Bent close to the cheek like q rose fresh

Aud the ardent gaze OF the youthful swain
Sought the downcast orbs clsse beside his
own
I" II you love me''-stroye the falt'ring tongue
So vaInly to tell what the heart held dear.
And the flush rose high on the boyisb brow
Ger the ripe red lips SO inviting near.
f" II you love me'-then the pleading tones
Gained strength as the youth more cour-
ageous grew,
And the small brown hands nesting in his
own
Lay impassive there. rs ne nearer drew
Z" As love you'-ah. the magic tale
That's been always new since the world
was young,
And repeated DER and DER again
NJ The wide world around and In every tongue
" No knife can cut'-that was easy, quite,
Twas the op'ning words that were hard u
say;
And a gallant air rested on the boy
AS he closed his plea in u reckless way

And stolen kiss promptly senled the vow
All, sweet was the tale IN tho long ngo.
And sweet Is the ling ring memory now.

"Islamed IL he amt neat,~ he said.
But interest faded from his eye, and
he turned again to the wall. "'L,ieb

melodiously observed. His reportory
was wide and refined. When he sang
he was always grammatical.
"Ye kin stop, kid" said the old gen.

his pistol into his belt.
The boy ceased. He had been think.

strong, he was not tired nor much out
Of breath, but he was trembling with
the plan and the prospect he had laid
out for himself. "Set 'em up" he said
to Ephraim. "Set 'em up again all
around" Il.
His voice caused Specimen Jones to
turn and look once more, while the old
gentleman, still benevolent, said:
eyer langwidge means pleasanter
than it sounds, kid" He glanced at
the boys holster, and knew he need
not keep very sharp watch as to that.
It's owner had bungled over it once al
ready. All the old gentleman did was
to place himself next the boy on the
off side from the holster; any move the
tenderfoot's hand might make for ID
would be green and unskillful
and easily anticipated. The company
lined up along the bar, and the bottle
slid from glass to glass. The boy and
his tormentor stood together in the
middle of the line, and the tormentor,
always with half thought for the
holster, handled his drink on the wet
counter, waiting till all should be filled
and ready to swallow simultaneously,
as BELTS good manners.
"Well, my regards" he said, seeing
the boy raise his glass; and as the old
gentleman's arm lifted in unison, ex-
posing his waist, the boy reached down
