Noble Lives.

AS clear as amber. fine as musk
Is the life of those who, pilgrim wise.
Move hand in hand, from dawn to dusk
Each morning nearer Paradise.
Oh, not for them shall angels pray!
They stand in everlasting light.
They walk in Allah's smile by day,
And nestle In his heart by night.

talking hoarsely and excitedly.
The streets in front of the hotel, al
ready filled with the dusk of earthly
twilight, through which the street
lamps seemed spheres of golden haze,
wore much the same look. but with
the difference that the groups took the
form of a procession moving along the
wet sidewalk. Across the way the
shirts in the window of the Gents
Clothing Palace" were all of the same
color as the ribbons. The entrance to
the dry-goods store further down was
draped with the same shade. Even the
bootblacks and newsboys, perhaps with
q view to personal benefit rather than
from any strcrg affection for the col
