The Mocking
Bird Girl
By F. A. M1TCHEL
One afternoon In April while on a
visit to Washington 1 was sitting on a
bench in one of the parks. The leaves
were half blown, anil among theni
birds were twittering. Oue little song
ster In a tree above my head was now
and again giving two melodious notes,
the first higher than the second. Then
suddenly Just behind me these notes
were repeated by a human voice, fol
lowed by a girl's laugh. 1 cannot say
which was the more musical, the Imi
tation of the bird's piping or the laugh.
I turned and saw three girls, all with
their backs toward me, moving away.
Cupid has many arrows In his quiver
but there is one, called fancy, that he
uses more than all the others. At any
rate he had let drive at me with such
an arrow and pierced my heart 1 had
been caught by the trilling Incident
that 1 have mentioned and was eu- ,
amorcd of the girl who had mocked a i
bird and laughed. I fancied her the j
embodiment of feminine mischief; her j
smile between dimples was doubtless |
expressive of that melodious laugh, j
and her eyes laughed as well as her
lips and her voice.
Had 1 been a trifle less fanciful and
more practical 1 would have arisen
and hurried after the girls to get a
view of the one who had bewitched
ma But by the time I became aroused
to the situation It was too late. 1 went
after them, but the park was full of
people, and they were l«*t in the
crowd.
A few evenings later I was attending
a reception at the White House. I j
waa standing near the opening to the j
conservatory with a married lady to j
whom I was Indebted for invitations, j
Suddenly from within the conservatory
I heard the musical laugh that had
charmed me. But unfortunately high
growing plants were between me and
the person who laughed, and I could
not see her.
I would have given all 1 possessed
if I could have left my companion aud
hurried around what screened the girl
I longed to see. But no. Convention
ality held me. To leave a woman
standing alone at a function would be
unpardonable. And what excuse could
I make for such an act? Could I say:
"Madamo, pardon me. There Is a
mocking bird girl behind those palms
with whom I am enthralled. I must
leave you to go to her?" Such a course
would be to commit social suicide, for
I have observed that of all the women
In society the most sensitive to the at
tention shown them are those who
have husbands. I remained at my
post, but heaven knows what it cost
me to do so. Later 1 would have tried
to And her, but how could I do so nev
er having seen her face?
The next time I heard my mocking
bird laugh I was at the capitol, up in a
gallery under the dome. Directly be
low me walked a man, a woman aud
a girL I could see the tops of their
beads and shoulders, but nothing more.
Then up came the laugh. It was the
same I had heard twlc* before. I
would know It among a thousand.
I was tempted to Jump down fifty
or a hundred feet and land before my
charmer. Instead, I turned and ran
down the stairs so fast that I fell and
when I tried to rise found It impossi
ble to do so. I bad brokeu my leg.
I cursed my fate for many reasons,
but the principal one was that I must
give up hope of ever finding my charm
er—that is, if she was a stranger in
Washington. If not, I would remain
there as long as I lived in order to find
her.
1 aia noi k«i me use v>« .,.B ..j...—
till July, and then it was too hot to re
main In one of the hottest cities In
America. I would have done so, but
I didn't believe the girl I wns looking
for would be there. With a heavy
heart I went northward.
In October I returned to prosecute
my search. I accepted all the Invita
tions I received, hoping to meet my
mocking bird 4M. I was doomed to
disappointment Everywhere I went
I listened and never heard a girl laugh
that I did not feel a paug because It
was not the one I longed to bear. I
was Introduced to many girls, but none
of them could fill the gap in my heart
One evening I was assigned to take
a certain young lady out to dinner.
She was very pretty. Her eye was
liquleC her smile flanked by dimples.
I passed a delightful period chatting
with her, for there was between us that
wireless something which tells two
persons that they like each other. I
parted with her under the impression
that she might make me forget my
laugh girl.
I met this young lady again and ask
ed permission to call. It was granted,
and during the first evening I spent at
her home I made a discovery. She
began to play the piano, and this set a
canary bird In another room to singing.
"I once heard a girl." I remarked.
"Imitate a bird to perfection."
"I can do that," she said and straight
way reproduced some of the canary's
notes. Whether It was the expression
on my face or what It was I know not
but she laughed.
I sprang toward her and took both
her bands In mine.
"I've been bunting you since last
April!" I exclaimed. "I beard yon Iml
fctte a bird In the park and laugh.
That laugh made me your slave for
ever."
And I spoke the realistic truth. We
have been married ten years, and 1
have never yet had my way in a single
Instance.

HUBBARD GLACIER
Alaska's Gigantic Frozen River
as It Meets the Sea.
THE MOTHER OF ICEBERGS.
Rumblings and Roarings That Come
as the Masses of Ice Break Away
From the Face of the Lofty Cliff to
Start on Their Ocean Voyages.
The birth of an iceberg is strikingly
described In a report made to the Na
tional Geographic society by It. S. Tarr
and Lawrence Martin, who beaded the
expeditions of the society to Alaska
for the study of the behavior of gla
ciers there.
"The front of the Hubbard glacier,
measured in a straight line, is three
and one-half to four miles wide. But
since tlie ice cliff has a sinuous form
with projections in the center It is in
reality much longer than this, the total
length being between four and one
hnLf and five miles. This cliff rises be
tween 250 and 300 feet above the wa
ter and extends an unknown distance
below It
"One usually needs to wait but a few
moments to hear from some part of the
cliff the thunder-like rumble or roar
which is the first announcement of an
iceberg's fall, followed a few moments
later by the appearance of a great
swell, which on reaching the shore
forms a line of white breakers even at
a distance of several miles from the ice
cliff.
"By watching the ice cliff one may
see the huge masses fall from the ice
front and a fountain of water dash
perhaps even to the top of the glacier
and then in a few seconds hear the re
port which the rending; of the glacier
sends out
"One is fascinated by the perform
ance. Sometimes it is only a small
piece that falls, and then a sharp
single report like the crack of a pistol
goes through the air; again a part of
the front crumbles and the down
sliding ice, broken into small pieces,
seems from a distance like a foun
tain of water, while the report is only
a low rumble; at other times huge
masses break away, forming large
Icebergs, and t ho noise then produced
Is like the heavy rumble of distant
thunder, anu at rare intervals one
may see a huge mass of blue or
blacJ: ice thrust itself up frotu be
low the fiord, some distance from the
glacier front, as a part of the sub
merged ice foot Is broken off, and then
no report is heard, but the wave that
follows is far greater than usual.
"The water waves which follow the
discharge of Icebergs from the front
of Hubbard glacier arc of great mag
niture. In September, 1013, for ex
ample, the big steamship Trincess
Maquinna was aground on a reef
Just west of Oster island with the
members of the international geo
logical congress, who visited Yakutat
bay under the guidance of the junior
author. The ship lay somewhat over a
milo from the glacier, and yet the
water wave following the discharge
of Icebergs from Hubbard glacier
caused the steamer to roll until she
took In water on the main deck as
first one side and then the other was
tipped far down by the iceberg waves.
"There are periods when for an hour
or two there 1s very little discharge
and then periods, fully as long, when
scarcely a moment elapses without the
sound of icefalls from some part of the
glacier front It is possible that these
differences are in some way related to
the state of the tide, but we have
not determined whether the periods
of quiet and activity form part of a
regular cycle or are merely Irregular
intervals due to accumulation of strain
and relief from strain or to expan
sion and contraction under sunlight.
"While there are periods of relative
quiet, they are not periods of absolute
repose, and they occupy far less time
than the periods of activity. Day and
night the ice falls, and the reports
that pass out through the air are so
frequent that it is fair to speak of
the glacier as almost ceaselessly ac
tive. The noise disturbs one's sleep
at first, and sometimes, when an un
usually heavy fall occurs, wakens one
even after bn his grown accustomed
to the ordinary rumble. A sense of
nervous relief is felt when camp is
removed to a part of the fiord to which
the iceberg roar aud the breakers on
the coast do not reach."
