 70, Jack, dear, l cannot fathom ml
 happiness. You have given me wings
 l know I could fly, I am so light ant
 airyA Shall I try"
 No, don't try, darling. I fear If you
 tried and succeeded you woJli be lik'
 the tame duck in the oll barn-yard
 flock. As soCn as you proved tho strength of your wings the exhileratina
 ser1ation would draw you irresistibly away with the Wild, free flock"
 "l thought I was happy before. but
 your love has filled the measure tc ovorhowing, It is hke--it is lllle--O. cannot tell what it Is like.
 Love, my darling, Is wonderful
 fairy, whose time is all occupied in kaleidosccping the vista of the future. "
 Yes, Jack, dear, but all ;he wonder- ful co!ors in the refractng instrunen; are not bright anI gay, neither are al the figures symmetrical. You have given me the sweetest pains of my life, Jack. dear. Misg.vinSs and fears. like files to the heart, torture and gnaw. l seem another Eve, with the grit Q. the apple still on my teeth, and the reniing pains of the birth of knowledge tearing at my heart. The vision is So much clearer now. Before, I could but see and wonder. Now, l observe and andlyza." She spoke in tones Of pathet- ic earnestness, like the sweet pity of a c!Lld bemoaning her enjoyable solitude.
 And what of the analysis, love?" asked Jack, wistfully.
 70, l hardly know, she said, th3ushtfully. The par;s seem to unite at one moment into an irridescent dream, and then beneath close scrutiny dissolve slowly like a spirit retreating into the shadows into atoms so small us to be scarcely visible. And this analysis melts into impressions, some clear and rrominont as the seven col cEs, others hut tlen1ings of indefinable. fce'ingS-vague unrsst and, gnawing ap- rrehe nsitns, like the shadow of impG nd . ing evil"
 She looked strangely prophetic as she spoke. A thoughtful look of wondrous depth shone in her great, hlack eyes. Her glossy hair hal fallen over her shoulders and clung, ivy-Iike, to her gown. The full-throated neck was en- clrcled by a unique necklace of bears claws, the gift of an Indian friend
 The beautiful cataract fell almost at their feet, breaking it's volume into countless dew-drops, that glittered like diamonds beneath the gaslight.
 The lacy ivy spun it's intricate web across the p0-pendicular front. inter- lacins with it's rich, green tilagree the vari-colored reflections of the watery 
 "A part of the lqu,d avalanche g,ided swiftly by. rippling songfully over its unrcstful bed ,while portion trlckled ire nu.ouS.y into tiny trundle-bed to the r.gh; and left along the canOpied bank, and slumborsd calmly. lullcd by the ctaseiCss cradle-soNS of the falls.
 Tt hurts me to think l bring you sorrow" began Jack, penitently.
 70, but it is such a sweet sorrow-it IS Its own cOmpensa ton. for 1t chast- ems but tn please she interrupted quickly. She was as sensitive as q stringed instrument
 Tt is so sweet to love- she whispered. diinking deep draughts from his sympathetic blue eyes, and vet IL seems selfish and sacrilegious too," sha added, as though voicing her passing feelings.
 selfish! Love Is cha:it? clarlGed." exclaimed Jack.
 70, but let me make myself clelr." She did not say You do not under stand Love is selfish because tyran- ll'c It cffaces al c,h2g emona1ns. It is paramount ard brooks no insaent rl- Fals. No matter what i'm doing now. find myself thinking of you You die tate my dreams. Formerly lny nay dreams were of GaI and his spiritual f&nt maidens, Ia.urr and her lcvali- 2 ss, dear dad and his sorrows, but now these far1ics of the brain all merge in to orc deifod Jack. Father says self Ishncss is a great green worm gnawinl; at the f0unaation Of our flith. Some times ha calls it a giant battling with the father of cur souls"
 Your father is q marvellous man. I never knew his equal for real wisdom, sincere picty and erudition. I marvel much at his learning when I consider his lonely life" said Jack, enthusias- LicaHy.
 70. father is very wise, He has not always lived among these harsh crags ana shuddcring ravines He spent his carly life in the far east: attended col Iege there. and has travelei in lands across the water. He spent many norths in Egypt and along the Nile. He wa2 enraptured with the number. oEs historic spots around Jeyusalem md the holy land. He has wept in the ittls garden of GCtisc mane, which he avs is not much ttFger than the front wards of the city houses. o, he has 'tlt.ed much and thought about what he hls studied.

S!nce-aince they have parted, We have lived here He has earned of the earth, the wind and the heavens, Nothing escapes him, noth- ng IS too insignificant. He reaps harvest of thought from barren rock.
