MARRIAGES. 1T A FAILURE?

Big Nichol Helm was cobbling
away at the sole of a shoe. The
new leather looked pink under his
dirty hands. It was very hot in
his stuffy shop, and he had pinned
a newspaper before the window for
shade; not that he minded the sun
himself, though the water splashed
down in great salt drops from his
forehead, but to shade the woman
and child who sat near him. She
had opened her calico dress about
her sallow, stringy throat, and her
skin glistened with the heat. In
her lap lay the baby, very thin and
limp. A slit of white under the
dropping lids, and its eyes were
stained and sunken. From time to
time it moved restlessly; then the
mother would start from her drows-
ing and brush the flies away.

baby's awful sick, an it's gettin'
hotter an hotter every minute
Never mind, wife, replied big
Nichol, bravely. sHe amt half so
sick as he looks; it's just because
you're tired out a watchin' him that
you think so. Why, he laughed
just as natural then when held
out my awl at him !
The woman smiled pitifully
Maybe, papa, maybe.
The shadow Of the newspaper
slid slowly across the room. Out
on the street the hot air waved like
colorless flames. There were trees
before Nichol Helms house, but
the caterpillar's had tied up the
shade in snarls of web and gnawed
leaf. Presently the woman spoke
again.
We've had ten, an every one
was prettier and knowinger than
the last. This one was awful for

he chirruped; but the child did not
notice him.
The sun had set, and the west
glowed red hot behind the black

bridge that swung its steel cobweb
over the river. Below him the boats
steamed up and down, their lights

in his arms. A cool breeze fut-
tered up. The little one opened its
eyes and smiled at its father.
Daddy it cooed, then it nestled
its head under the cobbler's arm
and slept.
Nichol was very tired. His eyes
stung with sleep, and his arm grew
numb. Yet he sat there that the
sick child might catch some stray
breeze denied to the suffocating
city.

He'd have died in that hole of q

bird singin.
Singin mighty freei
Oh! wake up wake up! arly in de morn
De time is a-comin' for to git dat corn
in;
Go. hitch dem mules while de daylight
dawnin.
Dawnin' in de sky:
Go, git dem Golfers when de teams done
drinkin
Start dat Dlantin' while de jew-draps'
blirkin';
An wuk till de ebenin' sun go to sink
