a Denendahle Girl.
T. A. DAILY.

Mabel Taft was the only girl in school that
owned camera. Sometimes she took pictures at
recess and after lessons were over for the day The
children thought it great fun to pose for her.

Caro- Conklin
'All right" said Mabel, Il will"
This was just before the afternoon session; but
by o'clock it had grown so cloudy that Mabel de-
cided they would have to wait until another day.

she said. it is so dark"

No, Sadie, 1 won't take it till you are here"
Mabel promised.
The next day it rained, but the day after that
sunny, and the girls begged for the photo
graph.
q can't take it. Mabel said @Sade isn't here"
"'Never mind" argued Caro- Conklin. "She can
get in another It's lovely day for it, and all
the rest of us are here. Come do"
Mabel shook her head. "I promised Sadie
wouldn't"
Caro- pouted you didn't promise to wait for
ever" she fretted Beside, she didn't propose it.
and the one that did ought to have her say"
But Mabel held to her word, and it was whole
week before Sadie and sunny skies came together.
Then the picture was taken, and each girl had
print to keep.
Not long after this Caro's grandmother fell sick
town TO her grandmother's home. On her way she
met Mabel Taft.

Mabel said "but III tell you what-you won't be
afraid as far as here and if you get back frsA you
can wait here for me ;and if I'm first, III wait for
you"
So it was agreed. But when Caro- reached the
corner on her home walk there was no Mabel in
sigbt It was later and duskier than even Caro-
had anticipated for she had had to stay to do some
thing for grandma.
20 I'm afraid she's gone on!" Caro- said to her
self feeling very much like crying, for she was
timid girl. Then she happened to think of Mabels
nict1,re promise and she took heart at once. "Of
course she'd have waited" she argued, cause she
never breaks her word" So she walked up and
down in front of the drug store; but the minutes
,o,,t b,, and Mabel did not come Perhaps ought
NOT 70 wait she muttered 'What if she has gone~
And her heart gave leap of dismay. Again she
cheered herself with the assurance But no, she
soid she'd stav. and she would"-and just then Ma

street.

A Song for August.

There's a death-damp in the dawn
And fever in the noon;
Summers tender bloom is gone
And her soul will follow soon.
Yet the leaves upon her trees
And her nodding flowers fling
Benedictions down the breeze
As they sing:
Morituri salutamus,
But we shall not die in vain.
We shall fill your dreams with beauty
Till the summer comes again"
There are voices nthe night,
And the calm stars overhead
Are like tapers set a-light
In the chamber of the dead
And the mourning katydid
Sits and beats its strident wings.
In its leafy covert hid
And it sings:
Norituri salutamus,'
But we shall not die in vain.
We shall fill your dreams with beauty
Til the summer comes again"

The Elevator EYES.

One of the greatest hardships suffer
ed by men who run elevators In the
tall office buildings downtown is the
bad effect 1t has on their eyes. The
cars are run at a high rate of speed,
and rs the men have to look straight
ahead Of them most of the time, their
eyes soon feel the strain Of the con-
slant motion
i've worked in the subway" re
marked one of these elevator men,
and | thought that was pretty bad
but it isn't patch to the way my
eyes feel after days work in these
cars. If you ever run across an ele-
vator man who seems unusually bad
tempered toward the close of the bust
ness day just look at his eyes and you
will be apt to forgive him. They gen
orally show the strain that has been
put on them for eight or ten hours.''-
