You will read Of the heroes Of life
And the valorous deeds they have done,
For the world is alame with the light OF
the name
OF. the man who Is back Of the gun:
But give me the pen that can write
OF the soil that gives life to the rose:
Ofthe woman whose realm is to stand at
the helm
Though her ships but a basket Of
clothes;
Wash and rinse and wiring,
Soap and soak and rub;
Oh, give me words that may fittingly sing
OF the woman who stands at the tub!
Not she who is gifted and great.
Surrounded by honor and friends.
Has need of my praise. for the trend Of
her ways
Leads forward to prosperous ends;
But the one who is drifting through life
In bark that is meager and mean;
Who stands in her place with smile on
her face
And is keeping her little world clean;
Toll in cold and heat,
Soap and soak and rub;
Oh, give me a tribute to lay at the feet
OF the woman who stands at the tub!

4 yopslo~e me: = little it-seems to

Ispsrf youslove mo ) little itlseems to
me that I shall get well.''
"You will get WELL" she repeated,
very low, without raising her eyes.
'And you will not leave me any
more-my betrothed!"
She trembled. A revolt came, But
no!-this was only q shadow that
spoke to her. He was SO near death
that he no longer felt its approach.
And in the silhouettes of the sail
boats ON the horizon, in the aroma. Of
the pines which bordered the open
sea, she read a mute injunction. Of
pity. She did not withdraw her hand.
1t seemed to the sick man that he
held the promise Of life, sweet and
fresh, in his fingers.
He took no heed Of the death of the
sun, dreamed not of the coming Of
the night without a dawn.
The next day Douglas Lindsay
wished to be alone. Afterward he re-
ceived several visitors.
In the evening when Mary came to
watch beside him he spoke to her of
the future, nothing but the fu-
ture, in his voice which already
came from eternity. He described
to her a little cottage at Bourne
mouth, where they would live when
he was well and she was his wife.
There was something radiant in this
unconscious ecstasy which glorified
death.
His breath came with difficulty, but
he did not suffer. BY the window
open to the infinite, the nurse felt
something like sacred awe steal
over the earth.
Then she leaned over the dying
man, prayed for him, and in answer
to his unexpressed desire, she pressed
her lips to his without repugnance,
murmuring to herself:
e"Poor man! I kiss in you all the
sorrows Of humanity
He closed his eyes before the bliss.
full certainty.
The dawn broke gray and mourn
full, accompanied by gust of mis-
trail. Douglas Lindsay did not wake.
This was his death.
At the opening of the will of Lord
Lindsay, dated and signed by testator
on the day before his death, the no.
tary declared before witnesses that
the deceased had annulled his first
will, in which he had disposed of all
his property in favor of the poor and
the sick. He opened the sealed let
ter and read these words:
81 appoint as my sole legatee the
woman who loves me, Mary Sullivan,
my betrothed."
Astonishment appeared on every
