anime the prisoner. Littlepage was pu

For she is wealthy and am poor,
And she is far 10 see,
And gayiy she lughs at my little jokes,
And sweetly she smiles ON me-

And he gaZed in the mirror still,
Till at last right firmly be upstooi,
And he said: by st. George. Will

And she hath u house so brave.

The lady gracously said him yea,
And she decked herself in white.
And he dashed the steed, and they went with

Until they were out of sight.
And what ne said will never he known.
Nor yet what she replied,
But he brought her back on that sclf-same

From a very short half-hours ride

And his face was sad TO see.
And he ground his teeth, that Fourth of July.
Saying: "Curst shall this holiday be.
Yea. ever henceforth, this Fourth of July,

For she said me nay, with a scorn in her eye,
And for the steed and the tall buggy
