Into this predcament, Mistress Mary de-
cides to share II. and on the appointed
day We find the hero sitting in the stocks,
with his lady perched beside him. her
feet also in the same peculiar position,
while the grandmother gives the young
couple her blessing.
The character of the hero is thing for
which the average reader will probably
hunt in vain. He ought to have one, but
1T does not appear. His chief vocation in
life seems to be to be misunderstood, and
this he pursues with a vigor and consist
ency worthy of better cause. The prom
ise OF his youthful years is carried out
through life He is always getting whip
ped for something that he die not do. He
is so consistently prosecuted for doing
things which other people are TO blame for
that it is not much to be wondered at that
he does not have much time to do anything
himself. The femme incomprise has been
considerable factor in contemporary lit
erature of late. but Miss wilkins is the
first to introduce the homme incompris,
and it is to be hoped she. will be the last.
The scapegoat as an institution is democrat
izing to society, even in fiction.
In all the book there appears no par
ticuiar reason for the title.
1t is alliterat;ve, and sounds mysterious;
that is all. If this book can be made to
serve as an object lesson TO authors and
! legged historical novels by people who do
not know however though they be ex-
perienced writer's in their own line-it will
be worth all the trouble it will cause to
sorely tried and disappointed readers; but
otherwise not.

Dear heart, where hast thou wandered?

In summers lavish mood,
And deep within the grove the thrush

Better to mourn our dead
Than never to know how sweet

Or the patter Of little feet;
Better to mourn. / say,

OF the tender trusting souls
That God Himself sent there.
Better to mourn our dead

Than not to know the charm
They trailed through our faltering years:
For 4 heart from which love has fed
Is the great unknown.
And perhaps is bound by golden thread
To the Masters plying throne.
Better to mourn our dead

I pray you smile through your binding tears,
And though sad is your heart, reioicei
For who weep for own know well,
But ali, at what bitter cost,
How dreary must be the hearts OF men
Who never have loved and lost.

The PerHdy Practiced by Simple
Simon.

Conveniently near to where
Young Simple Simon dwelt
There to be county fair,
And Simple Simon felt
That to the fair he ough: to go
In all his Sunday clothes. and so,
Determined TO behold the show.
He put them and went.
zone half his clothes were borrowed, and the
other halt lent
He heard altar the cheerful sound
OF horns that people blew.
He saw the horses swing around
circle. two and two.
He saw balloons arise, and il
He scented with gentle sniff
The smells OF pies, what is the difference to me
you?
(You cannot lay my verse is false, because !
know it's true.I
As Simple Simon nearer came
To these attractive smells.
Avoiding every little game =
Men played with walnut shells,
He felt a sudden longing rise;
The sparkle in his eagle eyes
Betrayed the fact he yearned fer pies
The eye the secret tells.
CTS known the pie Of country fairs all other
pies excels.)
So when he saw upon the road,
Some fifty feet away.
A pieinan, Simple Simon strobe l
Toward him, shouting. "Heyf
What kinds?'' as lordly prince.
The peman said. ave pumpkin. mince.
Burberry. apple. lemon, ounce.
And. showing his array.
He added: won't you try them, sir? They're
very nice today"
Now Simon's tastes were most profrse,
And so. by way Of start,
He ate two cakes, charlotte russo,
Two buns, the better part
OF one big ginger bread. pair
OF lady fingers, an cellar.
And six assorted pies. and there.
Tia hand rpnn his heart
He paused to choose between an apple dumpling
and tart
Observing that upon his tray
The goods were growing few.
The pieman cried, 81 beg to say
That patrons such as you
One does not meet in many a moon.
Pray, won't you try this macaroonT
But, guile stspccting, changed his tune
And added. "Wliat is due.
beg respectfully to says a dollar twenty two"
Then Simple Simon put curb
Upon his appetite.
And turning with air superb.
lie suddenly took fight.
While Ger his shoulder this absurd
And really most offensive word
Was all the trusting pieman heard
To soothe his bitter plight:
"Perhaps l should have said before your pies are
out Of sight"
The moral is 4 simple one,
But still of consequence,
Sor Simple Simon's sense OF fun
Was certainly immense.
Though. blaming his deceitful guise,
You scorn him with reproving eyes
And with the pieman sympathize,
Vet the latter dense:
For only they eat tarts and pies who haven't any
cents

The country road at lonely close OF day
Has rest awhile from the long stress OF rain:
Reflect no glistenng light; no colors gay
Has diving summer left: the sky is gray.
As though the weeping had not eased the pain.
The autumn is not yet. and all in vain
Seems summers liie-a blossom cast away.
The air is hushed save in the emerald shade
The rain still drops. and stirs each fretting leaf
To soft insstsnce of its little grief
The hopeless calm all thought Of lie denies;
But bark, and now through silence. unafraid,
A robin rippcs to the chilly skies.
Helen Hay. in Harpers Magazine.

The skies are black, the winds arc bold,
The road is rough and long;
But what are clouds and stony ways
When hearts are full Of song?
And two there be who walk hfe's path
Unheeding wind or weather,
And minding but your merry sprite
Who binds their hearts together.
All ways are smooth, all days are bright,
With him for guide and sun;
And three are always company
IL Love be one!
The road is smooth. the wind Is soft,
The sky is clear o'erhead;
But what are pleasant ways and days
To those whose hearts are dead?
And what is song that fills the ears
But can no farther go?
And what is light that eyes can see
But souls can never know?
All. two there be that walk life's path
As though they walked alone;
For two are never company
II Love be gone

The name is given in northern latitudes
TO the full moon of the lunation that comes
about the time of the autumnal equinox.
Taking the year through, the rising OF the
moon is retarded about 90 minutes every
day. but with the harvest moon the rising
is at ABOUT the same hour for several days
before and after the full. The help it may
give farmers in gathering crops is the
reason for the name.
