"I am glad to see you at last," she said. "I've been wating for you because I happened to remember that I hadn't told you about the hotel fire, It was about midnight when I was awakened by the sight ot the flames. 'On the lawn were hundreds of people in pajamas and things and some of them were crying and some were laughing and it was very exciting. We took in about twenty women and lent them clothes. It was dreadful to see the poor things! I lent my white duck suit to a girl but it who looked rather shabby, seems she wasn't and she has a love ly brother and they're coming to call as soon as she has a decent dress. It was a great experience." That night after dinner young Ham mond's sister Louise, finding him alone, sat on the arm of his chair to tell him about the fire. "It was the worsf experience I ever had." she said. "Of course, Jean and Adele were always afraid of bur glars, but we never thought of fire It was about S o'clock in the morning and everybody lost everything. I was calm as could be, but Jean cried a long time. The flames were beaut I ful, but the people looked tragic. We took in about fifty women that night and except for four that had hysterics ind fits and things they were lovely, We lent our extra clothing to them to come home in, pour souls!"

It is a disappointment, after seeing your first puffin at close quarters at his home in puffin-towto turn up his and find, description in any bird-booafter all the meticulous description of his feathers and the order of the colors on his rainbow-tintebeak, that T g g k d this distinctive feature of the screwed- up eye is never mentioned. The illus trations in these books are as disap pointing as the text, the eye being as much like a rabbit's as a puffin's. Besides the Mongolian eye, he has the Mongolian secretlveness as well. In offensive and unobtrusive, he is silent as he stands upright, or moves about somewhat uncertainly on his dapper little red legs among the noisy crowd on tne rocks, it is only rrom tne depths of bis burrow in the spongy red soil, or from his chink among the rocks, that the sound of his language reaches your ear. In the privacy of his home he now and then utters strange sounds that when first heard resemble somewhat in their subdued intonation the distant lowing of cattle or shouting of men. But when you know him better you will fancy you can hear in his deep, mournful "Arrh!" a weary sigh indicative of his fate. For he is the patient cooli o he shore, with worse than Indwnti.r labor ftr his fate. All the rolled dieses look to him to provide them with an easy meal. Every time the proud peregrine's offspring in the eyrie whimper for food a puffin some where has to pay toll by giving up the ghost; and yet, although this is almost an hourly occurrence on a summer's day, the other puffins continue uncom plaining and unheeding. A model parent the puffin must b, for though it lays but a single egg, It manages to maintain its numbers year after year, in spite of the heaviest taxation. There is no colony of the lesser gull, where puffins breed, that is not strewn with the corpses of this humble little bird. Were I a puffin, this is the fate I should most resent The peregrine at least wastes nothing, leaves nothing but the beak and legs; but the coldblooded gull simply disembowels the poor bird and leaves the rest to rot. I have never seen the tragedy of its death, whether it Is killed on land or aa It swims on the sea or as It files through the air; but, were I a hungry bird ot prey, I think it would tempt me most as it skims through the air. For all the world It looks like a fat mackerel fitted with a pair of wings which hardly seem strong enough to carry Its plump little body to its des tlnatlon. In fact, as It whirrs up from the sea to Its burrow, as likely as not It will turn head over heels as It strikes the ground and then get up and make a wry face as It spits the dirt out of Its mouth; or else it will dash headlong against a rock with a smack that you would think would kill ft, and then look round as stupid ly as a sheep that In Its blundering course fulfils Its fate as mutton.

In fact, the only evidence I have Ib distinctly to the contrary, Mr. J. W.

He did not see It catch the bird, but it was killed by being shaken as a terrier shakes a rat, and then ducked under water until drowned. Then the gull flew with It on to a rock and, after disemboweling it, tried many times to swallow it whole, but could not get it down. On the land the puffin's footing seems un certain; in the air Its flight is labored; therefore the place to see It at Its best must be as it hunts its prey un black-backe- the morning." said young Hammond, Interrupting her.

When you get too near to them for their peace of mind but not near enough for you to see how it is done, first one and then another disappears.

Presently, if you are quiet, they begin to whirr up from the sea In twos and threes and then scores and battalions.

Every now and then quite a quarter of the population will suddenly bend forward and in an Instant in a great cloud are whirring out to sea, while those left behind look puzzled at their sudden departure and just as puzzled when In a few minutes all the wanderers return, each taking up Its position agaiu. Many observers have been puzzled to understand how the puffin manages to catch one fish after another and across Its pack each methodically Jaws, but as Mr. King opens the beak of a dead puffin yosvhave the answer from the puffin's own mouth, for there on Its palate are the rows ot barbs sloping back, between which the fish are filed.

"Every morning I have to crawl through the window to make up that young man's bed on the roof, while a small Imp who lives across the alley calls his aunts and uncles and cousins to come out and watch me. They act Just aa if I were rehearsing for a tight rope performance. Of course the law yer's room has to be swept and dusted just the safiie as If he slept there and I feel as tf he were occupying a whole suite and paying for just one room." The landlady paused for breath. The caller took the opportunity to remark: "But surely your own niece does not put you to any Inconvenience?" "She Ib much worse than the lawyer," declared the landlady, bitterly. "Health foods are her apeclalty, but she follows a, different system every week.. If she wanted lemonade and peanuts for breakfast I didn't care, but I would not let her chew raw carrots at my dining-rootable, so the raw-foo- d diet fell through. Then she decided to live on buttermilk and I had to order two quarts one day, only to find that she had stayed downtown to dinner! The amount of buttermilk I distributed among the neighbors that evening made them think I kept a cow. , "Last week my niece read that two meals a day were sufficient for any one, so she is skipping luncheon this week. She, makes up for it at dinner. Why, she eats bo much that I feel as If I were .furnishing her three meals a day while she is paying me for only two. This Idea of regulating one's appetite according to waether a meal is table d'hote or a hi carte Is hard on us landladies, with prices continually going up on everything.

"I'm after snipe," said the man with a gun as he comes along to where the old farmer was digging potatoes. "No snipe around here," was the answer. "Any quallt" "Noap." "Any partridges? "Noap." "Any ducks?" "Noap." v "But there must be rabbits?" "Can't say." "This must be a funny locality," said the sportsman In contemptuous tones. "Yes it Is," "Nothing to shoot, eh?" "Wall, there Is a little bit of game once' m a while once In a great while." "And what Is It!" "It's when a feller with a g"a comes along and kills one of our calves for a doer.
