The Cricket.

Dainty Allls, here's cricket,
Trim and nimble, brayc and bold,
Caught a.cl,irping m thicket,
Whcn,he year was growing old.
He's q patient little hummer,
Though he only knows one song;
He's been praclicing all summer,
And he never sings It wrong.
Tie wns piping under hedges.
After all the birds llad flown,
Thrilling loud from stony lodges,
Making merry all alone.
If the bearded grasses wavercd
Underneath the hghtest foot,
His sharp murmur sudden quavcrcd
Into silence at the root.
Now the cricket comes to bring you
CHEEKY thoughts in time oftrost;
And summer song he'll sing you
When the summer sunshines lost.
You'll Ike listening till you're guessing
Pleasant meanings in the sound,
May tho crickc,'s good night blessing
Bring the happy dreams around!
Many and many year hefcaf'cf
You will bear tho tame blithe tune,
For though YOU should Outlivc laughter
Crickcts still will chirp in June.
If some future summer passes
Homesick, in a foreign land,
There'll be speech among the grasses,
That your heart will understand.
As YOU listen in the wildwood
To that merry monotone,
1t will bring you back your childhood
When YOU are \ woman grown.

LOVE AND DANGER.

There was u revolt in the editorial
room Of the Hamilton Daily Herald
large room with a long table IN the
centre and half dozen desks occupied
by the different members Of the staff.
Hamilton was thriving city, but its
newspaper offices had not adopted the
metropolitan tyle of seperate rooms for
their editors.
The paper had gone 10 press and the
half dozen men were discussing the
sensation of the hour. Every one look
ed outrageously cross, and the telegraph
cditor-a very good looking and gener-
ally very pleasant faced young man-
was fierce. And all this because II
woman was to be added to the staff -
While Robert Bryant. the telegraph
editor, WAS the most outspoken, those
who remained silent seemed to be in
full accord with him.
OF course we can't smoke with
woman here grumbled the spokesman,
and it will be a perfect nuisance in
every way
There is one satisfaction for you,
Bryant, said one of the reporters She
will sit where she can see you without
turning round. OF course, as she is to
do the exchange work, she will have
Whites old desk.
Yes, but every time look up shall
have to see her. A pleasant prospect
Evidently the telegraph editor could
see no compensations in the situation.
The next morning the new member
OF the staff was escorted into the room
by the managing editor, introduced to
the occupants of the different desks and
assigned her position. Miss Margaret
Hale acknowledged the introductions
ccurteously, and Immediately applied
herself assiduously to her work. The
telegraph editor scowled as she took
her seat, but that she could not see.
She certainly was not pretty, he
thought, but then who would expect
woman editor to be pretty! She was
too slight, too pale, and he never did
like gray eyes. But at least she prom
lsed TO prove Il rather unobjectionable
sort Of person, and the telegraph edl-
tor quite magnanimously determined
to try to make the best of it.
He used to watch Miss Hale, curious
ly at first. but after while admiringly.
She worked so deftly and with such IN.
telligence of purpose and concentration
OF thought. He found she could do
what the former occupant Of the desk
failed to do-tell half. column story
in six. line item.
And AS the days went on, the 'tele-
graph editor began to wonder if the
exchange editor was not pretty, after
all. The head was gracefully poised,
and the abundant brown hair was soft
and wettily arranged. There was
charming bit OF white neck above the
linen collar, and when she turned her
head little he could zee the pure oval
of her face. One day, when bad
headache kept the exchange editor from
her desk, Robert Bryant suddenly real
lied how he should miss her were she
never to come back. He wondered
how he could ever have thought her
colorc and unintercsting.
