And told the things about the sea she long

OF stately slips,
For the cross that burns resplendent in far

And the wind that bears sweet fragrance to

night upon the shore,
And he COOS unto the baby to still its sleepy
cries,
And wishes he was back again on his ships

For that dainty vision yonder, in its robe of

that his long-lost brother Bill finally
stood before him. He got white and

got up and embraced me and says:

who are in the secret recall with much

which certainly no bride ever wore be-

Her wedding present from her old

from Paris. 1t came just as the we'd

That is beautiful bag, and so
odd. Il never saw bag like it. The
material is beautiful" commented
some of her friends.
Il suppose the style is new" replied
Mrs. Gregg. "Dr. Jameson brought
it to me from Paris. l am delighted
with it"
Did you put anything in il?' asked
Dir. jameson. who had been listening
to the conversation with Il smile that

entirely of wood. Instead Of strings
the inventor uses strings of American

of the Instrument is of remarkable
