" 1 cannot understand , " I said. I did

Though they might ch'oosc to pass as

they could hardly expect to impose upon

"Ah ! I sou you do not. " said Mr. Fos

"Olivia dead ! " 1 exclaimed.

"When did Olivia die ? " I inmihed ,

"We'heard she was dead on the first

She put Into my hand an ordinary cor-
tltlcate of death , hi m-il by J. .ion s ,

Olivia Foster , had died on Kopteniln r

just as you see me left , and Carry was
determined to proven ! it. "
"Then you are sure of her death ? " I
said. '
"So sure. " he replied calmly , "that we
were married the next day. Olivia's let

conclusbe of her identity. Would you

Mrs , Foster gave me a slip of paper ,
on which were written a few line * , The

Conviction had been brought home to me.
I rose to take my leave , and Foster held
out his hand to me , perhaps with a kind
ly intention. Olivia's ring was glittering
on it. nnd I could not take It into mine.

in New Hngland. One of them Is on
the plan in ! i < n Just to the north of He-
bee hake. On a point of land reaching
out into the puml Is a growth of tall
silver birches , and there are at least
100 nests hi the tops of these trees. The
trees are tall , without limbs for forty
feet or more from the ground. It is n
well kiio\Mi fact that herons never
build a nest hi a tree with limbs much
less than forty Ceet from the earth. The
nests are constructed from small sticks ,
some up to an Inch in .diameter. The
nest Is at least Iwo feet across , and
the eggs are a trllle smaller than a
hen's egg , and of a palo blue color. The
old birds go long distances on their for
aging trips , In some cases forty and lif-
ty miles. Tlie birds of this species
about MOI schead Lake and around tlie
ponds miles to the south all make their
way to this particular colony at night.

birds coming from all directions during

of milk. \

faihtfully followed , with the result

had added three pounds to her weight. v'4i
that is snflicicntly simple to be .

Tlr- Education of Ilie American _ f
citl/en , by Arthur Twining lladley ,
I'losident , of ale Univeislty , tlie
author says : "Ii\ \ many of the po
litical writings of tlie day there is a
tendency " in lay too much stress on
the force "by which this mechanism
is kept at work. In recent education
al movements also , too much thought
is perhapsgiven ( o picparing men
and women to take their several places
in'a social machine , and too little to ,
the development of that power and
spirit upon T.hich tlie perpetuation ol
our whole social order depends. " The
book is made up of public addresses \
and magazine ait ides of thojiast fc\v
yea-is whirl ! have been selected for the
purpose of I brewing light on those
portifiis of ( fm stions of the day which r
the author thinks have not been given
proper consideration , and is offered to
the public in the hope that it may
contribute1 something to the undcr-
j standing of political nerds. "It is.
ibecnming ; more evident , " says the
I writer , "that the really dilllcult piob-
! leins of the day can be solved only by
I an educational process. " ( ( The Ed-
I ucation of the ' American People , by ,
