shouldering a pickaxe, he went out into the
night and the storm to dig for the buried jars
of gold. and far behind him on the wind
streamed his song
Wrapping his gray cloak about him, the
pale stripping went forth in an opposite dlrec-
ton. and Wurth saw by the window light that
he uncovered his hot brow to the dripplngs OF
the rain, and that bis lips moyed-then the
darkness came between them forever
IL was high noon. The Storm was oyerpast
but bright d:ops trickled dewn the rough bark
Of the walnut tree that stood by the mill, the
sycamores dead leaves Tapped heavily, and
little pools of water stood among the gnaried
roots of the beech. when, sitting on the tongue
Of the cart which was drawn by two mix
white oxen Farmer Trustworthy came to the
mill for his grist

looking on the ground he put nubbins Of corn
into the mouths Of the oxen, and the farmer
went on TO say
As came over the burial hill, saw

long since grave had been made there, |
checked my team, and going close to the pit

tarried but moment, for it was painful to see
the heavy and proftless strokes, and to hear
the feeble and broken song that scarce came

was the man. | had not gone many steps
when | heard smothered cry and looking
back fearful to tell, great bank Of earth had
cayed down upon him. and he was buried
