SARA'S SHAWL.

Jonas Pray was born stingy. By
rich man, though he lived as plainly
as ever. and somehow about that age
the first tender feelings he had ever
known crept into his heart. He fell
in love with IA buXOm, good-tempered
young woman named Sara Wool
wich, and offered himself to her. He
was not an Unlocking man, and when
he chose could make himself agreea-
BILE. Sara liked him and accepted
him.
Jonas meant to be liberal to her at
first, but after brief honeymoon Of
happiness his old habits resumed their
sway. and at last, the second winter
of their married life coming on, Sara
found that all her remarks about her
shabby summer hat had no effect
whatever, and she might wait a long
while without having such a thing as
a comfortable cloak suggested to her.
She had been poor girl. and had no
trousseau to speak Of, and she found
it necessary to put her pride in her
pocket and ask for what she needed.
1t is hard enough for a wife to do
that, but to be refused was something
she had not calculated on.
She knew her husband had large
bank account-that there was no rea-
son why she should not dress as well
as any lady in the land But when
she had said, playfully, Jonas, shall
| buy myself some winter things, to-
day? | need shawl dreadfully.' he
had answered, Il thought you were
too sensible a woman to run after the
fashions, Sara. I'm sure you have
very decent things that you might
wear long while yet"
That shows how much men know y
Sara answered, determined to be
pleasant and not to show that she
was hurt. You wouldn't like your
wife TO look shabby, Jones?'

ally, Sara. money il so scarce just now.
Don't on think you might make what

How much longer" she asked qui-
etly.
''Oh. | don't know, said Jonas Il

when she died. who wore the same
shawl and bonnet sixteen years, and
boasted of it. too!
His wife looked at him and said
nothing.
Economy is a great thing, Sara. y"

She sat quietly with her bands fold

Her temper was rising fast, but she

we have ever done. This we expect
to accomplish by our low prices. The
lowest, mind you, on as good goods,

are exceptionally strong this season
on shirts, all the popular grades, at
right prices, from an elegant shirt for
so cents, to the finest all silk shirt.
We are handling this season a Negl-
gee shirt that has the collars and cuffs
starched while the bosom remains
soft, and making the garment both
comfortable and slightly. Come in
and see them.

LOVE BEYOND THE GRAVE.

"Shs is aead!" they said to him. Come away.
Kiss her and leave ber-thy love is clay"
They smoothed her tresses OF dark brown
hair
on her forehead of stone they laid 1t fair.
over her eyes that gazed too much
They drew the lids with a gentle touch.
With tender touch they closed up well
The sweet, pale lips that h sd secrets TO tell.
And over her bosom they crossed her hands.
"Come away" they said; "God understands >
And there was silence and nothing there
But silence and scents OF elegantere.
And jasmine and roses and rosemary,
And they said, ASA lady should lie, lies she. 4"
And they held their breath as they left the
room
With a .hudder, because OF its stiffness and
gloom.
But he who loved her too well to dread
The sweet, the stately. the beautiful dead
He lit his lamp and took the key
And turned it-alone again-he and she.
He and she. Still she did not move
To any one passionate whisper OF love.
He and sho; yet she would not smile,
Though ne called her the name she loved
erstwhile.
He and she; but she would not speak,
Though he kissed in the old place the quiet
cheek.
Then he said. Gold lips and breasts without
breath
Is there no voice, no language OF deathT
"Dumb to the ear and still to the sense.
