''You have taken advantage of mel"
she exclaimed, brightly, and then.
with glowing face looking into his,
she repeated the words, whispering
them. And, when she had finished,
they were both reverently silent,

james Barton Adams in Denver Post.
When the wcaried human creature
Is alone with Mother Nature
In the garden that WAS fashioned by
her hand,
When his toll is left behind him,
When he's where no cares can find
him,
How the breast with joy of liberty ex-
pands!
In the sweet eXhilaration
OF the freedom of vacation
There's newborn joyous sparkle in
his eyes
As he stands amid the bushes
Where the crystal river rushes
And the hungry trout are leaping at
the flies.
There is music in the plashing
OF the mountain brooklets dashing
O'er the rocks that nature tumbled in
their bed,
There Is inspiration winging
Through the air when birds are sing
In the mountain trees that tower over
head.
There is pleasure in the tramping
Der eternal hills and camping
Meath the beauties of the star-be-
ieweled skies,
And there's something quite entran-
cling
Where the gaudy flies are dancing
On the ripples when the trout begin to
rise.
There the liberated mortal
Seems so near the mystic portal
of the bright and golden realms of
Heavenland
That at night when he is dreaming
Near the campfire's CHEEKY cleaning
He can almost hear the music of the
band.
And he wakes from healthful sleeping
When the eye of day is peeplng
Underneath the curtain of the eastern
skies
For another day of rapture
Gloating DER each speckled capture
When the trout are rising to the dam
cling flies.
