Tears.

! Tears that tricklc down our eyes;
They do not fall to earth and dry:
They ysoar like nngcls, to the skies,
And like the angels caanot die.
For, oh lour Immortality,
Flows through each tear, sounds in each sigh
Whit waves oftears surge DER the deep
OF sorrow, in our restless souls 8. ,r
And they are strong, not weak, who weep, 3
Those drops from out the sea that rolls,
Within their hearts for evemorc;
Without depth. without shore, &
But ah The tears that are not wept,
The tears that never outward fall
The tears that grief for years has kept
Within us, they are best Of all:
The tears our eyes shall uevof know,
Are deeper than the tears that flow. +; /,

He thought, I suppose, if he thought at
all. that he was doing no harm. 1t is a
faliacy upon which men of his stamp of.
ten act, and often, alas commit man,
and many wrong. Not that 1 would
for moment assert that in his inter
course with Trix Dandy, Lindsay Kirk
had been guilty of any actual or positive
wrong. She was n scion of the lowest
thmilythc low mining district contained.
lie had first met her during the second
week of his Superintendent over his ia
theirs mines. Old Jim Dandy was lying
in q ditch ms drunk as liquor could make
him, and Lind, not being sufficiently nc.
quainted with the old wretch to under
stand that that was his normal condition,
was dragging him out when Trix came
along. Another girl would hnvo been
overwhelmed with modification, hut she
was not. She stood for moment regard
ing his operations, then said, in voice,
whose pathos WAS unnatural at sixteen
"''Taiut no use gcttin' him out of that.
He'll only tumble into the next one he
comes acrost."
Lind looked upand laughed. "NNcll,
I'll'trag him out if he does. DO you
know whohe is?"
"Ycs, | know him. He's my father"
ooh, ] beg your pardon" he said, con-
fuscdly, then added, "but VIC must get
him out Of this, for tho sun is SO hot it
will xii, him"
"Twouldnt lie no great loss" she
answered, taking one of the helpless arms
that lay so disgustingly low, and helping
Lindsay with his burden.
1t vas nothing new for her to lean
under it, and she took the experience
quite naturally; but Lind, looking over
the ragged old back that divided them,
felt II strong thrill of admiration. Not
the chivalrous, respectful admiration he
rendered generally to the sex, but the
curious pulsc-thrilling one feels when
looking at any beauty fresh from the
hand of nature.
Not that poor Trix was strictly bcauti-
iul, but there was power in the firm
young mouth, an honesty in the dusky
gray eyes, y pathetic grace in the badly
dressed figure, thatappealcd more power
fully to his senses than all the dainty,
well-elad lovcliness tlint had ever flashed
across his eyes.
She thanked him when they reached
the hut. dignificdby the sweet word home !;
thanked him in words that were ungram-
natical and badly expressed, but which
were sweet in their very humility.
After that he met her very often on the
roads and by-roads, stumbled across her
ms she sat through the purple dusks of
gloaming watching the tide roll up the
gray cXpansc of shore, came upon her rs
she fingered around the mines waiting to
see whether jim WIS sufficiently sober to
care for his dinner, sauntercd past their
iiai,isati,,n ais: saw her time after time,

.hem, flashed cut like the tinted beauty
|ff an old Vandyke picture. Ho lay
aown at her feet, and talked as he had
EEeyer before talked to woman. N
h Hctold her of his life's aspirations, Ii is
|manhood's aims, and she, whose every
homent was bcset with longings vague
|Rnd grand, so id nothing of them, only
listened to him rs faithful vassal listen s
TO q lordly muster. Once he looked up
|at her, and, smitten byca sudden sense
gof.his own egotism, aaid: >f ,'.
"Why don't you talk, Trix? lHorei I
have been telling you all that ever
wished ior, and you haven't been single
Abit confidential What; would you like
most of anything in the world?"
s An intense hungrincss spread itself
over her face, some of the old pathos came
bnck to her voice.
b 81 guess Iwant everything but can
just 50 Oh wanting, for 1 never get any
thing. Sometimes I'm just sick and
tired of life, and then again I wonder if
everything will go on just the same until
I'm an old woman, and, by way Of
change, death comes along"
Y Perhaps you think she wanted to force
a proposal of some description, but she
didn't.
Hc had more idea just then of taking
her to himself than ever he had before,
but he only said:
"Why, Trix, child, thought you were
very contcnted; I had no idea that you
were so.unhappy."
Again the lighting of face and brow,
again The flash of dcp.ccating sweetness
in the gray. eyes, again the trcmulous
naivctc of the childish voice.
.s1'm not unhappy now, but ,..e,ls.o
be NIL the time mad and sorry that
couldn't be n lady AMI dress up and be
pure and sweet like ladies always are.
Now, though | don't mind so much, /
want things just as bad as ever, but I'm
pretty happy i'll spite ofnot gcttin' them"
Poor FrIx! That was the last, ,hc very
last OF her peace and happiness!

Lind went home that evening, and,
stepping unconsciouSly into tn, breezy
dining-ro"m, found awaiting him, II
very. very pretty girl. A girl with n
bright, laughing face, and deli
cate odor ofyiolets lingering around her.
A girl that to the dainty tips of her rosy
nails was every inch IL lady.
Lind, this is Miss Edith Rodney, our
nearest ncightor, ! kidnapped her this
afternoon, and am going to keep her
long while for my own especial benefit"
Lind stood for moment in mystifica-
cation, until the laughing face came for
ward.
Mr.. Kirk looks mortified, and l don't
wonder, for this invasion is objectionable.
| live ten miles away, and Mrs. Kirk
brought me here this afternoon all un-
known to the master"
He recovered himself by that time, and
said, gracefully:
"Thc master must thank her then for
a very unexpected pleasure.
So for time Mrs. Kirk had it her own
way. Tri2 was neglected, and Miss Rod
ney filled all the spaces of Lind's life.
! can't rccapitnlatc the days that fol-
lowed, cannot tell you how Trix and
Dannie and the baby sat OIL shore alone.
How an eager pathos crept into tho
dnsky eyes, how the childish mouth
droorcd in the corners, and the tangled
black hair went sullcnly back to its old
negligence.
Miss Rodney walked, drove, rode, and
sailed with Lind. Sang to him in the
evenings, sauntered down to the mines
with him i'll the daytime, and at last she
heard of Trix
1t was nothing, Of. course. Most girls,
l suppose, would have allowed the story
to pass unnoticed, but Miss Rodney
didn't. She waited her opportunity, and
by-and-hy it came. Lind took her out
for sail one evening just in the scarlet
glow of sunset. Over the purple waters
they hoatcd fir into the blazing west.
Over the tiny ripplcs that Miss Rodncy's
pink fingers sent into n thousand I'M
patient curves She was sitting quietly
beside him, her delicate profile upturncd,
her golden hair falling like shafts of
lingering sunlight around her face.
