Irene Smith gratefully.

In one town AL felt so good that a

he just took of the old Brown Derby
and cast 1t out to her like it was q

That beat throwing his hat in the ring.
Here he was casting the old Brown

and nobody to hurt you-why don't
you clear out and leave me alone?"
So Constance cleared out.
She knew, as she went down the gray
stone steps, that Sophy was already
knocking on Lowell'S door. Sophy had
said, - He isn't getting off as easily
as that ! And there had been pas
sionate menace in the tremor of Sophy's
soft mouth. Constance wondered
vaguely and reluctantly-for an instant
only-what moments like this, between
man and a woman, might mean.
Flame that scared the living flesh
wounds that went to the bone-but
flame and wound, both, barring the
heart of life. At least, in such mo-
ment, the blood must run hot and the
pulse beat hard. At least there must
be the binding intimacy Of conflict.
Constance's mouth took on a rigid
line. She said to herself, TITS all too
disgusting!" She hailed a taxi and
got into it. She had remembered, in
what connection was not quite clear to
her and she did not trouble to trace
it, that she had not in several days
seen Irene Smith, and Irene, since her
trouble, depended rather pitifully upon
Constance.
Sunset was flushing the end Of the
street. There was in the clear, cool
air an intangible whisper of Autumn,
the unseen, unSpoken hint of sadness
that only an october dusk can bring.
Constance gave the brim of her hat
tug and shook the fur about her
shoulders closer. An utterly irrele-
want line of Browning sang through
her understanding about Venice,
it's dear, dead beauties. What's be-
come of all the gold, used to hang and
brush their boSomS? n. feel chilly
and grown odd"
Chilly and grown old-a ridiculous
feeling. Constance decided sharply
that she would not again have lobster
for luncheon. One had only oneself
to thank for a gloomy outlook after
ward. She sat erect and unsmiling
while the taxi lurched eastward, one
unbeautiful block after another.

English Sparrows.

THE English sparrow has so few
friends In this country that It is
interesting to learn that there Is some
one to put in a good word for him. The
Government naturalists have gathered
data with reference to the sturdy little
alien. derived from careful study of
the good habits of the foreigner.
With all his faults, 1t Is claimed, the
English sparrow does some good by as
sisting in the work OF destroying the
seeds Of noXious plants. Flocks of thou
sands of these birds may be seen in va
rious parts of our country. feeding upon
crabgrass and yardgraSS, two weeds that
crowd out good turf-making grasses.
The little rowdy also deserves credit
for destroying seeds Of the dandeiion.
In the destruction Of dandelion seeds
the sparrow Is aided by several native
birds, notably the song sparrow. So
far as observed. the native birds do not
usually cut open dandelions. but feed
upon those left BY the English spalTow.
