CHAPTER NNJV

NliAl -NNiN
Over the New England hills the hazy
light of n most glorious Indian summer
was shining while the forest trees. in
their gorgeous array of crimson and gold,
lifted their tall heads as proudly as if
they heard not in the distance the voice
of coming sorrows and the signing Of
winter winds The birds had flown to
their Southern home, where | fondly
hoped to meet them, for | was to be a
bride-Richard's bride-and the day for
my bridal had come. We had been tv-
rywhere--Richard and all over the
old Sunny Bank farm, sacred to Inc for
the many hallowed associations which
clustered round 1t, and very, very dear
| to him because it was my chldhood's
home. So he told me when we stood for
the last time beneath the spreading
grape vine, and | pointed out to him
the place where, years before, / had lain
in the long green grass and wept over
the fickleness of one who was naught
to me now save near friend.
Together we had sat in the old brown
school house-he in the big arm chair,
and but no matter where | sat--when
| told him of the little romping girl with
yellow hair, who had there first learned
to con the alphabet and 70 trace on the
gayly colored maps the boundary of
Georgia, little dreaming that her home
would one day be there. Then when |
showed him the bench where | had lain
when the faintness came over me, he
wound his arm closer around me--thougl
wherefore do not know. Together, too
we had gone over the old farm house, h,
lingering longest in the room where
was born, and when he thought didn'
see him, gathering withered leaf from
the rose bush which grew beneath tn,
window, and which ! told tiu | haC

A Lost Chord.
Seated one day at the organ,
| was weary and i'll at ease,
And my fingers wandered idly
Over the noisy keys
| do not know what | was playing
Or what | was dreaming then,
But | struck one chord Of muse
Like the sound of great Amen.
1t flooded the crimson twilight,
Like the close of an angels psalm,
And it lay on my fevered spirit,
With touch of infinite calm
1t quoted pain and sorrow,
Like love overcoming strife
1t seemed the harmonious echo
From our discordant lie.
1t linked all perplcXed meana-s
Into one perfect peace
And trembled away into silence
AS if it were loath to cease.
have sought, but seek it vainly,
That one lost chord divine.
That came from the soul of the organ
And entered into mine
1t may be that Deaths bright angel
Will speak in that chord again;
1t may be that only in heaven
! shall hear that grand Amen.

Beyond Help.

One of the street philanthropists
who always has an eye and ear for
childish troubles stopped to comfort
a stout little boy who was filling the
air with lamentations.
What IS the matter, you little
dear?" she asked, solicitously.
"M-my b-brothers got vacation
and-and | haven't" roared the ar
fiicted one at last
p "What a shame!" said the com
fortei. Then you don't go to the
same school, of course"
"I-I don't go to school an-anywhere
YETI! came from the little boy with
fresh burst of sorrow. r,
