Florence" said Willis. with deep
conviction. ~ am so far from being
angry that think would like to kiss
you"
He came over to where she was stand
ing, and for the first time during the
interview she saw his face clear in the
moonlight. 1t must have shone with
happiness, for he had wild desire to
dance war dance then and there, and
the silly words of negro jubilee song
kept repeating themselvesover and over
in his brain. She put mp her lips and
he kissed her gravely. She detained
him and looked searchingly into his
face with her hand on his arm.
80 my story was yours. also. Willis. :"
she said presently.
YES. Florence"
sand is she good and noble?"
Eyes
Then, Willis. am perfectly happy"
Then she left him standing there and
went in. He tried TO see how far he
could throw his cigar stump He would
have liked to hang over the balcony by
his legs, as he did when he was boy.
But he managed to restrain himself
and went TO the supper room, where he
astonished an elderly dowager by in
sisting on helping her to all manner
and kinds of provisions, returning the
most incoherent and unintelligible re-
plies to her frightened and feeble pro-
testations.
Late in the afternoon of the next day
a dust-bedraggled ngure came up the
gravel walk toward the house where
Helen Gray lived He spied that young
lady seated under the elm tree as he
came up, and came quickly across the
grass to her.
''Helenr' he cried
She drew back quickly with gesture
of protest.
Willis" she exclaimed, 81 told you
VIC must never see each other again.
Why. why have you come back?'
For the best OF reasons. Helen, am
free
Free. How. Willis?"
There was the light of a dawning
hope on her face, but she stin main
tanned her attitude of protest. Willis
told his story simply
And now" he said, as he finished;
''now, Helen, will you take me, reject
ed as / am?"
Are you not afraid to go into bon
dage again, now that you are free?"
Il am bound already, by my love for
you"
She dropped her head contentedly on
his shoulder.
And | also am bound" she said.-J.
I. Newcomb, in Boston Globe.

ANCIENT PLAQUES.
Some Of the Awful Valuations of Boo
caccio's Time.

Some Of the Awful Valuations of Boo
caccio's Time.
From the great beginning of the NOR
tally of 134s TO the early years of the
fifteenth century, the chroniclers reg
lister no less than six such epidernics,
though some were of comparatively
minor deadliness. BY consulting the
books of death preserved II, the archives
of the Grascia, it is possible to ascer-
tain that from the 1st of day TO the 18th
of September 1900, there occurred no less
than ten thousand nine hundred and
eight deaths. of which the greater part
Were children.
OF the plague of 13is, besides the
classical and splendid description Of
BoccacciO, we can discover vivid and
sad records amid the family chronicles
in the diaries and memoranda CT the
day. It must have been despairing
and awe-inspiring sight. Giovanni
Morelli tells us how in one hour a friend
or neighbor was laughing and joking,
and the next he was dead. People fell
down dead in the streets and at their
benches; fell down dead when alone,
without the help or comfort of human
being.
Many went mad and tn rev them
selves into the wells or the Arno. or
from out their windows driven to this
by great sorrow, or panic. or fear.
Many and many died unseen. many
We're buried before the breath had left
their bodies. One might see the cross
bearing priests who had gone TO fetch
corpse take mp two or three on their
way TO the church. It is calculated that
in Florence alone two-thirds OF the
population died-that is, eighteen thou
sand persons.
OF the epidemic Of 400 detailed de-
scription is given in d letter Of Ser Lapo
Mazzei: Here shops are hardly open
any more; the masters are not al their
desks; the police, the justice is without
superiors- No one weeps for the dead"
1t was an awful visitation, children
died, friends, neighbors and relations
fell victims; there was no longer any
means of recording even The names Of
the dead.-Blackwood's Magazine

MEMoRY'S FACE.

They had not met for forty years,
And they looked each other DER
To find one trace OF the merry race
That the childhood playmate wore:
The golden hair was streaked with gray,
The laughing lip firm set,
The eye was dull. the form grown full:
How changed, they said, land yet
They had not net for forty years,
And they looked each Other DER.
There was scarcely trace Of the merry face
That the childhood playmate wore:
The check was brown and thin ana old
That used 20 be so sweet,
And they did not know in the step SO SLOW
Tie tread OF the boyish feet
eve have not met for forty years."
They said; SIS it you and /.
II we cannot trace in the olden face
a bit Of the long goneby"
And the answer came: you remember the
time
When the stovepipc tunbled down,
When we played nispy, when YOU and
Rolled hoop through the midst OF the town:
"You remember the orchard with 'sunncr
sweets
And the hatfuIs we used to shake.
You reInem per- 'Oh, yes, it is you, old
Ches,
II is you and there's no mistake"
"Ah! the lip, and the cheek ana the eye may
change,
And the hair grow white and thin.
But the forty years cannot make Us strange,
We are ourselves within
eyes, the eye OF the soul can Keep its light
And the voice OF the heart can sing
The same cid song, as sweet and strong
AS in youth " Then let us bring
Our store from the childish, changeless past
TIL rneIrory's face shall flame
With the ruddy glow Of the long ago,
For our souls arc just the same

MY KINGDOM.

Very likely if you saw me
As SIT alone tonight
In the shabby little study
Where always go TO write
You would think me unastractive
Plain OF figure, plain OF face;
Just common little woman.
Hardly one redeening grace.
And you'd never know-how could you!
With your careless, stranger eyes
You would never guess-how should you?
I'm princess liz disguise.
Though my realm is not country,
And / wear no golden crown
Though have no serfS nor vassals
And am uot Of great renown,
Yet lay right IS undisputed-
Unconditional ny sway
Will tell you how / know It,
How twas proved this very dag.
Some one watched q chance 10 kiss me-.
Scarcely one short hour ago;
Some one held me proudly, tightly,
And was 10th TO let me go;
Some one thinks me very clever,
Thinks ne just exactly right,
And would love 70 be beside me
AS sit alone tonight.
Some one made NE once princess,
And, lest should doubt r,y part,
Should dispute my lawful title.
Gave me for my realIl-s heart!
OF ny fancy flies unhtnderec,
Far across the Painless sea,
Where the queen OF England reignio6,
Never oven heard OF me.
And 1 wonder il she gueSses
BOW much richer is queen
Reigning here in humble cottage,
Never heard OF. seldom seen,
Than Is She who dwells II castles
Nations kneeiiug al her feet,
But no one to lingar BY her
Just TO tell her she Is SWEET
Many nights I'll sit alone here
Ere the tale OF life Is done:
Many times from yo1der window
Watch. apart, The setting SUM
But never shall be lonely.
And l never shall be sad:
Never more be discoItented,
Never anything but glad
That ], q just plasn-.aced wonA1,
In ny quiet little nest,
For It's so wo1 ny Kingdom,
And It's SO I'll held it best.
