DRIVING HOME THE COWS.

He drops the bars down, one by one, and
lets the cows pass through,
Then follows them along the lane as he
once used to do:
And memory whispers as he climbs the
grassy meadow slope,
OF happy days when, long ago, boy 50
full of hope
Used often here to lie and dream upon
the hills soft crest
When tired of play, his head upon it's
daisy fiecked breast,
Till leapng dog awakened him with loud
and sharp bow-wows,
To warn him that the time had come for
driving home the cows.
flows from yonder spring,
1t ripples. murmurs, bubbles like bright
and living thing:
Upon its sparkling current here he used to
sail his boats
And once again he throws chip, to watch
it as it floats;
Whirling, dancing, jumping, far away
a-down ii goes,
Up and down and here and there with all
the changing flows,
Till out of sight it whrls at last, down
where the channel bows,
AS once he did long years ago while driving
home the cows.
And all day long in the meadow, while
raking the fresh cut hay,
The brightest fancies come to him with
the brightness of the day,
And every cricHet chirping and the lark
that scars and sings,
The butterfly that daZZles with its brightly
painted wings,
All seem to be companions as he works
and works away
Till the sun sinks low and lower with the
passing of the day
And a voice calls through the shadows
and the slowly gathering gloom:
John, my dear, let down the bars; the
cows are coming home

Gibson.
Brownrigg married jamie. Some peo-
pie prophesied that their marriage
would furnish a problem. Others re-
garded it as a beautiful illustration Of
the ingenious law of compensation by
which nature settles most problems,
nature being economical and evidently
intending that woman's office of re-
deeming love shall be no sinecure. AS
Gibson observed to his wife, If people
like Brownrigg didn't marry what
would become of the domestic virtues?'
AS for Brownrigg, he had his hair
cut and resumed the ordinary garb of
masculine civilization. He sank from
the lyric nights of passion to make him
self master of the prose of love; and,
after all, it is not everyone who can
achieve distinction in prose. jamie
alone cherishes the innocent belief that
her husband is a great poet; she even
reads his verses and admires them all
with one exception. She cannot see
the point of the dedicatory quatrains to

bad as those verses undoubtedly are,
they are beyond all question the best

The Tame Cranes.

Won Seyffert had a pair Of tame
cranes which soon lost all fear of man
and of domestic animals, and became
strongly attached to the former Their
life in a German village, in which ag-
riculture was the sole employment and
the communal system of joint herding
of cattle and swine. driving them to-
gether to the pasture prevailed, was
very much to their taste. They soon
knew all the inhabitants In the place.
and, until the female crane died. used
to call regularly at the houses to be fed
When the female died the survivor at
once took as a new friend a bull He
would stand by the bull in the stall and
keep the flies off him, scream when he
roared, dance before him, and follow
him out with the herd. In this asso-
citation the crane saw and remarked
the duties of the cowherd and one
evening he brought home the whole of
the village herd of heifers unaided, and
drove them into the stable.
From that time the crane undertook
so many duties that it was busy from
dawn till night. He acted as policeman
among poultry, stopping all fights and
disorder. He would stand by a horse
when left in a cart, and prevent it from
from moving by pecking it's nose and
screaming. A turkey and a gamecock
were found fighting, whereon the crane
first fought the turkey and then sought
out and thraShed the cock. Meantime
it always ''herded" the cattle, not al
ways with complete success. These
We're collected in the morning by the
sound of a horn, and some would lag
behind. On one occasion the crane went
back, drove up some tagging heifers
through the street, and then frightened
them so much that they broke away
and ran two miles in the wrong direc-
ton. The bird could not bring them
back. but drove them into a field, where

ten her: he had adored LeonOra and
he adored her no longer. Could it be
possible that he was tickle? He remem-
bered how in his boyhood he had once
made a friend of man called Haynes;
how he wrote a sonnet ITO a Young
Friend" (Haynes being five years his
elder) in which he spoke of holding
'High Converse with a spirit mild and
wise;
And how he excused himself afterward
on the ground that these epNhats were
wrung from him by the exigencies of
rhythm and rhyme. For an absurd
Quarrel had brought that friendship
to an abrupt end. He remembered the
d,senchantment and disgust, and also
the satisfaction he derived from the
discovery he made after brief inter-
val that Haynes was vulgar fellow
with no certain control Of his aspirates
In like manner he now found out that
Leonora was a frivolous doll and an
upsexed virago. He made no attempt
to reconcile these two ideas; he had re-
ceived both impressions distinctly.
The question remained, was he tickle?
After much anxious deliberation he
decided that he was not ficke, but ver-
satile. Versatility was an intellectual
quantity, not a moral one, and t was
the character of his genius. Having
settled that problem to his satisfac-
ton, he went back to Leonora's judg-
ment Of his poems. After all. he re-
fected, what was such a woman's ver-
dict worth, the verdict of a frivolous
fool? To assert his independence, he
wrote a sonnet that night and called
it de Profundis."
Now it was that he remembered

sympathy. He had behaved like a

cess, for 1T was not the success of which
he had dreamed. AS writer of mere
prose he had risen in Gibson's eyes, but
he had fallen in his own. At the same
time he was quite aware that he had
fallen on his feet, for Gibson was one
of those people who are always rather
better than their word, and to be taken
up by him was to be more or less certain
of career.
In due time Brownrigs made his tri-
umphal entry into the world of litera-
ture through the classic pages of the
"Piccadilly Review" He wrote to
jamie and told her all about it, saying,
and indeed believing, that it was for her
sake that he had made this sacrifice of
his supreme ambition, and had con-
sented to work on lower level for a
while; adding that it would not be long
now before they could afford to be mar
ried. For the rest, he took Gibson's ad-
vice. and no longer sent his poems to
publishers; he sent them to jamie, in
closed in long, melancholy. autobio-
graphical letters. jamie soothed him by
return Of post. praised the poems, and
prophesied fame for their author.
jamie had always soothed him mex
pressibly. She was easily moved to
n,irth yet she never smiled at his little
solecisms: she never laughed when he
tried to play lawn tennis. and slipped
and fell about the grass in a variety OF
curious attitudes. When Brownrigg
blushed and looked uncomfortable, as
he did a dozen times day, jamie suf-
fered sympathetic agonies. And yet
when he was made sub-editor Of the
''Piccadilly Review a year later, and
gave UP his government appointment
on the strength Of 1t, Miss jamie was
by no means overjoyed by his good for
tune. To be sure he had told her that
they could not be married now for an
other four years, and she was disap-
pointed. Women are so selfish. he re-
fected; they take everything person

horrid alternative; either you must
know something about everything. and
then you're a prig, or you must know
everything about something, when
you're a bore"
Gibson laughed and turned away; he
was beginning to see it. AS Brownrigg
dropped into the low chair beside her,
she made a little face of depreciation.

They had tea. And after tea she talked

and uttered commonplaces with an air

AS they got up to go. she sighed ever so
slightly. And now, Mr. Brownrigg. you

That one look from Brownrigg showed
that he thought her more adorable than
