He interrupted his own thoughts alb.
ruptly. The paper-knife snapped in his
hands, and he dropped the fragments
with soft gesture of his opened hands,
and drew one long breath. Then he
rose, saying with a new gravity that she

Her eyes had been fixed on the floor.
Now she lifted up her head, but it had
grown suddenly so dark that he could
only see the motion, not the look she
sent toward him.
"ls that what you truly think, you
truly feel2" she asked at last with note
in her voice which he never remembered
to have heard there before. 1t stirred
his pulses and he wondered duly what it
meant.
He assented silently. The exhllira.
ton with which he had entered the
house, the courage with which he had
begun the discussion, had all evapora-
ted. He felt tired; he was conscious of
the night, of the burden of his years and
of the deadly soberness of life.

THE CHAR NJ.

The strongest may not have most power;
Fate's fsvorite strikes not best his hour:
The wisest may not see most clear;
Most beauty is not in the fair;
Sweet voice makes not most melody;
Who travels may not widest see;
Whom most see is not known the best.
Who hardest works may do the least;
Painter and poet cannot reach
Ths charm--it passes tint AMI speech.
There is a something in the air
Stronger than strength, than grac. more
fair. --
Wiser than wit, wider than space,
More candid than a lovers face.
More musical than melody,
More real than the things we see,
More cheering than earth's rarest VIM.
