nothing, for he had lost his memory.
She was thankful for thatat,any:rate.
1 And yet—when John Merrington
was told the truth? What then? Ruth
could not answer that question, And
'the answer to it did not seem to matter
very much, for she,. Ruth Bradney, had
come to the end of the road on which
she had set out with ,Tolin Merrirrr-
I ton. It' was not the death of Paula
that had suddenly risen dilte an im-
passable barrier across the path. It
was her own choice, made before she
had heard of Paula's death—the de-

A hock .at the door interrupted her

asked.
"011, yes, Fletcher—you can take
the tray downstairs."
"Will your ladyship be getting up
this morning?"
"Oh, yes, Fletcher, I'll have my bath
about twelve o'clock, I shall be down
to lunch,"
"Would your ladyship like to sec
the morning papers?"
"No thanks, Fletcher, I think I shall
try to go to sleep again."
The maid carried the tray as far
as the door, and then she turned and
said, "What shall I do about your
adyship's coat?"
"My coat, Fletcher? What do you
mean?" Ruth queried, and her heart,
other he to explain that. It was for-;

There was no answer to this ex-

The story of the freah-wrter eel Is
one of the most rem:ukahle in Na.
tures' library.
For all the eels found in any of the
rivers or creeics of Canada are hatch-
ed from eggs laid near Bermuda, In
the southern part of the North ✓Alan
tic, Their European cousins from the
waters of the countries bordering on
11te Atlantic Ocean and the North, the
Baltic and the Mediterranean Seas al-
so originate near the sante region,
Yet the eels, that go farthest up- the

cendants, which may live several years', '

once in their lifetime .go bank down
to their old hone in the sea, There.
they spawn at depths of about .10.0
fathoms and presumably die—for they'
are never to coma back.,
But the tiny forms hatched from the,
eggs are very little: like eels, as we
know theme. Transparent, ribbon-like
creatures only a little over a quarter
of an inch long, they start on their
Iong trip toward the distant coasts,.
During their migration. these young;
gradually change, becoming rounder,
thicker and leaf -like in shape, but re--
maiuing neatly transparent until they
reach fresh or brackish water, when.
they become dark.in color. It takes+
from one to three years to effect the•
complete transformation from the egg'
to ,the eel. In that time some of tl
European species have journeyed

from their cradle in the deep to the, "'"ores".
mouth_ of the River Nile or up into. the
western Baltic, For , length of time
and distance covered, the larval m4
grations of the eel. are altogether
unique.
The swarms of "elvers" or young
eels that reach the shores of Europe
are much greater than those of the
American epodes, and the catching of
these for food is quite an industry. For
this reason the European scientists
have been mast active, in discovering
the life history of these strange fish.
Imagine the appalling vastness of
the ocean and the minuteness of these
tiny eel fry, changing in size, shape
and appearance In the different parts
of the sea, and you can appreciate that
the expedition outfitted by Denmark
and headed by Dr. John Schmidt had
difficulty -}n' locating the breeding
place of these creatures, And the'
change was. not constantly in one di-
rection Dither, for in changing from
the full-grown larval form to the elver
form, they b000me smaller ir.,s,tead of
larger.
After careful, persistent work of
catching and charting the regions in
which the various sizes are found, the
Danish expedition located the amaflest
forts, in the southern North Atlantic
and only there.
There are other species . of. eels
which inhabit the Countries, bordering
the rndo-Pacifc from the Cape of Good
Hope to the Sandwich Islands, but
there are none In ,the rivers of West
Africa, South America or olir own Pa-
cific slope. The reason for this is be-
lieved to be that the ocean route that
the young eel larvae would have to '
follow to get to these latter rivers Hes
through -waters that are no warm and
salty enough for them. These snake-
like fish which spend most of their life
far up our fresh -water streams are
creatures of some of the saltiest parts
of the sea.
Nothing Affects Music.
Music is independent of apace, You
can have e symphony of Beethoven
played in every musical centre of the
world at the same too if you have a
sufficiency of, musicians capable:- of
rendering it. Time does not touch it.
Neither does that other great barrier
to the common artistic enjoyment of
civilized nations, the difference of
languages, affect it. The translator of
a masterpiece is not merely a copyist,
his personality le not merely inter-
posed, like the personality or 011 copy-
ists,between the spectator and the
original producer. To compare paint-
ing with language, you are compelling

painted
:in oils, or to render as a draw-
ing what was originally a 'eoIered plc -
