Hughes, each one. Hugh finished his

was regarding Jack with apparent in

Jacks face was Frightening more and
more, every word he read of his dainty,
scented little message. He was a hand
some fellow then. His head was crowned
with wavy, golden hair; he wore no
beard, his eyes were large, dark brown,
and his build was almost faultless.

Hugh. Jack nodded. We smiled.
Then he turned one of the leaves nearly
upside down and kept on reading. The
next page, too, had writing up its side,
as we told by his tilting it; but that was
the end, and he exclaimed:
''Boys, l am the happest fellow in the

Through telescopes of tearsf

Upon the rising sun,
Because its radiant light

The past in vain scan;
But would wiser grow
And be indeed man.

A sad career may run,
If he alone relies
On "self" at twenty-one.

A leaf in history;
With honest hands I'll earn
The bread of industry,
And store my mind with thought
When daily tasks are done;
Thankful for lessons taught,
For l am twenty-one.

Shall wear no stain of sin;
The lesson Of the past
Is writ my heart within.
