America for two years, taking care Of
his company's interests there
When he returned Turner applied for
his final papers IN order 20 become q

application was refused on the ground
that he had been out of the country
during the 1ve-year period The lav
stipulates. the Official advised him. that
an applicant for final citizenship papers
must have had five years contiuaoua
residence IN this country.
Turner took an appeal. urging before

physically been out Of the country, ID

The court, learning the facts. awarded
Turner his final papers. stating:
IT has been established BY q long
line OF authorities that Congress did
not mean by this enactment that an

see, in the Winter Reddy seldom knows
what il Is TO be filed up. There Is very
little of the time that he isn't hungry
just now he was particularly hungary.
At once Reddy began to plan. If only
he could know just where Peter was
going he might be able to give him a
surprise party, an unpleasant surprise
party. He knew how likely Peter is 70
change his mind. He was headed
toward the Old Orchard now, but at
any minute he might change his mind
and start over toward the Green Forest
He might even turn back into the dear
Old Briar-patch. So Reddy decided
that the thing for him to do was to re-
main right there and watch. So he
did it.
Peter seemed TO be In no hurry. He
hoped along in most leisurely way.
To see him you would have thought
that he had nothing whatever on his
mind. He would hop along few c.cps
and then sit down Then he would
hop along a few steps farther Some
times he turned off to one side and
sometimes he turned off to tine other,
which was one thing that made 1t so
uncertain where he was bound for.
Finally, when, as Reddy expressed 1t.
he was nowhere" he sat down very
much as II he intended TO stay there.
He was right out In the open. There
was no place for Reddy to approach
him without being seen.
Il suppose" thought Reddy, that
/ could run away around and get over
10 the Old Orchard and wait for him
there. But IL should do that IL would
be just like him to turn around and
come over here"
So for a while Reddy remained where
he was. Then he discovered that Peter
didn't seem TO be going anywhere IN
particular. He remained right out
where he was. in plain sight, without
any shelter or place Of safety that one
could see.
II could get near enough" thought
Reddy, II might be able TO walk that
fellow down The whole thing is TO
get near enough before he discovers me
Now, IL only had Mrs. Reddy to work
with me believe We could do II. Mrs
Reddy would show herself and while
Peter was watching her would have a
chance TO get fairly near. Ha! Peter
sees something and now Is my chance!' T.
Sure enough, Peter was sitting up
| With his back toward Reddy and LOOK
ing very intently over toward the Green
Forest. Presently Reddy made out q
fat spot moving along the edge of the
Green Forest. 1t was Black Pussy the
Cat. Peter with his usual curiosity was
| watching her.

may be parlor ornament. but 1t Is
not an herbarium. although many must
think so. to judge by the frequency
with which such collections are proudly
offered to botanical museums. It Is

professionally prepared and identified
and sorted into dustproof, insectproof
cases.
AS to what practical value such COL
lections may have I shall not attempt
the feeble task of trying to estimate
financial value. Pure science is its own
excuse, like art. But If you ask of
what possible interest an herbarium
may be. you ask more reasonable
question.
To many the plants shelved away In
the Smithsonian are but dried weeds.
yet TO the nature lover who Is scientific
as well as eSthetic there comes a thrill
as he lifts up sheet bearing a plant
gathered. perhaps. by the hand of Asa
Gray. Nuttall. the eccentric Rofinasoue
or the romantic Michaux. The very
