Ora kept an hour in a bright room for
them to become accustomed to the
light, The floor was then spread with
a smooth black cloth, evenly covered
with grains of wheat, a strong spec.
trum was thrown on it from the ceil-
ing and the hungry animals were turn-
ed loose. They picked the wheat first
from the bitight red, then the ultra red,
ext the yellow and finally the green.
They touched nothing in the blue and
Violet because they saw nothing; but,
on the other hand, they saw the grains
in the ultra red that were invisible to
the men.
This proved that for chickens and
pigeons the spectrum is shortened at
the violet 'end of short wave length
and extended at the red end of long
wave length. This is the effect one
might expect from wearing orange col-
ored glasses and demonstrated that
fowls see through such spectacles in
the form of yellow and orange oil
globules embedded in the light sensi-
tive layer.
To kestrels and buzzards the bright-
est zone was the green instead of the
red, the blue being visible. To owls
the colors were as men see them. -

A succession of darkly wraned
forms scudded up the snowy path to
Mrs, Peter Weldrake's side door and
disappeared within a brief glimpse of
ruddy lighted room, Each time the
door opened t� admit another arrival
there were much laughter and noisy
conversation before the door became
a dark blank again.
"Everybody bere?" demanded Mrs.
Weldrake, emerging from her kitchen,
large, beetle browed and command,ing
of aspect. She was dressed in a stiff,
black taffeta silk skirt of generous
width and a white lawn waist. She
wore a large white apron, and as she
came into the sitting room there hov-
ered about her a defined odor of fresh-
ly made coffee and recently fried
doughnuts.
"Everybody here?" she repeated, re: -
viewing the chattering groups of wom-
en and the awkward men hovering
about the door.
"All except Althea Laden' and her
mother," spoke up a young girl. "TheST
oughter been here by this timp. I saw,
them drive away from their bouse
long before we left."
There was an embarrassed silence
before Mrs. Weldrake answered: "Well,
we needn't wait for Althea Laden and
her mother. They ain't coming." She
vanished into tbe kitchen.
"Not coming?" asked the girl who
bad spoken before.
"They wasn't asked," whispered a
woman guardedly.
"Not asked?" ecboed the girl.
" 'Tisn't likely, is it?" giggled a wo-
man witha nod of ler head toward
the kitchen door, and Me girl, glancing
at Mrs. Weldrake's daughter, Stella,
nodded understandingky.
."Althea Laden wastft asked, to the
minister's surprise." The words an
around in low murmured disapproval,.
for Althea and her mother were village
favorites, and the invariable "'Why?"
and its answer followed. All of tbe
women already knew that the Ladens
had not been invited, but under the
stern injunction of Mrs. Weldrake
none had dared to break the seal of se-
crecy imposed upon the especially in-
vited, for this surprise on the bachelor
minister of Thornville had found its in-
ception in the brain of matchmaking
Mrs. Weldrake, and Althea Laden was
not to be invited. Fat, good natured
Stella Weldrake and pretty Althea La-
den had always been warm friends.
and .according to Stella's discriminat-
ing parent that stout, amlable damsel
was quite outrivaled Iy Althea's more
delicate charms; hente this surprise
party. from which the Ladens were
omitted and where Stella was expected
to shine undimmed and perchance cap-
ture the minister's unsuspecting heart.
"It's 9 o'clock," announcied Mrs. Wel-
drake, bustling into the !sitting room
arrayed in warm shawls and with a
knitted "fascinator" over her iron gray -
hair. "1 guess we better be going. 1
see a lamp lighted in Afir. Whitney's
study." She lifted a window curtain
and, peered across the sno"vy fields to-
ward the parsonage. "He don't sus-
pect a thing."
"And, so far as r know; nobody else
outside this room knows ibout the sur-
prise," added Airs. Dora Hatch trium-
phantly as the party trooped forth,
each one bearing burdens of toothsome
viands. Big Peter Weldrake brought
up the rear with a iteamting can of cof-
fee.
The surpriSe party creaked across
the snow with much smothered laugh-
ter mingled with deference as they ap-
prbached the parsonage from the path
across the fields.
A green shaded lamp beamed from
the study window, but there was no
sign of the minister's dark, well shaped
bead outlined against the book.cases.
"He's stepped out a minute," breath-
ed Mrs. Weldrake hoarsely. "Most
likely's he's locking the door after Jen-
nie Plumb. That's why I waited till 9
o'clock, after she'd got the dishes done.
She's mortal slow."
"There she goes now!"
The group stood huddled by the back
porch watching the bulky form of the
black woman who came in by the day
to "do" the minister's housework.
When :Jennie Plumb had tramped out
of sight the surprise party tiptoed care-
fully around the path to the front door,
Mrs. Weldrake leading and her hus-
band bringing up the rear.
A dint light burned in the hall, but
save for a green glimmer from the
study beyond the parlors were quite
dark. Mrs. Weldrake rang the bell
once, twice, three times, without re-
sponse.
"1 guess Mr. Whitney ain't to home,"
whispered a doubtful voice.
"That's all the better," snapped back.
Mrs. Weldrake, trying the doorknob.
"This door's unlocked, and we raft go
eight in and give him the surprise of
his life."
The women hoped their wraps in
the hall in the manner of those who
were accustomed to the business of
surprising unsuspecting persons in
their homes and bore their bundles
of refreshments kitehenward, their
mouths rounded to shout "Surprise!"
t the hapless minister if he should
prove to he in the house After ail and
houh1 'one upon them unexpectedly.
The men, feeling, some mmptinetion
at this invasion, hung awkwardly
shout tbe front door as if ready to
make a sudden exit in case disaster
should overtake their more intrepid
women folks, They might understand
and enter into a surprise party upon
one of the laity, but this encroachment
upon the minister's privacy was more
novel than enjoyable.
Dora Batch had flitted from room to
room and returned to announce that
there wasn't a soul In the house, but
that Jennie Plumb was outshining her-
self as a housekeeper, for the whole
house was in apple pie order. "Even
flowers in every room----earnations at
150 cents a dozen from the city," she
ended:
"You don't suppose he suspected, do
you?" asked Stella. who looked like a
big pink and white baby In a white
muslin gown with blue ribbons.
"I don't know who could have told
'Una," said Mrs. Weldrake decisively
from her executive position before the
kitchen range. "I don't believe any-
body would be mean enough to tell
about it."
The fifteen women vociferated their
innocence from tale telling, and those
who were married exonerated their
husbands, and those Who were yet un -
chosen „ defended their sweethearts.
Stella Weldrake looked troubled for a
brief instant and then shook off what-
ever oppressed her nittid and smiled -
across the room at Timothy Weed, who
had peered bashfully in at the door.
Timothy blushed and drew back, but
he had answered Stella's smile with a
very betraying one, if any one had
seen it.
Mrs. Weldrake blew out the light in
the kitchen, and ushered the surprisers
into the back parlor.
"Now, all sit around as quiet as mice.
and when he comes into the front hall
the boys, will light.tbe lamps and all
the rest of us can holler 'Surprise!' and
I guess he will be surprised. It was
pretty good luck having him step on'
down street just at this time." Mrs.
Weldrake was feeling satisfied with
herself and the result of her planning.
She had maneuvered the men out of
the front hall. out of their overcoats,
relieved them of their huts and mar-
shaled them into the back parlor. Sev-
eral, of them were stationed with
matches held ready to strike at the
critical moment so that the full nature
of the surprise might be revealed to
the astonished and delighted minister
on his return.
All at once there came the sound 01
sleighbells that stopped before the
door.
The front door opened and closed lin-
geringly. Then the three lamps were
simultaneously lighted, and thirty
voices screamed "Surprise!" at the
thoroughly surprised minister.
If Mr. Whitney was surprised' the
owners of the thirty voices were equal-
ly astonished, for their cries died on
their lips, and they stood staring fool
ishly at the itlinister and his compan.
ion, Althea Laden. who had not been
invited to the party! Althea stood in
the doorway looking very lovely in a
long pale gray cloak-. beneath which
showed n white dress. There were
white flowers in her golden hair ano
on her breast. She looked like a bride,
and it suddenly dawned upon the sur
prisers' party that Althea Laden was a
bride. Nobody looked at Mrs. Peter
Weldrake.
Mr. Whitney recovered his self pos
session and stepped forward. There
was a look of serene happiness on his
fine face, and his dark eyes glowed
warmly as he thanked them
"My friends, it seems that my mar
riage to Miss Laden has become known
to you, and out of the warmness ot
your hearts you have come to bid her
welcome as my wife. 1 shall ever re-
member this occasion with the great-
est joy."
"Married ?" in ed M rs. Wel-
drake, arising with a magisterial air
from the chair into which she bad
fallen at the first shock of the surprise
that had come to her share:
Mr. Whitney smiled and reddened
and went on with his little speech of
thanks, unconsciously stripping the
surprise party of its motive and view
Ing it in the light of a carefully pre-
pared welcome for himself and his
bride. He explained that n public mar
riage would have been in order at a
later date had not Mrs. Laden been
summoned that very morning to the
bedside of a dying relative in the west
and he had urged an immediate mar
riage with Althea, who was to be left
behind. They bad nil driven over to
Meadville and been married by a min-
ister there and had then seen Mrs. La-
den off on her western journey.
"The bride cake must come later,"
he ended with a smile.
Of cotirse they all earns forward and
kissed Althea and congratulated the
minister. They were heartily glad ot
the marriage. for Althea was a fa
vorite. and it was something of a
Unction to be one of n surprise party
that had turned into a wedding party.
Mrs. Weldrake held herself well In
hand, brushed Althea's (quick with her
lips, majestically accepted their thanks
as the organizer or the party and it'd

refreshments.
