In the ripples Of gold on the lower bay
In the sunsets rays sublimel
It's over the river in Somedayville,
BY the lake Of Soon-to-Be,
And Later On is the mighty hill
That rises out Of the laughing ril1,
The river Of Wait and Seel
It's always summer-the whole year

There are lAppy skies that are deep and

There are roses waiting to bloom for you
To blossom at your commando
So out to the breeze let rs spread the sail
Till it beats in q merry rhyme,
And of well go in the moonlight pale,
Till we reach the land of the fairy tale.

tainment given by the students they
both first met Nella Stanton. Unlucky
day! Both met to love. One night in
the secrecy of their room they agreed
that each should do his best to win, and
that neither should interfere with the
other.
SsIla favored Leroy and when he
propoAd was accepted. When Freder-
lex was told by Leroy that he had been
accepted the blow was hard. and near
ly stunned him. Then, as he fully real
lied that Nella, whom he loved nigh
unto madness. loved Leroy, his grief
and rage knew no bounds.
He accused Leroy of treachery, say.
ing he had not given him fair play. He
ended by calling him traitor to the
holy bonds of friendship and saying
he never wished to see his face again.
Stunned by such treatment, Leroy ut
tered not a word, but, collecting his
things, left the room.
From that day to this Frederick Mel
son and Leroy Seymons had not looked
into each others faces. Shortly after
Frederick read of the marriage of Le-
roy and Nella.
All this time Leroy and his young
wife were living happily together In a
distant city.
One year, two years, passed, and the
couple were blessed with n beautiful
little daughter. whom they named Erla.
She was the pride of their hearts; all
their thoughts and plans were for her
alone. One day cruel blow fell upon
the head of Nella. Leroy had been
killed. o, the terrible anguish, But she
would be brave for her baby girls sake.
After their money was gone Nella
hired some cheap rooms and supported
herself and Erla by her needle. And
now she depended on her daughter for
support. as her fragile health prevented
her from even this means of support.
Meanwhile Frederick had married re-

ment passed away. he loved. His one
desire now was to see his old friend
and ask his forgiveness. Instead of
boarding the car he retraced his steps

Little Dick and Elsie live In q HttlA
house not far away from the railroad,
and twice every day an engine goea
past that whistles just for them. II
whistles this way: two toots and then
three toots. Then Dick and Elsie run
and wave their hands to a big man In q
blue waist who rides on the engine, for
the big man ia their papa
One day they had a ride on their
papa's engine. and Dick blew the whis-
tie while Elsie rang the bell when their
papa said 80. and they both felt very
big. Once their papa turned a handle.
and the engine went "Sh! Sh! Shl
Sh!" and Elsie said:
why Is the engine telling Us to hush
up, papa? We are keeping STILL"
But their papa only laughed. 1t was
the most fun Dick and Elsie ever had.
and they had dinner out Of papa's 8
lunch basket, which was fun. too, and
when they got home their mamma said:
"Oh, what dirty babies mamma has
got"
Then she washed them and gave
them a nice, warm supper and put
them to sleep. and they were glad to
get to bed, for they were very tired.
How would you like to have q ride

They never grow to be more than n
inch long, these little weather frogs
and like the chameleon they take the
color Of anything upon which they may

green II upon leaves. If placed In a
jar of blue water they become blue.
This Is natures greatest gift to them,
for by this means they keep hidden
from not only their enemies, but the
dies and gnats which are their food.
But they have another queer trait,
and that is that long before 1t rains
they jump into the water and stay
there until the rain Is over even II they
are under shelter. On the other hand
when the wea ther is cloudy they know
whether it will clen, up or not. II the
sun Is going to shine these wise little
creatures will come out of the water
and stay out until the next showAr ap-
