SAINT VEREN1 AND SATAN


Below Mount Jura lie. vale
Extremely dark and deep and vide,
Where oncc-if may trust the tale,
Good Saint Verena lived apd died
pious damsei, sooth was she,
Who made her lowly lifa sublime
With works Of grace and charity
The marvel OF her age and cline.
To heal the SICK, ana teach the young,
And lead tie weak IN virtues ways,
Her daily life-and every tongue
In al the valley sang her praise.
Save one-of course the Evil One
Who. being evermore at strife
With pious folks, left naught undone
To end good Saiut Vereua's lifeI
Sometimes he turned-the legends say
A mountain torrent in her path;
In vain! dry saod she held her way,
To end good Saint Verenas Ii.el
And once murderer, in the night,
Tie fiend employed to take her life;
In vain for when his lantern ight
Revealed her iace, lie dropped his knife
And so il fell the devil s skill
No harm to saint Nerena brought
He %aiied to work his wicked Will,
And all his malice came to naa hit.
Enraged, al last he seized stone,
Intent at once 20 crush her head
"A rock tnat weighed at least a tomb
And held it poised above her mead.
Whereat sIe turned, and al the sight
(Such angel beauty filed her face)
Poor Satan shudGered with affriyht
And tain had fed the holy place
And III his fright - trembled so
lie dropped tae ne,-down-down it goes
To fall on Saint Verena Mol
1t falls instead on Satan's toes!
Aud since that dag he limps about,
Uuaule more to leap or run;
And, that the story none may Goubt,
You sti.l may see the very stone:
With five deep marks on either side
Whica-so the pious peasant hints
(Thoush wicked sceDtes may deride)
Are Clearly Satan's finger prln;s

occupy very high place in human inter-

he would not hold Olt any certain
hopes of immediate employment. There
were enough who were willing to secure
situation by extra endeavors, and
Emily Mcrrell lifted her soft eyes to the
face Of the forman in the hoop-skirt fac

You mean bonus ?',she asked, gravely
'Well-ycs-if You choose to call it so,
and Mr.. Parsons smoothed his sleek-shavcn
chin with an air Of the most interested in

ira trouble for nothing
No, certainly not and Emily's lip
curved contcmptuously. How much
'Oh, anything you please, said the fore
man, with an assumption of modesty. Ten
dollars is the usual consideration
Emily Mcrrell opened her portmonnaie
and took out q Worn ten dollar bill, which
she laid on the green baize cover of the
desk before which the myrmidon of power
was seated. As she did so, he opened a
huge leather bound book.

Why didn't you say so before That
alters the aspect of affairs entirely. l sup
posed you wanted to be cutter, or a
ciasper. The trimmers don't get such
good wages, but there is chance for pro-
motion, to sure. There is place vacant
among the trimmers. Lisa Martin went
home last week to the country, with bad
touch of bleeding at the lungs; YOU can
have her place at the table if You like it.
Seems to me some one told me she was
dead
Emily shuddered slightly.
What are the wages, sir? she asked.
We'll, our firm does the liberal thing.
/ Three dollars week
But ii seems to me that people can't
help starving on such wages as that
There's plenty would be glad and thank
full to get the place, said Mr.. Parsons, in
differently, as he closed the big book with
bang. If you want it, say so: if you
don't there's no use in any more palaver-
ing about the matter
And Emily Merrell found herself forced
to accept the Inevitable.
The long room was full of the gleam of
weary faces, and the buzz of many voices,
when the new hand took her place in the
nook that poor Lisa Martin was destined
never more to occupy. The girls looked at
her with inimical glances.
