very clumsy, very cruel, YET 10 whlch tney

man may blamelessly desert an innocent wo-
man but not guilty one; he may break the
heart OF the bruised lily and no harm done, but
he must bide the brunt with perjuied Gnin-

The Inland dWeller creams Vi INC sea anu
thinks he knows it and believes it to be mag
nifed duck pond and no more. Can he tell
anything of the light and shade, of the wave
and the foam, of the green that is near, Or the
blue that is far, of the opaIine changes, now
pure as doves throat, now warm as a flame,
OF the great purple depths, and the fierce blind
ing storm and the delight and the fear, and the
hurricane rising like horse snorting for war,
and all that is known of the man who goes
down to the great deep in shipsI Passion and
the sea are like each other. Words shall not
tell them nor color portray them. The kiss
that burns and the salt spray that stings-let
the poet excel and the painter endeavor yet the
best they can do shall say nothing to the wo-
man without a lover, and to the landsman who
knows not the sea. II you would liye,-love.
You will live in an hour lifetime; and you
will wonder how you bore your life before
