L.ife's Mockery.

RENE McCloskey's voice is husky
with grief, and over the dimpled cheek
that looks SO fair and white in the
moonlight the bushes are chasing each
other in rapid succession. To her right
are the Catskills, their SUBMITS bathed
in a flood Of silvery light, while at their
base lies the placid Hudson, it's shim-
mering surface rejecting the twinkling
stars that are looking down in all their
silent splendor from the azure zenith.
| Directly in front of the girl, and lending
to the tout ensemble a soft warmth OF
coloring not otherwise obtainable, is a
large lar. Immediately behind it stands
Hercules Perkins.
Il am going away" he says.
The girl does not reply. The shadow
of the jar conceals the look of haunting
fear that passes across her face, and the
white lines around the dropping mouth
are not seen by the ore whose words
have caused their presence.
"Shall you miss me-" he said.

the back of a chair is trembling now,
and in the deep brown eyes there are
hot tears of sorrow and pain. Suddenly
RENE speaks.
"Go away" she says in agonized
tones. "Go away before [ tell you thai
which had best remain unsaid,,' ano
sobs choke her utterance.
A great light breaks upon Hercules
stepping quickly to the girls side ht
places his arm around her. "Tell MI
truly, sweetheart, he says, "doyou love
me?"
For answer she places a seft white arm
around his neck, and as he bends Owe
to kiss her the other hand reaches for
ward, foels cautiously around for an in
slant, and then, with a wild cry o
agony, RENE McCloskey falls forward il
a swoon.

The Private Citizens Mistake.

When an editor makes a mistake in
his paper all the world sees it and calls
him a liar. When a private citizen
makes a mistake nobody knows it ex-
cepta few friends, and they come around
and ask the editor to keep it out Of the
paper, When the private citizen dies
the editor is asked to write of all his
good qualities and leave out the bad.
When the editou dies the private citizen
says: sNow that old liar will get his
deserts. n-OI City Derrick.

that the new railroads built since January
