lric started toward Madison at a brisk stride. Sally Porter, he realised was in water so hot and so deep that it might be impossible for him. or anyone also to ex- tricate her. Her attempt to steal the alligator briefcase meant that she was capable of the most desperate kind of errands, and that his decision to protect her from the senator and the senator's investigators placed him in an em- barrassing position. Ills shielding her let her know that he was easy, or at least sympathetic, and it placed all the responsibilities of the case on his shoulders. Further. it gave his and the senator's enemies more time to ac Jectlves, whatever they might be. If he had exposed her in the senator's parlor, she would have talked. John Featherly could have made her talk. He knew how to make people talk. even girls as courageous al Sally Porter. Iy shielding her, he had actually made himself her accessory. 'I'he only consolation was that she might not have talked. that his father's bombastic questioning and all the pressure he and reatherly could direct on her would have done nothinl but open the case pre- maturely. It wasn't much consolat- ion, because it wasn't honest think. ing. By electing himself Sally Porter's protector, he had gone off the deep end. When he reached his apartment he was sleepy and hungry. He would drink the beer and eat the sandwiches he had spoken to Douglas about, then he would turn in. He opened the door and stopped. Every light in the apart- ment seemed to be on and Douglas looking pale and haggard. was waiting just inside the door. Douglas cleared his throat nervously. "Mr. Larsen—" he be- gan. "Well." Eric said. A girl had risen ‘rom the daven- port, g slender,‘ pale, black-haired girl in a rumpled pal‘ green satin evening gown. She had been cry- ing. Her gray ayes were tear- stained and her cheeks showed sllne of tears. She began hysterically. “Where en earth have you been? I've look- ed for you all over New York. I've called this place a hundred times. “I even—"

“Take it easy, Coral. What is it‘! You can go. Douglas. You'd better go to bed. Call me at eight."

He was used to this sort of thing from Coral Mayberry. Once. when he was younger. he had been flat- tered by it. but sometimes Coral was s . Because they had practically grown up together -- thelr Island places were side by side - and because she had no brothers, she had long ago elected him her brother-without-pwtfoiio. Ooral was rich and willful and spoiled.

She gamed: Barney Tecl?"

Eric was reaching toward a box for s cigarette. He withdrew his hand and straightened up again "Yes, Oliral."

"Do you know anything about him?"

"I was in Princeton with him. l know a little about him, not much. He's s very up-and-coming re- porter. You're in a position to know more than I. What's this all about?"

“Do you know anything about his father?"

Eric slowly shook his head, and he was mystified. "No. Wait s minute. (es. He's some sort of sub-editor on a newspaper In In- diana. Isn't it the Fort Bend Courier-Journal?"

"Is he drunken and worthless?"

"I don't know. Ooral, What dif- ference does it make? What's going on?"

"Will you find out?" She was still snlffling. “Will you find out all you can, Eric}! I don't know how. You do. I don't care what it costs But find out all you can."

Erie knew she was a little hard. a little daring, a little too inclined to risky experiments with people

"Coral. why won't you tell me what's the matter?"

“I cant!“ she walled. "Please don.t ask me any questions. Will you do it? At once?"

"All right." he said. "Try to compose yourself." He dialed the private number of zorane’s ap- artment. Featheriy answered.

The Order Palildloolae-"Dwgll. ers in the Marsh"—is a. sort of olnnluln gstherum of Cranes, births. nous. and Cools; oil-as VIIYIM greatly in sise and appear- ance. Unlike the I-Ieronrin the last Order. the Marsh Birds fly With the neck extended. Another feature is that the hind toe is not quite on a level with the other three. In the Order Ilerodiones, it will be remembered, all the toes spring from one level.

The Order of Marsh-dwellers is divided into three Families. Of the first two, the Cranes and Linlpklns, there are no records for P. E. I. The third Family. the Jtallidae, is represented by the Virginia and Sora Rails. and the

American Coot. Our Rails are smallish birds, up to 1O inches Ions. which skulk about the

marshy regions and hide in the reeds which fringe them. As the Rails’ bodies are laterally com- pressed, they are adapted by nat- ure to negotiate the reedy coverts. When forced to fly their flight is slow and wavering. The Rails are legal game birds. but apparently are not as plentiful as are the ducks.

The Virginia Rail

This Rail is at once distinguish- ed from the Sora by its much longer bill. Viewed from the side, these birds (of both species) are noteworthy from their short, curv- ed, pointed, and upturned tails. Virginia Rail. AOU. 212. Head: crown brownish, a. dusky white line over the eye; cheeks and chin whitish; bill long, reddish to brown. Neck and breast rich cinnauion brown, brightest on the breast. Back varied with a pat- tern of black, olive-brown. and gray; wing coverts reddish brolvn; flanks sharply barred with black and dusky white. Feet not web- bed. Young blrds" are so darkly tinted that they have been refer- red to as "Black Rails." This is confusing since there are actual Black Rails (AOU. 216), but not on this Island.

Last week these Notes carried a precls of the present-day classifi- cation of personalities. the Schiz- oids. the Cycloids. and the Pars- noids. 0n re-reading this abstract it occurred to the writer that. at- tempts to classify mankind accord- ing to its idiosyncrasies, is no new

The ancients had a said!!! "Know Thyself," but. that vras scarcely enough. It was not lllltll the Middle Ages that the Astrol- ogers made the first attempt to separate mankind into classes rather than nations or races. Briefly. a man's character was detcrtrlined by tile position of a planet or by the zodiscal ingn under which he was bot-n! This ancient superstition is still set forth in some of the Almanacs ls- sued at the beginning of the year: and is read as a pastime than an article of belie-f. At this time the words Joviai. Mercurial, Satumine. and Lunatic. (all de- rived from heavenly bodies) came into use to describe classes of men. Towards the middle of last. cen- tury the Phrenologists adopted a new classification by "tempera- ments." ‘There were four tempera-

fluids of the body as Bilious. Sanguine and Lympsthlc; while the fourth depended on quality of brain, as the Mental Tempera- lnent. This new interpretation was a surprising success in the n North of England. All the young miners studied it and subjected their acquaintances to its analy- sis.
