NoRToN.s BARN.


1t was long and dark as winters night
And the old roof arched to lofty height;
Like tawny ribs the rafters loomed
In the high old top where the swallows
roomed;
While down below was the NOV and bay,
In summer void, but filled with hay
When the chilly days of the winter fell
The winter days that we loved SO well!
The square old beams with their coats Of
dust,
rhe gray barn doors with their reddish
rust
On hasp and hinges, quantity wrought
BY the village smith from iron brought
In English ships of the long ago!-
Do you remember how we'd go
To Norton's barn on rainy day
And hide and seek in the tons of hay?
We walked the beams in the dutsy lott,
Or jumped to the depths of the haymow
sort,
And burrowed deep in the yielding straw
Till the frightened cattle thought they saw
The robbers come from their caverns deep,
And phantom ghosts from the roof-tree
leap!
We dug us holes in the rustling hay
Where the hired men fell in sad dismay.
And the fussing hen who hid her nest
And thought us bothering childish pest!
How proud she was when at last she found
A nest that 'scaped our searching round!
The lame old horse with the hungry nav,
We fed him to oats when no one saw
How we pick'd the lock on the grain box
tight
And call it "Robbing at dead O. night"
Norton's barn I see thee still,
Homely and quaint on the side of the hill
With weather stains, and knotholes shot,
rickety, cranky, queer old lot
But to, my boyish mind of old
A castle fit for a baron bold!
And the boys and girls who used to play
AT hide and seek: oh, where are they?

her pupils ceased to be anything

Her dancing academy was near

her to take lesson on every week

waltz first, for she said that when
one had mastered that, all other
dances wereeasy. Each day she would
draw a diamond on the floor with
chalk and set Lamson to revolving
around it to her monotonous: "One,

sometimes that his brain was churned

touching belief that some day he
would suddenly be inspired to waltz
with great grace and dexterity. Then
one day he asked question which
woke his dancing mistress from her
dream that he was only a moving
walking shadow. "When am / going
to begin to learn the two-step?" he
asked, as he stepped up to his chalked
diamond and took the first position.
Miss DeVere stared, and it suddenly
dawned on her that this mature pupil
had been coming to her for long
time. you aren't getting along very
fast, are you?" she said, in a natural,

she had ever addressed him save as
