THE LAST PESsIMlsT.

There was once queer little wizened man.
With burning and baleful eye.
Whose heart was sore with the hate IL held
For the lights that blaze on high.
And when at evening the sun went down.
And the planets in glory shone,
he would dance about In frenzled way
And mutter and curse and groan.
One night when his soul was q ilery thing
or hatred and discomfort
He put out star that winked at him
His passion had found vent
And night after night, as time went By,
The hour OF his rapture came;
And star after star was turned as black
AS the Goals that follow fame.
Then darker and darker grew the sky,
And madden the weird mans mood
He swallowed the glories that passed away
As hungry imp his food
Some nights his horrible fantasy
Would ruin thousand stars:
Where once had gliLtered the gems OF Hight
CAPPED nothing but bald, black scars
And ever and ever, as time went by,
His hunger for gloom increased:
He wiped the dipper from of the sky
That nigAt he had had feast
Then cnce when his soul was unsatis fed.
And he hated the thought OF day.
This madcap man In his misery
Made ink Of the milky way
And still the sun and the moon came up
Though dim at the ends of space.
While he swore the universe should not bear
One smile upon It's face.
And ever his power increased and grew
Till the moon became his prey,
And with one fell swoop he swamped the sur
And ended the Anal day.
And oil men died, save the little fend.
Who groveled in sore alright;
Then he. too, persisted, and dying cried:
"Oh, Godi Tor q ray OF light"

when Augusty has come more'n half
way so, seems as II twas the least you
could do!'
I'VE haven't spoken for so long, and
she isis in such q different set
faftered her daughter.
II would really have liked TO have
Addic Tibbetts in the tableaux," said
Augusta Parkhurst, scventcen-year-
old girl, Whose very plainness was
stylish, Addie Luella said. "She
would make beautiful Bluebeard's
wifc-with her head hung up, you
know, her hair Is so long and light;
but she isn't in our set"
II don't know how Augusta would
take it." pursued Mrs Parkhurst, med
itatively.
II should think she had shown you
how she would take it, sendin' you
cowslip greens on her mothers clover
leaf chiny," insisted grandma.
The next day the prancing bays and
the new carriage stopped at the lib
belts door. There had been some anx-
ious and angry looks cast after them,
as they passed the mill, by workmcn
who had heard that the bread was
soon to be taken from their children's
mouths; but the two occupants OF tho
carriage were quite oblivious of such
troubles. Grandma, radiant with de-
light, holding the basket containing
the precious china on her knee, and
Adeline Parkhurst, wondering wheth-
er all her acquired society manner
would enable her to be quite at her
case with poor Augusta" who had
never acquired any manner ut oil.
''They are-they are coming here,
mar cried Addie Luella, in tumult
of delight, and earnestly hoping that
everybody was looking. ''Oh, ma, ma,
won't you wait till Jenkins opens the
door" she walled.
But Augusta Tibbetts' simple soul
and kindly heart had, in an instant,
dropped into oblivion the GOODNESS and
social sights of years; she threw her

her shoulders and hurried down the
steps; nothing less than sidewalk
welcome would do for Adeline and
gran ma am.
She was a simple soul, but after all
she showed herself quick of wit; she
felt only moments perplexity about
the cowslip greens and of that she
made no sign.
81 won't tell 'em it's all mistake
about my seLdin' 'em-not till l have
to-" she said to herself. "And if can
make Lucretia Lund keep still don
know as ever will"
And it may as well be here recorded
that Mrs Tibbetts managed the affair
with such truly Machiavellian diplo-
macy that the little comedy of errors
was never discovered by the final re-
cipient of her eowslip green's
It was a delightful call Adeline
Parkhurst forgot that she had acquired
society manner, and Augusta lib
belts forgot that Addie Luella was be-
ing mortified by her bad grammar They
talked of ''far away and long ago. and
the broken friendship was cemented by
laughter and tears
Hiram Tibbetts listened in silence to
his wife's story of Adelinc Parkhurst's
visit and the renewal of the old friend
ship; she had felt little uncertain
how pa would take 1t, he was one to
hold grudge; but her delight had to
have vent

siderable of East Macedony-as do,

"And Augusta has sent me an invi-
tation to take part in the tableaux!
I'm to be Blucbeards last wife-not

rows cried Addie Luella joyously.
Her fathers rugged features re-
Elected Addie Luella's joy.
Hes felt her little Sights if he is n
man. She takes after him in thinkin'
so much of them kind of things
thought Addie Luella's mother.

Tibbetts, hussily, and n little; shame
tacedly, to his wife the next morning
tive been thinkin' that mebbe I'd
better help Enoch Parkhurst little
It's SOS can about as we'll as not
II was hopin' you would, pa" cried
Mrs Tibbetts, joyfully. ''Itain'tworth
the while to hold grudges and-mebbe
you was some to blame"
There were only a few who ever
knew how Enoch Parkhurst weathered
his financial storm; but the mills did
not close and there was no run upon
the bank; instead of those catastrophes
he seemed to be entering upon new
era of prosperity, and Potiphar City
felt renewed confidence in the sound
ness Of its rich men
And Addie Luella really was Blue
boards last wife in tho tableaux.
Being q simple soul. TO whom it is nat
ural to share her experiences, Augusta

but she has 50 far contented herself
by saying aloud when she was quite

carry me right back TO East Macedony
and the pretty smells there used to be
there in the spring of the year. Seems
as If spring hadn't n fair chance here
in Pot;phar City. Your father used to
like a mess of pork and green's
''Oh, ma, ! wish you wouldn't want
such dreadfully vulgar things!' Addie
Luella, who was sixteen, had tears of
vexation in her pretty blue eyes.
'.And l wish you could get over East
Macedonia. The Parkhursts came
from there, too, but who would think
it? They're the very first people in
Potiphar City and-and Augusta
wouldn't invite me to the Charity club
tableaux."
The reason for the little fine puck
ers that had been all day between Ad-
die Luella's brows had come out now.
Mrs. Tibbctts looked vaguely per-
picked and troubled; she dimly COM
pretended that to have mother OBJ
livious of grammar and of social aspira-
tions made life full of pin pricks for
Addie Luclla.
In Potiphar City one was nothing il
not stylish. Fifteen years before, the
city had been strip OF unreclaimed
prairie; now it was a grea. lumber
town with most of the appliances of
civilization and all the fashions
Hiram Tibbctts, coming from East
Macedonia, in Maine, did his share in
reclaiming the prairie and made for
tune in lumber. PA" was quite a
magnate of Potiphar City; but of what
use was that, demanded Addie Luella,
with tears, if ma would be so common
and old-fashioned.
IL guess you'll have to do your social
climbin' without your ma said good
Hiram Tibbetts, gazing with pride up
on his pretty daughter. PA did UNI
derstand little.
1T don't seem q mite like Adeline
Parkhurst to get so stuck up" said
Mrs. Ti5betts, refectively. when we
was girls to East Macedony, there
want nobody so intimate as Adeline
and me; and named you for her and she
named Augusty for me. Enoch Park

do, but lays her eggs in the nest Of

When the young cuckoo is Matched,
before it has feathers, or even gets it's
eyes open, it feels around to see If
there is anything else in the nest; if it
finds eggs, it manages to push them
over the side of its stoleh home. If q
young bird is there, perhaps its own
sister or brother, the naughty cuckoo
works its body under the helpless
creature, and by dint OF backing and
pushing, contrivcs TO get the poor
thing out of the nest; down 1t goes on
