TIRED.

l am so tircd-so wearily tired.
Never was slave for profit hired
And worked like brute, till he longed to die,
More thoroughly, utterly tired than 1.
Tired in whole, and tired in part,
Tired in body, and mind. and heart.
Tired of trying to do the right,
OF keeping the Heavenly goal in sight;
Tired of losing what would keep,
Tired of sewing for others to reap;
Tired Of endless struggle and strife,
Tired of living this wearisome life.
Not ill-and tenderly put to bed,
And petted and soothed, and daintily fed,
Not crippled and lame-and waited on
With loving compassion by every one;
n OF stricken with sorrow and lOss-and retired
From gaze Of cold eyes-no, nothing but-tred.
Too tired of all existe. ce brings
To lift one thought to higher things;
Too tired to take, too tired to see
The rare, ricr gifts that come to me
Gods wondrous gifts Of earth and sky
Pa ssed thankless ard unheeded by.
Many and precious the promises
God gives to waiting souls that are His;
Promises only our God could make,
That He will not forget, and cannot break.
But none to me 30 sweet and blest
As this And l will give you rest.''

The Story Of Santos.

You asked me to tell you a story,
Caro-. Before my master, the Senor
Americana, went home (and he did
not live long after that, for indeed he
had the tisis and his cough was bad)
he called me to him one day.
Santos he said, "yon have been a
good and faithful servant, and ! want
to do something for you before I 60
away. l have sent for you so you can
tell me how 1 may best help you.'
Then opened my heart to the kind
senor, and told him wanted bit of
land and house of my own; and he
said he would see about it, the good
master.
A week later We drove out in the
country, four miles from the railroad
and the store, till We came to some
fields sloping down to the river, and
the senor showed me the land he had
bought for me. Then was my heart
glad, and Pedro, your father, Caro-,
and [ went to work with a will; and
we built little house where we soon
went to live and where you were born.
l found plenty to do in those days,
what with picking cotton in season
and tending herds of cattle for the
rancheros, and planting my own little
garden, my time was we'll taken up.
I have said our house was on the
banks of the beautiful Guadaloupe-a
lovely river that was rarely 50 deep
but it could be forded-its waters
dashing over stony bed and winding
in and out of the country-here sur
rounded by steep banks and rocky
cliffs, and anon passing through low
lying lands, everywhere bordered by
magnificent trees and bushes of mes
quite, the long branches and vines in
some places dipping into the water,
making scene Of fairy-like enchant-
ment. l can see you, Caro-, a little
child, with bare, brown legs, padding
in the water and shouting for joy as
you tried to make believe a fish. And
then | see other scenes; the Sundays
and festas when your mother and
grandmother and you and l would
walk down the river to where we had
erected little shrine to Our Blessed
Lady. | carved the figure, Caro-, and
your mother dressed it; perhaps those
who 60 to the great cathedrals would
say it was ugly and poor; but we did
not think of that when we knelt down
to say the "Pater" and "Ave," for God
and His Holy Mother seemed very
near in our little temple whose roof
was the blue sky. We had lived thus
for thee happy years, when got
work to do for German ranchero who
had the large hacienda just above our
field. A beautiful place it was, O.
hundreds of acres, and on the brow O..
the hill right near the long, steep road
that led from the river, was the ranch
ero house, that looked more like an old
mission building than anything else.
1t was built of stone, one story hi gh,
nearly 100 feet long and covered with
whitewash.
Here and there were small, square
Windows, set deep in the stone, and all
across the front of the house was a

yard, and back of the house were the
fields full of herds Of cattle all enclos ed
in miles of barbed wire fence. Still
further west were acres of land, on
which grew the grape vines that were

him, then with roar that was heard

horns and threw it high in the air.
continuing on its mad run until it was
lassoed by Pietro before more harm
was done.
1t was l who picked up the little
child from where he had fallen in a
nearby field. Thank God, Caro-, the
bull had not gored the tender little
limbs, but the tossing and the fall had
been enough, and when l knelt down
by him he was dead.
Retribution had come, and the Al
mighty was just. I looked up and
felt no surprise to see the Senorita
Elsa, as, with heart-brokcn cry, she
took her child in her arms. She had
willed to be as dead to her father, and
now her child was dead to her, and it
was her child, undoubtedly, who had.
been the means of saving the masters
life; the bull, attracted by the little
ones red garment, had made straight
for him, passing the poor master by.
The blind Senor drew near as these
thoughts rushed through my mind.
Did he know what it all was and would
the shock break his heart? I heard
the Senorita turn to him and say
"Father, it is 1, Elsa, forgive, oh, for
give!'
And then the master looked grand
and triumphant, like the Archangel
Michael, I thought, or like Gabriel,
the Angel of Revelation.
my child, my little Elsa, is it thou?"
he said, in his rich, deep voice. "Come
to thy fathers heart. I knew it all
long ago, child. l overheard Herman.
dez and Santos tell of thy fight. I
have watched for thee, my little Elsa,
my poor, dear little child"
Oh, my dear, blind master. The
tears rained from my eyes, and I was
not bit ashamed as I saw him hold
out his arms and gather his lost one in
an embrace that seemed as if he would
never let her go. Surely love and
love alone is deathless and eternal.
| X
There is not much more to tell, Caro-.
We laid the little child to the chanting
of the "Alleluia" and the "De Pro.
fundis,' for the Senorita Elsa in her
sorrow and remorse during those five
years had become a Catholic. Her
husband had died and she was return
ing like a prodigal child, when the
swift tragedy robbed her of her little
one.
thought her stricken beyond re-
demption, but she was young still,
Caro-, and by and by she lifted her
dropping head again, and then was the
dear master msde happy when he was
called on to bless her union with the
Senor Enrique Hernandez.
Over beyond the hills they live still,
the Senor, his wife and their children !,
for the master has long since gone to
his reward.
Happy" do you say? Oh yes; as
happy as we can be in this world,
Caro-, and I think that somewhere be-
yond the stars the little child and the
master are happier even than they

abundant proof that catarrh is . con.

how any sufferer can put off taking
this medicine, in view of the widely
published record of it's radical and
