away and do-he knew not what, but
somewhere, somehow, great deeds that
should make them all prosperous and
happy.
What, he thought bitterly, would they
say now if they saw him. He glanced
at his seedy clothes and worse than
seedy shoes.
"They would not know me, not know
me''-tnis man ambling through the park,
ragged and ill-kempt, showing not only
neglect and poverty, but what was worse,
loss of self-respect. He threw himself
in despair upon the grass.
A handsome carriage with footman and
driver in livery rolled up to the mansion
across the street-one of the row Of pal
aces which faced the park. He watched
| the automatic descent of the footman to
| open the door and watched him hand out
| the vision of loneliness in silks and laces,
crowned with beauty, youth and gracious
| ness; watched her disappear within the
massive doors of the granite mansion.
| And in his heart there welled up a great
| protest. He saw in his minds eye his
parents in the humble farm house, and
| back of them the llfetimes of toll and
! sacrifice, and he saw Jeannie with her
honest heart and her frugal ways-and
| his heart rose in rebellion. The words

It's all very well with your carriages
and your jewels and you palaces; they

night You are just grinding them out

and misfortunes leaped before him he
sprang to his feet in passion. 81 could
tear those diamonds from your white

or granite palaces. "A man does no wrong
in taking what is partly his own anyway
and, and they will not let me earn a

Then he thought for long time and
finally muttered to himself:
81 will do it, / am tired Of begging
| for chance to earn a crust: l will
tear those diamonds from her-and they
will never know who did it, They don't
know the cunning of a country boy
made mad by hunger. They will thank
me for raising the hue and cry. 1 will
| fool them and get the diamonds; and
then I will go back home and pay up the
| mortgage and marry JEANNE"
Then he lay down In the grass and

Fdrowsy hum of insects supplanting the

carriages rolled up to the door of the
palace opposite, and through the open
and brilliantly lighted windows the mar

the song-Jeannie used to sing It. oh
80 prettlly; and to sing it at him and to,
tease him in the dear old pretty way.
AND now they crowded around her
again, and how beautiful and happy she
looked. Ihey talked and laughed great

AT length they prevailed upon her for an
other song, and she returned to the piano.
Inc Man in the Park held his breath in

The Man in the Park sat still and reid
behind his clump of foliage. The tears
were streaming from his eyes. The brown
stone front and all the lights Of the house
opposite had faded from his sight and he
saw before him in veritable reality the
old home among the hills-a home where
temptation or sin could not bide, where
all was peace and rest and honestv-

Then came into the eyes of the Man in
the Park look born of the light and the
fires within him which, could the singer
have seen, and know what her voice and
music had brought into it, she would
have realized that she never before had
sang to so good purpose-and never
would again.
Then the singer came out into the
broad piazza with a handsome man, who
said:
alice, it was beautiful. It would-it
Would-redeem a man.
And he spake truer than he knew, for
the Man in the Park started that night,
afoot, hungry and tired, toward the old
home among the hills.

organization cannot yet count three birth
days. Yet it was considerably less than
three years ago that about fifty st. Paul
women met in the parlors Of the CONNER

known as the Civic league. Mrs. Condo
Hamlin, the leagues first president, and
its present president, proved herself an
energetic officer and she gathered about
her women who were not afraid of vigor-

What is the use of struggling any
longer? What is there to do that L have
not done?"
Over and over again the man asked
himself these questions as he walked
the hard pavements.
And the answer came ever back from
his despairing heart:
mo use; it's no use!''
For six months he had tried as hard
as ever an earnest man could to get
work. He had not asked that anything
be given to him. Only that he might
earn for himself that living which he
was sure the good God had meant he
should have. Day after day he had
tramped and asked for work, only to be
told in this place one reason that they
did not want him, and in that another
and in most places no reason at all, but
only short:
mo, we don't need any men,
Sometimes he was told to call again,
but it seemed to him only to mock.
Gradually he had lost the hopefulness
and the buoyancy that he started out
with when looking for work. had SEEM
ed to him only one of those dragons he
remembered reading about when a boy,
which the Prince must go out and van
quish.
But six long months had made him
forget there ever was such a thing as
q fairy tale-almost that he ever had
been boy. They had added more than
ten times six months to his life, meas
ured by the suffering they had held, and
to his back and shoulders they had given
q stoop and to his face an expression of
sullen doggedness that it had never worn
before. In that time he had become
added to that great army of men-and
more's the pity, young men, who are
always a part of a great city's restless
ufe-those looking for work; one of those
who come each year from the farm and
the village, from the peaceful country
life which they know not how to prize
to be fed to the ogre, to be sacrificed
to Mammon. even as the lamb OF the
heather worshiper is laid upon the al,
tar.
He had left the old folks in the pretty
farm on the hillside, the good old father
and mother who, in spite of hard work
and careful living, in spite of the thrifty
ways which their Scotch ancestry gave
them, had staggered and all but faller
beneath their load. Bad crops and bad
luck, sickness and death had left the
farm heavily mortgaged and none but
John to turn to. Their own power o.
work and endurance was fast falling.
John at twenty-three was what his
mother called "a fine mon" Frank OF
face and action, with a splendid physique
and honest blue eyes that looked straigh
at you, it seemed to him to the father
and mother--and, yes, to her her as vel

to Johns hand as soon as he reached the
city; as if big salaries and stocks and
bonds of great value and instantaneous
bearing investments would fall upon
John there. JEANNE was an only child
and as the farms were close together they
had grown up together. And he truly
loved this little JEANNE, who lived in thc
other pretty little home, whose white
and green freshness he could see through
the opening in the trees and hills from
the window Of his own little room. Tht

The nonsensical verses, whose clever wit
ticlsms are so many shafts aimed at
prominent civic officials, are entirely the
work of the league members, and not one
of these verses falls fat. The artistic
part of the work is as clever In Its way
as the literary part, and it, too, is the
work of woman artists, Miss Olive Long
and Miss Ellen Wheelock, of this city.
Miss Long designed the outside covers
of the calendar. The inside sketches, Of
which there are twentyfour large ones
and twelve small ones, are the joint work
OF Miss Long and Miss Wheelock. Most
of these sketches tell in picture form the
history of the leagues summer work.

clever picture Of an excursion boat start

sion across the way, and the song-he
could scarcely believe his ears, so
straight at his heart did the singer seem
to aim. He listened closer, he arose in
spite of himself and, hugging the shrub
berry close, he peered across the way
Straight to his listening ear came the
words:
THE puir aud folk at home, We ken,
And frail and falling, sair.
And well l ken, they'd miss me, lad,
If l came home nae mair.
''The grist is out, the times are lard,
The kline are only three;
cannot leave the auld folk now,
Wed better bide a Vice.
The blood of the Man in the Park
rushed back upon his heart, and through
the mist in his eyes he saw the homely
and honest features of his old father and
mother waiting patiently for his return,
confident of this that their boy was
a good boy, and would never do aught
that would make them ashamed. Mel
Their had ever done a dishonest act nor
held dishonest thought, and it came
to the Man in the Park that it would
be exceedingly hard to offer them any
portion of the price Of infamy. Dashing
his hands across his eyes with a male
diction, he peered through the foliage.
Yes, it was her, the beautiful woman
with the silks and jewels who was sing
ing, and they were crowding about her
now, speaking words of congratulation.
The Man in the Park sought desperately
to control his rebellious thoughts. Curse
it, why must she select that particular
song to amuse lot of butter1ies-that
song that set on fire all his better i'm
pulses against his plan. Hark, she is
singing again:
''John Anderson, my 10, John,
When we were first acquent,
Your locks were like the raven,
Your bonnie brow was brent;
But now your brow is beld, John,
Your locks are like the shaw;
But blessings on your frosty pow,
