The girl stood with her head droop-

her face and onto her clasped hands.
She lifted her eyes for moment to the
handsome, angry face, seen dimly
through mist of tears.
"Love isn't everything" she said.
"Duty comes first!"
"Duty! Is it duty? It's only nat
urai for sons and daughters to marry
and leave their first home"
Lillian Grey's fair face flushed. "You
are not putting it fairly, Arthur. 1t is
not natural-at any rate it is not
right-for an only daughter to leave
a father who needs her, who cannot do
without her."
''If that's ALL" said Arthur Morton,

husband, would claim my first atten-

flashing eyes. "Yod seem to have no
god but self. It's not my happiness
you are thinking of, but your own"
ooh! very WE'LL" was the passionate
retort; "if you only want an excuse to
break with me-one is as good as an

LOVES PROOF.
KANSAS.

How can l prove my love TO you.
You whom love so we'll?
What cen | say, what can l DO.
All doubts henceiorth 10 quell?
No VOWS / make. VOWS are too weak.
In them no proof would lie:
Some other me tho6 j must seek
My heart TO satisfy.
Nor can smlN on you alone,
Az through the world We go:
Some "ther method must be known
TO those who love would show.
NO. dear. I'll simply take your hand:
My life tune to your own;
As on We SO. DER rocks. through SAND
With ne'er a sigh or moan.
Wen happy be when smiles the sun.
And laugh when falls the rain:
Making each cay the er.y one,
Filled with its JOY or pain.
No promises for future years.
No memories Of past.
No shedding of regretful tears,
No coming hopes forecast:
A present hope, a present Joy,
My love must be to you;
hoop OF gold without alloy.
That makes us strong ard true.
A circle. where each life complete
Within its lines may dwell;
invisible. and yet so sweet
Each knows and feels the SPELL
More tangible this proof will be
Than word, or look. or deed.
A something that no man can see.
