any creature shows purpose in its
movements we are'justified iat-assurh-
mg that it has a mind of its own.
The theories of. "tropism," i. e. the
tendency of a living being to respond
in definite ways to extern jl impulse's
wfthout any conscious choice of its
own, do hot convince me that the
lower animals, are mere physiological
mechanisms. The human brain is
filled with a great fire of intelligence;
tlje animal Vain contains , only a

To return to earth-worms, herewith

tified by its previous experience,- with
what the great Napoleon did in
Egypt when, with his staff, he was
caught in thelrising wafers of the
4tu u Willie .ivukiiib ,'ivi -iiiv ayj
where Moses is said to have -led thi
escaping Israelites across.
The members of the youn& gener
al's staff were-dashing vainly hither
and thither insearch of the ford,'
when he called them together and
started them simultaneously on radial
lines toward all points of the com
pass. Evidently tins' was the quick
est way to find where the fori lay.
The worm-, singly, could not, do that,
but it did what Napoleon, it he had
been alone, would have done if rah
around in a widening circle, to find
its wav out .of the road.
This study of the. intelligence of
animals by inspecting their tracks
has often, been pursued by natural-,
isfs, and it has been most interesting
ly applied -in. the case of ants, which
follow methods similar to that above
.ascribed to the worm when search
ing for'something which they cannot
see, bjit of whose existence they are,
in some way, aware. .
At this time of the , year anyone
driving along a country road is surei-
to see , caterpillars making tneir way
straight across the road, hardly turn
ing aside to avoid obstacles. If one
of them descends into a deep rifli it
invariably climbs ouKof it on the Tide
toward whichit was originally fiav
eling, and, if itgoes around an insur
mountable obstacle it resumes the
original direction when the traverse
is finished. , v'.
If you stop and turn one" of these
caterpillars around, and set it going
backward, or at right angles to its
course, (it'will turn again to -its' chosen
direction, like -a needle to the.pote,
and this it will da. so persistently
that there is no, escaping the conclu
sion that the act is either the result
of an exercise of will or a deliberate
and 6xed choice, or. that it is an im
planted "tropism," resembling in "its
effects tha gowth of a tree, upwaYiJ
against the force of-gravity. -.
For ' my part, 1 find it difficult td
believe that the caterpillar has, wot
an individual 'consciousness of the di
rection it Wants to follow. The op
posite belief" when pursued -to -its
limit leads inevitably to tlje hypothe
sis that we ourselves are mere' me
chanisms,' and that, whatf! we sup

Sains to hide his adoration because it
just'bubbled; up and choked him so
that he coulan t.
Mv first meeting with Terry Walsh
was when I was rather young, am it
Was my first romance. I thought Ihere
was nobody like him, but that was in
the days when I was too younj? to be
married, and 1 could flirt with anyone
I liked' without ..jippearing too 'scriivivs,.
A very young girl never stops to
think ,that 'a was who is older than
she is has diffexentdeas dnlhe subr
ject, and Terry 'did noi want, to let
me, go without making turn a promise.
Of course I didn't actually promise.
I was- just a little bit frightened when
I saw how serious he was. f didn't
see him again for three years.
When Terry came into my life the!
econJ-ime I was vtired of the menj

less round of frivolous- amusement
sickened me, and I was glad to turn
back to" a man who, wasvsolid and
had something to him. ," :
But when I began' to-be serioiis
myself there were. other things to
consider. I have never cared anything
at all about Terry's grandmother, 'nor
his mother, nor nrs sisterj tney were
not at aH likeJTerry;-in'facf, I always
thought they tbok advantage of his
gooduess, but, of course, he tould
neve'r-look at it that way.
I was almost 'ready to throw Over
everything for Terry, and I should
have done irJoo, if I might have had
a tiny apartment with him .all alone.
I could have laughed over doing my
own work,-and even making, my own
clothW, and-I would have loved Terry
more every day, for he deseVves it.
But I just couldn't have part of the
family to liwe with me. s : "

But Tery said that bis mother had ..
no other- place to go, and his .sister

he had promised to share the' burden v:
as soon as he was able. Besides that,
Terry's yflunger brother was at col-

fact, and in my mind's eye I could
