READING FOR THE YOUNG,

Hero We arc In twilight land
Crcakety-creak.
Rocking chairs nc every hand
Sway and swing and squeak:
Here Is neither park nor street:
Bare are the little twinkle feet:
White are the gowns and loose;
No place here for ball or bat.
No need now for coat or hat
None for stocking or shoes.
What arc the stories OF twilight-landl
Hark, nh, bark!
Call the sweet names where they stand,
Waiting in the dark.
Cinderella, and little Bo Peep.
Who lost her sheep. her pretty sheep
Jack Horner. hold Boy Blue,
And the three bears living in the wood,
And the wolf that ate Red Riding Hood,
And tho spinning pussy, too.
The little children in twilight-lsnd
Are still NJ rice,
And the stoFytelles must understand
She's TO tell each story twice.
The cr!ckets chin. the stars eyes wink:
Perhaps the man In the mooa may think
Them saucy in their play;
But. whatever 10 heard or said or done,
Each sleepy, weary little one
Gets rested for next day.
For the pillow is white in tvilisht-land,
And white the bed,
And the tender loving Dother's hand
Is laid on the orowsiest head.
And list, the tune she huns and singA
A. with soft creak the rocker swings.

That great big fellow cried like .
child. and Charley cried with him. and
l might-as well own up that we all
cried. What made it more solemn was
the fact that we had corpse at tho
door. When it was known that Hale
was dead. none of the other four of US
could lift hand. How the boy got

it was awful to hear him cry out every

Every cry went through tha big fel-

or three times carried him about in his
arms rs father would his ailing babe.
There was doctor at the Forks. and
after dinner Big Ben braved the bliz-
zard and made the trip down and back.
The doctor could not be induced to re-
turn with him. owing to the cold. but
he sent some medicine. Poor Charley
was beyond human aid. however. Ho
raved through the afternoon and night.
and next morning was struck with
death. His mind came back to him at
the last, and as we stood over him he
calmly said:
Il know Tn going to die. but I'm
not afraid. I'll see father and mother
in Heaven. and perhaps Brother James
is there too"
While we all felt bad enough. Big
Ben was completely broken down. He
got down on his knees and begged
Charley to forgive him. and never
saw a man feel the bitterness Of an act
as he did.

seeing the road completed, and very few,
If auv, arc opposed to extending the
time within which the line may be built

would be better for the road TO come

road by this route would make a direct
communication Nth the Lynchburg and

give Danyille another line 10 Lynch

Under all the circumstances it seems
probable that Danyille will say to the
