torted vision of experience. What a child She was
IN those far of daVs-What a dainty WinsOme,
Clinging shrinking child And how she had loved
struggled against his desire to leave ii and 90 out
with her into that mysterious world of pOmp and
fashion where he had place by right Of birth and
a power by right OF money!
What mailman he had been to combat her de-
SIres in that What q past. hat present. what a
future, might have been theirs he had only listened
10 her pleading and let life drift for them the

paths, But, Heaven above, what was life worth
but to live. " hat was youth given for but to
enjoy: And if man find pearl which is bigger
and more valuable than any other man pearl,
ShOulin he 60 out INTO the world and show II,
rather than hide 1t away III the wilderness and hug
it to his heart IN secret
God knows he had meant well enough when. after
the child had come.-and had gone again. holding
their Wrung hearts shut the cool of It's crunplcd
hands,-God knows he had meant well enough in
choosing that time to enforce his wishes and t.
thrust her INTO and places where the CRY Of
dcsoated motherhood would hc drowned in the
babhe of pleasure. and the dead remembered
only for what they leave behind!
But how was he t. know the way it would end,
How was he t. dream that he would be the first To
tire of the tulip fields and sigh for the primrose
paths again: Who Was To- tell HIM that tins world

Eve. and-thc fruit was exceeding bitter

his way, She going hers. And So it ran on--a few
little pain, then gradual diving of the FIRE for
