SHADOWS ALL

Shadows all!
Ghosts Of buried yesterdays.
Echoes Of forgotten lays,
Love that walks in sunny ways,
Through life's somber pail;
Dreams Of gladness.yet to be,
Songs of summer leaves and sea,
Music, too, DER land and lea,
Shadows ALI
Shadows ALL
Thoughts Of trouble, time and years,
Hopes of mirth and pain oftears,
Anguish of unfounded fears.
That forever call;
Waves Of sorrow, eides of sin,
testers prank. or daughters din,
Fame that we are yet to win,
Shadows ALL
Shadows ALL
Life and death and leaf of spring,
Bud and flower and grave of king,
Posts song Of wounded wing,
Notes Of birds that fall;
Fear Of future. dread of past,
Hate of peasant. pride of caste,
These, that neither fade nor last,
Shadows all

CHAPTER TX,

A day or two after had witnessed what
must call Carriston's second seizure we were
favored with visit from ths man whoss
services we had secured to trace Madeline
Since he had received his instructions wa
had heard nothing o! his proceedings until
he now called to report progress in person.
CarristOn had not expressed the slightest
curiosity us to where the man was or what
he was about. Probably he looked upon the
employment Of this private detective Al
nothing more useful than salve to my con-
science. That Madeline was only to he found
through the power which he protested to
hold Of seeing her in his visions was, felt
certain, becoming q rooted belief of his,
Whenever expressed my surprise that our
agent had brought or sent no information,
Carriston shrugged his shoulders and assured
me that from the first he knew the mans
researches would be fruiAess. However, tho
fellow had called at last, and, hoped, had
brought us good news.
He was glib-tongued man, who spoke in
a confident, matter-of-fact way When he
saw lls he rubbed his hands as one who had
brought affairs to a successful issue and now
meant to reap praise and other rewards,
His whole bearing told me he had made M
important discovery: so l begged him to be
seated and give us his news.
Carriston gave him u careless glance and
at some little distance from us He looked
as if he thought the impending commun:ca-

to. He might, indeed. from his looks have

Mexican Feather Work.

While in Mexico l tried hard tosfind
out how they made the lovely birds on
cards which they offered for sale on the
streets. A friend took me to the house
of one of these artists 1t was q little
hovel, where he sat on the mud floor
and toiled. But when he heard us COM
ing he put away all his work and would
not let us see it. He was an Indian,
with brown skin and black, straight
hair. He wore ragged clothes and had
an old blanket to keep him warm at
night Poor as he was, no money
would tempt him to show us the secret
process he had learned from his father,
which had been kept in the family for
hundreds of years. Great skill Is re-
quired to produce perfect picture.
First the Indian traces on the card the
outlines of the body of the bird In wax.
just enough for the feathers to stick to-,
Then he begins at the lower part and
places them on, one at q time, one
row tapping over the other as q slater
lays states. He works very slowly and
patiently. Perhaps this Is the secret Of
his perfect work, and the reason that
no other people have been able to equal
him The result is bird that looks
as though it might sing or fly. The
eyes are made with small glass beads,
and the bill and feet are painted SO
nicely that they appear to be part Of
the bird. Then he paints a twig or
branch for it to rest on, or makes ono
from feather. and his work is done. -

THE TOAD.

Oh, a queer little chap is The honest old toad,
A funny old fellow is he;
Living under the stone by the side of the road,
Meath the SHADE Of the old willow trec
He is dressed all In brown.
From his toe to his crown.
Save his vest, that is silyery white.
He takes long nap In the heat of the day
And Wake in the cool. dewy night.

From his homie in the bog;
But the toad he says never word.
He tries to be good
Like the children who should
Be seen, but never be heard.
When winter draws near Mr.. Toad goes TO bed,
And sleeps Just as sound as "a top,
But when May-blossoms follow the soft April
showers,
Ne comes out with a skip, jump ana hop.
He changes his dress
Only once. confess,
Every spring and his old, worn-out coat
With trowsers and wastcoat, he rolls In ball
And stuffs the whole thing down his throat
"k-rruk, k-rruk, says the frog,
From his home In the bog;
But the toad, he says never word
He tries to be good,
Like the children who should
Be seen, but never be heard.
His legs they are long, and he leaps when hi
outsteppins W all at bound;
He wears both his eyes on the top OF his head
Queer place for ones eyes to be found!
You may think him a fright
And of course you are right;
But his ugliness | would defend,
For ne dimes on the bugs that destroy th'
sweet flowers
