THE BISHOPS
az BEARD ~
BY c. sEwELL.

afDARDON me- said the quiet man
in the corner, suddenly, Il am
about to make a singular request"
DR.. BigWorth, bishop of Steadmin-
ster, put down his paper and stared
haughtily over his spectacles at his
vis-a-vis. He made it q rule never to
enter into conversation with strangers
on a long railway journey. Generally
speaking, he didn't even deign to no.
tice their existence; but on this occa-
sion he had remarked, with a feeling
as much akin TO irritation as his SUI
perior code permitted, that the mar
who sat opposite possessed a flowing
beard of quite unusual length and ex-
treme sickness.
Now, DR.. Bigworth's solitary weak
ness happened to be pride in his beard
hence the animosity. 1t certainly
was a singularly handsome one. So
ciety papers. devoted whole paragraphs
to its honor. 1t had become as much
a part of his personality as the collars,
orchids and eyeglasses that are from
time to time associated with other
celebrities.
That a -stranger-and a somewhat
seedy stranger to boot-should pre-
sumo to exhibit such a possession, too,
was something in the nature of a lib
erty. No wonder, therefore, that the
bishop had looked more severe and re-
pressiye than usual.
Truth to tell, he was not in the best
Of tempers that morning. He had
risen at six and swallowed his coffee
and egg hurriedly by gas-light, to the
accompaniment of suppressed yawns
from q very sleepy butler; and there
i. Is som sstth.iiss Sc sa.tst.sss..s; y Lacking IL: IN aiigs
nifty about q scrambled breakfast be-
fore seven!
But he had pressing business in Lon
don, and an early train to catch, SO
he had left Mrs. Bishop snoring peace
fully, and had ensconced himself in the
corner OF an empty frst-class, hoping
las there was no stop for two hours
for privacy. And then just at the last
- mute an ~annlogetic guard had hustled
In this mar with tho beard and
slammed the door.
Naturally, when he ventured to
speak, the bishop surveyed him with
chilling disapproval.
Indeed, sir?" he said, coldly, in re-
ply to the intruder S remark. The man
in the corner did not follow up his
first observation for asmoment or two.
He took out his watch and looked at
1T. Then he raised his eyes
There's no stop for an hour and so
minEtes," he announced, politely.
MY I point out to you, to save any
subsequent misunderstanding, that YOU
are some little distance from the com
mnnicating cord?s The bishops stern
grey eyes opened a little wider than
usual, but he still preserved his d
posure, though an unpleasant sensa-
lion like the trickling Of cold water

THE LESSON OF THE LEAVES


The autumn lay in glory on the slopin' OF
the hills
All SO fancy-red an yellow, gold an
brown
AS if a mighty evenin' tide was settlin'
An the sGn azsiaedain' lights a-goln'
down.
Oh, the rUstlin' of them leaves
AS they fell from off the trees.
A-dancin' an a prancin' to the music Of
the breeze;
An our hearts a-keepin' time
To the laughin' Of the rhyme
A-listenin' TO the rustlin' of them leaves.
With the glory round she whispered to me
sayin' / vas dear. Il
An talked gentle-like al p~retty-like
an true,
Bout oug love heln' all bright colors like
the mountains stretchin' near,
With the grace of God a-touchin' every
hue.
oh, the rustlin' of them leaves {
AS we walked among the trees.
A-blowin' an tip-toein' to the singin' OF
the breeze;
And we two fondly dreaInin'
OF the day so sWeet-like seemin'-
A-listenin' to the rustlln' of them leaves.
A n while the autumn on the hills was
yet a-lookin' grand,
An time SO happy passin' quick along,
A shadow sudden 'peared to come an
cover all the land,
An fallin' on my heart put out it's song.
Oh, the rustiin' of them leaves
AS I prayed beneath the trees, .
Begged the angels send II hope a-soundin'
on the breeze; au a
As DER my darlin' bendin'
/ fought the death impendin'-
A-ltstenin' to the rustlin' of them leaves.
But when the day was CROWN dim she
said, low-like to me-:
Tn goin', love, long with the sunset
tide; -.
A-crossin' of the Bar--its shimmerin's I
An the mornin' light upon the other
side
Oh, the rustlln' of them leaves,
Dove the graves beneath the trees,
Like wfisperiI's Of II blessin' from a
spirit in the breeze;
While from DER the evenin' hill
Come the echo-"Peace, sbe stiil!"-
A-Iistenin' to the rustlin' of them leaves.
