Ask for SALADA Lsve Gives Itself THE STORY OF A BLOOD FEUD - BY ANNIE B. SWAN. 'Love gives itself and is not bought.," --Longfellow. CHAPTER XXV.— (Cont'd.) There was a supper after the play that night and Judy, watching Car- lotta's quiet, rather abstracted de- meanor while all the congratulations were being showered upon her, loved her more and more. ' She believed now that nothing could spoil her or cause her to swerve from her alleg- iance to Alan. beyond alt The thing amazed her power of speech or thought. For Car- lotta hadgreat gifts. She was richly dowered both in body and mind, and Judy's relentless, sisterly eyes had long discerned that Alan was a very ordinary man. But happily for the world, which is largely peopled with ordinary folk, the ordinary man or woman is not cheated of love's gifts, which have naught to do with the head, but all with the heart. Judy was glad at last when they were able to get to bed, in the small hours of the morning, at the Holland "'louse. "What a night it has been," she said, as she lingered a moment in Car- lotta's room, "and what a queer place is New York!" Carlotta, a little wan now about the eyes and mouth, smiled a little un- steadily. "I never, no never saw anything like your evasion of the 'interviewers,' Judy! It is positively great! So calm, so dignified! Just staring them through and through as if they did not exist, and hardly obstructed your view. You discomfited them com- pletely." Judy laughed. "You see, they got it into their heads that I was a sort of chaperon "Watch her well, M. Baddeley. I'm going out as soon as I have break- fasted to explore New York." As a matter of fact Judy's explora- tion was confined to the smallest pos- sible area. A judicious question put to the waiter in the dining -room soon putt her on the right track for Forty- second Street. • New York is not a city of great distances, and those who know their London are amazed at the ease and speed with which places can be reach- ed on foot. It was a glorious morning, and thought the temperature was many degrees lower than anything Judy had ever known on the sheltered Ayrshire coast, the brilliance of the sun and some rare quality in the air somehow communicated a certain buoyancy to her spirit as she set out on foot to' diacover first-hand news of Alan, and, mayhap, meet him face to face. At the back of her mind there was a strange feeling of remoteness, which assured her that the meeting was not imminent as she imagined. She was interested in the pushing, eager crowd on Broadway, and won- dered ondered why they went so late to busi- ness, not aware that business had be- gun long before, and that the pushing habit was characteristic of New York, where it is everybody's business, ap- parently, to be in a hurry{ without any particular reason or object. When she came to the house of Mrs. Isaacstein in Forty-second Street—the• only address Alan had ever given them —she surveyed it with the keenest interest, and was, on the whole, not repelled or disappointed with its ap- pearance. At least it lookedeminent- Two mothers, v.ho lost 'sons in the- great Avar, performed true unveiling ceremony of Leicester's War Memorial. mer building, which she found to be!

By this time she had made up hero mind about Judith Rankine, and her heart was warming to her. • Her eyes were so true and kind, and her voice, with its little note of 'distress :find fororness, appealed to hernightily.

Judy held her close, and they kissed one another, almost as two Ionely children might; and the New York which had gone to bed to dream of Margaret Tenterden, and to awake to envy her, did not know that she cried herself to sleep. Judy awoke bright and early and was relieved to hear from Mrs. Bad- deley that Carlotta still slept. "Jes' like a child, Miss Rankinel But she do look white and tired yet.

The beautiful flower makes the honey, not to' please li1nise'.t, but to please the bees and turn diem into slaves to do that part of the work Vlach be cannot do because he stands'rooted to the .ground. The fewer must depend upon the ' winds turd insects to carry his eggs to seine other plant so that the- two eggs alit increase and multiply. Pollen, f30 ti1t°,ae' eggs are. called, not real eggs, but just exactly the same as eggs, male and female. Some few plants bear, both sexes. - Man, groat as . he "thinks himself, could not devise a better eclieme than the flowers' have invented throughmil- hells of generations, The flower has' Made itself beautiful to attract and hold the eye of the bee, who has learned that these pretty thing's have the sweets which are the chief things in his life. These sweets are furnished by the flower which is clever enough to grow the nectar deep inside .where' the blossom narrows down fromthe absurdly -vide entrance. . This is not accidental,it is cleverly; thought out. To get the neetaa the insect must shove and push himself, and even squeeze his own head and body into a space that is so small as to be uncom- fortable. This is. the Big Idea of the flower, which has. scattered its eggs all around the entrance so that the insect cannot steal the nectar without getting eggs all over himself. These eggs• he carries• to the nest blossom, where some are eure to be scraped oft" and lett as he gets. a new' load from the second blossom., and se on from ftbwer to flower, leaving the male eggs' here and f smalls eggs there. One of the most interesting things in bee life is to -watch bees work their way into the narrow treasury where the nectar is kept It is not an easy labor for the bee Stand near fioweus where bees are busy and watch the operation closely. You can see the bee alight on the eee birosS.om and take a look inside' to seen. whether he is too late or just on time. If no other insect has been there first,. he pokes his head out of eight while he sips the nectar. You can see ilial struggle a:. he pushee'his body into the narrow part. Whenhe backs out -he sometimes stops for a few secon•da to pat on his hips the waxy .s'tult the flow- er bas provided for just suck a pur- pose. Frequently, and especially while the, first combs are being made in the •hives. the bees gather large quantities of this wavy material. They pat- it on their nips until the hips•. are so large as to bo very much but of proportion. Watch the bees working among; the flowers; use a large magnifying glasg.. and you will see a moving picture that will surprise you. But those gaudy birds? The story is soon' told. They disguise'them'selves so that while they are hunting the in- eeets among the flowers they are al- most initintinguishable because they look like flowers and fit the scenery. A Shortened Life.
