THE GROWN UNWON.

Whose endureth to the end"
So long ago the word was spoken;
Hearts fail and bowed heads earthward
bend,
Yet who shall say the pledge is broken?
Brave eyes may read the promise still,
Though writ in lines of pain and loss,
The path lies onward up the HILL
Though every milestone be a cross.
Long time ago my soul and I
Converse and counsel held together,
When clear and bright youths morning
sky
Flushed rosy in the summer weather;
'Soul," said /, many a pathway fair,
Waiting thy choice. before thee lies;
Think long, choose well. then proudly dare
Thine utmost might to win the prize
And so we looked. my soul and I.
And many a fair, false joy refusing
Beheld at last serene and high,
The crown of her supremest choosing,
And on it fixed our steadfast gaze.
While the bright. joyous wizard, Hope,
Through all those bounteous summer
days,
Drew one delicious horoscope.
But summer hours fade fast away,
And the dear crown, above my winning,
Here in the twilight of my day
Cleans far as in my bright beginning;
And now Hopes eyes are dim and sad,
And Doubt and Grief walk close beside;
And many a joy that erSt | had
In this long toll has dropped and died.
And yet ! know my souls true good
Lies still, lies ever, there before me;
/ could not turn me if | would,
Though clouds and darkness gather
Ger me.
And though I fail and though I die
Far from my goal, my crown unwon,
No meaner star can tempt the eye
That once has known the steadfast sun.
So on press up that steep slope,
Behind whose brow that sun is setting;
i walk with Faith, and not with Hope,
Despairing not and not forgetting;
But, when the last brief breath is sped
/ shall not grieve if this man write:
"He strove--he failed-and he is dead,
True always to his highest light"
Barton Gray. in Atlanta Constitution.

them, not to let any one notice you're
flush of cash, either by paying it into
bank or by blueing it too prominent

suspicion, and has led to the discovery
of many a crime"

More likely for bad he laughed.
Crime, like poverty, brings one into
strange company. How you, and. for

Number Seven, for Number One, who
put you up for election to the council,

by my non-committal reply of You're

ton abruptly.
"A meeting of the council is to be
held here to-day week at five in the
afternoon. Until then | need not bur-
den you with my company, as | have
nothing sfurther to discuss. If you
choose to remain here until then as my
guest, you are at liberty to do so. Or
YOU are at liberty TO go. Which is it

it had better be go" and said so.

further to prove his zeal by striking
what / am bound TO confess seems to
me peculiarly daring and deadly blow
at royalty and at the aristocracy. We
who constitute this council are paid
to wage war against the upper classes

Yes! yes," interposed Councillor
Number Six rather testify, being an
noyed, perhaps, at the reference which

Number Two took the interruption

Very well, my friend" he said,
good-humoredly, Il don't want to in
flict too many details upon you, I'm
sure. Only as we all share the re-

promised him to put briefly before you
1t is, as you know, most necessary that
we should impress our numerous sub
scribers in this country and in America
with our activity. Unless we keep our
selves well before them and before the
public, subscriptions will assuredly
fall off. Nothing has been done for
some time in the way of striking a
blow at the monarchy or at the aris-
heads which we set up before our own
particular public-just as Snowman
sets up the ever-familiar figure of
Aunt Sally at country fairs-in order
that the public in question may dump
down money for shying at it. The pub
lie dearly loves some sort of Aunt
Sally 10 shy at, and in general way
the Aunt Sallies are not very much the
worse. But wise Snowman who
wishes to keep the coin coming in,
humors his public, and takes care that
every now and then one of the many
cudgels that are thrown shall catch
the old lady full in the face, and per-
haps bash her features as well as break
the pipe in her mouth. That makes
the throwers feel that they are getting
something for the money, and it keeps
the coin coming in.
We'll, we've had two tries at the
popular Aunt Sallies' lately, and each
time we have missed The first time
was when we tried to blow up that
best-hated men in England, Lord Gran
thorpe, and the second was the failure
of our jubilee programme for hosting
the queen and the royal family sky
high. 1t wasn't our fault that we
failed We know now, though we didn't
then, that our failures were due to
treachery, and if any proof were need
ed that it was SO, it is, think, to be
found in the fact that the very first
we undertake, after we have
rid ourselves of the traitor, turns out
a complete success. II that female
Judas who pulled the linch-pin out of
our plans for the blowing up of Lord
Cranthorpe's place and for celebrat-
inc the jubilee on quite another way
than her majesty intended, had been

Number Two was sufficiently recov-
cred to preside at the reassembling of
the syndicate. After greetings had
been exchanged and inquiries had been
made in regard to his health, he came
to the point without further delay.
"Our newly elected councillor, Mr.
lubbock, who celebrated his advent
to the council by successfully accom-
plishing the carrying off of the money
which had been sent from Germany to
furnish sinews of war for the dock

that exploit, but is burning to distin-
guish himself still further in the serv-
