1 Breok was still thinking about the mirror. In going through his father's papers. he had seen a drawing for just such a design as she described. together with a jeweler's estimate which came to a staggering sum. He did not want Anna to know that it was his fath- er who had given that mirror to Mrs. Fontaine, when she was still Estelle Lenoir.

Everything Anna said on the way home seemed to rub him the wrong way. The night was so mild that he had gone to the dinner bareheaded and withou: an over- coat. and he was thankful that at least Anna could not reproach him for flinging down his topper and his white scarf and his Chester. field on the hall setter. as he wits very apt to do when there was no one at hand to take things from him, instead of hanging them up neatly himself. Then he moved toward the library, where the lights were still burning.

"I didn't look at the evening papers before we went out," he said. "I think that perhaps I'd better, before I go to bed. Good night. I hope you get it stood rest." An hour later he went out on the gallery and looked moodl'.y.al1- most unseeingly. over the lawn toward the flowering shrubs and graceful trees. Then he walked down the path and into the de- serted streets. Almost before he knew it, he had reached the Fon- taines' house again. The front of it was in darkness. But lights still shone from some of the side win- dows, and the sound of music floated through them.

Breck opened and closed the gar- den gate quietly. When he reached the clump of shrubbery surround- ing the music room. he stopped. He could see Celeste sitting at the piano, with the light from a tall lamp streaming down over he.- bronze-colored hair and her while neck and arms. The rest of the room was in darkness. He stepped back among the ht-mboos.

Celeste had finished singing while he -was crossing the lawn. Now she began to sing again. this time the West Indian lament of a Negro lover sympathizinv, with the grief felt by his quadroon sweet- heart because her rival had sup- planted her in the affections of her white master.

The final notes trailed softly off

Enough light filtered into the room from the open nvindow for him to make out the contour of Drew's dark, tousled head and red. rounded cheeks. He was clutching a top animal. made of wood. Anna would not allow him to sleep with a woolly one. because she consid- ered it unsanitary. Gently as he touched it. the child stirred. sleep- lly. tightened his hold on the an- imal. and, turned. Brock bent down and kissed him.

"Don't worry. old man. I wasn't going to take it away from you." he whispered reassuringiy. Then in a still lower voice he muttered. "I hope you won't have to go on hug- ging wood forever."

CHAPTER X.

The next afternoon. when Brock returned from the Boston Club, he! found Anna. in an unusi:a'.ly ami- able mood.

t "Marie Celeste Fohtaine dropped in on her way home from s::nool,"

she told him. "She inv.'f.ed us t.o have dinner tornnrrc-xi evening with Olivier and herself, and to

go to sce 'St. Joseph's altar? after- wards. Bhe said this would be Mi- Carcme, and that there was al- ways a very interesting celebration. Did you ever hear of it?"

"Of course I have. We always used to make a tour of the Italian Quarter on St. Joseph's Evening, when I was a youngster. lo see the altars. Well. that was darned thoughtful of her. wasn't it? jDld you say we'd go'l""

"Yes. Provided that you wanted to. I was careful not to commit you to anything. Brock."

"But gosh. I'd like to be com- mitted to anything that's as much fun Is that is. And we could go up to splendida the next day, or even the day after."

By the time Olivier and Marie Celeste called for Anna and Break. in Olivier's ' t red-cushioned. white-bodied car. he-was in holi- day mood. This suffered a slight setback when Olivier automatically

EARLY MATING

June is our popular month for weddings. but in Birdland mating takes place much earlier hi the year. Great Horned Owls rush matters. it may be all very well in the southern United states to start housekeeping in January. but sometimes snowstorms are still going on in parts of Canada when the eggs are being hatched in Feb- ruary. However. these babies are brought up in a hollow tree trunk, protected from the worst weather. Young Horned Larks have a much harder time. Their parents often build soon after mid-March. right in the open. on the ground. Little Larks may be bcrn before the snow is over. Occasionally Wood- cocks and Killdeer Plovers also begin nesting in March.

Among the first birds to consider the advislbility of chcosing a part- nor are many of the Ducks. In the south. as early as January, parti- cularly Mallards and Black Ducks may be seen flying in pairs - the female leading the way. the male following. Migrating north as hus- band and wife, they are ready to begin homemaking at once-., per- haps before, March is out. Pintails. too, frequently get here are all the ice has left our lakes: it is not unusual to find their eggs at the beginning of April.

Mtany sea birds and shore birds also carry on courtship antics be- fore they are back in their breed- ing grcunds. so we miss seeing this performance. But ordinarily males come first, choose their territory. and guard it until the fema'les ar- rive. Ciiebes show their love by swim- ming out from shore and letting out "a succession of yell: and wailings"; male Gulls feed their sweethearts; Gannets go through a ceremony that looks as though they were drinking; certain sand- pipers preen their feathers and lift their wings. some males pre- sent nesting materials to their chosen brides; others do much bowing or fanning out of their tails. An Oven-bird was observed making that "kneading" notion, like a cat does with its claws. Birds

show off just as do young lovers.
