quiet.
Al last the scoundrel entered her bed

with her iace to the wall. MIR, Burglar went
up To the bedside, bent over her, placed his
hand under her cheek, deliberately turned
her face upward and took n long look at it
by the aid Of his dark lantern. The young
eirl meyer moved n muscle, and the burglar
let the face carefully back TO its resting
place ON the pillow, and left the room and
the house. The young lady caught a
glimpse of his face through her eyelds as he
looked at her. lie wore a mask, and that is
all she can tell about his appearance. Moth

WILMINGTON. TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 49,
The story Of an Afternoon.

The clouds were up in the sky
And was down on the earth,
And little heather was round about,
And a baroness, and drought, and dearth

A barren land and a poor,
And nothing except the cloudsi in heaven,-

And weary, weary, desOate day
Going doeiully, dolefuly by,
with somebody III on the earth away,
Or well, away In the skyi
Oh, well, awny in the skyl
but III for me were 1t So
To be never more under the light Of those eyes,
With its rain-like overflow
To be left forever outside
or the holding, folding arms,
All unfenced In wide, bleak world,
And host of possible harms
All, well for her In the quiet sky
But III FOR me If she were,
And sore heart now that cannot tell
Which world contaneth herl
Could know she was up and at home,
might bethink me then
of all the terror and trouble ofheart
That would never be hers again.

And the falling, uncertain look,
And the .dare not" of the aveited eyes,
And the hand that strained as it shook,
And the terrible, terrible love
That burst not look ahead
To the certainty of being mourned,
Or Of mourning over the deadl
would think of that other love,
Grown suddenly great with sight,
love beyond the shadow ofdeath,
A love without alright
An oyergrowing love
That should meeken all the rest,
And make II sweet to bo ref from all
And laid alone oil his breast:-
perfect, quiet, satisfied love,
With never sorrow to come;
love at haven in n grenter love,
And first and forever ut homel
But dare not think of II yet,
dare not think Of It now,
Lest the blood come throbbing back to tue cheek,
And the carG-shade bnek TO the brow;
Lest find was only dreaming,
And the peril not past, nor the wall
Lest dream other coming to port, and wake
To find her out in the gae
And so the ungratetll tears
Come swelling and sliding iurth,
And forget TO render thanks
For blessing left to the earth
For oh, whit work 1t is loving,
II people will love 30 dear,
And tremble between the going away
And the burden and bondage here
For with such heart to be hurt
In such world rs this,
Or with such loneliness for me

And pattern of words on the white,
And a sudden blindness over the eyes,
And a rush of tears at the sight

Of waking ecstasy
And, awful with utter love,
With Joy deep and pure after pain,
