THE MIDNIGHT DUET.

The hot and sweltering day was done;
The twilight hour had come and gone:
The plain. all nathed in silvery moon
beams lay.
As hushed and still as primal day.
From out that silence came no sound.
Till high and clear, as from the ground.
CntremblIng. quivering, thrilling. notes.
The coyotes echoing tenor floats
He stood outlined agains: me sky,
And sobbed his tender. pleading cry,
And somewh here on the rnoon-iit plain.
She hides and hears the pleading strain.
At last her clear soprano floats,
Unanswering, thrilling. loving notes,
Far out across the quiet plain,
And then again his pleading strain.
stood with wildly beating heart.
And listened to the wierd duet
And. somewhere In my throbbing heart.
A wild and kindred chord was touched.

Things You

ARGUS AND HIS HUNDRED EYES
Argus was one of the NEUROLOGICAL heroes
of Ovid. and was tabled to have hundred
eyes. of which two only slept in success
sion. On this account Juno sent him 10
watch 10; when Mercury by the command
OF Jupiter Iulled Argus to sleep with the
music of his flute. and then killed him.
Juno then transferred Argus eyes to the
tail of the peacock.

doors, the knocker strikes. II is therefore
