George Travis, having counted the

She sprang from the room with a

to say that he was startled ott of what

Silently she opened the window.

Kate shut the window, and helpeM
he irate lady to dress, toching her t
~air with dainty, soothing fingers as1
she arranged it.
The household arose and went aboub !
its tasks. Visitors came and went.
Kate kept her secret well. The cre.
t
mony was over which made her a wife.
The bridal dress was exchanged for a
traveling costume.
"I shall take the iron box to the
bank as we go to the train, auntie,"
Kate said as she bade her good-by.
"As you please. l've had my say I
abont it., and no0 harm came of it,
either," was the'tart reply.
No one knew of the tragedy which1
did not take place in the silent watch es(
of the night.. .
No one knew until Kate, nestling in
her husband'.i clasp as the train sped
onward, told him the story in her owr
way and time.
'But :the hair--did you save it?
It is a clew,' he said quickly.
".1 burned it," was the calm reply
"I did not need to save it, for I knew
whose it was. I always thought he
liked aunt's money better than me.
Now I know thathle coveted the dowry
more than the bride. But the money
is safe in the bank, and wasn't it
strange that he should be there to see
it deposited?"
"Not George Travis?'' ejaculated
Harry.
"Yes. Let him go," she whispered
softly, nestling closer. "Think what
he lost-what you gainedc, Harry,
dear. Let his own conscience punish
him-if he has any. We'll never let
aunt know. We will keep our first
secret forever."
Harry Winship was a man. He
could not refuse his wife's first re
quest, and Mrs. Driscoll does not
know to this day what danger menacel
her.
Birds in the White House Grounds.
Blackbirds, robins, thrashes, blue
birds and crows make their homes in
the White House- grounds, together
with other varieties. Nearly all the
year round robins may be seen in the
grounds, and tlfey have their nests
somewhere abouts. They Bly about
the front of the grounds and hunt
among the flowers and plants for
worms. They do not bathe them
serves like the sparrows. They are
comparatively tame, as no one bothers
them. These few robins bave been
in the grounds for years. They do
not go far North, like the others of
their tribe, in the summer months.
The Washington climate suits them.
In the winter they disappear for a
trip to the winter resorts in the
South, but come back in the early
spring. The blackbirds seen in the
grounds are big tellows, half as big e-s
crows and just as glossy black.
A new woman's club is t:, be started
in Lndont to which no one under six
s et :n heigh will be admitted.
