OUR BACK DOOR.


Just back Of the house. right under a tree,
Is box that is full OF silver sand
OF sand that was washed by saltless sea
TIL 1t rivals thARhits Of womans hand;
And out of that box OF sand arise
Such wonderful sights as never before
We're spoken OF LIP or seen Of eyes,
And all within sight Of our back door,
There's an old pie-tin, with numberless holes,
shovel a rske, and an old tin can,
A block Of wood. and oh, dear soulsi
In the midst Of these is workingman;
He is busily making pies and cakes,
Andxiigging and sitting and playing store.
The which hole in his stomach makes,
Which he brings to I'LL at our back door.
And all Of the little folk living near
Hsye heard Of this wonderful box of sand.
Sofuil OF treasures their hearts hold dear;
And In come trooping the busy band
TIL the sands have forgotten the cruel sea
And the waves that dashed the sounding
I shore
For the food OF laughter. the bubbling glee,
Ihat ripple and break by our back door,

When he looked around again Cissi,
had sat down and had drawn hel
bicycle up on its wheels, crouching II
a measure behind it, as If with 1T
spindly tires 1t could hide the awful
ness of the costume.
We'll, Ciss," cried Jack, when are
you going to get at mending that
tire?"
II ii don't know anything about

"Ah," said the young man, with a
long breath, II thought that was the
case. A woman never knows how to
do anything well except scold. Most
things in this world man can do bet
ter than a woman, and that fact never
becomes SO apparent as when woman
tricks herself out as man. Then her
general futility becomes apparent,
even to an infatuated fool like my
self"
Cissie had bent her head upon her
hands, which rested on the saddle of
her cycle. 1t was quite evident that
she was in tears, and Jack, waiting for |
a reply, smoked on in silence.
AT last he said, in gentler voice:
Look here, Cissie, if you ask me
very nicely will take off that pneu-
matte tire and mend it in five minutes

houted him and scorned him for up
wards of two years, and in despair
Jack set himself at undoing his bonds.
1t was slow and painful process, and
the bonds had habit of slipping again
into hard knots when he caught a
glimpse of Cissie, and Jack had almost
made up his mind to emigrate to some
outlandish country, for he feared he
would never be his own man again
unless very broad and extensive
ocean rolled between them. No matter
how stern his resolutions were, they
faded away to nothingness when he
met Clssle IN new, pretty and stylish
dress, for every costume she adopted
seemed to be even more fetching than |
the last. Clothes have SO much to do |
with the appearance of a pretty girl
The trouble with Jack was that he had
too much respect for women in general,
and they all knew that, and conse-
quently despised him, Cissie being the
leader in heaping contumely on poor
Hlnkston, who, after all, was very
nice sort of fellow, who did not realize
that girls as a rule are somewhat silly
and more apt to take up with shall
Drained, conceited rapscallion than
with fellow of genuine worth like
Jack Hinkston.
