lOr at even time and rocked to and fro
and to and fro, and
She sang song of days gone by.
When butter was ten cents a pound,
And good men worked for dollar day.
And work was plenty around
She sang of the days when tramps we're
not.
And loafers were very few,
When women's faces were clear Of paint,
And husbands were good and true
The song she sang was soft and low,
And alump came up in her throat;
She wiped her eyes on her wrinkled
hand,
And went out to pen up her goat.
She smelled smoke as she entered the
yard. 1t was the odor of an old cigar
stub, and the good woman soon discoy-
cred strange man lying at full length
under the house. He was smoking
away, had loaf of bread under his head
and was taking his princely ease.
Come out O. that" the good wife called
"Come out o that, We Stranger
But he chuckeled chuckle and softly
said:
I'm taking the ease of a ranger"
Behind the bedroom door was the shot
gun of her fathers. 1t was loaded with
buckshot and the sight was raised to kill
at six hundredyards. Shepushed about
sixteen feet of the barrel under the
house, pulled back the hammer and
softly sang:
The top of your head will fly far away
In about two seconds or three;
And coroner bold an inquest will hold,
And the papers will itemize me.
He began TO crawl. He thought it was
the longest gun-barrel in America. and
he kindly remarked:
please pint that weepin' the 'tother way.
And please don't alarm the police.
For I'm sorrowful now and don't desire
My sadness ofheart to increase.
She turned him over to the authOri
ties, and when the court had heard all
the testimony in the case he said:
Your name seems to be George Rob-
ert, and you seem to be the meanest
kind of a yagrant.'
"Oh, no amt, Judge"
"You must be pretty low down to
crawl under an oid house to pass the

The brown bee huns away the hours
Around the yellow currant bOugh.
That hung with fragrant blossoms. make
The winds, that fiutter it and go,
Seem straight from Araby TO blow.
4 fearless wren, nest-building, shakes
The guelder roses clustered snow
And scatters down the flowery fakes
Upon the nOdding columbines,
Forget me-nots, and myrtle vines,
AND golden tulips streaked with red.
That fill the daisy bordered bed
Amid this splendor of the May
Stands Cousin Patty, lono and gray.
Too deaf the robbins song 10 hear.
Unconscious of my presence near:
With clumsy fingers, hard and brown.
She pms little knot of pinks
Within the bosom Of her gown,
And signs; of fairer days she thinks,
When she, too, seemed of spring u par:
And May time whispered to her heart
With sudden tears her eyes are dim;
Wherever lie may be,
Dear Lord, she prays, remember him
Who has forgotten me-
With silent steps | glide away.
1t seems like sacrilige to stay:
She thinks that TO the Lord alone
Her simple, patient plea is known,
Nor dreams, as irustingiy she prays.
Her long kept secret she betrays
Dear, pious soul! May heaven bless
Her true heart for lis faithfulness.
For though earth's sweetest joy have those
Who win and wear the bridal rose,
How ike the blessed saints above
human life must be
Whose wishes all are prayers, whose love
From selfishneSs is free

THE LUCKY SHOT

host ofthe Travellers Rest" as he as.
sisted me TO take off my heavy riding
coat.
Very wet indeed" | replied. I've
had my share of it during my thirty
mile ride to day."
Mine host conducted me 10 q room
with CHEEKY fire burning in the CRATE,
and, having been served with a good hot
supper and my favorite glass of hot
brandy, began TO feel more comforta-

drew up my chair to the fire, encas-
ed my feet in a pair of easy slippers, and
filled my meerschaum preparatory to a
quiet smoke, when l was disturbed by
the entrance of my host.
Wont you join the company in the
next room, sir. We have a social club
held here twice week, and perhaps
they may amuse you during the eve

With pleasure" replied. So, tax
ing my glass and pipe, l followed my
landlord into large room. which was
almost filed with numerous company.
At the moment of my entrance they
were listening with evident satisfaction
to a story told by one OF their number.
My host briefly introduced me, and l
took chair close to the story teller,
and prepared to enjoy my smoke.
Now, Mr. White, you must begin
your story again, in honor of the gentle
men, So Mr. White recommended.
"You must know gentlemen he be

brandy, and Mr. White resumed:
