81 don't care what yousay, 1 am not
trying to take Harry from you"
The above was spoken by Freda
Leigh, a tall, graceful girl of eighteen
summers.
Freda is not a beauty, but she Is so
kind and gentle, that. everyone loves
her, but Ethel Ray a beautiful girl,
who is two years older than Freda,
and is in love with Harry Morris, a
rich and handsome young nan who
has been paying his addresses to Ethel
for sometime. She thinks he will offer
himself soon, or at least she did think
so until she sees he is becoming inter
ested in Freda, and then she becomes
jealous of her innocent rival. They are
at Cedar Grove" at a picnic and
Freda has slipped away from the
crowd to enjoy an hour in quiet
thought. But she is not to have this
pleasure for she is followed by two
persons. One is Ethel and the other
Harry. The former thinks she is going
off to meet Harry, who is not to be
seen at that moment, and she resolves
that he shall not meet Freda alone;
that she will also be present, and Harry
has been watching for a chance to
spend an hour with Freda alone. When
Ethel reaches Freda she accuses her Of
coming there to meet Harry and
abuses her in a general manner.
Little does she think as she stands
scolding her rival that anyone else is
present, but alasl Harry is listening
and when she ceases talking he steps
before her and speaks in a s~cornful
voice. Ethel, the accusation you
have broughtagainst Miss Leighis quite
false, as false as you are. 1 never have
loved you and have been waiting for a
good chance to tell you so, and now it
has come. never wish to see you
again, go!" Ethel turned deathly pale;
gave him n heartbroken look and
walked away. Harry then turned his
face full of love to Freda and spoke in a
low voice. 'Freda, my darling I love
you, will you be mine7" Her answer
was a low murmured Eyes, "as he clasp

RECIPE FOR HOARHOUND CANDY

A good hoarhound candy may be
made at home in the following way:
Boil two ounces of dried hoarhound,
which can be procured at the druggists,
in a pint and a half of water until it's
flavor is extracted-that is, for about
80 minutes. Strain until perfectly clear.
Add to it three and a half pounds of
brown sugar and boil over a quick
fire until the syrup will harden, when
a little of it is dropped in cold water.
Pour into a buttered tin and cut in
squares when it is partly cooled.

4 He came with a blaze Of splendor
Just as the day was done,
Tingeing the clouds with a golden light
Above the setting sun; as$y i,
Deep'ning the hills dim purple,
Bright'ning the dark blue sea-,
Painting the sky with the wondrous hues
OF the glory that is to be. !,
Making the winds obey his call,
And sweep thro the heavenly strings
OF the harp invisible reaching down
From God to created things:
The harp that thrills to the weakest sigh,
& Or the throb of the little child.
Throbbing with Joy to the whispered
prayer
Or the praise Of the undefled.
He came With the rushing Of snow-white
wings,
With the glimmer Of golden light,
And lit up the son1bre hues of earth
With glory unearthly bright;
He spoke to the weary, the sorrowful
ones,
And promised them peace and rest;
d. He lulled the dying to drea mless sleep
~ On the snow OF his angel breast.
And the suffering turned and blessed
him,
Forgetting their life of pain;
The fainting by him We're strengthened,
The hopeless took heart again;
BY the pure in spirit he fingered
And smiled in their dreamy eyes,
And straightway they saw the streets of
gold,
The glories of paradise.
He gazed in the stained windows
OF chapel and ivied tower;
He brought the blessing Of Heaven
To hallow the vesper hour;
He touched the brow Of a maiden
AS she knelt at the holy shrine,
And her glad blue eyes saw the golden
:" gates
OF the land Of his home divine.
He bent DER the little children,
AS they knelt at their mothers knee,
And their faces shone with the Wondrous
OF the Savior of Gali1ee;
Ger the cottage and ruined castle.
lie swept IN MS fadlaTt HlgnL,
He filed the world with beauty
In the power of his heavenly might.
But not long could his presence linger,
Already the choir above
Were calling him home in their evensong
To the realm OF peace and love!
Shaking the shining wings, he bade
Farewell to the changing sky,
Drawing back to himself the hues
That On earth were loath to die.
Soon the world grew sad and silent
In its twilight robe of grey
For the Angel Of the Sunset
Had flown from it away!
But one heart prayed on joy-laden,
All her soul within her eyes,
For her spirit saw the splendor
OF his home in paradise.
And when day his slow departure
Takes for lands beyond the sea,
Gazing westward, she stands watching
For the glory yet to be!
For the hour when angel pinions,
Breaking through the sunsets bars,
On their shield Of snow shall bear her
To the land beyond the stars.
