 | In an exuberence of good spirits. an other smile crossed her lips and she skip ped a little as she hurried along. The tea rom as Frances entered tn, door, was deserted. It was too early 1T the afternoon for the place to have many of its usual patrons, and this time the girl tok her place at table in one corner without being seen.
 It was fifteen minutes before the door opened. Frances looked up with an ex. presson of anticipation, but the new 1 conner was man well into middle life, a little gray about the temples, stoop- shoudered and with a face lined and scanned with anxiety. This person had rcthing to do with Red Larkin's gang He was a stranger to the place, or SC Frances decided as she watched him Then to her unbounded surprise he walked directly to her table and held out his hand.
 Hello. Mary" he said heartily. 'I mad some little trip out from Chicago
 Lucky enough there was no one in the room to see Frances astonshment. A low cry escaped from her lips, and she sat back in her chair gripping the edge cf the table as though for support
 The man was Henry Ballin, disguised so perfectly that he could have paSseo muster in any company. no matter how l ell that company might have known the young lawyer whose name was embel- fishing the front page of the daily papers
 "Why---" Frances gasped. T df1n't know-' Collecting her scattered wits with an effort, she rose to her feet and threw her arms around the mans shoul- ders. Jimmy" she exclaimed. Gee, I'm glad to get you back"
 , I'm glad to get back, kid,' Ballin an- swered. Believe me, riding the rods from Chicago to this town ain't no slouch of a job. He caught Frances to him and witk his lips against her ear, whispered in ton that was barely audible:
 ''The door at your back just opened Be careful. Someone is listening to us.
 With a faint motion of her head, the girl signified that she understood then with a quick movement, she stood hack from him, still holding his hands and eyeing him with critical interest. Her oo- servation was two-fold. She was search ing for flaws in his disguise, and at the same time she was giving the impression, should any eyes be there to see, that she was only greeting him as a sweetheart should be greeted.

 Does it pay?" the man asked quickly.
 Not yet" Frances laughed. But give it time"
 He was on the point of answering this statement when the door leading from the kitchen opened and Mrs. Langdon entered, to view Balln with absorbed in- terest not unmixed with suspicion.

 Immediately Tom and Jerry, two of her g 'ho"lmates,i appear or the scene and dive into the aforementioned and aforesaid raging torrent, and between them they do d daring rescue and drag Mary to the saore. where she stands up in her wet clothes to show what fine figure she has,
 "Of course, both Tom and Jerry fan in love with Mary and one is light and the other dark. and each is as nice and as good looking as the other, she has hard time trying to decide and matters still stand three to three at the end of tNe fifth inning, which is graduation day.

l. Does the taking of maple sap exhaust the tree?
 Sap-letting does not seem to be an ex- haustive process to the trees, as the trees of a sugar bush appear to be as thrifty and as long-lived as other trees. They come to have a maternal, large waisted look, from the wounds of the a<e or the auger and that is about all.

 The veery, or Wilson's. thrush is the least of the thrushes in size being about that of the common bluebird, and he may be distinguished from his relatives by the dinness of the spots upon his breast. The wood thrush has very clear distinct oval spots on a white ground; in the hermit, the spots run more into lines, on a ground Of faint blush white in the veery the marks are almost obsolete. and a Few reds off his breast presents only a dull yeilowtsh appearance.
