Birds EIx From Battle.

One Of the war correspondents has
noted the complete absence Of birds
from the battlehelds OF northern
France and the consequent profusion
Of spiders and other cognate crawling
things. Birds always desert scenes Of
heavy gunfre; and, what is more, they
often do not return for many years.
All birds left the theater of war In
South Africa, and it is only MOVIE
years Iater-that they are returning.
Meanwhile South Africa has suffered
from Texatious plague of ground in
sects-"tecks," as they call them over
there It 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.

His voice choked. Then, her hands
strayed up, and clasped themselves
about his head.

someone had struck her, you've cut

But he wished that he had not had to
rake that excuse Then, being hon

heved that he had been outcast by his
uncle and herself, he had had his mo
ments Of doubt. Now that it was all so
clear, now that there could never be
doubt, he wanted the woman who had
been so true a friend to know the girl
whom he loved. He loved them both,
but was in love with only one. He
wanted TO present to Sally the friend
who had made him, and to the friend
who had made him the Sally Of whom
he was proud. He wanted to tell
Adrienne that now he could answer
her question-that each Of them meant
to the other exactly the same thing;
they were friends of the rarer sort,
who had for little time been in dan
ger Of mistaking their comradeship for
passion.
As they talked, sitting on the stile,
Sally held the rife across her knees.
Except for their own voices and the
soft chorus Of night sounds, the hills
were wrapped in silence-a silence as
soft as velvet.

After a moments pause, Samson
added:

The girl drew back, with a fright

or thought she did.

Capt. Sidney Callomb, who had been
dispatched in command Of a militia
company to que1 the trouble in the
mountains, should have been a soldier
by profession. All his enthusiasms
were martial.
The deepest sorrow and mortifca-
ton he had ever known was that which
came to him when TamaTack Spicer,
his prisoner of war and a man who had
been surrendered on the strength of
his personal guaranty. had been as
sassinated before his eyes. In some
fashion, he must make amends. He
realized, too, and it ranked deeply,
that his men were not being genuinely
used to serve the state, but as instru-
ments Of the .HoIlmans, and he had
seen enough to distrust the HoIlmans.
Here, in Hixon. he was seeing things
