Everything looked so different
from what 1t had done when they
left II only three days ago.
The flowers in the garden beds
were beaten down by the rain. The
house was almost in darkness, and
silent--so silent.
Eva shivered as she followed her
husband into the hall. She felt as
IL a lifetime must have passed
since she was here before.
A red-eyed maid took her coat
and bag; she heard Phillip asking
where his mother was; heard Mrs.
winterdicks' voice from upstairs.

She was glad: she felt instinct

would be a kind friend to her.
She wondered why he colored as
their eyes met.

''Father-or Peter, or any OF them?"
She felt that she had been away

Tam stood on the doorstep until

There are many people alive to-
day. probably, who saw the trained

the large cities of the United States
some thirty OF forty years ago"
tThe book was written about twenty
years ago. These little creatures
had been taught to perform mill
tary evolutions, to dance, to draw
miniature carts, to feign death, etc.,
at the command of their owner and
trainer.
"The mere fact that they pos
sessed memory enough to learn, re-
tain and remember their lessons is
not proof positive of reason. but
the fact of tbeir having restrained
their natural tendency and desire to
escape, when they could so easily
crafty such desire or tendency, Is
q potent factor In an argument for
their possession Of the ratiocinative
faculty.

their heads to no purpose against

In Calligsn's kind voice. He
knew what bitter blow this
would be to his friend.
He was desperately sorry for
Eva, too. What a home coming
for her. For "a moment Philip
stood quite still. Great as the
dread In his heart had been, he
had not expected anything so bad
as this. The shock robbed him
of all power of speech or even
thought. Then he began to walk
on blindly.
Eva followed with Calligan. The
tears were running down her
cheeks. She had had such

they were poor. and now IL seem
