years the cypress cutters and raftsmen
on the river had told wonderful tales
about Kickapoo bayou, and the mys-

his tales failed to satisfy. to get him

such suggestion that l sought out the
old man in his retreat in the swamp

1t is harder for most Of US to re-
joice in another's good fortune than to
sympathize with him in his evil lot.
This is because love is higher than
pity. A lovers chief joy is to see his
beloved enjoying. So it will be with
us, when we get the spirit of love. Bet
ter, then. than to live in a fine house
ourselves will it be to know that our
neighbor is getting pleasure from his
fine house. How far we are from this
virtue of love may easily be seen by
such a test as that-Amos R. Wells.
