 "Oh-I know" struggling his shoulders in true collegian's style. 'I understand my lesson" Der Der met her look. 'I had the gift of mental unrestraint, if you choose to call it that" he summed up, 'and was of no use in the world. Now I have the curse of mental restraint and can particl- pate with others in their curse" Suddenly aware of her helpless dismay and pain, the boy laughed again, but this time with a slight nervousness she had never before seen in him. "Why, we are not in earnest, dear Mrs. Strang" It was with coaxing, manly respect that he reminded her of that. ''We are only joking, playing with an

seem a burden to one who had hitherto talked with flowers. played with shadows. Berber. however, seemed hardly to hear her; there was no tenseness in the youth's bearing; he merely gazed thoughtfully past her efforts, re beating:
 ''No-I wish they had not taught me- I have not really gained knowledge by being taught"
 Mrs. Strang was genuinely pug Z1ed- Yet she understood; it was merely theories about life that he had gained. Again she called to mind sentence in Doctor Milton s letter: ''I know that you have followed the case in such a way as to understand what would be your responsibility toward this newly made human soul" Was it right to question Berber? Could it be actually harmful to him to go on? And yet was it not her only chance, after years of faithful waiting?
 Trying to keep her voice steady, she reproaehed him:
 NO? With all that being edu- cated means, all the gift for hu- manity?"
 The young fellow seemed not to get her meaning. He picked up the garden fork. ThoughtfuIly scraping the damp earth from its prOngs, he repeated, Al that 1t means for humanity"
 Why not'-urging the thing little blibly-'Why not? You can

tongue seemed to dry in her mouth. Besides, the abashed woman needs must pause before a silence that to her strained sense seemed rebuking. She glanced furtively up at the youth stand ing there. It troubled the mis- tress of Heartholm to realize that her protege was staring gravely at her, as if she had proposed some guilty and shameful thing
 At last Berber, with a boyish sigh, seemed to shake the whole matter off. He turned to his bulbs; half at random he caught up a pruning-knife, cutting vim dictively into one of them. For. then the young gardener called his mistress's attention to the severed root in his hand.
 "A winy-looking thing, isn't it? See those red fbers? Why shouldn't such roots, and nuts like those great, furnished horse chestnuts there-yes, and cattails, and pokeberries, and skunk cab bages, give forth an entirely new outfit of fruits and Vegetables?" Berber smiled his young ruminat- ing smile; then, with inevitable courtesy, he seemed to remember that he had not answered her question. 'I am not surprised that you and MT. Strang thought such things about me. I wonder that you have not questioned me be- fore-only you see now-I can't answer!" The boy gave her his

slow, serious smile, reminding her.
 You must remember that I am like 8 forefgner-on1y worse off, for foreigners pick up few words for their most vital needs, and I have no words at a1l-for what for what vital things I used to know-so that perhaps in time I shall come to forget that I ever knew anything different from from-other persons knowledge" Berber paused, regarding his mis- tress intently, as if wistfully try ing to see what she made of all this. Then he continued:
 "One of our professors at col lege died, and the men of his class were gloomy; some even cried, others could not trust themselves to speak of him. I noticed that they all called him poor Landworth. I could see that they felt something the way do when I miss out on a chemical ex- pertinent, or spoil valuable speci- men-only more so-a great deal more" The boy knit his brows, puzzling it all out. Well, it's queer. I liked that professor, too; he was very kind to me-but when I saw him dead I felt glad-gladi Why'-Berber looked at her searchingly-''I grew to be afraid some one would find out how gladi"
 The young fellow, still anxious ly searching her face, dropped his voice. You are the only person I dare tell this to-for I under

idea. I think you can trust me-" added John Berber, quietly THE surprised woman felt she
 could indeed trust" him;
 that Berber was absolutely captain Of the self which educa- tion had given him; but that from time to time he had been curious of another self he had been un- wise enough to let her see. She silently struggled with her own nature, knowing that were she judicious she would take that mo- ment to rise and leave him. Such action, however, seemed impos- sible now. Here was, perhaps, revelation, discovery All the convictions of her lonely, breeding life were on her. Temptation again seized her. With her long ing to have some clue to that spirit world she and her husband had believed in,. it semed forewritten, imperative, inevita ble, that she re main. Trying to control herself, she fumbled desperately on:
 When you were little, MT. Strang and I used to notice-we grew to think-that because you had been shut away from contact with other minds, because you had never been told what to see, as children are told, Look at the fire See the water and so for ever regard those things in just that way, not seeing-other things Oh, we thought that perhaps perhaps
 It was futile, incoherent; her

have bitten off her tongue with that needless speech on it. Young Berber, however, seemed hardly to have heard her; he stood there, the "GargoyIe' look still in his eyes, gazing past his mistress into some surrounding mystery of air element. It was to her, watching him, as if those breeding, dilated pupils might behold, besides in ffnitesimaI mystery of chemical atoms, other -colorless pools of air where swan, like sea anemOnes, radiant forms of re- leased spirit; invisible life-trees trembling with luminous fruit of occult being!
 When Berber turned this look, naked as a sword, back to Evelyn Strang, she tnvoluntarily shivered. But the boys face was unconsci- ous. His expression changed only to the old casual regard as he said, very simply:

New Way.-A Michigan lumberman
tells little story to illustrate the un-
willingness of the Irishman generally
to acknowledge his ignorance of any
subject.
One day a young Celt applied for
work.
Can you raft and boom logs" asked
the lumberman.
"Shure, can," replied the unem-
ployed, with cheering promptness.>
Then" said the lumberman, "go up
on the gap above the railroad bridge
and boom all the logs you find with
my mark. Any of the raftsmen will
tell you about the mark, the locality
of the gap, and so forth"
The Irishman hesitated q moment,
and then, with an ingenious smile he
said:
"Shure I'll be goin' directly, sir. Do
We boom the logs as we do in the ould
country, dunno? Is it with shovel
We boom 'em, sir, or how?"

ADDED APPROPRIATION TO -EN
ABLE RIGID INSPECTION OF
CITRUS CANKER

Because of the discovery recently
of a pocket Of infection of citrus cank-
er near Davie, Florida, congress made
supplemental appropriation of $780,
000 in addition to the regular appro-
priation of $4,000 to fight the disease
in the Gulf States. Since the disease
is easily spread from orchard to or
chard by men working in them, care
full inspection is necessary and much
of the appropriation Will be spent for
this purpose.
To date in this outbreak II proper
ties in Florida have been found infect
ed with total of about $50 diseased
trees. These orchards, together with
the discovery this season of a few in
fected spots in Alabama and Miss
issippi, have emphasized the neces-
sity of continuing the inspection work
on more adequate scale throughout
the present season and probably for
longer period.

BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE TO FLOR
IDA

There's a land of orange blossoms,
Where the sun in magic shines
Where the breeze is making music,
Mid the oaks and stately pines; 4
And the call of hearty welcome
From the seas that kiss her shores
Is like unto the latch-strings
That hang outside her doors;
And the wildwood or the hammock,
Where the sweet magnolias bloom,
Invites both camp and cottage
With its free, unhampered room
Tranquil lakes that mirror the hea-
vens
Where the launch and sailboats
glide.
Seem to have a wordless message
Like the coming of the tide.
There's a call from Sunny Florida.
Where the S'wanne River flows
Where the mocking birds are sing
ing
And the spreading palm tree grows,
And strawberries with the redness
Of the blushing maiden's mouth;
There's land of love and beauty
In the state that's farthest south.
There's a land Of golden future
In the presence of today;
There's welcome on the waters
And the shores of Tampa Bay;
There is spring in winter-time;
And the bud of youth is blooming
In the heart of Florida's cline.
Soft and sweet with orange bios
SONS
Come the breezes from the sea
To home-seeker, fisher, hunter,
And a call to you and me.
