A soft, sweet song she sings
When out OF the gloom of that small, quiet

Comes the rustic of angels wings.

There Is one passage tn Louis Steven

nave been thousand pities to- miss. SO
much nonsense has been written about
stevenson S work. he was made the VIC
tim while no lived Of such an extrava-
CANT system of putting, that those who
did not know him were almost inevfta-
bly, forced to associate him with his
fatterers and to believe that he must
see himself with their eyes. It is clear
that he did not. His most exacting
critic can hardly have judged him more
sternly than he judged himself.
For the nonce my skill deserts me,
such "a 1t Is. or was. 1t was very lit
tie dose OF inspiration, and pretty lit
tie trick OF style, long lost, improved
by the most heroic industry. So far

What contrast it is to the following
extract from the touching epilogue add

1.-The fragment ON which he wrought

to my mind. as it did to his own, for
the first time the full measure of his
powers, and if in the literature Of ro-

mastery, Of more piercing human in
sight or more concentrated imaginative
vision and beauty, do not know it."

Here is testimonial from Mr.. E A.
Miller, OF Columbus, O., accompanying
tho photograph OF his family.
For two years past 1 have been
constant sufferer with severe nervous
headaches, Oft times being compelled to
go to bed, whom my business necessi-
tated my personal attention. Last week
my physician recommended Paine's
celery compound. 1 have taken now
four bottles. and have not suffered with
headache since. This government, in
my mind. should pay the discoverer of
PAines celery compound sum Of M oney
sufficient to keep him and all his rela-
tives In luxury during their natural
life"

OF che late Governor Lucas, Of Ohio
Mr.. Miller's praise of Paine's celery
compound is equaled by that OF thou
sands OF others who owe their health
and strength to this greatest Of all
remedies.

HOW JESS PROPOSED.

could never quite forgive certain
somebody whom jess lovingly called Ned
for stealing my little Jess heart, and one
day l told her so.
We were sitting together in tho ham
mock that swung gently to and fro be-
tween stately elms in the midst of the
beautiful flower garden of Jess Sheldon's
summer homo at Rye. 1 had been spond-
ing week with my friend, whole sweet,
delightful week, so like tho old college
days again-without any Ned to spoil (for
mo) its happy hours.
1t was Saturday afternoon, and Ned
was expected up from New York on the
O'Clock train. l was sorry. Jess was in
the seventh heaven Of sweet anticipation.
She was looking her best, which means
that she was looking bewitchingly lovely.
There was tho lovelight in her eyes, those
great, soft, brown eyes, and loves emblem
ono deep red rose-in her hand, and as
sho sat at my side, with her face partly
turned from me, knew that she wac
thinking Of Ned.
My dire threat of being unforgiving
seemed to affect hor but little, for she
laughed merrily at me. Perhaps she knew
me too we'll to believe mo, or perhaps she
trusted COnUuenbly 10 N0uS lrreSlSLlDl0
charms and powers to melt my heart.
"At any rate" 1 added, you're such q
dear little creature Jess, that IL this
knight of yours is not all and far more
than your love pictures him I don't see
how he ever had tho assurance to make
love to you"
"But suppose he didn't" suggested
jess, turning toward me with merry
tyyipklo I'm her owes.
Didn't what?' I asked.
"Why, make love- to mo Suppose I
did it-that is, first, you know" she said
with blush.
CESS" 1 exclaimed, "what do you
mean?"
She nestled close to me, linked her pretty
arm within mine and said: "I'll tell you
how it happened.
You know that about year ago in
herited u snug little fortune from my
grandfather. and that, besides this my
parents are rich. Not bad state to be
In. You'll allow. Quite enyiablo, in fact,
and yet I'd scatter my riches to the four
winds if thought that they would ever
again come between mo and the truest,
nohlcst'- And here l was compelled to
curb my curiosity and listen to spirited
eulogy on the virtues of Ned.
"We met last winter at Lakewood, and
from the first day that saw Ned and his
companions 1 felt peculiar interest in
them. Not matter of love at first sight
