The Kiss.

We were walking home together
through the fragrant fields OF June
In the sweet enchanted weather
When the earth Is all in tune;
Secrets In our hearts unspoken;
over US the blue unbroken
Save where. like a lovers token,
Hung the slender, crescent moon.
Love and Hope were mine to guide me
In the scented atmosphere
And with Beauty close beside me
Paradise itself was near;
Love was In the air: / knew 1t;
Leaves they lisped IL; breezes blew II:
And upon the grass in dew It
Mingled In the moonlight clear.
White she was-a moonlit lily
Were not lovelier to see
In Its garden boudoir Silly!
Fairer than a flower was she!
Music was her voice; her laughter
sped, as 'twere lyric shaft her
Lips let go, and Echo after
Followed US with melody.
Echo followed-so did Cupid
Whispering along the way;
could hear them murmur: Stupid.
why not kiss her when you may?
Why not tell her in the twilight
Whlle the stars and moon on high light
All the world with loves own shy light?'
Hear, my heart said, "and obeyg"
So took my hearts suggestion,
And, when next l heard sigh,
All of love went in a question
And returned In her reply;
Then came one brief, blissful minute
With first kiss tangled in IL,
Think, what luck II was to win II.

WHAT sEss HAD WRITTEN
Message Not Exactly What Father
Had Ordered,

What's that?" said the old gentle
man. as he entered while the eldest
daughter was saying things confiden-
TALLY to her mother.
"Bess was just telling me that the
young man that visited the Broketons
last summer has written her. and that
be sent love and kisses"
"IIe did, did he? The impudent
puppy. Write him and squelch him
at once, or you're no daughter Of mine.
Let him know, so there Is no possible
chance of misunderstanding, that
you have the utmost resentment for
such conduct, and IL he ever comes
here again I'll kick him out of the
house."
well, did you attend to that mat
ter, Bess?" asked the old gentleman
at breakfast next morning.
Yes"
Good. What did you say?"
Il told him very distinctly that IL
he didn't know any better than to send
such things in letter, instead Of
bringing them in person, would have
to forego the pleasure of his acquaint-
ance."
For the next five minutes the family
were terror-stricken under a convic-
ton that the head of the household
had burst a blood-vessel.

They clinched-they fought; and II
was a fight for life, there 10 the heart
of death!
The deck was cracking and steam.
ing beneath their feet; the dense
smoke blinded them; the thick air
choked them.
Higher and higher the flames were
leaping-higher and higher; closer
and closer they crept, and whirled, and
eddied round them-closer and closer.
The storm had died down. Below.
the small boat lay, and its crew
waited. A little further back a girl
stood, CHASTITY, and shiyering with
womanly horror.
And still those two in the red glare
fought, and slipped and struggled.
With a swift, sudden motion the
taller man freed himself, and lifting
his arm, struck the other down. He
swung round and held out his hand In
chivalrous assistance to Laurie Lisle.
"Comel" he cried. THE boat will
hold one more-come!"
And the hot flame scorched her
cheek as she came-came over the
deck. blackened and drenched, and
slippery with the blood spilled In her
defense
She stood before him, a white, state
ly figure, with face which looked as
though carved from marble. For the
first time he saw her fully-for the
first time, wrapped in the weird, red
light of the blazing ship, he recognized
her.
He flung out his arms with a cry-a
yearning, joyous, agonized cry. that
walled out over the waters:
Il aurie Laurie! On, my darling
my darling!"
Give"
For one instant the light in his eyes
illuminated her own; for one moment
of blind joy her face was glorious; for
one second she was unconscious Of
misery. and danger, and death--uncon.
scious of all save that he was with her
her lover! And that she loved him.
she loved him. she loved him!
For one brief second only, then she
staggered back from his outstretched
arms, with shuddering sob of hor-
ror. She flung out her hands as If to
keep him from her; she turned her
white, wild face away from him.
"Oh, no, no, mol" she painted hoarse-
ly, Historically. Better death than
life at your hands-better death! oh,
my God. better DEATH"

thing he had said, "the old songs are

Beautiful" he exclaimed, enthusi-

are trash, the veriest trash"
II agree with you, yet the old songs
sometimes contain sentiments that

There is John Howard Payne's Home,
Sweet Home for instance. You surely
do not agree with all the sentiments
1t contains?"
why not?" he asked warmly. "Why
not?"
Because" she said, glancing at the
clock, which was marking the hour
of eleven, because there is a line
in that song which says There's no

that, do your"

and arose and went silently out into

Man Of Wealth Who Would Have No
Reproduction Of His Paintings
The attendants in the art gallery Of
a department store in Brooklyn were
startled the other day to see a man
deliberately destroy two pictures that
he had just purchased at a cost Of
SAT. The man is wealthy and aims to
have a collection OF art objects that
have no duplicates. He had pur.
chased In the art gallery that was the
scene of his vandalism a painting for
which he paid 81 600 After it was sent
home he was showing it to a friend,
who, knowing the collectors weak.

auctions of the painting in the same
gallery, one priced at $35 the other sl2

collector, and when you get them
break them up. I'll give you check
for SAT before you go home"
The friend declined the task, so the
collector went to the store himself
pointed out the two pictures, and
after he had paid for them destroyed
them on the spot.
This same man ordered table with
a carved top, for which he paid $500
and after 1t had been finished he went
to the artist who had designed II and
stood by him while he destroyed the
original drawings for the table, That

Now It's the Deadly Toothbrush.

Now the toothbrush has been put UNI
der the ban of the medical experts. A
British authority comes out with the
statement that in addition to carrying
germs concealed among its bristles, it
is one of the causes of appendicitis.
The germs can be killed by washing
the brush in an antiseptic solu-
ton, II admitted, but 1t Is not
so easy to get rid OF appendicitis. This
dread. but fashionable malady, Is
caused, says the British physician, by
the bristles becoming loosened. being
swallowed and lodging in the appen-
dix. Thus far no suggestion has been
made for substitute for the tooth
brush.-New York Press.
