But thougle friendly towards Keith, yet he was conscious of a kind of reserve in bor manner towarde him, and thought it was dug to the knowledge that he was engaged to Eugenie, He had become reconciled to his sweetheart, and she went down every day to teach Meg at Teorak.

Of course Eugenie .never •meant to take any me:my, as She bad become strongly attached to Meg, but still kept up her semblance of poverty till such time as she judged it fit to tell Keith.

It had taken NabaU some time to collect the necessary eVidence, and it was only on the day previous to the production of "Faust Upset" that he was able te get a warrant for Keith's, arrest, so he determined to let the per- formance take place before he arrested "If it's a successe' said Nebel' to himself, ne het slipped the warrant into hie poeket, "heel have had one jolly hour to himself, end if it's a failure —well, he'll be glad enough to go to jail."

Tao jew was calm and placid, as having saceeecled to his fathers fortan.e, he hied not staked everytning, like Keith, on the bur- lesque being a saecess; still, for his partner's sake as well as for his own, he was anxions that it sbould go well, Such a erowded hOUse as it was— everybody In Melbourne was there, for a new play by a colonial nether evas a rare thing, and a burlesque by a Colonial author, with original music by a eolonial composer, Was almost unheard of.

NATURE'S DISGUISES, 00104130 mid Marldngs of Wild Life Important. The colorings and markings which Nature has given to ahimale are very' important to them in their daily strug- gle for existence. The proteetive coloring of an animal will often allow hina to treep close to his prey without datectiou before mak- ing the final spring. An animal that is being hunted tries to deceive his enemy by cewering against, a pro- teetIve tree or undergrowth, with Web, the dolor pattern of les skin harmtinizte. Animals are thus eontiti- ually playing hide-and-seek with each other, and the ate inoet adept in de- ception has greatest seeeess. The voltam of the ardmales coloring' depends on 'the prey he has to seek for food and the enemy he has to tweed.

Just thirty years ago in januarY, the worst storm In the history of the United States weather bureau raged 0 over tho central West, taking a toll of more than 200 lives and killing thoa- ' sands of farm animals. "Old-timers" I asserted there had been a storm of I equal, if not worse proportion; in 1880, but there Are no deduite records on the first storm, and it ib known to 4 have been. more locally condeed than the "great literal of '88." The storm I originated in Nebraska and extended to central Iowa and Wisconsin east- ' ward and to the Montana line on the west. The teraperature • was about • freezing: when the storm started, but by the netzt morning it had dropped to 64 degrees below zero in South Da- kota. Grand Forks, N. D., reported a temperature of 52 degrees below, while at Sloux City, Ia., it was eti be- low. Near Mitchell, S. D., a farmer and his son were unable to reach the house five rods distant before the boy was frozen to death. 4,4* -4-4+4-4-4-4-44-4-4.-4+4-4-4-44-o4.441 Pi a t e ra p n gs William Henry Wibley was soft, His tether first discovered it when was two yeaes ole, and since W. II Wibley Senior did not often speak, his son of David. . words were as the' words of Solomon . - So Willie eemained soft, witty -nay, He wee a• redheaded youth, and had a trick of rubbing hie eyes regardless of the sta.te of his hands, so that he us- ually looked like a chimney sweep. In the course Of time he was called upon to join the Army. They put him into Khaki, and sent him to what 'was called Reserve Unit. Willie thought it rather good fun. liked his rlflo and bayonet, had plenty to eat, and the glorious sum of ten shIllInge and six pence paid to him on Friday afternoons. He had his photograph taken on a post earce, and offered a copy to his CompanY Commander; and when they told bin: be would get leave soon, on a free warrant, he beckoned in a friendly way to the tirst officer he saw -it was a gentleman with green tabs who supervised the Musketry training -and told him that he (Mile) was going home on leave to Oherton Abbae In Somerset to see bis girl, who -worked. in a glove factory in Yeovil. Then a terrible thing happened'. 'Willie ono day wben he was orderlyman, was caught by the Messing Officer putting bread into the Swill Tub! Now the Mees- ing Offiner loved his Swill Tubs. He didn't put them under his pillow at -night, e,3 some people said, but he had them white -washed every three days-. and positively bated ahything to be put into them. So when he caught Willie red handed, as it were, chucking twoelarge chunks of bread In amongst the cab- bage stalks and eotato scrapings, hie Wrath was terrible; and that afternoon t 4.30 p.m. Willie was for the C. 0.'s a orders. • The evidence was_ clear, hie. guilt was\ manifest, but his Company Commander' aeld something to the C.
