HIS OWN WORLD.
BY NJ. EILEEN HoLAHAN.

'LANruE!"
The girl, standing by the rustic stile-fit-
ting passport TO an old rail-fence almost hid
from view by Wild tangle of s!iribbery,
vines, and hraped dead leaves-tae re-
mains of numberless dead summers-stiiled
a gasp that might have been pain, surprise
or joy; perhaps a combination of all.
The dreamy, thoughtful eyes grew sud
denly dark and dilated with suppressed
feeling; but she turned with slow, proud
mconcern and her face
Such lovely face il was, tinted like a
shell; delicate, clcar-cut features: soft,
large eyes. darkly gray containing look
of frightened, pleading sadness in their
sweet depths; a daintily chiseled nose, and
a mouth of exquisite beauty, but touched
like her eyes, with suspicion of grave
melancholy.
"Ianther' said the man, in low, caress-
ing tones: have / slnnef beyond hope of
pardon? WIN you not even speak to me,
child. II was natural sin. little one; a
sin for which, looking at you now, can
feel no regret"
! He smiled indulgently-a rarely-pleasant
1 smile. too--and advanced so close to her
that the autumn wirtl seized some Of her
long golden hair, and tossed it against his
handsome face, in spOrlive mockery.
She stood silently and shyly before him,
pulling dead shreds from the cldmberng
Zines, and making pretty picture for the
eyes OF Paul Waring TO smile down upon,
but he dill not attempt to touch her-a
proud incline of her head forbade that.
"Ianthe," he repeated sternly, ''You
must speak to me. We shall be neighbors
all our lives now. DO you think will let
you pass me by like this. Look at me,
Ianthe Let me be your friend, your faith
er; forget that kiss which could not re-
sist, and let us be friends as we haye been
little girl"
SloNly she lifted her beautiful, shy eyes
to the face OF this handsome, wealthy aris
tocrat-the mister of Graymound, and hel
widowed mothers landlord, with a look o
passionate, repFoachful sadness,
In her ideal dreams Paul Warihg. tn,
handsome new master of that grand ole
place, had been a very god among men
with his chivalrous ways, deep intelligence
and magnificent beauty; now PeIhap
her idol and faiien, perhaps she despise'
HIM.
why 10 you speak to me after thatg
sie asked slowly, regarding Him with prou'
yet shrinking eyes-the memory of tina
stolen kiss makes them very shy, "Wha
have ever done to YOU, to invite your in
suit? Go back to those naughty ladies a
your home, 20 whom You would not one
Insult! You Have no right with me, an

TIE DkY BEFoRa CHRISTMAS.
+. II. WEIGH.

Twas the day before Christmas and out on the
street .- .. ...7..
1 Was an incesSant tramIang and stamping of feet
As,io and fro brlskly mankind moved about,
And from the gay markets came throngs pour
out
| In the air was perfume of holiday spice;
4 On the walk was coating of hard. gleamy ice;
The glad music of sleigh bells rang out sweet and
clear.
Aud tic world seemed repletewith Christmas
tide chceR
fnrlfe midst of the hustle, with hands and arms
fll
And Juggling behind him a load hard to pull,
Went sureing and putting, with good-naturcd
| air
A jolly old gentleman with snowy-whltc hafr.
His appearance suggested n familiar saint;
| Though his gaf1 and his manner were not quite
asquairt
sun, what with his bundles and his many gew
gawS,
lie strongly resembled dear old s;t.ita Ciat,s.
Alas that Disaster should plume her darl;
Alacl! that so certain is Troubles sharp sting.
When poor trusting mortal most upright would
etand,
On his back, in the struggle, he's likely TO land
Thus ii was with my hcrN the jolly cid gent,
As slowly and cautiCll>,y onward he vert;
In an unguardcd moment he lost his Grn grip,
On the smooth icy pavement his foot made Il
slip. .....
In frantic cndcay6r to upright rcman,
lie threw down his parcels bHt all was in vain;
On his load just behind, with Il great crushing
noise.
Then about him soon gathered n curious thrOng,
Pressing eagerly forward to see what WAS wrong;
Some laughed at his mishap, some viewed with
regret.
The painful misfortune with which he had met.
Rising up III hurry, he made quick grab
For his scattercdparceS, then summoned Il cab;
To the seat he soon clalnberCd, gave the driver
word,
And that was the last of my Santa Claus heard,
Yet know an old gent who has snowy white
hair,
WHO tell to the children who cling round his
char,
A laughaGle story of jolly Saint Nick,
Who fell down on his pack like thousand of
brick,
