The Whippoorwill. There are several reasons why the whippoorwill Is rarely seen. He sleeps all day In the heart of the solitary woods, and Instead of perching across the branch (which he is unable to do because his claws are so tiny) he crouches lengthwise along It, his dusky coloring not to be distinguished from that of the bark. His back and long wings nre mottled in grays, buffs and browns, his head black and white and his tail In blending colors, with the lower half of the outside feathers white. lie matches well the mossy limb on which he scpiats. if be Is dis covered by chnnce he utters no cry but flies silently away.

Be sides, are you sure Miss Pickering wishes to marry you?" "No. I wish your intercession with her too." "Very well: I will see what I can do." Tlie next evening Major Joseph Stone, feeling In honor bound to keep his pledge to his nephew, called at Mrs. Pickering's. "I have come to plead a cause," he said nervously. "Your daughter is a lovely woman, and 1 have come with reference to a proiHMsal from one whose heart" The major broke down. "Indeed:" The lady looked curious and pleased "He may be a little off as to age" "That would be no objection, I as sure you." "Then his income Is very limited; but, you see, I" "I see very clearly, major. The In come Is of no consequence. My daugh ter is very well off.

Your hem has come to propose for you. Fortunate girl! He Is re turning I will leave you here." And as the major re entered the mother dis appeared. "Muuiiua was mistaken, major. Here I am." "I am glad to see you looking so charming, for a woman cannot well look charming without feeling charm ing. This will make easier a delicate mission I have to execute." "I am listening." "I came to plead a cause, the cause of one who loves you." "Oh, major!" dropping her eyes. "Y'et one who admits that he needs some friend to help him." "He needs no one but my mother. If she is pleased there is no one else to be considered." "Your mother sent me to you, wish ing me success. She has noticed the drift of this affair, and she will be de lighted with the mntch. You see, you have every good quality, while the man, though a trifle young for you "Ha, ha! What a pleasant irony! Tho man is Just the age I would choose. You know I am a young thing of twenty-eight." "ne has many estimable qualities, I can assure you." "Oh. major, how you amuse met A tritler! Y'ou are stumbling along as you stumbled up San Juan hill." "That was uu easy job compared with this," taking out his handkerchief and wiping the perspiration. "I always said, major, even when a little girl, that I would marry none but a hero." "That's too bad." disappointedly. "The heroism In this case the heroism of physical courage has never yet been proved, but I dare say upon op portunity" . "You dear major! You say that as innocently as if it were really true. Ponbtlcss you think It so. The great est heroes are the least aware of their heroism, one thing I will admit be cause a niiiu is a military hero It doesn't follow that he has courage la telling a woman he loves her." "1 confess there is some cowardice in this case. A man should not em ploy any one but himself to plead his cause with a woman." "But mamma doesn't count, you know. Y"ou can't be accused of cow ardice for speaking to her first. Ma jor, you are as utterly unfitted for proposition of this kind as you proved yourself fitted to lead men In battle." "Well. then, to cut the matter short, you accept?" "I do. most assuredly." "Then, having nothing more to do, I shall wish you n very good evening and much happiness," moving away. "Nothing more to do. major?" draw ing very near and looking up at him reproachfully. "Nothing whatever. It's all settled." "Then I have something to do."

"I know you love me. dear major, though you have been too blundering to tell me so. an l I love you dearly." "By thunder!" exclaimed the major Internally, then externally: "Love you!
