sprang out and let herself into the
house with her latcakey. When she
entered the room, her husband never
looked up, but she crossed to where he
sat and patted him gleefuIly on the
| back.
''Come, come, my poor infant. Cheer
up ~ she said.
Madax's only answer was groan OF
anguish.
"And so your little e2j, 900 has gone

"You told me that | would double

'Of course you believed me, and here

"Whlt do you mean by that?!" said
her husband, looking up.
"Mean? You poor child mean

LOVE UNEXPRESSED.

The sweetest notes among the human heart
strings
Are duh with rust:
The sweetest chords adjusted by the angels
Are elogged with dust;
We pipe and pipe again our dreamy music
Upon the self-same strain.
While sounds of crime and fear and desola-
ton
Come back in sad refrain
On through the world we go, an army march
ing
With listening ears,
Each longing, sighing for the heavenly music
He never hears.
Each longing, signing fora word OF comfort,
a word of tender praise,
a word OF love TO cheer the endless journey
ofesirth's hard, busy days.
They love us, and We know it; that sunices
For reasons share;
Why should they pause 10 give tha: love ex-
preston
With gentle care?
Why should they pausee But stiil our hearts
are aching
With all the gnawing pain
oh hungry love that longs 20 hear the music;
And longs and longs in vain.
We love them, and they know Il; If We fslter
With fingers numb
Among the unused strings oflove's expression
the notes are dumb.
We shrink within ourselves in voiccicss sor-
row,
Leaving the words unsaid,
And side by side with those We love dearest,
In silence on we tread.
Thus on we tread, and thus each heart in
silence
Its llte ulfills.
Waiting and hoping for the heavenly music
Beyond the distant hills.
The only difference from the love in Heaven
From love ON earth below
Is here we love and know not how 10 tell il,
And there we all shall know.

 Come here, Teckr'
 The gentlemen started, and Miss Ward hastily apologized, recollecting the name of one of her distinguished visitors.
 My little dogs name is Teck-short for Thecla. German character in one of my plays.
 They all laughed heartily, and in came the little fellow with the princely name and straightway rushed at the Duke of Edinburgh
 ''She will bite me-" exclaimed the duke.
 Basket, Tecki" cried Miss Ward re- provingly, and the little creature, with prompt obedience, ran out of her room and curled herself up in the basket. As Yer visitors were descending the stairs Miss Ward heard them laughing heart fly, and she plainly distinguished the voice of the Prince of Wales as he slapped his cousin on the shoulder and said merrily, Basket, Teckr kr'-London Tit-Bits.

----- ---- The Sketching of the Masters.

One of the wonders of collection oi drawings of the old masters is how they worked with anything that came tc hand-with crayon, chalk, charcoal, sepia, india ink or silver point They model you hand or arm or whole fig. ure from the life with as much appar. ent ease and certainty as a baker molds loaf, nor have they any care as to how they arrive at the result-a wash, a rub, scratch, does the business-the light of heaven shines in smear of chalk, and the darkness of the inferno is re- vealed in a smudge of ink.
 Probably because they served long and hard apprenticeship, had grown uI in studios and workshops, had been licked with the mahlstock and had paint pots thrown at their heads, did they acquire this easy, infallible meth cd of theirs. Not that this explains the whole of the mystery, but 1t may go part of the way.-All the Year Round

Collections are present day fad. One eccentric young woman has one of the oldest fancies, which is that of collect ing wishbones. She has vast assort- ment strung about her own room and any number of others put away in boxes. Among them are those of particularly large and particularly small birds, in- cluding one of a humming bird. There might be easily prettier ideas than this One girl, who spends much of her time abroad, is making a study of silver boxes Another buys brocades, and still another odd and beautiful lamps All these serve some after purposes of beau tifying, but the wishbones are only queer Philadelphia Press.
