Path O. Dreams, and Youth never saw
him more. 81.
Hope came to Youth, but in a little
while sickened and died. Despair,
grim and appalling, succeeded Hope
and made of Youth a slave to his ca
prices. Then came Pride, and after
Pride. Necessity, commanding Youth
to 30 back over the road she had come.
In vain she protested, and even after
she had entered the path that led back
to Love she would have turned and
fled had not Necessity, like an aVeng-
ing Demon stalked by her side, stoop-
ing at times to whisper: Make haste
Lest mud and stones be thrown upon
thee
At the words a certain horrible fear
froze Youths blood. She passed her
hand across her eyes, palm outward.
as one does who has received an un-
expected blow. One moment she
swayed. Her hair became loosened by
its own weight and fell about her.
Then she lifted her head.
Softly the night fell, and softly the
moon rose above the brow of the hill.
Youth saw her way clearly defined in
the mellow radiance. There were the
same pitfalls, the same rocks and
briars. and albeit Youth was weak in
limb, she did not stumble, neither did
she cry out the bitterness in her poor
heart, for Necessity lowered at her
side and anon stopped to whisper in
her ear.
When she had come to the end of
her Journey she saw Love waiting with
outstretched arms. She could see his
figure plainly, albeit the moon had
moved toward the zenith. until now,
only a slender wire of amber lay upon
The hills.
Love did not speak, but he smiled.
Youth did not speak. But lifting the
heavy mass of hair she flung it across
her eyes to hide her face in her shame.
In silence Love Folded Youth to his
breast. and Just as the pale rim of the
horizon was merging in the gray of
Dawn. he swept her face free of its
covering. and all that were best to for
get disappeared on the wings of the
observation-disclosures City Star. .

Trouble on the Zambesi.

H"ippopotami in the Zambesi river,
which in the vicinity of Victoria falls
is coming into use for transportation
purposes, are causing a lot of trouble.
A Livingstone correspondent of the
Bulawayo Chronicle writes: THE hip

some on the Zambesi. Several boats
have been upset, causing one fatality
and some narrow escapes. One man
who had gone. out had his boat over
turned close to the edge of the falls,
and it was only by the most strenuous
effort that he and the boy he had with
him were not swept over the lip. AS
it was, they managed to reach Cataract
island, where they were obliged to
spend the night, remaining there until
they were rescued on the following
morning.

A MELODY.

world, set III alone. albeit she knew

days she struggled on in the shadows OF

brambles. Her heart, numb with It's
secret sorrow, grew faint. her limbs be-
came palsied and her step SLOW and un-
certain. Weary and weak. Youth sat
her down. and with the hem OF her gar

bruised feet and bleeding fingers, and.
as she looked aghast at the scarlet
splashes, she burst into passionate
weeping. and all day ard all night she

For a space she lay still within his
arms, her pulses quickening in the
consciousness of warmth and return

sense of combatiyeness, she struggled
up, crying out that she must go or

SO close that she felt the beating of
his heart against her own and the fierce
pressure of his lips Upon her hair.
Youth drew a quick breath, there
was a barely Derceptible %shudder, then
she lay passive in the completeness OF
