the dusty road in huge black boots, face

Mrs. Mays face was turned away as
she was fastening loose button in her
boot.

trimming eyes and cheeks suffused with
crimson.
"Gerald," said she, II must tell you a

'And you heard that delicious So
prano?' he asked.
'Yes-no II don't know whether

around his neck. II was the soprano at

''What! he involuntarily exclaimed.
"That's something worth having. Why,
you must be a genius, little wifc!''
"We can save little money now,
dear" she said, lightly; "and can hire

Gerald, I am SO happy!'

in attaining the goal Of her feminine

AT NIGHTFALL.

Creep over the hillside brown:

just after the sun went down,
Watching the gathering shadows
Creep over the hillside brown;
Coming along in the cleaning
With never a star in the sky,
Ny thoughts went a-roaming, a-roaming,
Through days that are long gone by;
Days when desire said, IT o-morrow,
Tomorrow, heart, we'll be gay!"
Days ere the heart heard the sorrow
Which echoes through yesterday
Lite was q goblet FURNISHED,
That with love for wine was filled:
The cup is bruised and furnished,
And the precious wine is spilled.
But to the traveller weary,
just come in sight Of home,
What does it matter how dreary
The way whereby he has come?
Coming along by the meadows,
And watching the fading day,
Duskier than nights dusky shadows
Fell shadows of yesterday
In the northern sunsets glimmer
The great bear opened his eyes:
Low in the East simmer
H Showed where the full moon would rise
Lights in window were cleaning,
And some one stood at a gate,
Said, why do you stand there dreaming?
And why are you home so late?"
Yesterdays shadow and sorrow
That moment all vanished away
Here were to-day and tomorrow
What matter for yester(lavl
