 In the churchyard paused to rest. Happy maid and lover,
 Dreaming the old dream over. The light winds wandered by, And robins chirped from the nest. And, To, in the meadow sweet Was the grave of a little child, With a crumbling stone at the feet And the ivy running wild, Tangled ivy and clover
 Folding 1t over and over. Close to my sweetheart's feet
 Was the little mound up piled. Stricken with nameless fears
 Sho shrank and clung to me, And her eyes were filed with tears For sorrow did not see. Lightly the winds were blowing, Softly lNs. tears were flowing, Tears for the unknown year
 And a sorrow that was to be.

LEWIS BRANDT'S WIFE.
He Admits Her Charges of Brutal Lam
guage and Adds More in His
Answer.

Lewis Brandt, the father of Noah Brandt,
the musician, has filed an answer to the
suit of his young wife for divorce. His
answer is a spicy document, replete with
caustic comments upon the wife who
wishes to be separated from him. He is
So years of age and he says he believes his
wife married him for his money.
Brandt married his wife but short time
ago, he says for certain So 900 which she
thought he had but which he AYERS he has
not even the shadow. He proceeds then to
say that Clara, his wife, is false, deceitful and
is sneak, He charges falsehpod and de-
ceit because she married man of So years
only because she wanted to share his es-
tate. She is not, he says. a fit and proper
person for. him or any decent person to
live with. He has ordered her from his
house, he SAYS and he has promised to pay
her q servants wages since their marriage,
more, he adds, than she is worth. He adj
mits all the allegations of unseemly Ian
guage made in her complaint, and adds
little more to it in his answer.
