THE skEIN OF LOVE.

Fair Agnes on the window seat, As l came in was sitting lightly; A skein and ball fell at her feet,
 As greeting me her face shone brightly. Her need I readily divined And held the skein for her to wind. How subtly loves soft sillxen strands Are lightly cast for mans enfolding: l simply reached my willing hands. Her bright skeiu for a short space hold
 ing;
 For as the shapely ball was wound. My very heart was firmly bound! Swift the darting swallows flight, Before my gaze her delft hand glancing. My awkward fingers kept alright.
 With matchless skill. and grace entranc-
 ing;
 Amid the twisting coils her glance Shot to my heart keen as a lance. When knots perpexlng came to hand. Which bending o'er she separated, Her light breath my rapt senses famed, Like winds of May with blossoms freight
 ed:
 And ere the skein a ball became My heart was hers beyond reclaim. No manacles Of well-wrought steel, Have ever mind and body holden But by the strands that fair hands reel Has man been held since ages olden. Ne'er reach your hand to hold loves skein. And hope to be heart-whole again! Arthur Howard Hall. in Detroit Free
 Press.
