MOONLIGHT IN THE DESERT.


We saw the moon ascend the skies
AS though 10 music chorded deep
Sweet. guper-earthy harmOuies
Swept through the great, calm mans OF
Sleep.
Then in ethereal equipoise
II seemed 10 hang, 4 bubble blown
OF tenuous gold, as pure as JOY S
First ecstasy in Eden known
And 10, a miracle. for all
That arid waste. compact of gloom,
And unto desolation thrall
Was as a garden grit with bloom.
TopaZ and veined amethyst
The paths that wendell up and down;
And in veil of violet mist
The distances appeared TO drown.
Despite we knew that dawn would snow
But hideous sand-blight to our eyes,
So strong the spell it was as though
We stood in Allah's paradise.

everything had favored this journey with

school girl friend in Plymouth, and she
had arranged to spend a couple Of weeks

but the short springy turf met the eye

gables, the twisted chimney stacks, the
mullioned windows of Tremaine Court

illusions to some terrible episode in his
past life, the inquiries" which Hargrave
Denton had been making at Bodmin, all

might be this hidden danger they were
safer in London than any where. When
they got back she would lose no time in

she had noticed several times a certain
restlessness and constant reference tc

way his thoughts we're tending. Besides

health. He walked firmly, his healthy
brown complexion had returned, his voice
was firm and clear, his eye was bright.
