ance afterwards
Belle was radiant with happiness
when she returned to her father, and
delighted his fond heart by the
change, for Belle had been very
quiet of late.
Jenny and Belle shopped and
talked and visited together for the
next few days, and when the event
full morning arrived, and, amid a
bevy of beautiful girls, Belle shone
like queen, the bride was eclipsed,
and delightfully."- acknowledged it.
%, BELIEF she said, 4 long to
have old stoical Dick see you.
Hark, there is his step. Come into
the next room now and be intro
duced. Don't walt till the carriages
come, it's an hour yet
And Belle, with a beating heart,
swept through the door and stood
even as Dick first saw her, only, in
place of the gray travelling dress, a
magnificent white satin fell in rich
folds about her, on her lovely white
throat lay the turquoise locket that
held Dicks golden curl. Upon the
beautiful head, crowned by its chest
nut hair, a coronal of pearls added to
the grace and beauty of an image
that shined in Dicks heart, was al
ready an angel.
Belle did not look up, but she felt
the presence, as Richard Marcy
came up and was introduced to little
Jenny's old school.mate. Then, as
he held out his hand, she raised her
eyes, ann laid her tiny palm in his,
and said
Il think we had better rectify that
mistake about the travelling. bags,
Mr.. Marcy?'
Good Heaven, Jenny!' said Dick
Marcy, 'Why didn't you tell me that
your friend Belle was my sAngel of
Mercy ?''
Because didn't know it till last
night, and then Belle made me prom
ise not to tell. And besides you did
not want to see the freckled school
girl till it was positively necessary
returned Jenny. mischievously.
1t would be hard to say which Of
the four, that made Jenny's bridal
party that day was the happiest.
Dick did not go to Paris that win
ter. He found that st. Louis con-
tanned more attractions than any for.
eign city.
But the next fall will see Dick and
Belle on their wedding tour, and he
vows he will have the travelling bags
brushed up for .the occaeion. Doc
tor Townsend, who is to go along,
says he knew the minute he SAW the
girl she would one day be Angelina

A WESTERN WELCOME.
BY GEO. W. BUNGAY.

Like the voice of many waters,
Shouting where wild echo starts,
And the sunshine longest loiters,
And winter like dream departs,
A welcome comes to sons and daughter
Of our hearthstones and our hearts.
Where the sun in glory glowing,
Smiles on prairies broad and free,
Where the winds their trumpets blowing
Sound their welcomes to the sea,
Where the Mississippi flowing,
Murmurs music merrily.
Comesa welcome palpitating
With pure hospitality.
Why in cities hesitating,
Crowded, pinched by penury,
Stay the poor, undertaking
From the path of poverty?
In the country fewer vices
Prey upon the rich and poor;
Like golden banners with devices,
Blossoms beckon, birdlings soar,
And the breeze, with breath of spices,
Whispers welcomes at the door.
Want never doles its stinted rations
In the broad land nature blest,
Hear the welcome salutation,l
"Those that labor shall have rest
There is room for teeming nations
In the valleys OF the West.
