On the coy veranda she's busy to-day;
And her pretty blue eyes, while her lips

That concerns her the most as her needle

No man could remember the name once
She studies il briefly, then goes on a.
With hands that are not a whit less than

In each seam goes prayer that must
To the Maker how tender a mother may
feel
From the cradle faint sounds into louder
And she rocks with her foot while she
sings soft and low
An old hushaby song with a drowsy re-

That soon lures the babe back to his
slumber again;
And how proud is her dream of
motherhood there,
AS she sits like a queen in that green
wicker chairl
At this moment appears the one man of
her choice,
With love-light in his eyes and heart
tones in his voice.
The fond greeting he gives fills her leal
soul with Joy:
And while both turn their gaze on their
beautiful boy.
She quite archly inquiries, as her arms
bout him cling

The Idea entered his head as soon
as he awoke and remembered what
day 1t was. 1t came down with him
to breakfast, where the guilty knowl-
edge of it bound his eyes to plate and

the table was accustomed to seeing
the quiet, middle-aged gentleman go
through a meal with scarcely glance
or a word in her direction; and on
this particular morning her thoughts
were so taken up with preparations
for departure that she noted nothing
strange in his behavior.

One morning it was his turn to read
the Bible aloud at devotions. He got
along finely until he got a difficult
passage. when he stopped:
"And the Lord spoke unto Moses"
whispered Charlie, who was behind
him looking over his shoulder.
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, {"
repeated Cowles aloud.
