wRoNGED, OR A NOBLE
@ @ REVENGE.

To have seen John Harding and
Percy Graham together you would
never have imagined they had been
rivals for the same girls hand, and
that the latter had won her from his
friend. .@@ .1fI-t@
John Harding was only a little
more grayer in manner since he
neard that Meta Brainard. the belle
Of the camp, was TO become Percy's
wife, but those who knew him best
read the agony Of mind from which
be suffered.
II was threedays before the day
set for the wedding that Graham and
Harding set out 20 visit a rich mine
belonging TO the former.
A few days ofterward John Hard
ing returned alone. He tolda sad story.
how they had been attacked by In
dians and he had made his escape.
while Percy was carried away into
captivity. Meta did not believe the
story at all, and had even declared
before others that she believed Hard
ing had murdered her lover.
Poor Percy's claim lay neglected.
II was the cnstom when one Of our
number died 10 cast lots for hls
claim, or to divide il among US. But
over Percy's fate hung an air Of
mystery, and no one dared do aught
which would bring his death nearer
10 us. Day by day Meta's cheek
paled as she would watch from her
window in the vain hope that she
might see the straight, young form
and bright. handsome face. without
which life was to her full Of dark
ness.
Il know that he is dead" she
would say, ''and vet | look for him. "
John Harding's hair grew white
ia three weeks, and he had aged ten
years.
One day, about the same time that
Percy had waved her his goodbye"
she had gone for little walk, when,
for the first time since his dIsap-
pearance, she met John Harding
face to face.
The sun was going 10 his kingly
rest as though dyed in blood, cast
ing it, red reflection upon every
earthly object touched by It's rays.
She pointed TO il.
.See!" she said. lit is the hand VI
God denouncing Percy's murderer
Then her voice changed to a pite-
Gus vail. She clung with both
hands 10 his arm.
.l'ell me-" she implored, why
did YOU kill himP What did he do
TO you9"
For the first time since he had
been suspected BY US all, his face
softened.
"You wrong me, Meta" he said
very gently. Il told YOU only th,
truth. We were attacked by In
dians. Percy was taken prisoner

senting four reasons in its favor.
In the essay, 1.-The mission of music, "
Miss Mary P. Putney spoke of the
usefulness of sacred and martial
music and the power for good in ora

Gull sweet flowers for the darling,
Twine them round her infant brow
She is sleeping, sweetly sleeping.
And no pain disturbs her now.
Lay her gently her pillow,
Clasp hands pure and fair,
Brush back from her marble forehead
All the wandering waves of hair.
Though you weep and mourn her sadly,
She is happy up above,
There one day you'll surely meet her
In the realms of peace and love.
