It was a horrible thought to associate with anyone so young and beautiful, so fragrant, and so vibrant with the happiness that should have been hers. His mood of jocularity soon passed. He became serious. It was the vision of that girl‘s face again, the terror he remembered seeing in her eyes, that brought the gravity back into his mind. The vision lasted for at least half a minute, and at the und of that time, an explanation to this mystery had arrived. The situation was plain. He, by some extraordinary chance, had been mistaken for a crook. This girl, who must belorg to a gang, believed he was someone else. That explained everything, of courseâ€"the cryptoâ€" grams in the letters bearing his name. What a joke! And for this amazing thing to have happened to himâ€"a quiet, ordinary commonplace draughsâ€" man, who had confe from Truro of all places in the world! Philip did some lightning remlecting.

In every European country they, were bred with various other birds. â€" The ship was wrecked, but fortunâ€" ately, a sailor thought to free the birds, They‘took refuge on the nearâ€" est point of land, which happened to be the Isle of Elba. Here their numâ€" bers increased rapidly. ’ It was in the early part of the sixâ€" teenth century that a merchant from Europe, who was trading with the Canâ€" ary Islands, noticedâ€"the remarkable voice of the little birds of those isâ€" lands. He captured an enormous num» ber of them, and set out for Europe, hoping to sell thein as song birds. ‘The canary bird, our little household pet and singer, is undoubtedly one of the most interesting of the feathered kind. â€" A farge number of beautiful specimens compose the attractive canâ€" ary family. Few persons mre aware of the fact that canaries have not been always a family of beautiful birds, but it is true that their beauty and individuality are manâ€"made. This ‘bird was first found in the Canary Islands, from which it acquired its name. There was nothing any, more attractive about its appearance than our common sparrow, having a dullâ€"colored feathering, but its singing voice was noticeable. lan,,. 31 _ ; _ CAnCe, The bookikeeper had chosen a ve Partner very ie ies PB ns ar (Mpurk Cns ~aso0 spreads out in ever circles as shock waves to be @d ultimately into heat, just °"gy of a hammer blow goes hoi Wlons ol on t Cc o uy 20 James Graham Wyly in s eorrect duly fa without that was ed more strangers merve cur dergoins Mr. Nuttol, young lady time, you migrate will bus e@peak t will be I shall duction Bome o Fram Bapplet present Guction @uction, cam "Do you round here" ghe judged t #llent comm "Hardly a selster was # you know, i sahe gave m« some of the He mad tone of dis "Then y About my . sessed you mitted the whether A married or able somet some trag« three would wind ow ternoon,‘ & large 1 to a law "It is ¢ year,‘ said dow got tragedy *" "Out | years as her two their d qame ba their fa they we that d and p years warn in it Iy h will c little with â€" just : the v ing n with 1 bis ar brothe bound becaus Do you evenin Creopy in thr #Out thro years ago, shooting. you" Bhe br It was a aunt bus whirl of making } "I hop "My aun Framtor "IH su "H, H On!y kor h Du n Ir )n
