IN SEPTEMBER.


Mornings frosty grow, and cold,
Brown the grass on hill and void;
Crows are cawing sharp ana clear
Where the rustling corn grows scar;
mastering fiocks of blackbirds call;
Here and there few leaves fall,
In the meadows larks sing sweet,
Chirpe the cricket at our feet
In September.
Moons are sunny, warm and still;
A golden haze o'erhangs the hill,
Amber sunshine's on the floor
Just within the open door;
sui the crickets cali and creak--
Never found, though long we seek
Ut comes faint report of gun;
"usy lilies buzz in the sua-
In September.
Evenings chilly are, and damp,
Early lighted is the lamp;
Fire burns and kettle sings,
Smoke ascends In thin blue rings;
On the rug the children lie;
In the west the soft lights die;
From the elms robins song
Rings out sweetly, fingers long
in September.

He knew that for all that had bcfallen sho

She hal not tried TO win his love. She had
not accepted that love when offered. Too
well he knew why. Yet he knew also that
she loved him-lovcd him but would never

No friend Of Carruthers' would have known
him, as, with heavy brows and bent head,
he walked through those quiet streets of
suburban London.
But why the fishti No new dread no
new danger could have threatened her Did
she after all fly because he was coming to

resolution must give way, and with one
breath she must avow her love, and with the
next tell her lover that love could not he be-

have stayed his coming. She had even as
good us asked him to come. She was not
dying from him.
Then the thought Of that man who was
seeking her came to his mind. He shuddercd
and lit his lip; he knew not why. But his
first thought was to trace thi, unknown man
and hear why he wanted Beatrice.
His mood changed. lie would not seeb;
him. He had no more TO learn. After what
he had this morning heard all inquiries, all
information, could but tend to make him
more miserable. There was nothing now
left for him in the world hut sheer hard
work. Wort, work, work, tho greatest
blessing ever given to man.
So he walhel on and on, almost crying in
his anguish almost raving in his utter help
lassness TO mend matters. But all the while
do " hat he coul to tear his idol out Of her
shrine, thinking Of her as the calm, fair,
stately girl he had known and loved, the one
of all the world against whom SANDER should

had simply faded away All he could now

her there was one who would ever be as u

shook her head.
Again Frank ressel her, again and again.
She still kept the secret, but ever and anon,
by means of some unguarded expression, let
a corner slip out. So much so that Frank
| fully realized tho fact that Beatrice was
driven to seek that interview by some great
stress, some grievous need. He began to
fancy that in spite of her denial in knowledge
even of her name, Mrs. Rawlings might
be able to tell al about the flight

Close the bars.

The open dram shop is the curse of the
nation. 1t lures the young into paths of
temptation and sin; it destroys the life of
manhood and old age. The liquor traffic
is the chief source of the crime, pauper-
ism, misery and woe of our country. The
open bars of the SOC, 900 grog shops cause
three fourths of the heavy burdens of
taxation; they are the haunss of infamy;
they beget violence and murder; they
rob the innocent, dependent wives and
children Of food and clothing; they ruin
the bodies and imperil the souls of their
unhappy victims. Close all the bars of
the dram shops of the country and 1t

would be improved, factories would
