one of the judges. The youth had done his
utmost. He was pale, intellectual student.
But what was intellect to do in such an are

"Dick Boulden, nineteen feet" Dick with
laugh, turned away, and replaced his
coat.
"Harry Preston, nineteen feet and three
inches. Well done, Harry Preston ?" cried
the spectators, 'you have tried hard for the

and swore he only jumped for the fun of the
thing. Harry was rattle-brained fellow,
but never thought of matrimony. He loved
to walk, and talk, and laugh, and romp with
Annette, but sober marriage never came into
his head. He only Jumped for the fun of

When Mr.. Man slid out of that shirt he
began to sweat. He dropped the shirt three
times before he got it on, and while it was
over his head he heard the clock strike ten.
When his head came through he saw Mrs.
Man coaxing the ends and bows of her
necktie.

Mrs. Man went out into another room and
presently came back with her gloves and
hat, and saw Mr. Man emptying all the box
es he could find in and about the bureau.
Then she said:
'In the shirt you took of.
Mrs. Man put on her gloves while Mr..
Man hunted up and down the room for his
cuff bottoms

Down the dim, voioeless Valley ;-Alonel
And hear not the fall Of footstep
Around me-save Gods and my owni
And the hush OF my heart is as holy

Whose music my heart could not win
Long ago was weary OF noises
That fretted my soul with their din
Long ago was weary of places

craved what the world never gave;
And said: "In the world each Ideal
That shines like star on LIES wave,
Is toned on the shores OF the real,
And sleeps like dream in the grave"
And still did pine for the Perfect,
And still found the False with the True;
sought mid the Human for Heaven,
Buteaught mere glimpse offs blue,
And wept when the clouds of the Mortal
veiled even tho glimpse from my view.
tnd / toIled on, heart tired Of the Human,
And moaned mid the mazes OF men,

And heard a voice call me- since then
walked down the Valley of Silence
That lies far beyond mortal ken.

But my tears are as sweet as the dew-drops
That fall on the roses In May;
And my payer like perfume from censer

And the music hoats down the dim Valley
TIL each finds a word for q wing
That to men, like the Doves of the Deluge
The message Of Peace they may bring.
But, far on the deep there are billows
That never shall break on the beach,
And have heard songs in the silence
That never shall float into speech;
And have had dreams in the Valley
Too LOFTY for Language to reach.
And have seen thoughts in the Wiley
All me, how my spirit was stirrdi
And they wear holy wells on their faces,
Their footsteps can scarcely be heard;
They pass thro' the Valley like Virgins,
Too pure for the touch Of word.
Do YOU ask me the place Of the Valley?
Ye hearts that arc narrowed by care?
Itlieth afar between mountains,
And God and his Angels are there;
And one is the dark Mount Of Sorrow,
And one the bright Mountain Of Prayer.
