Come the hours when we sit In the shadow
That falls like the droop of wing
Der the nest that Ia naked and empty
When the fedgings have learned how to sing,
Then woe is the heart for the old time,
The time that was busy and gay,
with the world and its clamor about us,
And we In the midst of the fray.
In the shadow we count up our losses;
We creep where we marched with the hest.
Oh the ache when we try to walk softly
The cry of our soul against rest
And we grieve for the golden heads vanished;
Our children are women and men.
And vistful and deep Is the yearning
To have them but children again.
And we fret DER the fruitless endeavor
The labor that satisfied not,
Till the shadow grows thicker end longer,
And the blur In our eyes is a blot
On the lingering splendor Of sunshine,
That taps with its lances of light
At the shut and barred door OF our memory,
An aftergow radiant and bright.
DO we see nothing else but our losses,
We mourning there. fools and purblind,
With the crown and the kingdom before u.s.
The conflict and turmoil behind2
Shall the harvest lament for the seed-time,
The bud he less blithe than the leaf?
Is there Joy when the pillow breaks the furrow.
And none when the hand binds the sheafP
Oh wings that are folded and dropping.
Spring wide in the evenings uplift;
Reach out to the stars that are showing
The skies In silvery rift.
No day of our days Ia so hallowed
As that when we see, just before,
The light in the house Of our Father
Shine out through his halfopen door.

STIRRING MEN

Parade the Streets of Brussels Chanting
Revolutionary Songs and Crying for
Bread.
Client went to Brussels last week, where
they were joined by hundreds of idle men
and women, and the two crowds paraded
the streets calling the attention of the peo-
pie to their miserable clothing and starving
condition. They chanted revolutionary
songs with fervOr, and no attempt was made
by the authorities to stop the parade. The
crowd marched to the Chamber of Deputies
where it was allowed to present petition
setting forth the evils suffered by the work
ingmen of the country, demanding work for
the unemployed, and that universal suffrage
be established. The men were promised
assistance in securing what they demanded
A general feeling of uneasiness prevailed
which did not wholly abate after the parade
dispersed.

CHAPTER XIV.
STILL AMONG SHOALS.

AAONS3 SdOAlS.
 Next day brought the admiral Q check for G5 ,OOO from MT. McAdam, and a stamped agreement by which he made over his pension papers to the specula- tive investor. It was not until he had signed and sent it off that the full sig nifcance of all that he had done broke upon him. He had sacrificed everything. His pension was gone. He had nothing save only what he could earn. But tr.e stout old heart never quailed. He waited eagerly for letter from the St. Lawrence Shipping company, and in the meanwhile he gave his landlord a quarters notice. Hundred pound year houses would in future be luxury which he could not aspire to. A small lodging in some inexpensive part of Lon don must be the substitute for his breezy Norwood villa. So be it thenl Better that thousandfold than that his name should be associated with failure and disgrace.
 On that morning Harold Denver was to meet the creditors of the firm and to explain the situation to them. It was a hateful task, degrading task, but he set himself to do it with quiet resolution. Athome they waited in intense anxiety tc learn the result of the meeting. It was late before he returned, haggard and pale, like man who has done and suf fered much.
