In the month of Mun-h. before the riv- _ ore have opened. on the snow around - the heads of the creeks and about the . air-holes in the thick ice may be seen , the curious, trail of the muskrat. It can , readily be recognized by the firmly- , planted footrnarks, heavily and slowly impressed, and the sharp after-drag of the long, sealy, blade-like tail. All through the cold winter months these heavily turred animals have lived warm and comfortable in their well-construct- ed houses, rearing their third and last litter. One house erected about Sep- temper seemed planned with almost hu. man foresight. Here with their long, sharp teeth and strong, inch-long claws they had cut and cleared wide paths through all the ytars!ter--paths so deep that three feet of ion did not close them, so wide that we have often paddled along them, marvelliug at the great flaming masses of torimlp aquatic vege- tation. These paths were a, hundred yards long and four feet. wide, and were cut through a. mass of tangled cover high enough in most places to thorough- ly conceal a duck hunter and his canoe. In the winter months the. muskrnts can easily dive from their houses into these under-ice channels. and the whole marsh is before them to choose their meal from. The long yellow roots of the. flag and the juicy tubers of the wild onion (the muskrat apple is the more poetic Ojibwuy) hang exposed before them, or are readily torn out.--Prom "Hunting the Munkmt with a Camera," by Bonny- Sultle Dale in the Outing Magazine for u y.

And none were so poor that thoy could not invest a Sixpence in drinking the health of their beloved lady, whom they quite regarded in the light of a restored queen. There was the village smith, and the old laborer from Swinburne Chase, and the old eashiered groom, and all the others. to England, and sent their Innate down in advance to prepare for their re. ception at Swinburne Castle. The people of Swinburne, let it now he confessed, had never been reconciled to the change of local dynasty that. had given them the laundrees’ daughter as their liege lady. They had never be- lieved in the claims of Rose. and had always looked upon her as a nsurper. When. therefore. the servants of their own Lady Etheridge arrived at the Ethe- ridge Arms with the intelligence that their lord and lady were coming down to the castle. nothing could exceed the joy of the villagers and tennntry. I l The same group that had usemhled‘ two years before at Etheridrre Arms to see the arrival of the coach that was to bring the bridegroom. who was about to marry their lady, gathered once more in the taproom. to get all the news they could from the servants, who had stop- pod there for refreshment on their way to the castle. whither they were bound' to prepare for the reception of the boron! and harmless, who were coming nextI week.
