Clouds lowered but spring was In
the air. Amy felt it Inarticulately,
but ber housemates, the Bradleys,
were so literal-minded they resented
as "hlghfulutln" open cognizance of
things Immaterial. Therefore she was
glad to be walking alone through
naked woodland. With live hundred a
year secured her for life, the Brad
leys thought her enviable among
young women. They begged her to
stay with them as "one of the family,"
but she had been too wise to agree.
Therefore she paid them very, very
moderately in currency of the com
monwealth, much more In kindly serv
ice, and but scantily in gratitude.
Parting would be no wrench if she
were lucky enough to bring it to pass.
Madame Carey, the local great lady,
an absentee for ten months of the
year, was now home for her annual
visit, and had let It be known that she
wanted a capable younger woman to
go back with her to the city under a
sliding agreement. If they suited each
other something might come of it ; If
not, no special harm would have been
done. She would pay expenses any
thing more was for later consideration.
The Carey place was so big and
handsome, Amy thought upon coming
to it ; what a sliame it stood deserted
so much of the time. Even with
madame In residence It held to Its air
of desolation. Amy came to It by the
back wav. through orchards rather
ragged and weedy, that ran on to a
stretch of turf hardly less ragged,
which gave finally upon a rose gar
den still ungainly in winter swathlngs,
Three minutes later she was stand
ing disconsolate before an Impromptu
butler, who had Just said madame was
away till live In the afternoon he
was sure. He held the door half shut
a tall thlnnish man stood within It
asking civilly: "Will you leave a
message with me, young lady? I'll de
liver it straight."
"Thank you but It would only
trouble you for nothing," Amy an
swered, with a sudden vivid conscious
ness that the tall man had been In the
rose garden while she passed. He
must have followed her inside by an
other entrance. She wondered why.
The wonder deepened as he said per
suasively
"Better let me Judge of that.
Madame Is my stepmother, and we
are commonly of one mind about
tilings. By telling nie what Is on your
mind. I can at least settle how far
you two are likely to agree
More words went buck and forth
with the upshot of them a conference
in the library before a delightful tire
of hickory logs. It lasted till the lm
promptu butler blurted out, sticking
his head Inside :
"Luncheon's on the table, Mr.
Carey," then sighting Amy: "Plenty
for two shall I put another plate?'
Amy rose protesting again she
found herself overborne. Thus she ate
from Carey china, with Carey silver
old and beautifully kept, ber eyes the
while further enchanted by the fine
lofty old room, many-windowed, with
pictures in all the spaces between
Iter host noted the gazing. Presently
ha asked tentatively: "You like It
here?"
"Like Is no word for It," Amy an
swered ; "hut the pity of it. So much
trace and beauty shut in darkness
most of the time."
"That's my notion," Cliff Carey re
turned ; "but there seems no help for
it. Madame has nobody but me to
cherish her she hates the place for
reasons, of course but will not part
with it she wants to pass It down to
me. So we go along, each half a
heart-break to the other. By the way,
I believe this new plan of hers Is
meant In a way to give me greater
freedom."
Said Amy: "Do you want It?"
I He smiled. "A year of It after
that I won't let myself think further
running loose might make a dlffer-
! ent man of me."
j . Amy insisted upon going the way
she had come. Cliff Carey went with
her to the very verge of the rose gar
den. As they passed the rebelstein
be smiled whimsically, saying:
i "I'm sure It will remember when
j it blooms. Somehow, you seem not
j easily forgotten."
i ; He was the same, Amy decided.
Though she saw no more of him f'r
he endured them gallantly for my
sake, lie loves me as I love him
as I have since he was born. His
mother, my dearest friend, gave him
to me when she died he was barely
week old "
"You loved his father," Amy said,
not In question but as speaking truth,
and madame smiled, answering :
There was never another man iu
all the world for me. His wife, know
ing it, begged me to take her place."
Happiness is tonic. Madame was
better, stronger, more alive than for
years. Then came the cablegram
Cliff badly hurt, in danger of death,
half a world away. His mother read
It with set white lips then said to
Amy: "How quickly can we go to
him?"
Amy answered: "At once!" and
set about making that possible. So
by help of gold, steel, steam and sci
ence they came within little beyond
a fortnight to his bedside. Madame
had been wonderful shriukiug from
nothing, steadfast in courage, In en
durance, in hope, all the long way.
Amy marveled and rejoiced. At the
worst they would reach him in time,
at the best they might help him win
back to living. Coming upon him still
lu the borderland between life and
death, they knelt either side or mm,
heads bowed upon his nerveless hands,
silent but sending through him vitaliz
ing currents of love and gladness.
After long minutes he stirred lalntly.
saying in a weak whisper: "1 must
be dead and in heaveu. Mother
any Amy are there." Strength failed
him there.
Madame lifted her head, kissed lilm
three times, then walked away, saying
In her heart: "She will make his
heaven when I am gone."
Next day, almost forcibly, she had
them married. Afterward she went
outside. And there, under flittering
palm shadows, they found her dead,
with the happiness of heaven useir
frozen upon her face.

IN BRIEF.
Nature Has Balanced
Strength and Weight
The size of an animal Is of far
greater significance than the average
person realizes. Few species couiu
live In their present environments if
their bodies were much larger or
much smnller. Any decided change In
either direction would necessitate
marked changes In the habits of the
creatures and in extreme cases would
produce fatal results. This Is because
any change in size seriously upsets
the existing nice balance between
weight and strength. It has been
demonstrated many times to the
chagrin of engineers that a perfect
working small model may be a dismal
failure when reproduced on a large
scale. Often radical changes In the
relative proportions of parts are nec
essary to preserve the balance be
tween strength and weight.
When an animal's size Is Increased
its strength which Is dependent on
Its muBties Increases approximately
as the square of the dimensions of
the latter. Its weight, however, In
creases as the cube of its bodily pro
portions. Obviously therefore weight
Increases much more rapidly than
power of locomotion. Hecause of
their remarkable strength relative to
weight Insects ami the smaller ani
mals are able to make prodigious
leaps. For Instance grasshoppers and
fleas sometimes lea;) through a space
equal to 100 limes the length of their
bodies. This relative lightness Is often
a great advantage In other ways;
everyone has observed how Insects
may fall from great heights without
the slightest Injury tind how cats,
squirrels and other small animals leap
from high elevations with Impunity
