He said. ssk;o one shall eSer learn
This secret that my heart mAss keep;
No matter how the words may barn.
No matter how my heart may ieap.
No one shall know love her 50.
No one shall know. no one shall knors"
But though his iips were tightly sealed,
The very birds hia secret guessed
For In his eyea Il was revealed.
And In hia face IL was confessed
II love her 50, love her 30.
But none shall know, bat none shall knowp
The wind soon found Il and ran ON
To tell Il 30 the wondering flowers
And bear IL 20 the gates Of dawn.
where ioiter all the coming hours.
That they might know he loved her 30,
That thes might know. thai they might know.
Some time ell secrets must unfold.
And soon did he q listener seek,
To whom his story might be told,
Before the laughing world shOnld speak
And tell her lif she did not know
He loved her %, he loved hsrso!

ST.. NICHOLAS.

Since 1878, when. under the editorial
management of Mrs. Mary Mapes Dodge,
the publication of st. Nicholas for Young
Folks was begun, 1t has led all magazines
for girls and boys. Nothing like it was
known bSfore, and to-day, as the Chicago
Inter-Ocean recently said, lit is the model
and ideal juvenile magazine OF the world. :"
Through its pages the greatest writer's OF
our time are speaking TO the youth or Amer
lea and England, and the best artists and
engravers are training the eyes OF the boys
and girls TO appreciate the highest in art.
Nobody knows how many readers st. Mich
olas has. In the third largest public library
i'm America that i'm Indianapolis, mere
than 5000 people read each months number.
Since the first issue Mrs. Dodge has re-
