THE SONG OF SONGS.

Tie song that shines the brightest far
In memory's golden crown,
[ sang it for You long ago,
"Just as the sun went down.
A dear old song of the Sunny South
Is the sweetest song | know;
Well, then I'll go along with you
''Down where the cotton blossoms
grow"
Twas in the days of long ago,
Fair days that have gone by,
That | met you and you met me.
When comm thro' the rye"
l love my country songs the best,
To them | would be true;
Then let us sing Of liberty,
And the old Red, white and blue"
The song that's dearer far to me,
Wher'er in life | roam;
Upon the land or on the sea,
Well sing of CLONE, sweet home"
There il song to me most dear,
Though it makes the heart throbs
culver,
1t is the song of those we love,
way down upon the Suannee river
The world j., full of melody,
And life sings itself into rhyme;
Wen forget all our woes, as every one
knows
In the good old summer time"
There is a song that love best,
! love it, every word;
Wher'er | go on land or sea,
III Listen to the hooking bird"
The song that | would carve tonight
From out of nusic's quarry,
Would be the one that ! love best,
My own sweet "Annie Laurie"
| never was a bride, you see,
But then / hope some day to be.
Please let me sing ooh, promise me-"
The song / love the best,
No doubt you'll think is spoony;
Although I'm not quite sure you know,
| think tits "Annie Rooney
The song / love I'm sure
Is not a tunelss ditty;
Why, tits the song that love, too,
1t is the "Eoly City"

1t would have been impossible to

CHAPTER III.
An Unexpected Opening.


Ventimore made his way to Cot
tesmore Gardens that evening in a
highly inconsistent. not to say cha
otto, state of mind. The thought that
he would presently see Sylvia again
made his blood course quicker, while
he was fully determined to say no
more to her than civility demanded.
At one moment he was blessing
Professor Futvoye for his happy
thought in making use of him; at an
other he was bitterly recognizing that
it would have been better for his
peace of mind if he had been left
alone. Sylvia and her mother had no
desire to see more of him; if they
had. they would have asked him to
come before this.
The more often he saw Sylvia the
more she would make his heart ache
with vain longing-whereas he was
getting almost reconciled to her in
difference; he would very soon be
cured if he didn't see her.
When he got to Cottesmore Gar
dens. and was actually at the door
of the Futvoye's house, he began tc
feel craven hope that the pro-
fessor might be out. in which case
he need only leave the catalogue.
And. as it happened, the professor
was out and Horace was not so glad
as he thought he should be. The
maid told him that the ladies were
in the drawing room. and seemed tC

Mrs. Futvoye brusquely. I'VE hear'

listen at the phone while he killed
his wife and himself at their home in

A stunt they'll hurry through.
Since Admiral Bob is in the game
We ask what will HE do?
The Turk may shoot and the Jap may
loot
And they both may fight it out,
But since OUR Bob got in the game
The tenor of our shout
Is: what will happen to the bunch

In well-remembered fight.

Crystal and Pope stood together
near the long tiller over which Bobbin
was hanging, gazing at the scene

Presently the sloop was within an
easy pull OF Margate town. Here Cap
tain Pope brought her to a stand, and
The boat was launched Pope and Crys-

to so ashore, get the plate, and sail

A bar was thrust into the keyhole,

Immediately, amid great noise of the
rending of bolts and the splintering
Of wood, the door few open. There
was no light In the night to flow in
through the doorway, and the passage
was in pitch darkness. Pope, though
not a professional burglar, had pro
vided for this, He pulled out OF his
pocket little engine whose invention
belonged to that age. 1t consisted OF
trigger and a flint, and when the
trigger leaped clear fame sprang.
At this flame the Captain lighted a
piece OF candle.
He then sprang up narrow stair

which of the two doors that stood be-
fore him belonged to his aunt's room;
he entered, and by his candlelight saw
the figure of the poor old lady
stretched in a 1T upon her back on
the door. Alas, poor old Miss Horn
byI her seventy-one years could not
support the shock of a burglary, and
she lay as dead IN a swoon in her
nightgown and nightcap.
Pope dragged down the window
bnnd and lighted candle in stick,
then, casting glance at tho lean
high perched nose that shot out be-
twixt the closed eyes and the disor-
dsaed frills Of the nightcap, he seized
the candleatick and ran to the door.
Voices were to be heard upstairs.
