NORTON'S BARN.

1t was long and dark as winters night
And the old roof arched to lofty height;
Like tawny ribs the rafters doomed
In the high old top where the swallows
roomed;
While down below was the NOW 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
The 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 remem ber how we'd go
To Norton's barn on a rainy day
And hide and seek in the tons of hay?
We walked the beams in the dutsy loft,
Or jumped TO the depths of the haymow
soft,
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 a. last she found
A nest that escaped our searching round!
The lame old horse with the hungry NAV.
We fed him 10 oats when no one saw
How we pickd the lock on the grain box
tight
And call it "Robbing at dead O. night"
o Norton's barn 1 see thee still,
Homely and quaint on the side of the hill.
With weather stains, and knotholes shot,
A rickety, cranky, queer old lot
But to my boyish mind of old
A castle tit for baron bold!
And the boys and girls who used to play
At hide and seek: Oh, where are they?

her with his proficiency. This would
put her in melting mood. He would
ask her to marry him, and then they
would be happy for ever after.
So Lamson began to take private
lessons from Miss Arabella De We're,
who guaranteed to teach the waltz
and two step ''to any person not a
cripple or deficient in mental powers,
for five dollars
Miss De We're gave her dancing les
sons in a large, bare room over a
steamship office. She was a faded,
patient little woman, with slender,
twinkling feet that seemed many
years younger than her lined face
and thin hands. She had taught so
many people to dance that long ago
her pupils ceased to be anything
more to her than moving shadows of
different degrees of awkwardness.
Her dancing academy was near
Lamson's office, and he arranged with
her to take lesson on every week
day between one and half past one
o'clock. He ate a hurried lunch
every day, and then stole up to Miss
De Vere's with his pumps in his over
coat pocket. She began teaching the
waltz first, for she said that when
one had mastered that, all other
dances were easy. Each day she would
draw a diamond on the floor with
chalk and set Lamson to- revolving
around it to her monotonous: zone,

Lamson revolved until he thought
sometimes that his brain was churned
to an omelette. When he had slid
around for the proper length of time,
Miss DeVere would take firm hold
of him and put him through his poses
around the room, meanwhile hum.

she employed no musician during her
private lessons.
Every day for many weeks this per-
Torrance went on. Lamson revolved,
perspired, and revolved again in the
touching belief that some day he
would suddenly be inspired to waltz
with great grace and dexterity. Then
one day he asked a question which
woke his dancing mistress from her
dream that he was only moving,
walking shadow. 'When am I 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 your she said, in natural,

she had ever addressed him save as

Miss DeVere smiled and looked at
Lamson with kindly scrutiny. ST
wonder if you'll understand if I tell
you the truth?" she asked. "Will you
promise not to tn.nk l tell you things
to get rid of teaching you any more ?"
II promise YOU" Lamson replied.
well, 1 am afraid that you will
never learn to dance very much.
can see how hard you try, but some
how it isn't in you. There are people
that way about dancing just as there
are people that can never learn col
ors-that are color blind" She saw
the disappointment in his face.
But you keep right on coming, and
I'll help you all l can. Only I'm afraid
you won't learn much more. Would
you mind if l asked you a question ?"
NO, fire away" Lamson returned.
Are you trying to learn to dance
on account-of-of some young lady
that you like?' the dancing teacher
asked, delicately.
YES" Lamson said. "Since you are
so kind, don't mind telling you that
am" And he sat down and tod
the little woman the whole story Of
his love for Mary Ellen. II suppose
I'm fool for my palms," he ended,
dismally.
Tired, little Miss DeVere shook her
head, and very pleasant smile was
on her lips. NO. don't think so.
But now I'm going to give you piece
of good advice. If that girl cares any
thing for you-and is worth all your
ove-she will marry you just as quick
if you can't dance as if you can. I'm
woman and | know. You'd better
go and ask her right away, instead
of wasting your time here. If she
loves you. she'll take you, and if she
don't. all the dancing in the world
won't help you. Now, that's good,
sound advice. And some time you
must let me see her if you get mar
ried."
Lamson followed the advice of his
dancing teacher, and last week Miss
Arabella DeVere had large cream
colored invitation to the church we'd
ding of Albert Dukes Lamson and
Mary Ellen Anstruther. When she re-
ceived it, the little dancing teacher
nodded her head sagely. II told you
