29 K+ Tebrile instability which had set his thoughts flying this way and that during the days of his companionâ€" ship with Charnock, there was no longer any trace in his demeanor. Perhaps it was that he was so cerâ€" tain of attaining his desires; perâ€" haps the. long lesson of endurance which he had been painfully taught in Moroceo, now bore its fruit; perâ€" haps too he had acquired something of â€"the passive. fatalism: of the Moorish race.. During this Sunâ€" day afternoon, his last Sunday as it proved, he quietly _ seculled the dinghy of his cutter, when the tide was low, through the mud flats of the Fowey river to Lostwithiel ; and coming down again when the river was full, lay for a long time upon posm <BB. 3 m â€"use» m on d i & w a fo T &A a h B @8 89 EB s K S R o & & s Sm h B i9 o N <WS hs k) C he § < S is t\ 5s Degos &5 s Bohk 9 § 2l m BRA § hall h s & s s B 3 B Bs RS 8 & Gy 8 & e 5 86 oS 5 o flls at ids Q_\{_‘, »;J.a: 5 t e sb > -» C c on Warriner disembarked at Plyâ€" mouth and took train to Dartmouth, where he learned the name of the yacht by merely usking at the hoâ€" tel. He tried to hire a steamâ€"launch, for soonmer or later in one of the harbors he would be sure to come up with Wilbraham ,if he only kept a sharp eye ; but steamâ€"launches are difficult to hire at this season of the year ,and in the end he had to conâ€" tent himself with vnartering a tenâ€" ton cutter. Heâ€"~engaged one hand, by whose testimony the history of Ralph‘s pursuit came to be known, and sailed out of Dartmouth to the west. He sailed out in the mornâ€" ing, and coming to Salcombe ran over the bar on the tail of the flood, but did not find his quarry there, and so beat out again on the first of the ebb and reached past Bolt‘ Head and Bolt Wail, across Bibâ€" bury Bay with its low red rocks to. Plymouth. Wilbraham had anchorâ€" ed in the Cattwater only two days before; the yacht was a yawl, named the Monitor, and was makâ€" ing for. the Seillies. _ Warriner laughed when he picked up word about the destination of the yacht, and thought it would be very apâ€" propriate, if he could overhaul the Moniter somewhere off Rosevar.

The Major would be back at Dartmouth in some six weeks‘ time and hoped, for Mrs. Warriner‘s sake, that he would find a registered letter awaitâ€" him.

They ‘had drifted across the track of the oceanâ€"going steamers. The Brixâ€" ham blew upon his horn till his lungs cracked. He relates that noâ€" thing happened until three o‘clock in the morning, as he knows, since ‘Warriner just at three o‘clock took ‘his watch from his pocket and looked at the dial by the lanternâ€" light. He mentions too, as a detail which struck him at the time, that the door of the lantern was open, and so still was the heavy air that the candle burnt steadily as in a toom. . At three o‘clock in Athe morning he suddenly saw a glimâ€" mering flash of white upon the cutâ€" ter‘s beam. For a fraction of a second he was dazed. Then. he lifted the bhorn to his mouth, and he was lifting itâ€"so small an interâ€" val was there of timeâ€"when a huge sharp wedge cut through the fog and towered above the cutter out of sight. The wedge was the bows 6f an" Atlantitc_ liner. No one on ‘that liner heard the despairing, inâ€" terrupted moan of the tiny fogâ€"horn beneath the ship‘s forefoot ; no one felt the shock..

Warâ€" riner, and the Brixham man dived hurriedly into the well for the poor fogâ€"hora which the boat carried. The cutter drifted out sternâ€"foreâ€" most past the Lizard rocks, and in After a while they heard the Lizâ€" ardâ€"horn abreast of them again. When that was done, he squatted again upon the deck by the side of the lantern, and played shrilly upon his pipe while the light threw a grotesque reflection of his figure upon the fog. "It‘s not a squall,"" said Warrâ€" ner quietly interrupting his music. "I‘s a rock. L know this coast well.. We had better get the dingy out and row her head off." _ The fog hung upon the Channel for thirty hours. The utter swung into the bay with the tide. The Brixham fisherman could hear all along to his right hand, the mufâ€" fled roar as the groundâ€"swell broke upon, the Lizard rocks, and the sucking withdrawal which told that those rocks were very near. _ The Lizard fogâ€"horn, which sounded a minute" ago abreast of them, soundâ€" "ed now quite faintly astern. The ‘boat swung with the tide and would not steer; yet Warriner betrayed no alarm and no impatience at the check. He sat on the deck wi ° lantern by his side and drew, sa'id‘ the fisherman, a littleâ€"flute or pipe from his pocket,â€"on which he played tunes that wereâ€"no tunes, and from which he drew a weird shrill music of an infinite melancholy and of inâ€" finite suggestions. Once the Brixâ€" ham man crouched suddenly by the gunwale and peered intently over the boat‘s side. At a little distance off, something black loomed through the fog about the height of the mast‘s _ yard;â€"something black which rapidly approached. C Warriner followed _ without deâ€" lay, and when he was just past the Manacle rocks, the wind dropped. With the help of the tide and an occasional flaw of wind, he worked his cutter round the Lizard Point and laid her head for. Penzance across the bay ; and it was then that the fog took him. It crept out of the sea at about four of the afterâ€" noon, a thin grey mist, iand i4 thickened into a dense umber fog. Warriner raised his auchor early on the Monday morning, and havâ€" ing the wind on his quarter, made Falmouth betimes. At Falmouth he learned that the Monitor had put out past St. Anthony‘s light only the day before and had sailed westwards to Penzance. his oars opposite a certain church that lifts abovée a clump of trees on the riverâ€"bank. There he remained listening to the roll of the organ and the sweet voices of the singers as they floated out through the painted windows into the quiet of the summer evening ; when the serâ€" vice was over he bent to his sculls again and rowed back between the steep and narrowing coppices, but it was dark before he turned the last shoulder of hill and saw the long lines of ridingâ€"lights trembling upon the water. Crows and blackbirds are quiet during the dark hours if unmolestâ€" ed, but occasionally some _ enemy besides the human hunter will disâ€" turb them, and there is a great chatter and fluttering of wings. A hungry owl or a cat with some of its wild nature still remaining will frequently visit such a place, and, of course, has no trouble in obâ€" taining a meal. Such a visitor ofâ€" ten disturbs those near, and_ the frightened birds will flutter away in the darkness to seek another roosting place. _ Swallows. after a day spent in skimming the air and catching hunâ€" dreds of insects, will seek a roostâ€" ing place at night.

Children often ask where all the birds go at night. It would seem to one not familiar with bird life that many of our feathered visitors find difficulty in securing suitable places in which to spend the night. An observer will notice that birds become quite active as twilight apâ€" proaches. Many kinds, such as blackbirds and crows have regular haunts, and as the sun nears the western horizon thousands of these birds may be seen flying in great flocks toward a certain orchard or grove. Many select a thicket in some lonely hollow, while others will select some large lawn where shade trees stand. â€" The meaning of that question dawned upon Charnock gradually. The girl with the gold hair smiled at his perplexity, and laughed pleaâ€" santly at his comprehension. Charnock looked round the room.. XNo," said she. He looked towards the window, and the window was open. ‘‘Yes," said the girl. Charnoek found â€" Miranda upon the balcony. __.._Fe§," said the girl, "I rememâ€" ber. It was some while since.

Lady Donnisthorpe rose from her chair. ‘"Perhaps you would like me to introduce you,"‘ she said with sarcastic asperity. "I should,""‘ replied Charnock. Lady â€" Donnisthorpe waved her hands helplessly and brushed away all mankind. She led Charnock across the room, introduced him, and left him with a manner of exâ€" treme coldness, to which Charnock at this moment was quite imperviâ€" ous. "I _ think I have seen before,"‘ said_ Charnock. man of many disappearances, he had started off to Asia Minor, there ‘to survey the line of a projected railway. â€" The railway was never more than projected, and after a year the survey was abandoned. Charnock returned to London and heard the story of Warriner‘s death from Lady Donnisthorpe‘s lips at her last reception at the end of the season. Lady Donnisthorpe was irritated at the impassive face with which he listened. She was yet more irritated when he said casually, without. any â€"reference whatever to a word of the narraâ€" tive: ‘‘Wheo is that girl? I think I have seen her before." wWHEN THE BIRDS RETIREK. thoroughly tested by over fifty years of use, have been proved a safe and certain cure for constipation and all kindred troubles.

The water will be converted into steam and, with tbe kettleâ€" covereqa over, this will effectually cook ail the tubers, so that there will not be any large amount of water in the kettle when cooking is finished. This will not prove injurious to the pigs with sound potatoes. Frosted potatoes, however, would not seem to be a wholesome feed for pigs since a frosted potato soonâ€" decays and there is no more unhealthful food for man or beast than decayed veâ€" getables.

Some birds sing at night but most of them remain silent. Many birds roost upon the ground. All sorts of places are chosen. Quail sit in a circle with their heads out, always ready to fly if disturbed. _ They have been seen sitting in such a position in daylight. Many small birds roost in large weeds, and many select a tuft of grass in which to spend the dark hours. Others birds build their nests on the ground in pasâ€" tures and meadows, and while the mother bird is hatching and carâ€" ing for the brood the male bird is always near at hand on the alert or gathering grubs or insects for the little ones. At night the male bird remains near the nest, and in some instances both parents sit on the little nest. Some birds roost in very exposed places. Others will select protectâ€" ed spots and secrete themselves in such a manner in the foliage of the trees and vines that even their enâ€" emies cannot find them. Many birds choose a natural shelter from the rains by getting a leaf which sheds the water from them, while others sit out in the open, taking the storm in all its fury. song, filling the air with the sweetâ€" est of music.
