CHAPTER XIV.
The SONG of a Thrush.

ne song OF nruSHs
Twentieth of June, and the world at
high tide; the woods full of cradles,
and each cradle housing lusty baby;
the weak gone back to earth, the fit
that survive beginning to test wing
and claw. Streams and woodland
pools grow languid with millions mat
ing. Each leaf has reached its maxi
mum of lung expansion. The trees
breathe deep. The forest has settled
down seriously to the business Of full
filling its promises. Cocoon and chrys-
alis have opened and flung forth their
glitterIng mysteries. Furnished bodies
and gauzy wings glance and glitter
through yellow sunshine and soft
shade, like flakes of star dust sitting
down out of the sky.
But If the woods have many cradles,
they also have many graves. There
was new one this placid June evening
at Fallen Rock-a new one beside the
one that was almost new. There were
orchids upon them both. A man and
maid had together hunted the woods
for them. Only such as they could
have found so many. Only to her fav-
orites does nature show the way to her
treasures.
The stanch old Boss and hard-faced
Bull Masterson were back at their
watts and clam rakes. Billy's grand
mother was staying at the cabin OF
the three gables few days for COM
pany.
The Pearlhunter came from the vii
lage in the still evening. Along the
dim, slim path through the woods he
came, against the face of the sunset. 4

T,..e Portuguese boast of their forest
at Easaco, where there are over two
hundred kinds of imported trees IN full
anc gigantic growth. But there is no
other country in the whole world
where so mcny varieties of imported
trees flourish US in the British isles,
and Kew has specimens of nearly all
of them. Not only original, or, rather,
natural varieties are to be seen at
Kew, bat Others which owe their being
to the cunning of man. The latter are
graft-hybrids of extraordinary interest.
In the year 1926 a French gardener
grated prrple-flowered cytisus on
laburnum stock. branch developed,
which produced flowers intermediate
between the stock and the scion. You
can see a specimen of this hybrid
among the laburnums l. bears not
only the hybrid flowers but also flow
ers and leaves Characteristic of both
its parents. The Laburnum Adami is

tween the common thorn and the

Near the turn of the path he stopped

the song carried certain delicious,
elusive witchery that no bird throat

the magic of song. A lady cardinal

down for hurried peck at the crumbs

The tears drowned the blue; the
song ceased. The birds fiuttered away
one by one. The girl bowed her head
and stood with clasped hands, gazing
down at the quiet water.
The mans step reused her. She
turned, and her hands unclasped as if
to reach toward him-but instantly
clasped themselves again. He turned
from the path, stepped out on the rock
and came to her side. A moment her
eyes met his, and then went back to
the placid water, and she stood crying
softly.
