ne woman sat before the mirror at
dressing table and looked at the
face reflected there. 1t was neither a
young face nor happy one though it
was beautiful There were delicate
lines about the mouth, lines which
would have developed into wrinkles
save for the careful massage that kept
them in an incipient stage. There
were other lines about the eyes, and
tonight WEAKNESS had painted violet
shadows beneath the brown eyes and
the face was pale even beneath its
stage makeup. For the woman was
very tired. That night she had walked

their sweetness. She remembered
how she had used to put the crab ap-
Pile blossoms and the wood violets to-

brought keen sense of joy. She had
always loved the beautiful things Of
life. And the fern! Down where the
little spring branch emptied into the
creek there was a high bluff of gray
stone. Moss covered its sides and
along the foot, in every crevice of the
rock the wild ferns grew How often
she had plucked the green fronds,
luxuriating in their bittersweet tang.
While she held the flowers and
dreamed over them, someone knocked
at the door and man entered the
room without further ceremony. He
was a country preacher, circuit
rider. The woman knew him at once
as he knew her. She stood up, the
flowers spilling on the floor about her.
"Hedley," she said, you here"
The man came forward. He was
young and tall and spare. His near
sighted eyes were shielded by glasses
and his face was the face of man

Body IN ICE FIVE YEARS.
Remains Of Norwegian Fisherman Is
Found on Behring Sea Island.

Had Ole Sjostron's tomb of ice on
an arctic island in the Behring sea
remained undisturbed 100000 years, at
the end of that ponderous stretch of
time the face and form of Ole would
have looked as natural and life-like as
at the moment of the tshermans S
death.
Five years ago this young Nor
wegian. SjOstron. disappeared from
Baranoff station. Nobody knew what
became Of him. and finally people
ceased to wonder. A few weeks ago
the body was found completely i'm
bedded in the ice and so thoroughly
preserved that not even the slightest
indication of change had set in.
The barkentine City of Papeete has
arrived from Baranoff and the news
of this remarkable discovery was
brought by her first mate, knute Pet
erSOn.
Five years in the ice" said Peter
son, has not made bit of difference
in his appearance. When they found
him he looked as if asleep, but, sure
enough. he was cold in death-even
more so than the ordinary dead man.
They suppose that he lay down on the
glacier while intoxicated and fell
asleep and that after he had frozen
to death the ice formed over him"
Strange as this story may seem, the
incident is not strange to those who
know the arctic icetields. Bodies OF
the mammoth have been found simi.
larly imbedded in the ice.
The sailors Information about the
finding of Sjostron's body is meager,
but it is presumable that, instead OF
being caught and imprisoned in the
glacial ice, the fisherman died on the
soft soil of the tundra and that his
body became covered up and frozen
with it.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Beauty.

OcdutJ.
O you who gaze on fading sunset skies
With dream enkindled eyes
Aglow with ecstasy,
DO not those crystal dccps reveal to you
The secret Of eternity
That in their perishinS. frail glory lies
The one truth wholly true
Though all things perish. Beauty never
dies?
For Beauty fades not with the fading
Nor withers with the flower,
Nor passes with the dream:
Though death should take the whole earth
He may not snare the starry CLEAN
Nor hold the soul of Beauty in his power.
Yea, though times sun should set.
And all things perish, Beauty never dies.
lmperishable Beauty trembles through
The frailness of the dew;
In flickerng. white foam.
And in the iris OF the stormy bow
Awhile she dwclls: and hath her home
Beneath our earthly skies of mortal blue
They fade; yet this we know
Though ali things perish, Beauty never
dies.
For ever fugitive. before our eyes
From form to form she flies;
We deem her dead; when she
Doth flash again upon our mazed sight
In some new living ecstasy
OF bloom, or love lit face. or sunset skies
Or star enchanted night
Though all things perish. Beauty never
dies.
With her alone is Immortality;
For yet men rcverently
Adore within her shrine.
The sole immortal time hath not cast
down.
She wields power yet more divine
Than when of old she rose from out the
OF night. with starry crown.
Though all things perish, Beauty never
dies.
