As these words fell on MS ear, Mr..

dren standing on the steps, a chicken
held tightly under the arm of one Of

They were pretty children, too-a boy
and agirl, exactly the same size. Blonde
curls crowned each shining head; brown
eyes, with long, curling lashes, looked
frankly out from under straight, clear
cut eyebrows, and two little pug noses
turned up merrily from the little rosy
mouths that were always smiling be-
meath. No, not always; for there was a
frightened little culver about them now,

the stern. handsome man who was so
earnestly regarding them.

Swinging in the Grapevine SwIr

When was boy on the old plantation,
Down by the deep bayou,
The faIrest spot OF all creation.
Under the arching blue;
When the wind came over the cotton and orn.
To the long, sii,n loop I'd spring.
With brown feet bare and hat-brim torn,
And swing IN the grapevine swing;
Swinging in the grapevine swing,
Laughing where the wild birds sing.
j dream and sigh
For the days gone by.
Swinging in the grapevine swing
Back TO the muss-grown trees:
shouted and laughed with heart as light
As wild rose tossed by the breeze.
The mocking- bird joined in my reckless glee.
! longed for no angels wing:

From the world to-day.
Swinging IN the grapevine swing.
