swer.
"Thcn I'll never marry Dora would
say, and the dispute would end with a
kiss.
This was before Jasper Planter came like
a dark shadow over her life. Well he
would not think of that at this time. She
was safe from his influence now, for a
time at least. He had urged her to the
country on the pretense that she needed
vacation. Before she returned he must
consider this threatening cloud must get
rid OF Plante, by some device.
How slow the moon was in rising to-
night. Pshawi He would not wait for
the last moment. lie would go inside
now and read Doras letter. As he left
the house that evening the postman had
delivered it, and he had promised himself
his walk. But before he reached the Cliff
House his resolution failed him, and he
decided not to wait for his return.
The moon was not quite visible yet,
but the revery was ended. He would
wait no longer. He grasped the missive
tightly as he arose from the table, leav-
ing the filled glass still untouched, and
walked with a light step into the recep-
tion room.
1t was brief enough, the letter. You
could have seen that had you been near
enough to the old man. Only two small
pages of writing; yet it took him many
moments to read it all. He sat so still
and gazed so intently at the paper that
others in the room thought him asleep.
But, no; his eyes were open. How he
stared He held the letter in front of
him, but you could see he was not read
ing it-only staring. How very pale the
face now! The hands and limbs quake.
Might air too mnch for old party, "

NOEA HOPPER


She hath wo ven garland all of the sighin
sedge.
And all her flowers are snowdrops grown on
winters edge:
The golden looms of Tir ma n'Og wove all the
winter through
Her gown of mist and raindrops shot with a
cloudy blue.
Sunlight she holds in one hand, and rain she
scatters after,
And through the rainy twilight we hear her
ftul laughter
She shakes down on her flowers the snow less
white than they;
Then quickens with her kisses the folded knots
o. May.
She seeks the summer lover that never shall be
hers,
Fain for gold leaves of autumn she passes by
the furze.
Though buried gold it hdeuh; she scorns her
sedgy crown,
And pressing blindly sunwa,rds she treads her
snowdrops down,
Her gifts are all fardel of weyward smiles
and tears,
Yet hope she also holdeth, thtis daughter of the
years.
A hope that blossoms family set upon sorrows
edge;
She hath woven garland all of the sighing
sedge.
