GAME FOR FOOD.

A Washington letter from the Divi-
don Of Publications says:

I'd in a total return, in actual food
Ealue to the hunters of the United
states, of more than 10000, 600.
Btate officials have notified the bio
ogical survey of the United States
department. Of agriculture that in Min
besota alone hunters report $685.
100 ducks killed in 1919. AS each of
ehese birds may be considered to have
food value Of at least IS cents, the
Total return from them in food to this
bne state was about $1,500,0Oo. If
had been possible to sell these
birds, they would have brought twice
HAT amount. The great value of
knme to the country is thus made
kvident."
1.-The letter then goes on to tell of the
Excellent effect of the migratory bird
law In increasing the number Of game
birds, and Of the great r~ecreational
kalue to the country OF the preserva-
Hon Of these birds.
The migratory bird law is a good

The conditions in those particular

CHAPTER Iv-Condnued. =
Il can't bear to think it's all over
except that life itself is one grand ad-
venture and probably, after a little,
I'll look back on the school days and
think how empty they were .of-real
at the frail white hand that clasped
her own, thought with a sort Of
shock that life was scarcely an adj
venture for poor Miss Milly.
But Miss Milly answered content
eddy. II love to hear all about it..
I'm glad you had it. my dear I
hope you'll come in and talk with me
often-it's like sunshine hearing
your young voice!"
ooh. 1 shall like to. You won't
think I'm dreadful, will you, if I tell
you that Aunt Sabrina frightens me
awfully and 50 does B'lindy-just a
little. But o don't seem a bit like

to you. And, please, Aunt Milly, will
you call NE Nancy? No has ever

her"
"Yes-she would be! OF course I
shall call you Nancy-or anything
that you wish! I can't be much
company for you, dear, tied to this
couch, but you can bring a great deal
of happiness to me-"
A wistful CLEAN in Aunt ,Milly's
eyes made Nancy lean owe and kiss
her again. At that moment h door
opened and Aunt Sabrina walked in.
Then it seemed to Nancy as though a
shadow crossed Miss Milly's face. The
| glow in her eyes died completely. She
seemed to shrink back among the
cushions.
"Oh, you have met our niece" Aunt
Sabrina said in her colo voice and
with no curiosity as to how it had
happened. g..
Nancy looked at Aunt Milly. and
Aunt Milly's glance. seemed to say:

Aunt Sabrina nodded as though to
approve such action. Her yes turn

B'lindy's washed the other cover for

enough to iron. The color didn't run
a bit-they'll be more sensible than

"Oh. yes, they'll be more sensible"

is TT CHAMBERLAIN?

This name belongs to the class OF
official nomenclature and like
Stewart is derived from what was
originally a Uore humble Office than
# later came to be. The chamber
lain was probably in early times an
Official attached 10 the household OF
a king or lord. though It later came
TO be restricted to very high judicial
Office. The name is spelled in vari-
Gus ways in old records. though at
the present time the only forms
usually found. besides Chamberlain,
are Chamberlin and Chamberlen.
The spelling Chamberlain is very
much more usual than the others.
Chamberlayne is usual form in old
records both here and in England.
One Of the large families OF the
name in England claimed descent
from the counts OF Cantarville, who
were hereditary chamberlains OF the
dukes Of Normandy and early Nor
man kings OF England.
During the reigns OF the Stewart
kings there were number OF noted
physicians belonging TO a French
family OF Chamberlains. This family
is said TO have been founded in Eng
land by william Chamberlain. a
Huguenot who fed TO England in the
reign OF Queen Elizabeth. They
