What brook bewitrhed her to its brink.
And drew her fresh lips down 70 drink
Its music. while Il clipped unseen
Its happy cadences betweens-
So sweet and glad the voice that slips
From ambush Of her maiden lips.
What winds upon the hills gave room

Her rounded cheeks. and made her hair
a lying sunshine In the airy--
for stln. like sun-gleams on rose,
Her hayward color comes and goes.
What graybeard tree upon the down

And whispered through his ancient girth
The long dumb sorrow Of the earthf--

Almost their gladness overlies.

tai, but to their surprise Whittle recov-
cred, though the surgeon failed to find
the bullet. They told him after his re-
coyery that he might live ten or twelve
years. When that time expired he
thought they were mistaken, but about
nine months ago the injured lung began
TO disappear, and about four weeks ago
the decay became so rapid that he was
confined TO his bed and sank rapidly
until he died. His case attracted good
deal Of attention In the medical frater-
nifty. The obituary advertisement says
that the bullet with which Whittle was
shot was poisoned. --Ney York World.
