THE NEW DAYS COME


One afternoon In the late autumn An
ME was sitting watching Hyde playing
with his dog, a big mastin of noble
| birth and character. The creature sat
erect with his head leaning against
| Hyde, and Hydes arm was thrown
around his neck as he talked to him of
their adventures on the Broad that dave
annie small face though delicate and
| fragile looking, was full of peace. and
ner eyes, SOFT, deep and heavenly, held
tnoughts that linked her with heaven.
outside there was in the air that No
Vember feeling which -chills like the
passing breath of death. The deserted
garden looked sad and closed-in. and
| everywhere there was a sense of tha
! ianguishing end Of the year, of the fad-
| ing and dropping of all living thinre
But In the house Annie ad HYDE and
| the dog sat within the circle of warmth
ana hght made by the blazing ash logs.
! and in that circle there was AT Lea
an atmosphere of sweet content. Sud-
denly George looked up and his evos
caught those of Annie watching him

| stories?'
Yes The mystery of love affair
pleases every one, and I think we shall
/ not tire of love stories until we tire Of
! the mysteries of spring, or of prim-
roses and daffodils. Every ono knoa

new tale"
Love has been cruel to me. It has
made cloud on my life that will help

so hopeless. However, as I see no end
to my happiness try to submit to
what 1 can not avoid. What is the
use of longing for that which I have
no hopes to get?
My uncle grows anxious for you to
marry. He would be glad to see the
succession of Hyde assured
oh, indeed, I have no mind to fake
a wife. hear every day that Soma oe
my acquaintance have married: i hear
OF none that have done worse"
You believe nothing Of what you say.

! Then they Were silent. ana Hyde drew
his dog closer ana watched the blaze

servant had just brought In. At his
entrance he had also given Annie let

Hyde had no speculation about it. and
