course with great success. and later the
Harvard. whcse ne graduated IN 1918.
and three years later took the degree or
PAD. he entered the Harvard Law
school. from which he was graduated IN
1879. and immediately eon>saenced the
pzacIlce of Law in Boston. BeGween tie
time of Mr.. Grants admission - the fsU
and 1885 81, a period Of some seven year,
he achieved a class of literary work
unique IN rs range, delicate aud subtle
Ia fancy. fun u charm and imaginative
grace. This work included seven novels,
and a number Of very clever poems;
bat eac. was 50 individual in its own
line and owed 20 little 10 precedent that
his work cannot be altogether classified
by any broadly accepted definitions
"rhe Little Tin Gods on Wheels, a
satire in verse, appeared in 1879, and Ia
u Mr. Grant showed decidedly his orig
inal bent. his manly hatred OF social
shams. his courage in ranging himself
on the side Of truth and humanity, and
his clearness of vision in distinguishing
the false from the true. After this ap-
peared The Confessions of Frivolous
Girl" which went through a number Of
editions and was literary as well as a
popular success. The plot was very
slight, but on this slender thread was
hung the hopes and fears, the fancies
and the objections. the courage and the
cowsrdice of typical girl of society.
The delicacy of perception shown by
Mr.. Grant in this work has never, it
seems to me, been adequately recognized.
He does not make the mistake-a not
uncommon one - of ascribinc TO the
beauty and the belle the possession of all
the vices or errors of the decalogue, and
implying conversely that the poor and
the plain girl possesses all the virtues
He knows society in its technical sense
too truly for that.

ble to the petted child of luxury, but she
has tender heart and a keen conscience,
and, moreover, she is by no means desti-
tute of brains. Another very excellent
portrait of the girl in social high life is
Dorothy in 1.-The Average Man." story
that Mr.. Grant contributed as a serial
to The Century Magazine in 1888. Un-
trained writers, destitute Of social ex-
perience, have often depicted fashion

Of character which we are accustomed to
call the Christian virtues. All the rich

hypocritical, arrogant and cruel, while
the poor were shown TO be generous,
patient and intelligent Mr. Grant is
too much in touch with the most culti-
waited social world of the day 10 fall into
any such error as this.

Grants very charming novels Of social
life.
The Kings Men was a story written
by yr Grant in collaboration with
three Of his friends. leading Boston

ANNIHILATING A RAT.
Every Boy Struck at the Rodent and Hit
Every Thing Else.

Every Boy Struck at the Rodent and Hit
Every Thing Else.
Two or three mornings ago boy
brought out rat in a trap on the
asphalt pavement of Cass avenue. A
terrier dog was leaping and dancing
around him, and before he reached tho
middle of the street a dozen men and
boys and two or three more dogs had
stopped to see the fun. The boy looked
as if he knew enough to manage rat,
but there is alwaysa boss for every such
occasion. In this case it was a short,
fat man with a very big cane, and he
took the trap from the boy and said
These things must be managed right
or away goes the rat Now then, every
body get stick or club or something,
and call up them dogs"
Every body armed himself and cir
Gle was formed, while no less than five
dogs were inclosed. The man held the
trap up, looked around to see if every
thing was all right, and said:
"Now, then, the rat will turned loose
on the community"
So he was, and there was rush of
mon, boys and dogs. Every body struck
at the rat and hit every thing else,
while the dogs made ono grab for him
and then punched together in fight.
Three hats were knocked off, two boys
sat down on the pavement to howl, and
the rat lodged about and ran under the
side walk. When he had gone the fat
man stood putting, broken cane in his
hand and his hat on the ground, and
finally managed to say:
"H-ang it! You-you fellows don't
know 'nuff to pound sand!''
"You are liar!" yelled four or five
voices in chorus, and after every body
had spit on his hands and said he could
knock every body else's head off the
convention broke up and left the empty
trap in the middle of the street.-De-

And swift the upland way retracing
Loves subtle vision am chasing.
All, surely they are minded,
Who say that Fortunes eyes are blinded
For brighter glance, or look more speaking,
Will never answer any seeking.
And in the radiant August weather,
We two walk down the path together,
And give no heed to all the singing,
Along the upland pasture ringing.
