HER LITTLE FELLOW YET.


What funny creatures mothers arei
sometimes laugh TO see-
For an my bigness and my age
HOW mine looks after me.
She wants to warm me when I'm cold,
TO dry me when I'm Wet
DO believe she thinks me just
A little fellow YETI
/ got bump at ball one day
That knocked me rather fat,
But d we had not lost the game
I'd not have minded that;
And when they brought me to the door,
/ saw her eyes grow wet,
So am sure she thinks me just
A little fellow yet!
I'm not a schoolboy any more,
With satchel at my back;
1t won't be mars years before
I don the haversack.
I'm going TO join the volunteers
Ny father was vet
And surely then I will not be
A little fellow yet!
OF course, although she thinks me this
Ii does not make It so
I'm big enough and strong enough
AS some, reckon know.
But. then, one feels 50 small inside
To think she can forget,
or can't believe, that 1 am not
A little fellow yet!
An, well the mothers good as gold,
And kind as kind can be:
There's no one else In all the world
That's half as kind to me
So let her think &c If she will
When 1, too, am a vet
il may be I will wish I were
Her little fellow yet!

No, that I am going. Must ! go?"
"To become a Uitlan2er or Brit4
ish subject" She smiled YEARLY and
it encouraged him.
He felt that it mattered not in
what part Of the universe fate should
carry him, if it but carried Anita Aus
tin with him.
"Anitap He brought his face near
and laid his hand over hers, won't
you try to love me a little, dearg
Don't you understand, darling?"
She tried to draw her hand away,
but he held it close. "Can't you love
me a little, dear?" he almost whis-
pered.
She was afraid to look up and let
him read her eyes. But he took her
troubled face in his free hand and
turned it so that she could read his
plainly. "Do you want me to say:
will you marry me, as they do in
book?"
She nodded and looked straight
into his happy eyes.
"And will you say, 'yes%' He
put his arm around her and she tried
to release herself, but she could not
summon the indignation She had all
ways believed a girl must feel when o
man proposed to her.
Ought /? Rightat once?"
Certainly. It's now or never" he
said, gravely.
"Then suppose I DO" He bent
his head and kissed her lips.
The heavy brocaded portiere shook
like a crimson wave, unnoticed
Anita looked mp with eyes sadder
than tears. "Please let me CO."
"Why, dear;7
Tin afraid I ought not to-
have stayed-except behind the cur
tain"
A queer look crossed Miles face. tt
had not occurred to him that Anita
was the girl Lance was going to help.
He repeated his question several
times before she answered, and then
it was a very incoherent answer.
Because" She said.
Because Why" She looked so
pretty and so utterly at a loss.
Because" she said with a little
wan smile and an effort-"you-you
didn't 90 on your knees"
''That's out Of fashion. Dearest,
are you very, very sure you love me?7
Lance sobbed behind the heavy
portiere and between her sobs
murmured: "What a PROPOSAL"
But none ever knew the cost Of that
| proposal And it was with a bright
smile that she welcomed Jack.
