Why this longing, this forever signing

Would'st thou listen to its gentle teaching,
All thy restless yearnings it Ould still;
Leaf and flower and laden bee are preaching,
Thine own sphere, though humble, first to

Poor indeed thou must be, il around thee
Thou no ray of light and Joy canst throw,
II no silken cord OF love hath bound thee
To some little world through veal snd woe;
II no dear eyes thy fond love can brighten,
No fond voices answer 70 thine own,
ii no brothers sorrow thou canst hGAteh,
by daily sympathy and gentle tone'
Not by deeds that gain the worlds applauses,
Not by works chat win thee world renoWn,
MOI bv martydrom or Wanted crosses,
Canst thou win and wear tue immortal

Every day rich reward VIII give;

But with ferYent love il thou adorest,

Yet if through earth's wide domains thou

But Sarcany stopped. He risked being
recognized. A curse escaped his lips.
Then springing off TO the right before Pes
cade could reach him, he vanished among
the bushes.
An instant afterwards, as Toronthal
had gathered himself together to jump
from the rock, he was seized by
Cape Matifou, and pulled back ON to the
road.
"Let me go! Let me go!"
LET you make q mistake, Mr.. To-
ronthal? On, dear no." answered Point
Pescade.
He was quite unprepared for this incl
dent, which his instructions had not fore
seen. But although Sarcany had escaped,
Toronthal was captured, and all that
could now be done was to take him to An

all the honor that was mis- due.

fatal fall. However, after risking their
lives a score of times. they gained the

in one OF the deserted creeks. And an
hour later that swift vessel had arrived
