voice is still my ears; your eyes still looking
into mine gravely yet half smilingly sweetly yet
half provokingly. Oh, how dear and human and
grlish and queenly you are-half saint and
half very womanly woman And how 1 love you

soul and brain, every fiber of body and spirit

never know it. You would not even wish to know
it, for nothing to you but of many friends,
coming into your life briefly and passing ott of it,
of no more account to you than a sunshny hour,
a birds song, a bursting bud in your garden But
the hour and the bird and the flower gave you
little delight in their turn and when you rernem-
bered them once before forgetting, that their
reward and blessing. That is all l ask, dear lady,
and l ask that only in my own heart. l content

you and be forgotten than it would be to love any
other woman and live in her lifelong remembrance

Dear lady, goodnight. The sun has set; there

mists coming up over the
A kiss each of your white hands dear. To-
night l too humble to lift my thoughts to your
lips"
The schoolmaster folded up his letter and held it
against his cheek for little space while he gazed
out the slver-shining with his dark eyes full
of dreams. Then he took from his shabby trunk
a little inlad box and unlocked it with twisted
silver key 1t was full of letters-his letters to
Una. The first had been written months ago, in
the early promise of a northern spring They
linked together the golden weeks of the summer
Now, in the purple autumn, the box full and
the schoolmaster's term nearly ended.
He took out the letters reverenty and looked
over them, and then murmuring below his
breath some passages scattered through the written
pages. He had laid bare his heart in those letters
writing out what he never could have told to her.
even if his love had been known and returned, for
dead and gone generations of stern repressed fore
fathers laid their unyelding fingers of reserve on
his lips and the shyness of dreamy book-bred
youth stemmed the language of eye and tone.
q will love you forever and ever And even
though you know it not surely such love will
hover around you all your life like an invisible
benedicton, not understood but dinly felt guard
ing you from i'll and keeping far from you all things
and thoughts of harm and evil!
Sometimes l let myself dream. And in those
dreams you love me, and go out to meet life
together l have dreamed that you kissed me-
dreamed it so reverently that the dream did your
womanhood wrong. | have dreamed that you
put your hands in mine and said 1 love you

and for the sake of loving and serving that l
have the right to love you"
Il have the memory of a blush of yours-a rose
of the years that will bloom forever in my garden
of remembrance. Tonight you blushed when came
upon you suddenly among the flowers. You
startled-perhaps | had broken too rudely some
girlish musing; and straightway your round, pale
curve of cheek and your white arch of brow
made rosy as with the dawn of beautiful sunrise.

In my mad moments | shall dream, knowing all
the while that it is only a dream, that you bushed

with just what
measure of pain
and joy it would
brim my cup, |

was to them
that he dared to write Them straight out of his full
heart taking the exquisite pleasure of SO telling
her what he never could permit himself to tell her
face to face. Every evening he wrote thus to her,
and the hour so spent gloriied the entire day.
The rest of the hours-all the other hours of the
commonplace day-he was merely poor school
master with long struggle before him, who
might not lift his eyes to gaze a star. But at
this hour he was her equal meeting her soul to SOUL
telling out might all his great love for her,
and wearing the jewel of it on his brow. What
wonder indeed, that the precious hour which made
him king, crowned with mighty and unselfsh
passion above all things sacred to him?
and doublv sacred when, as tonight, it followed
upon hour spent with her? It's mingled
delight and pain were almost more than he
could bear
He went through the kitchen and the hall and
up the narrow staircase with glory in his eyes
that thus held from seeing his sordid
roundngs Link Housenan, sprawled out the
platform before the kitchen door, saw him pass
with that rapt face and chuckled Link was i'll
enough to look at any time with his sharp frecked
features and foxy eyes. When he chuckled his face
was that of an unholy imp.
But the schoolmaster took no heed of him.
Neither did he heed the girl whom he met in the
hall Her handsome sulen face flushed crimson
under the sting of his utter disregard and her black
eyes followed him up the stairs with look that

Upstairs, in his little room, the schoolmaster
writing his letter The room was as bare and
graceless all the other rooms of the farm house
where he had boarded during his term of teaching;
but it looked out the sea, and hung with
such priceless tapestry of his iris dreams and visions
that it to him apartment in a royal
palace. From it he gazed afar on bays that
like great cups of sapphire trimming with
ruby wine for gods to drain, on headlands that
of amethyst, wide sweeps of sea that were blue
and far and mysterious; and the moan and
call of the oceans heart up to his heart as
of one great, hopeless love and longing crying out
to another love and longing great and hopeless.
And here, in the rose-radiance of the sunset, with
the seamusic in the dim air, he wrote his letter to
her.

Some yican La vvs.

A Topeka man who recently toured Mexico tells that they have some very curious criminal laws down there. For aXample, the statutes make it twice as much of an offense to mutilate the face of a woman as that Of a man. While in the City of Mexico he attended court one day and saw man sentenced to one year in prison for cutting his para-
 mour across tf'e face with knife. IT his victim had been a man the sentence wnuldf not have been more than four months at the outside. The law seems to be based on the idea that wsman's best possession is her beautYsand that to mar itGdoes her great injHry. There is another curious law. If a person should be wounded in an encounter the to the offender is fixed by the number of days his victim has to stay in, the hospital or under aodoftprs care. A line is fixed at 40 days in the way of a general division. If, the$ in jured man occupies more than 40. day $ in his recovery the penalty doubles, up: AS we understand the Topeka man these are not court customs, but statu- tory nactments.AKansas City Jour- nal. ,.,s %.-4t.o

HABITS OF SPEECH.
Faulty Language Used tn Child. hood Is Hard to Correct i'm
 After Life.

''Why do educated parents allow their children to contract habits of un- grammatical speech that will have to be conquered in after-life?" asked a spin ster of a mother.
 Because they hate to worry the poor little things about such matters when they are young and should be care free. It seems cruel to be all the time cor recting them and keeping them on their good behavior. They will have to learn the rules of our dreadful language all too soon as it is."
 Yes said the spinster, and in ad- dition to learning to speak properly they will have to unlearn the tricks of speech in which they have been allowed ts indulge all their little lives. Iknow," laughing, that there is much ridicule of old maids children but I believe that my theory in this case is correct. + is a positive unkindness to let your child double his negatives and say 'ain't.' when several years from now he will be harshly reproved for such lapses. The child must learn to talk. anyway, and is it not as easy to teach him to say Tt is l. as It's me?' And is it not as simple for the little tongue to lisp I saw it. as I seen it?' I love baby talk, and should not correct a child for his mispronunciation of hard words, AS he grows older he will himself see his mistakes in that line and change them. But I insist that 1t is parents duty to make the difficult path to gram matical speech as easy as possible by from it in the beginning. g."-Harper's HaZar.
