Midway across the vast common to

Beyond loomed a tall building which

meadowland. It was as big as a

When next he awakened, the sun
was already high in the heavens. Then
to his awakening senses came a drone
of voices close at hand, to which at
first he paid little heed.
i "Oh, mon Dieu, Leandre, let us sep-
, arate at once. If it should be my
father . . "
"No, no, Climene; you are mistaken.
There is no one coming. We are quite
safe. Why do you start at shadows?"
More was not needed to reassure
Andre -Louis- He had overheard
enough to know that this was but
the case of a pair of lovers who, with
less to fear of life, were yet—after
the manner of their kind—more timid
of heart than he.
In the space of cropped meadow
between the barn and the hedge stood
a man and a woman, both young. The
man was a well -set-up, comely fellow,
with a fine head of chestnut hair tied
in a queue by a broad bow of black
satin. He was dressed with certain
tawdry attempts at ostentatious em-
bellishments, which did not prepossess
one at first' blance in his favor.
The child—she was not more than
that, perhaps twenty at the most—
possessed, in addition to the allure-
ments of face and shape that went
very near perfection, a sparkling vi-
vacity and a grace of movement the
like of which Andre -Louis did not re-
member ever before to have beheld

Ho could not have told you why,
but he was conscious that it aggriev-
ed him to find her so intimate with
this pretty young fellow, who was

cast-offs of a nobleman. He could

well down over his nose so as to shade

"Monsieur," said he, with the air
of a conspirator, "the time for action
has arrived, and so has the Marquis.
That is why."
"Tell me, tell me! Speak!" Climene
implored him, holding out her hands
in a supplication no pian of sensibil-
ity could have resisted. And then
on the instant she caught her bread;►

what its naive means: Take the apri-
cot, for instance. The word hair the

son. In its native climate the apricot
tree buds very early in the spring
and has flowers before It has leaves.
The fruit follows rapidly, and, In
this early and rapid development, it
carries out the full force of its name:
"early ripe."
The familiar green
plum, so well
liked fol. preserving purposes, has
a practical reason for being called
"greengage." It could not very well
be named a green pluni, as that would
imply an unripe fruit, so, as an Eng-
lishman by the name of Gage first
brought this variety of plum into
England, it was very appropriately
named for him, the descriptive color
being used as the first syllable of
this specially coined word.
The coconut (often spelled cocoa-

"Coco" is the Portuguese ward for
mask, and there is also a species of
monkey known as the "Macoco" from
its mask -like face. At the end of
each coconut, on its brown fibrous
coating, are three marks bearing a
grotesque resemblance to a face.
Hence the name coconut, mask -nut.
