Natural query as to Habitat of Ath-

Mrs. MacLean was one of those
women who speak their mind at any
cost. She did it as girl, continued
the habit as a young wife, and did not
give it up when she had daughters
who stood in need of advice
One day she was visiting at her
son-in-law's house. The eldest girl
was about to be married, and Mrs.
MacLean felt it was necessary to
speak out to her daughter.

some young from afar, some youth whom fate
should lead into the neighborhood, Just to accom-

the person of Ebert Brad, the pale youth who
stood on the veranda with her at the time when
old Simons flute blew the out of it's bed.
q don't know that are quaint, she said to
him. . 1t must be that we natural and natural
ness has become Anticipated as to be unusual
1T is not only naturalness, he replied; 1T is
a sort of poetry
Poetry is the flower that grows upon the stalk
of naturalness, she said.
He replied that he did not know much about
poetry. He had lived in the world, and the world
had time for such things.
But l should think that you have many poets
about here he added; and looking at the golden
slice of musknelon in the low sky she said

But if he does not like YOU he is poet of the
unnatural, rather than the natural.

She moved slightly away from him.

She gave him the cordial, and he drank it and
smacked his great musical lips and went away
toward the river; but that evening just as the
moon was rising the notes of his flute melted tar
off in the still air. And where the magnoias were
the tallest, about the old Colonel's house, Miss
Virginia, standing the veranda said to the
Young man who stood near her: Isn't it sweet
this rising of the moon and isn't it better for the
moon to rise with flute than for the sun to go

The old mans mother, belle, had worn it at a

He raised an alarm, and it was discovered that
the chest had been broken open from the side that
stood against the wall. The young Brad was
gone. He suspected, pursued captured and

possession. A number of the neighbors gathered in
the yard about the Colonies house.

The thrill of his life was to wander in the woods,
along the pathway that ran from the Cooncls house
to old Rachels cabin, hoping to catch glimpse of
Miss Virginia Once she had come upon him as he
dreaming beneath tree where the hooking
bird was making drowsy noontime joke of his
song; and he frightened that he thought
she must have heard his heart beating. She spoke;
but he bowed his head in silence, and when she
had passed thought and wondered if it would
be too impossible. His people had never been
the 1ordly owners of land. He had not inherited
his small tract, but had worked for it himself
and land that is not inherited does not bear the
impress of arstocratc romance Therefore, he
was far beneath Miss Virginia
He was too big and brawny to inspire her with
love. He might have the poetry of soul, but
society worshiped the poetry of manner, and this

But what were you going to say
about him?"
4 have made inquiry, my
child, and | have discovered that
he was until of late a gambler on
the Mississippi River, and the
letters of recommendation that
he brought here with him were
forged, | am constrained to be-
lieve. Furthermore, | don't
think that love is in his heart.
1t is his desire to get possession
of this land, for he knows that
soon it will command a large
amount of money. But now all
of my fears have vanished. Run
along to bed"
Early in the morning there
came news to the big house"
Old Simon had been found dead
on the roof of his cabin, with his
flute in his hand. Then followed
a day of sorrow. A part of the
soft and endeared present had
crumbled into the past; and a
little girl was heard to moan:
"Oh, We can't have any moon
again, for there is no one to call
it up in the night"
The old man had chosen the
spot where he desired to be
buried, in the place where the
wild tulips grew, the place where
Mars Jim and Miss May had
blended their souls. And here he
was laid away, and his flute was
buried with him, wound about
with a ribbon, Virginia's tribute,
worn by her mother when, in the
evening beneath the magnolias,
she was married, in the light of
the rising moon.
The old Colonel walked about
with his hands behind him.
May a like mercy be shown to
us ALL" he said. May we all of
us die with music on our lips!"
