ONE OF THE HEROES.

Hoe Is n song of n hero:
lie ~ one of the many whose names
Are not and never will be- written
On the scroll we refer to as t'amc's;
lie has never rushed, cheering, to battle,
He has never plunged into the wave
To rescue n child or II woman,
Yet he ought to be named with tho
brave;
Each night he goes home to a scolding.
To hear the old story again
OF the talent he lacks and his failure
To claim the attention OF men.
Each morning he goes 20 his duties
still striving to win and still proud.
still waiting for Fate to permit him
Some day to work up from the crowd:
Each day he goes patiently toiling
And signing alone. IL he signs
His sorrows are his ami his only:
Hope still Is aglcain in his eyes;
In spite of the wcarisome scolding
And grumbling he goes to at night,
He faces the world In the morning
Az though all his dreams had been
bright.
with never = mortal TO praise him
For what h" has done or has tried,
lie Stlll has an honest ambition
And still In his breast he has pride.
with never the hope Of receiving
Approval at home he can stiil,
with his sorrows all carefully hidden,
Toll on with "A conqucror's will;
SO here IS a song of n hero,
Bat one OF the many whose names
Ar" not and will never be written
on the scroll We refer to M %l'ainc's.

"Eh?'

She seemed disappointed. | put my
pipe back between my teeth and pulled
my cap further over my eyes, yet not
so far as to shut her ont of vision.
She was very lovely. She wore white
things. Her sleeves were rolled M to
her clbows-I could see the dimples Oc-
caslonally-and her hat. a broad, flap
ping thing OF white cloth with a scarf

Helen drew in her line drcamily,
scOwled ferOciOusly at finding the bait
intact and dropped it back again into
the smooth green water. Then she
folded her wet, brown hands on the
gunwale and stared thoughtfully
across the harbor. She was very love
~. The sun made glints of copper in
her brown hair. Behind her, half a
mile away, was the beach, golden in The
morning sunlight; above it the green
clad bluff, topped by the hldcous,
vcranda-mad hotel. over all was a
cloudless blue sky. About us was the
sea, green around the boat, blue fur
Their away, shot with dazzling necks
and burs Of sunlight.
From the beach came the soft
hus-s-sh Of the tiny waves. Afar or
a locomotive shrickcd shrilly. Seven
silvcry chimes fioated across from the
cleaning white yacht in front of the
clubhouse, and were echoed over and
over by smaller craft. Under my head

bow.

If a thoughtful woman were asked,
E'What is the greatest curse Of your
sex?' she might well answer, '.Im-
pulse.' It is responsible for almost
all the mistakes made by the good
hearted among us. May it not safely
be said that few minutes thought
before speech or action would pre-
vent most fatal blunders? Many of
us are in positive bondage-quick-
ness to feel, to show our feelings,
to retort or to respond. If we are
hurt we must Immediately give our
selves away as the phrase runs, if
not by bitter speech, at least by look
and manner, yet reflection frequent
ly brings the, keenest regret for lost
dignity, the betrayed secret or other
i'll results.-Home Magazine.

down to the; dining room with him.
The two men sat. down at q little ta-
bic and a good dinner was ordered.
Between and during courses they dis
cussed the business in hand. Almost
all the tables were filled and they
talked with the freedom and security
which comes; from the presence Ola
large and noisy crowd. p >:+-.. =.
"Now I think" said the lawyer,
that you had better send over to-
morrow and pay the 100000 for that
forty feet. You've really got to have
it., sooner or later, and every day you
put off the purchase makes It more
likely that the price will, go up. If it
ever gets out that you intend to cover
the whole block with a single build
ing you'll have to pay more than
twice as much for the property. AS a
matter of fact, you could better af-
ford to pay 100000 for the piece than
to have your whole plan spoiled by
not getting it. You can't build a de-
cent-loolzing building and leave that
little squat four-story building in the
middle of it. It would look like the
deuce. My advice is to buy the prop
erty at 100000 and buy it now"
At the next table to the lawyer and
the promoter sat a young man who
just then was the proud possessor of
an even $4,000. His ears were quick
and he strained them to catch every
word that was said. Presently he left
the table and the room.
AS the result of the lawyers argu-
ment the man from Chicago was final
