Dearborn went across thereon, laid
his old hand on Brierly's shaggy head,
and said: my poor boy. / understand

Then he left him and went home.
1t was only about a week after that
a rumor of an anarchist meeting came
in very late one night. Rich looked
around for reporter, but it was so
late that they had all gone home.
The ION CALI man was out on a
murder, and, with curious desire to
see what Briefly could do, he sent him
to the meeting. The story he wrote
was long the talk of the town.
After that they took him off the
desk and put him on the staff as
special writer. When there was big
piece of work to be done demanding
descriptive writing, it was always
Briefly who was sent.

the worst storm we have had for years.

"Well," continued the managing ed

while Briefly regarded him steadily.

1t was early morning when he
reached the little seaport, and he
started off for the station, on the bit
of beach that was set among the
rocks like a single jewel in an iron

The battle with the wind and snow
that wild New Years morning called
out all his powers of resistance, and
when he reached the station and told
the man in charge his errand, he was
almost jolly!
He was armed with a permit from
the chief of the service, and the brave,
honest fellows soon made him at

"Well, old man, who's John?"
'My brother" said Briefly.
And then he began to tell his story
and he never stopped until he had tolc
it all, and even then he did not say
great deal. 1t was the shortest, sad
dest history Dearborn had ever listened
to. Here it is:

The snow had stopped falling. It

We see the Old Years sad, accusing ghost,
Laden with treasures we have lost:
The wasted hours, the deeds unwrought
The idle word and thought.
The waiting good wherein we weakly failed,
Sharp tests Of life, where strength or courage
quailed;
The gracious toil.we might have shared
The lost for whom we might have cared
Sweet Heaven, how can we brook
The Old Years ghostly look?
All, let us gaze no more
On loss and failure that have gone before;
The future still hath space for truer life,
For generous deeds and noble strife;
The soul that cannot rise with wings
May climb to higher things.
And Thou. Almighty One in whom we trust,
Who still rememberest we are but dust,
Whose mercies all our sins outlast,
Lift from our hearts the heavy past,
That we may go with cheer
