Parted at the Threshold.

"How can l bear to leave theeP"
whispered Reginald, as he stood in the
semi-darkness of the hallway, while
Mabel's nut-brown curls nestled close
against his chest-prOtector.
Twas Il critical moment. The night
stick of the policeman fell with dull
and sickening thud on tie sidewalk
half block away, and the love plant
of a sad-eyed cat on the back fence
broke the dreamy quiet of the night.
But these sounds fell upon unheeding
ears. These two ardent souls were
aware that the parting hour was at
hand. Soon, D cruel fate! Mabel knew
that the front door must open and
close, and for brief space the echo OF
footsteps would linger on the air and
then-O misery! he would be gone and
nothing remain but the memory of his
loving words and the scent of his
cigarette-laden breath. And so she
clasped him close with her frail hand
and twined the end of his long. newly
waxed mustache around the index
finger of her right hand. Then, with
the heroism and desperation. she tore
herself from his manly and well-tlevel-
Oped arms, and, while her egg-like
! chin quivered and the glorious light
of her hazel eyes was drowned in tears,
she stammered:
"Why must you leave me, darlingP
It's only I1:3O. Mamma has gone to
bed and listen, love, papa's breathing
can be distinctly heard"
Reg listened with his hand over his
heart To stay iCs wild beating. and a
peculiar sound like the grating OF

prospective father-in-law had invaded
the delectable land of Nod at least
mile, and the hope of another half
hour on the tete-a-tete awakened
burning ardor in his love-stricken
heart. But then, o baleful fate! he re-
membcred that Farmer Jones was to
deliver forty barrels of ruLabaga tur-
nips at the grocery at 5 O'Clock in the
morning, and that he would have to
be there TO stow them safe away in the
cellar of the grocery.
While this hideOus rutabaga specter
confronted him Reg was feeling IN his
vest pocket to see if he had lucifer
match with which to ignite the halt
burned cigar which he had left snugly
stored away in IL corner of the brow IL
| stone steps when he came in. While
love and delight called him one way
and duty and rutabagas the other
there was "A rustic of trailing garments
ut the head of the stairway, and
feminine voice, in strident whisper,
said:
Mabel!
/, Yes, ma"
/, |, Has Mrs. Westinghouse little boy
gone home yetI'
The front door opened and closee

ration Reg forgot his cigar. As n

hissed between his clenched teeth:

A Puzzle.

Old Natha an was out in the garden
One beautiful flOwer-swcct day,
When Dorothy. golden-haired maiden,
Came pensively wand ring that way,
And isn't this very fine weather?
/ never saw finer" said he.
But she made reply: "Why, I think it
cherries morn as could be-"
"As cheerlessr repeated old Nathan,
Half in doubt il he'd heard her Alright
Then he muttered "She's daft" for he knew
not
She had quarreled with Robert last night
The day was departing; its sunshine
Had vanished the wind whistled shrill:
The birds hurried home to their nestlings,
And the air grew quite heavy and chill,
The gardener hastened to shelter
His tender young plants, when again
Dolly passed him-this time with light foot
steps
And she called in the merriest strain:
20, isn't the weather just lovely?'
While her face fairly shone through the
mist
"Shes daft," snid old Nathan. He knew not
The lover had met and kissed.
