 Thou art crumbling to the dust. old

 Thou art hastening to thy fall. And round thee in thy loneliness Clings the Ivy to thy wall. - The worshippers are scattered now Who Knelt before thy shrine And silence reigns where anthems rose In days of "Auld Lang Syne." And sadly sighs the wandering wind Where oft in years gone by. Prayers rose from hearts to Him, The Highest of the High; The tramp of many busy foot That sought thy aisles is OCT And many weary heart around Is still forever more.
 How doth Ambitions hope take Wing, How droops the spirit now, Il We hear the distant city's din, The dead are mute below. The sun that shone upon their paths, Now gilds their lonely graves. The zephyrs which once famed their
 brows,
 The grass below them waves. Oh could we call the many back, Who've gathered here in vain Who've careless roved where we do now Who'll never meet again; How would our very souls be stirred, To meet the earnest gaze Of the lovely and the beautiful, The lights of other days.

But Noras family had smiled approval

He had not been blind to their diplomacy.
He had simply allowed himself to be

that period in Europe and America, and he
described the whole as the most important
collection ever made regarding PennsylYd-
MIA.
In the Pennypacker collection is the first
map Of Pennsylvania, a fine copy of an ex-
cessively rare publication of Pennsylvaniana
made in London in 1850. Henllel says: 1T
is the only copy l ever saw, and as far as
diligent research will prove, it is the only
copy that has ever been offered for public
sale
One of the rarest of the volumes was
printed in 1863 by Peter Cornelius Van
ZuriskZee, "a lover of trutI. and peace"
The author founded a settlement on the
Delaware in 1862, and died in Germantown.
He founded socialism, and was the first in
America to denounce slavery. The book is a
compilation of his letters to Cromwell out
lining his plans in America, later carried
out at the Rorekill on the Delaware.
Another rare and perhaps unique volume
gives the first printed laws of Pennsylva-
mia. 1t was printed and sold by Andrew
Bradford in Philadelphia in 171i, and con-
talns early session laws of Pennsylvania to-
tally unknown to collectors.
the carly days OF Pennsylvania and Phila-
deIphia are illustrated with portraits and
views of peculiar interest to antiquarians.
Many are in the German language and con-
tain local historical information not read
lily accessible.
In making his collection Governor Penny
packer attended public sales of famous
books in various parts of the country, and
frequently made rare purchases under the
noses and eyes of the most astute collectors,
librarians and dealers.

stairs the sound of voices and woman's
laughter.
Up through the darkness, the closeness,
the stale odor of cooked food, Mellish
sprang two steps at time. The physical
strain had told upon his strength; the
throbbing beat of his heart rang in his
ears, shutting out other sounds, deadening
thought itself. AS in dream he was

was a new Morris chair, with gaudy plush
cushions. His last conscious sensation was
the stuffy smell of new upholstery.
AS the haze cleared from his eyes, the
woman was holding a thick tumbler con-
tanning brandy to his lips-the woman who
had felt sure that he was Sam, the woman
whose hair was so like Nora's, and whose
eyes and mouth were SO different. AS she
leaned over him, he noted the cold, bold
violet OF her eyes, the frregularity of her
teeth, one of them badly blackened. In
the immensely of his relief he felt his heart
expand toward this clandestine couple
who had been so afraid that he was SAM
and who now SO plainly wished him to be
gone. He owed these two a big debt of
gratitude for having cured him, once for

could have reached out his hand and touch
ed her arm. The driver swung his long,
flexible lash, that snapped like spitefui
cracker within an inch of Melishs ear.
The horse, a yellow roam, with gaunt, I'M
calmly legs, started nervouSly, scrambling
for foothold on the slippery asphalt, then
lurched suddenly forward and swept the
woman and her companion from his as
founded gaze, around the corner and down
9TH avenue.
At any other time, had the question been
laid impartially before him, Mr.. Mellish
would have held that man who tried to
follow on foot a rapidly retreating hanson
cab through the crowded maze of New
York streets, during the busy rush of Sat
urday afternoon, was in serious condi-
ton, bordering upon lunacy. In the pres
ent crisis lie did not pause to consider.
but simply gathered himself together and
sprinted nimbly down the avenue, forget
ting for once to be self-conscious, his long,
thin legs flashing like the long, thin spokes
of rapidly turning wheel; his glasses
threatening TO slip from the bridge of his
long, thin nose: his near-sighted eyes
straining helplessly after the yellow roam,
that fitted like thing of evil, in and out
through the endless stream of landauS,
motor cars, omnibuses and business wag-
ons. At 18th street the mounted police,
StdllbIitu lItie ~ regulate tIdIlC, waved
the south-bound stream of vehicles west
ward toward Broadway, through the tag
end of a city block that forms the base of
the Worth Monument triangle. AS they
swung in single file, first right, then left
again, an electric for a moment blocked
the procession.
Mellish's first lucid though was to spring
into one of the many vacant hansoms that
waited along the curb and bid him follow
the yellow roam. which this time threatened
seriously to elude him. He waved tn one
systematically with his long arm Then as
it promptly responded, he waved it away
again. He realized suddenly that he could
not bring himself to take a stranger, even
an unknown cab driver, so far into his con-
fidence to bid him follow that other
hansom.- No, he could not expose his 1eal-
ousy to a cab driver; already he pictured
the ironical curiosity in the fellows eyes,
Instead, he swung himself on to a Broad
way open car, that for two blocks shot
southwark with such sped that he gained
once more rapidly upon the fugitives, when
at 23d street he suddenly lost sight of them
altogether He rose from the seat he had
just taken in bewilderment of helpless in
decision. But the car had started once
more before he could decide to get off; and
the next minute, as it slowed down for
passengers at 22d street. there came the
yellow ROAM at full tilt, straight across
from 9th avenue, though intent upon
running down the car he was in, and him
with 1t. With sudden comprehension he
remembered that the police regulations
would naturally have obliged 1t to make
the circuit of the Flatiron building; that
was why 1t had vanished from sight at

that fell from those red, mutinous lips,
single glance shot from those wide gray
eyes, a single thought behind that serene
white brow, with it's wonderful crown OF
shimmering copper Once more he bowed
his shoulders under the incubuj of his I'M
reasoning jealousy. Long after dinner was
over he continued to sit in the dining room;
his coffee growing cold before MN; ms
smoldered in his saucer The clock on
the mantleshelf struck 8, when at last
he aroused himself and drew from his
pocket the theater tickets that Nora had
forgotten to ask about-the splendid aisle
seats that he had equally forgotten to show
to her. At intervals, Hinckley's boyish,
penetrating laugh echoed down the length
of the hall. Thoughtfully Mellish tore the
tickets across the middle, dropped them IN
his saucer with the ashes, lit fresh cigar,
and pausing at the parlor door long enough
to frame his usual fimsy excuse, put on ms
hat and passed out into the summer night.

all of his chronic jealousy. With sudden
energy he gathered his long, thin limbs
together and rose to his feet. AS he
backed himself out into the dingy hall, with
a final apology, he felt an honest amuse-
ment at the visible relief of this man and
woman, the irregularity of whose lives had
so nearly touched him.
It was past their dinner hour when Mel
lish at last reached home. Nora. radiant
in her lew lizard green, opened the door
in person, greeting him effusively, too alb
sorbed in herself to notice the disorder of
his appearance. Windon was here, she
told him, and would stay to dinner. Win
don? Well, what of it? In the joyous
confidence of his new cure, Mellish felt
that he could afford to be cordial even to
Windon Hinckley. Besides, he thought, as
he made hasty toilet, it was at most only
for an hour; Nora would have to excuse
herself as soon as coffee was served, II
she was going to the theater with him to-
night.
The dainty dinner scored the success that
Noras dinners always scored when they
were not dining alone. Nora herself was,
as usual, nervously voluble. How did
Mrs Faversham's luncheon go off? Why,
there had not been any luncheon. She
hoped he had mot been foolish enough to
try to meet her. Mrs. Faversham had tele-
phoned that it was postponed; her cousin
had not come from Buffalo after all Then,
turning suddenly to Hinckley, Tell me,
Windon, about that mysterious cousin OF
yours, Cousin Nelly, isn't it? Your sister
says that you were desperately In love
with her once. What is she like? Is she
half as nice as I amp
AS he looked across the dinner table at
Nora, dimpling under Hinckley's fattery,
suddenly Mellis-- citation fell. They had
shut him out, those two young congenal
spirits; they had forgotten he was there.
The old familiar spasm gripped. his heart.
He realized that he was not cured after all !;
the wonder was he had not realized it
sooner. His bizarre blunder in following
the wrong couple all through a summer
afternoon was no proof of Nora's innocence.
Tonight like every other night, he was
powerless to read the truth of single word
