ments have been made so that the "cat- 

 tery" is gradually assuming the air of 

 a park. Twenty or thirty yards, fitted 

 with sleeping boxes for summer use 

 only, stretch awa} From the "cabin" 

 and in front of these is an evergreen 

 plantation culminating in a Japanese 

 garden where the goldfish disport 

 themselves in a miniature lake. A 

 screen of honeysuckle, Virginia creeper 

 and purple clematis screens the dump 

 where all refuse is burned, and wis- 

 taria, rambler roses, lilacs and many 

 other blooming plants do their lovely 

 best to make the spot attractive.

These "Babes in the Woods" were 

 lefl orphans by the killing of their 

 mothers by Indian hunters, and finally 

 came under the care of the game War- 

 den. They were so young they had to 

 lie iv<\ milk from a long-nosed bottle, 

 and were as uncertain and wobbly on 

 their long, slender legs as a little call. 

 They were quite tame and gentle, but 

 sadly missed the protective warmth of 

 the great shaggy-coated mother es- 

 pecially at night, when thev would call 

 her with a low plaintive bleat.
