LITTLE BARBARA

Pretty Barbara ripe and red,
With sweet, small mouth, like the bees abed,
And full Of nectar and honey dew;
50 pretty thing, dare not swear
To the art of the ribbon that ties her hair,
Or the buckle that binds her shoe:
So like each trinket she has to wear,
| 1t reems just as if it grew
Like rose in its petals and pollen dust,
That wears it's beauty because it must,
And something like Barbara, too
As she dips her small tin bucket in
The little fountain of woven glass,
Like webs that the spiders weave and spin
10 hang on the shining blades of grass,
A face as bright and happy as hers
In the net of the silken gossamers,
Looks out of the waters smooth eclipse,
AS # it was happy TO hold within it
The soft verbena red Of her lips,
And kiss and caress her just for minute,
In the arms, of the dimples smooth and still,
Ere it goes and sobe rlyturns the mill
For life to her in the honey-dew
IS nothing yet but the way-side spring,
Between the upper and under blue,
That makes a fiction of every thing,
AS perfectly like as if it grew;
And she is too happy to see within it
The shape of her small, sweet self minute,
From the bow in the hair to the tie of her
shoe,
TO know that the marvellous shadows mean.
Ihe simple inner beauty that shows
But now in the color of a rose,
AND now like the waters smooth eclipse,
In hearts that hold her picture still,
As we so and soberly turn the mill.

Z y
halter, and bootmaker, and barber had
combined to make his exterior unexcept-
lonable. From the polished tip of his
neat boot to the starched purity OF his
reckcloth and the glossy dash of his silk
hat, he was Incompatible. AS they en-.
tered, he tipped one lid over its black eye
to initiate that he knew what he was
about, and raised his antagonist 1900 on
two jacks and three aces.
"He's devil?" muttered Beardslev,
and ordered the waiter to bring his best
wine. Then they sat and smoked and
chatted and watched him play.
"There must be $4,000 at his right, :"
said Holler.
BY and by the man would play no
more, and the two arose and walked up
and down the room arm in arm, and pres
emily Pugsley dropped out to where the
two students were standing, made an ap-
pointment to meet him at the "Occidcn-
tai" at | o'clock, and went off, with a
polished bow to meet friend at another
place. 1t was 1890.
The young men drank wine, but were
too excited to get tipsy. The city hall
clock had not yet struck one when they
walked into the ''Occidental.'' There
was no one there but the sleepy clerk.
The clock struck, and the hands crept
round to half past, but Pugsley did 1T
come. They looked into each others
faces with bewildered eyes for second,
and then Beardsley spoke to the clerk:
"Has Mr.. Pugsley been in lately?''
'.Pugsley? -Pugsley? Yes, settled up
and went East on the 1920.
They walked out without saying word
without daring to face each other. But
when they all stood in a detected group
In the hall, they all looked, again each in
to two CHASTITY faces, and Holden ex-
pressed the thoughts Of every one in one
short sentence;
"He's gone back on us!
They crept away into their rooms with
out another word. And the conductor
of the 10: 30 train, fifty miles away, was
changing a very large bill for an elegant
passenger who had plenty more of the
same sort in his wallet, and was smiling
serenely on his way to the races. He did
not meet the students that season.
