Dead Leaves.
The prizes OF life are the dead rose leaves
From paths OF the long ago
TITS only the scent Of the triumph days
That cling In the ebb and flow
'Tls only the thought OF n loved one gone
To sleep in an endless rest.
That blends with the udor of sacred love
And soothes with its balm our breast!
The PRICES will fade as the years flow
on
How swiftly they steal away!
The delicate scent Of ro2c we plucked
liz all that We have to-day!
The exquisite touch Of "A blossom fair
Has lodged in our heart FOR aye
II cllngs To- our thought on the journey
home
And cheers as the cycles fly.
IT'S only the scent OF the Joy we knew
That soothcs in the sunset days,
'Tis only the glow Of the blooms we
plucked
That travels our path always
So open your heart to the blossoms now
And MI II with nectarcd sheaves
To blend with the days OF the snow-white

Miss Cullen" remarked Lord Rallies
after pause.
But she declined to do so, saying she
wanted to know what I was going to

wasn't sorry I told her of the good
news I had to send, and she wanted to
know if now we would try to catch the

that score.

stood looking blankly at them, hardly
able to believe what saw, for Albert
Cullen had said distinctly that the train
robbers had fired only four times, and
had heard had been fired by himself.
Then, without speaking, I walked slow
ly back, searching along the edge of the
roadbed for more shells; but, though
went beyond the point where the last
car had stood, not one did find. Any
man who has fired winchester knows
that it drops its empty shell in loading,
and / could therefore draw only one con-
clusion-namely, that all seven dis
charges Of the winchesters had occurred
up by the mail car. had heard of men
supposing they had fired their gums
through hearing another go off, but with
repeating rifle one has to fire before
one can reload The fact was evident
that Albert Cullen either had fired his
winchester up by the mail car or else
had not fired it at all. In either case he
had lied, and Lord Rallies and Captain
Ackland had backed him up in it.
