stroked his hair. Frank put his arms
around her and while she wiped away
his tears, he confessed all. He promised
ample amends in future. In Daisy's
eyes there was look of delicious tri-
umph plainly visible.
Frank enjoyed the little trip they
concluded to take West, much more
than he did his honeymoon People
wondered little but ceased when they
could find out nothing as Frank settled
down after their return and made a
model husband while Daisy, fragile and
delicate as ever, more gentle and affec-
tionate, governed him completely where
he was to have been absolute monarch.
He looked so happy aud satisfied in be-
ing thus governed that it took away
half the malicious pleasure his friend
expected to feel when he paid hin
second visit, last autumn, and witnessed
Franks mcekly pushing pcrambulator
along the garden walk which contained
his youngest baby, the ownership Of the
said baby being an houor to which his
most brilliant conquest in his flirting
days was as nothing in comparison

He took her hand, and looked at her;
No sound did that deep stiffness stir:
Even the weary, wandering rain
Had ceased to beat upon the pane;
Only about the perfect mouth
sigh, more faint than the faint south,
lowered a moments space, and then
Died into nothingness again.
The words he spoke were brief and slow;
What could he say she did not know?
What pulse of that impetuous soul
But owned her calm, sorene control?

With cunning fence Of verbal art;
Only tie ask and wait her will,
And, winning--lossinE E-love her still.

Let in some glimpse Of after days,
Some hint of all she might possess
In that true spirits tenderness,
But if her weaker life might move
Unto the music of his love.
Perhaps Who knows? He only knew
The large gray eyes wors dim with dew,
Saw only on the mouths sweet bloom
The shadow Of reluctant doom,
Felt only one sad gentle word,
And then through that deep stiffness heard
Once more the weary wandering rain
Beat dull against the window pane.

In Daisy's face there was that which
did not coincide with the first received

the decided, coutralto voice, and white,

would find way to assert anu maintain

A lady in Fairfield, Mass, discovered
that her daughter was about to elope.
She didn't make any fuss about it, but
the night on which the elopement was
to take place, gave her daughter an opi-
ate in her tea, so that the girl did not
wake up till next morning. Meanwhile
the lover had grown tired of waiting,
and left in disgust.
