A LEGEND.


"Pr~icc tc IN cum, non Sc mLrahct IT cadas,"
-lSt Augustine.
There's u legend old and quaint,
OF u painter and saint,
Told at Innsbruck, in the Tyro where the swift
river flies
Where The berg with snowy crown
Hangs the darkling DER the town,
And, circling ALL the grecn-lomed hills and castlet
Alps arise.
In church. at set of sun
(rhus doth the story run,)
Some children watched the cupola, where, proppct
on dizzy frames
Daniel Asan, calm and grand,
With hCayGn-direCted hand,
Stood painting colossal figure of the great San
James.
And one there, whispering, praised
The painter as they BaZed,
Telling how he had pondcred DER each text Of IIol!
Word
That helps the story on
OF the brother of Saint John,
| OF the first Apostle who was martyred for the mar
tyrcd Lord.
Every dawn Of day, twas said,
lie ate the Holy Brcad
And every night the knottcd lash wounded hi
shoulders bare.
Silent he came and went,
Like one whom God sent
On 4 high and solemn mission, that brooks nc
speech but prayer.
For twas meet that he should pray
Who hfty would portray
The form that walked with Christ, and fCasted al
the mystic board;
Anlmuch he needed grace
Who would picture forth the faCe
That had shone back in the glory of the transngur
ed Lord.
Thus whispered they below;
While above, within the glow,
OF an isoating sunshine, the unconscious artist
stood.
And, where the rays did fall
Full clearly on the wall,
Leaned the Apostle, halt-rcyealcd in dawning saint
lihood.
Daniel Asam paused in doubt,
As he traced the nimbus out;
Would the face show DINNER should he add one
crowning raylct mOre,-
With single pointed spire
TIP the aurOral fire
Whose curved and clustered radiance that awful
forehead wore?
Hcsitatlng, back he drew,
For more commanding view,
The children trembled whore they stood, and viii
tened and grew faint.
And still he backward stepped,
Aud still, fOrgctful, kept
His studious eyes fixed earnestly upon the bending
saint.
One plank remained alone,
And then the cruel stone,
That paved the chancel and the nave, two hundred
feet below
The man, cnwrapped in God
Still slowly backward trOd,
And stepped beyond the Platforms dizzy edge, aud
fcll-when 10
Swift as n startled thought,
The saint his hands had wrought
Lived, and flashed downward from the dome with
outstretched, saving arm;
One dazzling instant, one,
The heavenly meteor shOne,
And Daniel Asam stood before the altar, free from
harm!
Like mist around him hung,
The lingring glory chung;
He felt the pictured holy ones grow still within
their frames
He knew the light that shonc
Through eyes Of craven stone;
And, fading NJ within the dome, his savior, great
st. James
Thus shall thy rescue be
(AIy soul said unto mel,
If thou but cast thysclf on God, and trust to Him
thine ALL
For he who with his might
Labors with God Alright,
Hath angel hands about him ever, and he cannot
fall.

A NOVEL SPOILED.


Tho heroine was not beautiful, to be-
gin with, not qucenly, nor in any wise
remarkable. She was just n plump,
winsomo little maiden, and she stood ut
the garden gate, that moonlit Sunday
evening, with an air the very reverse of
stateliness and composEe, pulling
leaves from the rose-bush near by with
nervous, huttcring fingers that did not
even know when the thorns pricked
them. Outside the gate was tall fig
ure, n face .bronzed and bearded, and q
low voice uttering words half pleading,
half resentful. There was a moments
pause, then the voice questioned, with
u dash of bitterness -
"Shall I go, Maggie?"
"Just as you please, Mr.. Clifford !"
vhcreupon the Questioncr turned sud-
denly about and strobe rapidly down
the country road, crushing the glitter
ing sand under his feet, while Maggie
sped into the house, up to her room,
and bolted her door as if afraid of be-
ing pursued. She peeped through n
window, from behind a curtain, until
the lonely pedestrian on the quiet road
had vanished from sight; then she as
sured herself that " if Tom chose to act
so-so-she didn't care" and proved
her utter Indifference by burying her
face i'll her pillow with burst of sobs,
and entire forgetfuIness Of the pansies
in her pretty hat.
They had quarreled about nothing
at least she couldn't remember what it
began with,-but, of course, it was all
over between them now, and he would
go away as he had said. She wondered,
as she lay with her flushed, fearful face
turned toward the stars, how it would
seem to die that night, and go away
from it all. Wouldn't somebody be
sorry then? She almost wished she
could do it,-not quite, because one
doesn't like to stop in the middle of
story, even if it is ones own and, be-
sides, what good would his remorse do
her if she could never know anything
about it?
Tom, on his homeward walk, dis
coursed furiously to himself upon the
fickleness and preversity of all woman
kind "Not one of the whole race
worth breaking fellows heart for" he
remarked savagely, though with queer
little quiver about his lips the while.
One thing was certain, he would not
stay moping there. The world was
wide, and there was nothing now to
hold him back. He would resign his
place in the village store, and join the
party for Arizona. Yes, he would take
the first morning train for the city and
tell Golfer he would go; there was for
tunatcly time enough for that yet, and
if it left brief space for separation, so
much the better. He should not wait

SO that was the end of it--a long
story cut short in the most common
place way.
And Polly absolutely left the world
at large to take care of itself for several
successive wash h-days while she planned
Maggio's outfit. Tom never went to
Arizona at all, but kept his place in the
village store, and goes home to cozy
little nest at night, where Maggie meets
him at the door and receives double
entrance-fee, because he says he shall
owe that to all toll-gatesh his life through.
And Maggie thinks, with throb of
thankfulness, how we'll it is that ten
derer Hand than our own willful ones
guides our destined. Yes, they are
simple souls and better satisfied with
their humdrum happiness than with the
most poetic misery; but, alas for their
biographer and the ruined volume

true that atrocities have been committed in
Sonora by the Apaches, as Pesquira says, but

Down by little babbling brook,
Ny best bclov'd and /,
Were wandering on the autumn eve,
When sunset tinged the sky.
We spoke of love and constancy,
And fast tho hours few by:
But time was naught to her or me,
My best belovd and I.
Another ycar--we met again,
And near the little brook,
But she was ON o couch of pain,
Aud altered was her look.
Still, youth is bright with ardent hope,
Aud radiant is its. sky,
And fondy yet we spoke Of love,

Beside the little ripping stream,
Where first our VOWS were said,
I've laid my darling down to sleep,
With roses at her head.

For with her latest sigh
She spoke Of lands where we shall meet,

Death of the Actor Macready

The telegraph, on the Doth ult., an
nounces the death, near London, of
William Cherries Macready, the cele-
brated actor, whose long life has been
filed with more stirring incidents than
perhaps ever before fell to the lot of u
man in his profession. The elder read
ers will remember the Macready-For-
rest riot in New York in 1Sl9, but the
circumstances of that tragedy will now
prove of interest. Macready visited the
United States in 192G-after having al
ready achieved great reputation in
England-and was well received on this
side of tho water, as he was during a
subsequent visit in 1913. But in 1919,
when he again revisited these shores, he
aroused the jealousy Of the late Edwin
Forrest, which finally led to a dcsper-
ate riot at the Astor Opera house in
New York. Macready was attacked by
the mob and with difficulty escaped
with his life. The military were called
in to suppress the disturbances and fired
into the crowd, killing twenty-five men,
besides severely injuring some thirty
others. Macready shortly aiterward
returned to England, and very naturally
has mover since revisited the country
whose people gave him such inhospitable
reception.
Charles James Macready was born in
London, March 3, 1893, and died at the
age of eighty. His father was manager
of one of the English provincial thea
ters, and in his seventeenth year the
boy made his first appearance upon the
stage, showing from his first appearance
signs Of unusual talent. During TIE
first three years afterward he played
only in the provinces and III Ireland
and Scotland but with great success,
and in 1916 he made his first appearance
at Covent Garden, in London, as Sores
tes," in "The Distressed Mother"
His success was assured from the start,
but he had nevertheless q hard battle to
fight in dividing with such actors as
Kean, Kemble and Young the favor of
the town. But he soon rose to the
proper rank to which his great talents
entitled him, and was deservedly es-
teemed as one of the first actors of the
century.
Upon his return from his last memoir
able visit to the United States he COM
menced an engagement at the Haymar-
ket Theater, in London, which he was
compelled to relinquish on account of
ill health, and in 1851 be finally retired
from the stage. He removed to the
town of Sherbone, in Dorsetshire, but
spent the last years of his life in Chelt-
enham, occupying himself chiefly with
the schemes of the education of the
poorer classes.
SO, within few months Of each
other, both of the actors in that terrible
tragedy in real life have gone down to
the grave together. Macready was the
last survivor of his English cotempora-
ries, the deaths of Kemble, Edmund
Kean and Young preceding his many
years.
