Stunning Up Old Letters.

What more distressing occupation
can one hit upon than to burn up old
letters on rainy day? 1t is always a
wet day one chooses for this, feeling
rather like q Judas one minute and
like Hercules in the Augean stable the
next. 1t is positively surprising the
way letters accumulate, especially
with people who are either not
methodical enough or too sentimental
to ruthlessly destroy letters not of
any really permanent value. as they
are read and answered. The gloom
and pathos Of this occupation are en-
HANGED when 1t is our painful office
to look over and weed out the CORE.

Jas she would, she made no way.
She was at the mercy Of the winds

was conscious Of turning over and

she seemed to shoot down into a
black, interminable gulf, out of sight,
out of mind, a horrid, helpless, suf-
locating rush, at the end of which
she ceased to- be.
