These are the words that greet Mr, and Mrs. E, Den- nison, of Prescott, when they come downstairs to the room in which Polly is kept, every morning. And one warn- ing that Polly is hungry does not suffice the bird, for the cry is kept up, and a very pitiful "Poor fellow" it sounds, until the breakfast is forthcoming. Polly is a remarkable parrot. It is thought that she is the first parrot in the Ottawa Valley, and she is now in her fiftieth year. Polly was brought from Australia by the late Mr. Bruce Gray when he was on his wedding trip, and Polly was bought by Mrs. Denni- son. Twenty dollars was the price paid for the bird, and it was a good stiff price for that time.

'No matter what happen, Aunt Madelon will look out for you.' She crushed him close, During dinner, she was forced to unwilling admiration of the guest of honor. She was brilliant, beyond a doubt. Though an incessant con- versationalist with women, she bad the rare tact to suppress this ten- dency in the presence of men. She became an intelligent listener, put- ting a question at just the right derstanding of a subject, encourag-| ing the 'talker to greater fluency, Ann departed shortly after eoffee was served. She was bound for a musicale elsewhere. "Well, it's all over but the shout- ing," she whispered to Madelon in the hall, "Stephen is roped and tied. Invite me to the final round-up, will you?" Miss Maitland lingered until af- ter the other guests had gone. Lane bad promised to ghow her some rare books in his library collection. Madelon was an unwilling chaper- | one. She resented Miss Mpitiand's)] presence in a room so closely as- sociated with Barbara. How could Lane find soything attractive in this florid, voluntuous woman after Barbara's slim, white loveliness, she wondered? She busied herself with some fine needlework, while the other two pored ower musty volumes, oblivi- us of her presemee. Finally Miss Maitland announced that it was late and that she must be goimg. Lame promptly signified his intention of escorting her home. While he went to order the car, Miss 'Maitland critically around the room. 'e was already the air of possession in 'her gaze.

Everybody would think me a great hunter." Very suddenly Farmer Brown's Boy stopped his day dreaming. He not only stopped his day dreaming, but he stop- ped walking. He stood still and lizien- ed.

I've got too much imagination. Nothing and nobody is following me." . So he once more started on, and be- gan to whistle. He hated to admit it io himself, and wouldn't admit it to him- self that he had a scary feeling, Never- theless, it was true. Whistling helped to keep from admitting to himself that he was scared. He wished he had Bowser the Hound along. He would have felt easier with Bowser there. But Bowser wasn't there, so Farmer Brown's Boy just whistled a little loud- er and tramped on. A Presently he came to a plage where the hemlock trees on either side of the road made it dark. He was haliyvay through, when once more he stopped. He had heard nothing; he saw noth- ing; yet he knew that some one was following him. How he knew he could- n't have told, It was just a feeling. People have feelings like that some- times. He was as sure that he was being followed as he was that hc was standing there that very minute. And Farmer Brown's Boy guessed who it was that was following him.

Who runs from an animal tells that animal at once by his actions that he is afraid. So Farmer Brown's Bay whistled his loudest and walked his fastest and gave a sigh of relief when through the Old Orchard he saw the lights of home, As he entered the door- yard he looked back, but not even a moving shadow was to be scen. Never- theless he knew that he had been fol- lowed as far as. the edge of the Green 'orest. (Copyright, The next story: Afraid."
