when she came to the mention of the boy she found she could not say a single word His name was not spoken.
 He listened to her with faint amusement. It was strange thf) such a little vagabond as she should cherish so quiet scene.
 Perhaps it was because her life had been so full of upheavals and changes from one place to another that the peace of that English par sonage haunted her A strange child, he unused. Whatever would become of her, tied to that futile make shift of father? For that Julian Lakes pretension to be a painter was dust flung in the eyes, Nicholas Thayer knew. The pie lures he had displayed with such pride last night had been abomin- able He was a shiftless idler and he would undoubtedly marry this child of his to some other vagrant like himself. Her instinct was right, he concluded; she should go home.
 What future could there be for her in Europe, where she had no background, no money, nothing but kind of eery charm for her whole fortune?
 Nora said suddenly, T met some one once named Thayer."
 There are several of the name, :" he said dryly.
 His name was Jonathon. He was tall and very fair"
 T had such a brother once," he said, studying her curiously, "in London about five years ago.
 He isnt--dead?" she breathed.

 He must be married by this time,' she tried to say with cas- ual indifference.

 Her finger tips were. Icy. She had to force the words out.

 She could not say another word.
 He walked away from her. She was tantalized almost beyond en- durance, but she waited
 Well" he said, smiling down at her, "say good-by to your father for me. don't like to say good-by."
 She did not want him to go, but she was not experienced enough to know how to make him stay She was a little angry too, that she had told him about herself, and that he pitied her. And she was dying to know more about Jon She stood up and went over to the blind that she had tried to open that morning and wrenched at il ] with fury. Thayer came over to her and leaning out thrust his fist at it. With a loud creaking il swung open. But Norah saw wher he had brought back his hand he had long ugly gash below ths thumb.
 You've cut yourself badly! Yol had better run water on it at once I'll get disinfectant in the medi. cine chest upstairs"
 She rushed upstairs to rummag, through the medicine chest witt it's half filled bottles with thei Italian labels.
 There was no disinfectant. Whel she went back he had wrapped hi hand in his handkerchief.

Chapter 3 CURIOUS NORA

Norah did not answer him a once, though speculating why thi! strange man had decided to leave The Villa Rosa with its pleasant old rooms was not comfortable enough, then, for him.
 T thought could work here, Nicholas continued, but it's no use I'll have to get out of Florence Soon I'll be summing myself and talking about the great things shall do some day"
 She read contempt for her father in the words. She knew too well his laziness, but his very weakness enlisted her sympathy.
 { Are you going to Tyrol?" she asked the thought darting through her mind that this might account for her fathers sudden change of plan.

"Oh, Julian, let's go home." she ex- claims when he tells her that they are going to the Tyr0l, leaving behind the Italian villa Mrs. Meyers has lent them, rcnt-free. Protesting when he tells her to borrow money for hcusehcId expenses from the painter, Nicholas Thayer, their guest, Nora is further dismay- cd at her fathers sly hint that she marry Thayer. Oddly, as she recalls, five years before she had met Jonathon Thayer, a youth of 20, who had strong ly impressed her, but Nicholas fThayer she dislikes from the first. When she goes to serve his breakfast, he tells her rath- CT harshly that he is leaving.

 Julian can't get on without someone to look out for him.
 His lips twisted in an amused smile as though the idea of looking out for her father was an absurd as it was pathetic.

Pinehurst, N. c., April 6.-(Rr
After four years Of campaigning over
the sloping fairways and sand

past five years, played well on the
out nine, rounding the turn l up with
a 80 to Maureen's 40. She faltered
on the early holes coming back, but

Maureen was 3 up, but struck trou-
bic and scared to seven on the hole,
losing 1t. She then halved the 10th

easy four and Maureen sank q five

Maureen having five and Virginia

Blizzard Halted
Birds Migration
Only Temporarily
A. c. Expert Reports That No
Bird Disasters Were Re-
ported Last Week
BY o. A. STEVENS
North Dakota Agricultural Collier,

1 IVOKt11 A0hVVSS 108A VSAVUA03 NV11CAO
The spring migration which was
progressing so nicely, received a Sc
| we're check when a belated blizzard
| struck North Dakota March &c. The
| storm did not last much more than
| one day, however, and no disaster in
| the bird world has been reported.
How do the birds behave under such
| conditions? They do very much Ike
! the rest of us. We stay at home as
| much as possible and eat what is in
the house instead Of venturing out to
get something more appetizing.
Ducks and geese may fly back
southwark, seeking open water. Many
people go south for the winter. Those
of us who can not do this stay north
and take the weather as it comes. II
each Of us had an aeroplane perhapa
we would 60 whenever q blizzard
came along. It would be rash to
start under such conditions. however,
SO probably it is a good thing that
we have to stay where we are. Be-
fore the storm we had failed to find
much of interest on q brief field trip,
but on return a robin was heard sing
ing in a certain place. When the
weather had moderated somewhat, a
robin at the same place again was
venturing into song.
A sparrow hawk at Arnegard March
%, q flicker at Lisbon the am day,
and a redwinged blackbird at Fargo
March Is, are a few additions to the
early list of last week. A few warm
days should bring us blackbirds, kill
deer and song sparrows as well az
numbers Of juncoes, mallards and
pintails.
Mr.. J. H. McClelland at Arnegard
writes that Bohemian waxwings have
been unusually abundant this winter.
j, C. Thysell mentioned the regular
appearance in the fall OF these birds
on the experiment station grounds at
Mandan. Many confuse the two
kinds of warnings. They are quits
similar in general appearance. The
Bohemian is the larger and has gray
underpartS with q reddish brown
patch under the tail. The cedar
waxwing has yellowish underparts
without q brown spot.
For our region the seasons OF tha
two waxwings + entirely different.
The cedar arrives the very last Of
May, nesting here and leaving In Sep-
TENDER. They are found through
most Of the United States during
winter but hardly so far north as this
in the central states. Southern Can.
ada is the northern limit Of their
nesting range.
The Bohemian nests in the ever~
green forests from northern Mani-
toba to Alaska. During winter they
wander east and south into northern
and central United States but are ir-
regular in their occurrence over much
of this range. A few appeared in
Fargo about Nov. / last year and were
seen often during the second week OF
the month. They feed almost n
tirely upon asparagus berries. Tres
seeds Of various kinds comprise the
greater part of their winter food.
