would have been the winner had they not lost their
last game with the Paterson Club, while In section II
the Brookyns finished the regular schedule tied with

A. MESS AGE

I sent It forth my message far and wide.
Over the hills, where western sunsets shine,
And over sandy plains and murmuring seas
OF southland pine.
It spoke to happy friends Of happy days,
0f dear spring days ere yet our hills grow
brown.
Ere yet our ships so gayly sent to sea,
In storms go down.
But now, tonight, as bright the freight
Shines
I speak to those who never saw my face.
To newer friends, in crowded city streets
Or lonely place.
Who know me only as bird that sings
The song he must. at earliest peep of dawn,
Often like one with poor brown bosom
pressed
Against thorn.
II but one note has sounded true and clear,
II one sad heart has happier grown through
me-
If, in the dark, deaf ears have learned to
Blind eyes to see,
Dear friends not vainly have my songs been
sung,
Not vainly do sing this song anew,
The one heart-song, erewhile for older
friends,
Now sung for you.
Thank God, as do by your lonely fires,
For hearts once filed and lips once salts
fed,
With plying thought for all those sadder
souls
So long denied,
Who passing down LIES bitter weary road,
Find only stones in place of daily bread,
Whose lips have gone unkissed, whose hun
CRY hearts
Were never fed.
The freight fades, the glowing embers fall,
The muffied footsteps pass and die away,
The streets are silent, and afar the fields
Lie bleak and gray
As gray as all my after days shall be;
Yet hear the gospel of my faith confessed,
say it softly, say it you with me;
''Yet Love is best"

CONQUERED.

$50 you're really happy, Fan2" said
Mr.. Avenant.
"Oh, Richard" frankly spoke the
bride, ~ never was so happy in my
life!'
Richard Avenant was a handsome,
middle-aged man whose wavy, jet-black
hair was slightly streaked with silver.
His wife was a delicate, hower-like
woman of thirty odd, with appealing blue
eyes and Dresden china complexion;
and they were driving up the stately
cedar avenue that led to the old manor
house, in the dusk of snowy November
twilight, on their return from the we'd
ding trip.
"That isn't much of a testimony to
your first husband, FAM" said Avenant,
laughing.
ooh, but things are so different, Rich
ard!' pleaded Fanny. ''Mr. Dalton
was so much older than 1, and he was
such stern, silent man. To tell the
truth, 1 was always little afraid of
him."
II see," gravcly observed Avenant.
"To inspire you with awe, I must be
stern and silent"
Fanny smiled, and nestled her little
gray-gloved hand softly into his.

thing that troubles me. The children"
"My children, do you mean2"
eyes, yours. Will they be pleased
with my invasion of the house,"
Mr.. Avenant shrugged his shoulders.
'That's a question which I haven't
asked myself" said he. 81 marry to
please myself, not to suit Tom or Rita,
or even little Juliet"
ooh, but, Richard, this is dreadfully
hard on them?"
Il fail to perceive it in that light, :"
said Avenant, quietly. THE children
have run wild in the last three years; my
home has been neglected. If ever
household needs head, mine does"
81 do so hope they will like mel"
murmured the bride.
"By-the-way, Fan, when is your little
girl to come to the manor house2" asked
Avenant
IL thought she had better remain
at school until am little settled in my
new home, said Fanny, timidly. ''She
is under excellent supervision there,
and
81 dare say" interrupted Avenant.
"But your home is her home hence
forward, Fan. Always remember that.
And the sooner she joins her new
brother and sisters the better"
While the sleigh was crunching over
the hard -frozen snow, and the bells
jingliug softly in the bitter air, the
three young AveDants in the school
room at the manor house were sitting in
solemn conclave on the subject of the
new mamma, whom they never had SEEN
Tom, 4 sullen, black browed young fell
