Vou are therefore wholly Illegal; It's against the most sacred law of the land for you to be here at all; and, painful though It Is to me, it Is nevertheless my duty to order you to leave the United States at once, never to return.

One of the most amusing and attractive Is described by Eha In his "Naturalist on the Prowl." This little animal was lemur, and besides many gentle and caressing ways, It seemed as if It possessed a certain sense of humor. Bays Eha: "I used to take Its soft hand and examine Its pretty nails. Each band bad one long, sharp claw. Such a curious arrangement puzzled me, until one day a flea showed mo the use of that claw. It bit the lemur under the ribs. I expect the little beast had reason to be thankful that nature bad spared one toe when It promoted It to animals. the order of There never was a more charming pet. He took life so gayly, and the antics were so original.

He would be unwound In a moment, and would skip away to explore some more. . His hind legs being longer than his fore, be walked slowly, with his head down; but when In a hurry he would stand up and bound along like a kangaroo, tall in the air, arms extended, fingers spread, looking like nothing one ever saw. The servants regarded him as uncanny, and fled at his approach. He would give chase, and there never was finer sport than to see the fat butler In full flight up the long stairway, with the gleeful little demon after him, three steps at a bound.

Griswold and Habersham followed immediately behind him on horseback. . Their plans had been carefully arranged before they left their rendezvous, and save for an occasional brief Interchange between the prosecuting attorney and the governor's special representative, the party Jogged on in silence. Habersham's recruits were, It may be said, farmers of the border, who had awaited for years Just such an opportunity as now offered to avenge, themselves upon the Insolent Applewelghts. Nearly every man of the party had some private score to settle, but they had all been sworn as special constables and were sobered by the knowledge that the power of the state of South Carolina was back of them.

The guide of the expedition pushed his mule forward at a fast walk, making no excuses to Griswold and Habersham for the roughness of the trails he chose, nor troubling to give warning of slmrp turns where a horse, being less wise than a mule, tobogganed madly before finding a foothold. Occasionally a low hanging limb switched the associate professor sharply across tho face, but his temper continued serene where the trail was darkest and steepest, and he found himself Ignoring Habersham's occasional polite questions about the university In his effort to summon up In memory certain wavs of Barbara Osborne which baffled him. "Cheek up, caln't you?" snarled the s ninn on the mule, laying hold of rein; and thus halted, Griswold found that they had been circling round a curiously symmetrical, thickly wooded hill, and had finally come to a clearlug whence they were able to gaze far off toward the north.
