There were still, hot hollows surroundâ€" ed by wet rocks where he could hardly breathe for the heavy scents of the night flowers and the bloom along the creoper buds; dark avenues where the moonlight lay in belts as regular as checkered marbles in a church aisle; thickets where the wet young growth stood breastâ€"high about him and threw its arms round his waist; the hilltops crowned with broken rock, where he leaped from stone to stone. _ _ â€"Will only work their best among a free people. â€"Always work some injustices upon a fow. â€"Cannot succeed without faithful administrators.

The heart leaps up to see them in January dawn. One feels betâ€" ter for a sight of them, especially in view of the fact that they are a dimâ€" inishing race. The trouble is that the plover‘s egg is supposed to boe a deliâ€" cacy. The writer once had two, his farmer landlady reminding him that gentlemen in the west end of London would pay anything from half a crown to seven and six for such delicacies, Perhaps plovers‘ eggs are an acquired taste. Possibly the price paid constiâ€" tutes them a delicacy. Were the domâ€" estic fowl‘s eggs as rare and as high priced, doubtless they would receive the gourmet‘s attention. Hardly any bird takes so little trouble with its nest. Often it is but the frostâ€"hardened delve of a cow‘s hoof, a tangle of bent, or the hollow of a misplaced stonc. It prefers a small ridge, so that the water can drain off on all sides, The nests and the eggs and the fledglings are so completely in keeping with their surâ€" roundings that only the practiced seeker discovers them. The eggs are usually four in numâ€"~ ber, placed in the nest point to point, | so that the bird covers them morei completely and hatching is thus made| the more sure. As soon as hatched| the young, being clothed at birth, nm' off in all directions and cause much! trouble to the anxious parents who have to keep constant watch overl them. Fortunately they are obedient to their parents‘ call. After hatchinz? the nest is not used, as is the case with ; many other birds. That is doubtless'l one reason why a more elaborate nest| is not made. 1 noOmesicau.
