THE DAILY NEWS.
Coronation,
By HELEN HUNT.

At the kings gate the subtle noon
Wove flmy yellow nets OF sun,
Caught in the drowsy snare too soon'
The guards slept one by ono.
Through the kings gate, unquestioned then,
A bcggar went. and laughed, Anis ofinse
Me chance at least TO see II men
Fare better, being Nnss.s
Tho king sat bowed beneath his crown,
Proppins his face with listless hand;
Watching the hour-slass sitting down
Too slew its shloirg sand.
.,Poor man, what wouldst thou have of me ?"
The be2gar TUNED, AID, pitying.
Replied, like one in dream, "Of thee
Nothing. want the king"
Uprose the king. and from his head
Shook or tn crown, and threw 1t by;
30 man, thou must have known" he said,
"a greater ling than ]"
Through all the gates, unquestioned then,
Went king and besgar hand in hand
Whispered the king, "shall know when
Before His throne stand 2"
The beggar laushed. Free winds in haste
We're Wiping from the kings hot brow
The crimson lines the crown had traced.
This Is Hia presence now.
At the kings gate, the crafty noon
Unwove its yellow nets OF sun;
Out of their sleep in terror soon
The guards walked one by one.
.eHo therei Ho therel Eas no man seen
The king? ?" The cry ran to al d fro.
BeeRar and king. they laughed, ween,
The laugh that .ree MN know.
On the kings gate the moss grew gray;
The king came not. 1hey called him d cad;
And made his eldest son, one day,
Slave in his fathers seaa.
lAtlant,c Monthly, for February.
