IN YOUTH.


IN youth stood erect and faced the east,
But when the stars had been dissolved away
! maryeled that the dawn was rot increased
BY reason OF their shrinklge. Mad for dav,

The blush in purple OF eternity
Then grew weary Of the black delay.
Starred heaven brought such torture TO the
eye.
Although the stars be small, they prove there is a
sky.
I closed my eyes and called the sun a myth,
! raved because the earth would not rcvolvr,
But had become instead a monolth.

The secret Of its base. This must involve
Some neat contOrtion OF all likelihood,

To spin the guessing net myself 'Twere good

none OF IT'S light by what the other gains.

Walian who made use of the word was
standing on his head at the time and that
his pronunciation became general.-Car-

Yes, he must have turned off the

But Markham was pushing along rap

They left the path, bore for short dis
lance to the left through the trees, and
emerged on a small clearing. They saw
before them, standing darkly against the
purple twilight, a low, square structure
of logs. 1t resembled a hut, though it
had neither door nor window, and on the
top of IL squatted a huge carved image
a totem bear.
There must be a village near by"
whispered Quin. This looks like the

That's what it is-a chiefs grave"

heard the following conversation, which
she afterward told to Robin.
Come on out and be caught" said
Puss, crouching at a rat hole.
No" said the squeaky voice from in
side. I'VE won't come out and we don't
think it very nice of you to return Mrs.
Browns kindness in sheltering you by
trying to eat up her friends"
who said a word about eating you
up" said Puss. ''Come out here and see
the show. They are all asleep and you
can run around and look at the Three
Blind Mice and Cinderella, and Red Rid
ing Hood and the Wolf and the Three
Little Kittens"
ugh. we hate Kittens" said the Old
rat
well, they're asleep and you're more

Well, rats are a good deal like men.
They do like to see something for nothing,
and they like to see celebrated people, so
the whole rat family twenty in all, came
out in bunch, and-Puss ate them hike
grapes-that is, in bunch. And Mrs.
Brown, next morning, said that in Kidding
her house of rats Puss had put himself
in her debt. And Puss carried his tail
with more of curve than ever after
that.

when he heard what had happened, he
said to Robin: How can l reward you,

Robin always called them the Figures

Give me until tomorrow TO decide, "
said the uncle.
Next day at breakfast he said: Robin,
ii will take some time to fix up the rink,
and can't use the wax works while I'm
busy building, so you may go just as soon
as you please. Only / want you TO con-

they heaved the water upon it. There was
a tremendous hiss as the flames reluc-
family gave in to the water, and then a
cloud of steam as white in the moonlight
as those real clouds floating so serenely
overhead, and then the moon had it all
her own way and was not troubled any
more by the freight in her eyes.
1t was great success, that 'Puss and
Giants Fire Distinguishing Company"
and very modest cat might have car
ried her tail in the air like plume.
Pus, who was anything but a modest
cat, walked on his hind legs and carefully
picked his way among the puddles, look
ing to the right and left as much as to
say, 81 tell you, it takes me-aouw."
One by one the Oldhamites were COM
ing back, and now that their first sur
prise was over, they were prepared to
accept Robins account of what had hap
pened. Thanks to the promptitude Of
Puss, the building could be restored,
while another ten minutes of flame
would have made it a heap of ruins.
But it could not be used for months,
and this fact put an idea into Robins
head, which he kept to himself until his
uncle should return.
Now that the fire was out, the wax
people began to shiver, and Robin him
self felt that a night gown and a coat on
