Over the meadows so fresh and green
Gallops the Lady Clare,
Out on the breeze, like silvery sheen,
Floats her new back hair.
Fast goes her steed over hill and dale,
Wonderful are his Jumps;
Look out my lady your horse looks pale,
Soon hewill have the thumps. @3g N&
Little you're thinking, my lady proud
Beautiful Lady Clare
That soon in grief viii your head be bowed

Eleanor.

Saturday Night.
She had been but street singer
when Jack Desmond first had seen
and heard her, this dark eyed beauty
who now held the world of Rome at
her feet.
The meeting between them had
taken place some four years previously,
and had been sufficiently romantic
even for an italian story.
He was an Englishman, yich and
cultured, making tour of Europe for
the third or fourth time, when, one
evening, sitting on the little balcony
jutting out from his room at quiet
inn In small Italian town, suddenly
delicious voice had broken into de.
licious music. 1t was voice without
cultivation, but of rare and marvellous
quality.
He leaned forward to catch q
glimpse of the songtress. She stood
on the pavement beneath, tall, slim
girl, whose dark eyes were appraised to
the place where he sat.
Music was Jack Desmond's passion.
AS yet, it had been the only abiding
love his life had evel known.
"By Jove! Such voice and a street
singer !" he thought to himself, as
he listened. "Are the ears deaf which
hear and do not heed ?"' so
When the girl paused, he addressed
her in her own liquid tongue.
"Will you come up here a moment,
my child ?" he said, kindly. "Your
music pleases me. 1 wish to reward
you" q 81
She bowed her head In assent; and
soon timid knock at the door an.
nounced her presence. He threw it
open, and started back, amazed.
The girl was possessed of wonderful
beauty. Her face, oval in shape, was
entirely colorless save for the rich
crimson of her curved lips; her hair
swept back in low ripping waves of
raven blackness from the low brow !;
her eyes were not black, as he had
fancied, but perfectly blue, large and
liquid, and full of an infinite sadness.
He took her hand and drew it across
the threshold.
Twill you answer me few ques-
tions?' he asked, "and believe them
not prompted by an idle curiosity ?"
"The signor is very good,' she an
swered. "What does he wish to
know?"
"Why with such voice and such q
face, you sing in the public streets ?"
II have no money, signor, sing to
live"
But your parents?"
"Dead!"
"Your relations ?"
"Dead!"
"You are alone?"
"All alone, signor."
How and where do you live ?"
"You have seen the how! Where :?
In tiny room, in poor place one
must know well to find" ERA
att should not be-" said the man.
"It must not bel" he added TO HIM
self. aste 41 tz4-ts
But Jack Desmond was not one to
act on impulse alone.
He now put his hand into his
pocket, and drew therefrom a gold
piece.
"Take this" he said, thrusting it
into the slim, brown fingers, land to-
morrow night cone again. I may
have a plan to propose to yeu."
The girls face slightly flushed.
With a gesture, almost like pride, she
offered back the gold.
att is generous, signor, but 1t is
charity. My song did not deserve SO
much"
