THE LAND OF "PRETTY SOON.'

know land where the streets are paved
With the things which We meant to achieve

saved.

The kind words unspoken, the promises broken
And many a coveted boon
Are slowed away there in that land some

The land of Pretty Soon"
There are uncut jewels Of possible fame
Lying about in the dust.
And many a noble and lofty aim
Covered with mold and rust.
And oh! this place. while it seems so near,
Is further away than the moon.
Though our pun pose is fair, yet we never get
there
The land of Pretty Soon"
The road that leads to that mystic land
Is strewn with pitiful wrecks,
And the ships that have sailed for its shining
strand
Bear skeletons on their decks.
1t is further at noon than it was at dawn,
And further at night than at noon
Oh! let us beware of that land down there

he hurried to the bed, and, catching
the handle of the chest, pulled it out.
At that moment my mother and Hilda
glided into the room like pair of ghosts.
There was a heavy wooden shawl
in my mothers hand and a look of fell
determination in her eye. Without a
moments hesitation she ran up to the

gaspingly returned to life. He was
handcutfed and the patrolman was
just tying his legs together in COM
pick fashion that seemed to give him
much satisfaction. My mother sat on
the bed in collapsed heap, and Hilda
knelt beside me holding my hands,
which she had been gently chatting.
As memory gradually returned | cried:

the other burglar on guard, so she had
opened the trap door of the cellar,
which lay just inside, hoping he would
fall in if he tried to enter. Then she
had released my mother. and after |

struggle, she had run out and brought
the patrolman to the house.

BY the time the patrol wagon reached
us Hilda had permitted herself to be
somewhat comforted. We listened to
the retreating wheels which were car

solemn tour of the house to secure
every door and window, we gathered
up the sheet full Of silver, and, retreat
