dozen clutches that
contain some one type quite different
from the rest.
The tree sparrow also lays one al

clutch Some birds always lay an I'M
colored egg, such as the golden eagle,

vary much more than others in color

the common birds that lay eggs which
vary considerably; Robin, linnet,

event, at least to BARLEY, was looked
forward to as very pleasant occa-
sion.
Laura looked serious and sad when,
the first of May just after their mar
riage, BARLEY saw his uncle pass by
his little home In an automobile with
out even looking at him. Stiff and
prim the old man sat up in the rear
seat of the machine, his stern angry
eyes fixed persistently straight ahead
of him. BARLEY sighed. He had heard
OF the ill-timed boasts of Guy that che
had got on the soft side of the old
money maker" and BARLEY knew that
Guy, with his covert sneers to grace
less companions concerning his bene-
factor and his general dissolute
career, made him unworthy of the
favors Mr. Ashe bestowed upon him.
Now the second visit of Mr.. Ashe
was anticipated along the last days of
October. Always when the time came
around Laura looked sad and wor-
ried

was recovering from one of his period

uncle had checked him up short. Mr..
Ashe had written from place called
Beacon, saying that he would leave
there Tuesday evening and after d
brief stop at his home would come on
to Linden. Therefore he might pop
in on Guy at any moment
What worried Guy was that he
might not have time to doctor up his
accounts, so as to present the usual
plausible showing of profits with
which he usually succeeded in pull.

Norton.
1t was Mrs. Norton who rose early
one morning and spent an hour before
breakfast in washing and scrubbing
an old flight of stairs in her shed, al
though carpenters were coming that
day to tear down the stairs and build
a new flight She did not intend that
those carpenters should have an oppo-
tunity to tell their wives that any
part of her house was not "as neat as
wax" But the fayorite story that
Mrs. Norton's neighbors tell relates

Question for the Occult.

A story was once related of lady
who strongly objected for certain rea-
sons to having her photograph taken.
One day she died; she was laid to
rest in her coffin, where she remained
two days. On the second day pho
tograph of her was taken by the To-
cal photographer. Next day she was
buried. Two days later the photog-
rapher came around in great state
of excitement, saying that, although
he had carefully developed his plate,
not mark was to be found on 1t.
Where the face should have been was
a blank spacel Now. the possible ex-
PLANTATION is that the still active will
of this person was being exercised in
some such occult manner. to the end
that she interfered with the light
rays coming from her face sufficiently
to prevent Its image being recorded.

Remarkable Double Tree.

There is said to be in Kentucky a
tree bearing each year crop of wal.
nuts and crop of mulberries; and
the curious phenomenon is accounted
for by the supposition that mulberry
seed fell where a walnut lay in the
ground, and the young shoots came up
side by side and united their forces
INTO one solid trunk. This supposi-
ton seems feasible from the fact that
the bark OF the tree is on one side
that Of, walnut and on the other that
OF the mulberry.
