Her eyes were like those of hunt

great longing to go-to get away

Some way his kindly heart was
aching for her with the remembrance
of that swift, wistful glance of the
brown eyes into his own, and he
would comfort her if he could.
She did not lcok at him; her gaze
was fixed on the pines away on the
mountain behind which the sun was
setting. But he knew she heard and
would answer presently.
Il came to see about the mare she
said, slowly, her eyes still fastened on
the pines upon the height. Then sud.

him, she added:

arose from the valley far beneath,

PRESBYOPIA is a failure Of the accommo-

well informed persons now procure glasses for

no normal eye is exempt. The prejudice that it
