Robert Browning was not supersti-
tious. He did not have to be super
atttiolG in the case Of Miss Arabel Bar
rett's dream warning In order to be
impressed by It. It was a striking oc-
cuTence-one to arouse the conjecture
OF q reasonable, thinking person. Nat
urally, he made note of it in his note
book.
The whole world knows the story Of
the poets love for another poet, Eliza
beth Barrett; of their elopment and
happy marriage, and of her death years
afterward In his arms.
Seven years later the sister of Eliza
beth Barrett Browning, Miss Arabel
Barrett also died in Browning'S arms.
1t seems TO have been the mission of
the robust but tender-hearted poet to
bring peace and comfort to the Barrett
women in tragic times.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning died on
June 20, 1861. Not quite two years had
passed when, on the night Of Sunday,
July 10, 1853, Miss Arabel Barrett had
O strange dream.
She thought, In the dream, that Eliza
beth Barrett Browning appeared to her,
whereupon she, Arabel, propounded this
question:
when will the day come on which
We shall be reunited?"
To this question the dream person
atty of Mrs. Browning replied:
MY dear, in five years"
Naturally Miss Arabel was consider
ably upset by the dream. That there
was TO be an interim of five years be-
fore her translation from this life to an
other was not particularly comforting
to her. She spoke of 1t the next day tC
Robert Browning.
1T was so realistic that it has left

Jail Preferred.

SolA I ACACLIGus
The natural destiny of all women is
to become a mother-in-law at some
AS such we will be interested in and
perhaps learn lesson from the strange
case of man who gladly accepted 30
DAYS in jail rather than make peace
with his mother-ln-lawl
X y \
The man even went SO far as TO say
that a 30-day sentence would be the
first vacation he had ever had from
five years Of terror.
The facts, as reported In the news
papers, are as follows:
The defendant was charged with
blackening the eyes Of his mother in
law. He pleaded guilty. He told the
court that FIVE years ago his mother-in-
law came to live with him, his wife and
had had lived happily with his wife for
four years. But from that day on, he
said, his life became miserable.
You'd think it was her wife and her
children I was taking care of instead Of
mine" he told the court. You'd think
she was the husband and head of the
family and that / was a rank outsider.
I have given in to her in every way
imaginable on my wtfe's account-but
fellow can stand just so much, and
I'm worn out"
~
Finally the pressure grew too much
for him and he blew up. He said he
lost his mind temporarily and in his
rage struck his mother-in- law.
The judge suggested that If the hus-
band would make up with his mother.
in-law everything would be all right,
otherwise he would have to go to jaii
for 80 days.
The husband firmly refused to make
peace. He said a jail sentence. would
be blessed relief. He went to jail.
On general principles am inclined
to Sympathize with the unfortunate
husband. OF course, do not approve
of the beating he gave his mother-in-
law. It was very bad, especially so be-
cause, as I say, the natural destiny of
all women is at some time in life to
become a mother in-law. But I do
think he is pathetic figure.
The bad thing about publicity of this
kind is that good motherS-in -law-and
they are legion-suffer on account of
those who. like the one in this case.
arrogate to themselves sole power to
regulate the family affairs of their
children.
AS a matter of right and policy.
motherS-in-law who 60 to live with
their children should be pleasant seem
ery-not noisy meters to domestic
fights, which lead to all-around un-
happiness.

This Is a picture of the lives many
people live. They want happineSs they
want all the blessedness life can give

Browning was deeply interested IN
the phenomena. It stuck in his mind,
and 30 the next day he made o note Of
1t In his memorandum book.
We all know how time slips by with
out our noticing 1t. When Arabel Bar
rett died in June, 1858, Browning prac-
tically had forgotten the dream warning
Of death his wife was supposed to have
brought her. In the hour of death he
remembered 1t and consulted his notes.
He found that the prophecy had come
true in flve years, lacking a month.

had gone by, and that therefore two
years were yet wanting for the realiza-

By d. C. PEATTM.

Summer and Winter, Master Grow Is
ubiquitous; the whole Of the CheSa-
peake Basin, indeed, is accounted crow
country by the ornithologiSts-they call
it center of distribution for the great
tribe of crow-but it is hard to believe
that at any season they distribute
themselves at any great distance from
this region. I have mentioned Sum-
ner and Winter as crow seasons, not
because the crows are not as plentiful
in Spring and Autumn, but because
other birds distract us then. But I
have always regarded the dead of Sum-
mer as more birdleSS, less lively for the
ornithologist, than the dead of Winter.
So now, once again, Master Crow claims
our attention. His sultry caw-caw is
the most characteristic sound of a
blazing Summer afternoon, when the
smell OF sunburned grass rises up all
about you and the heat ShimmerS on
the foothills of the Blue Ridge, and
the brambles, ''plucking you by stealth,
put berries in your hands"
The crows, it is admitted by even the
most skeptical old scientist I know
possess a language. You will hear 1t
freely talked these Summer days If you
wander in the lonelier places At your
approach a sentinel on a dead tree will
warn the feeding flock; there will
be gabbling and scolding and flap
ping Of sable wings. Then silence. To
hear the crow language "Spake as she
is spoke" you should sleep in tent
and hear the gossip on the crow ex-
change. The language then indeed
sounds almost like words; beyond any
doubt there is vocabulary of SO to 100
sounds. That they all mean something
seems more than probable when you
consider the crafty intelligence of the
crow. But am confident, from having
listened long on Summer dawnS inside
my tent that the crows that sit and CAB
BILE thus are merely doing it in many
cases for the pleasure of talking, like
boys sending wireless messages to each
other merely for the fun of it.

old Mother Nature.
Egret the White Heron was making
himself quite at home at the Smiling
Pool. 1t was his first visit there. Peter
Rabbit and Jerry Muskrat had seen him
arrive, and as they watched the great
white bird come sailing in in stately
fashion on those broad wings of his
they thought that somehow there must
be something wrong with their eyes.
That he was a Heron they knew in
stantly. He couldn't be anything but a
, Heron. However, neither had ever even
heard of an all-white Heron, nor one
with such beautiful plumes as they soon
discovered Egret carried on his back.
Egret had explained that once upon
time members of his family used to
come as far North, but that 1t was a
long time since any of them had VEN
tured quite so far. He had told Peter
and Jerry how his family had been
destroyed by feather hunters, who
wanted those beautiful plumes for
women to wear. It was a dreadful story
The mere thought of it made Peter
shiver.
IT don't suppose" said Peter at last
that there is any other member Of your
family with such beautiful plumes
Never have I seen anything like them
They are the most wonderful feathers
that bird could have"
I'm glad you like them" replied
Egret. II think myself that they are
rather nice. AS I told you before, we
EgretS have them only at this season.
However, you are wrong in thinking
that no one else has such beautiful
plumes. I have a smaller cousin who is
handSomer than I. Yes, sir, am forced
to admit 1t. have a cousin who not
only has lovelier plumes than mine
growing from the back but also has a
beautiful crest on the back of the head
These plumes of mine are straight, but
the plumeS of my cousin turn upward
at the end. don't mean to be envious,
but sometimes when l see that cousin
OF mine at this time Of year it is hard
not to have just little envy"
If he is your cousin, of course he Is
member of the Heron family" said
Peter.
Not only is he Heron but he is an
Egret, which shows how closely related
ne Is, replied the big white bird.
II your name is Egret and his name
is Egret, should think you would be
mixed up most of the time" said Peter.
We are not" replied Egret. you
see, 1t Is this way: 1 am called lust
Egret most Of the time, while he Is
called Snowy Egret. That is because

tinge to my plumes, but his are always
