A Poets Vision.

For years the poet Francis Thomp-
son had been one of the submerged"
selling matches, calling cabs, anything
to obtain the pence necessary to buy
food. At last he yielded TO despair,
and having for some days saved up
all he could earn, he devoted it to the
purchase of a single dose of laudanum
sufficient to end his troubles. With
this he retired at night to his haunt,
the rubbish plot in Covent Garden
market. Then by his own narrative
the following incident occurred: He
had already taken half the fatal draft
when he felt hand upon his arm and,
looking up, saw one whom he recog-
nized as Chatterton forbidding him to
drink the rest, and at the same instant
memory came to him of how, after
that poets suicide, a letter had been
delivered at his lodgings which, If he
had waited another day, would have
brought him the relief needed.
1t happened so with Thompson, for
after infinite pains the editor Of
magazine who had accepted and print
ed an essay and poem of his, but
could not discover his address, had
that very morning traced Thompson
to the chemists shop where the drug
was sold, and relief for him was close
at hand.-London Academy.

Dick Staley, perchcd on a furniture
crate, looked disconsolatcly at Billy
Blaine, who was regarding the wall
paper and trying hard not to laugh.
In spite of Blaine's efforts the witch
ing corners of his mouth curved. and
as he met Staley's eye he exploded in
roar of laughter which served only
to deepen Staley's gloom

admitted Blaine, with another glance
at the Powered monstrosity, but there
is only one square yard of the sample.
1t looks different, Dick, when you have
a roomful of it."
Il know it," admitted Staley, but
that doesn't help matters 1t only
serves to make them worse. l want
ed to surprise the matter by bringing
her to her own home instead of tax

up her Old home, and | wanted to

The smile died from Blaines face at
the allusion to Mrs. Staley. He was
Dicks chum, and he knew how tender
ly Dick loved the gentle faced woman
who within the month had lost both
husband and daughter Now she was
coming TO live with Dick, and for
weeks he had planned to take an
apartment that she might not feel too
keenly the loss of the home that had
been hers since marriage.
''Ill tell you what We'll do, Dick"
suggested Blaine. Lets go downtown
for some lunch. I'll phone Nell for one
of those professional fiXers for you.
She knows q crackerjac5, Il girl who
used to move in good society and
whose father lost his money. She
knows what's what and how to do it,

reported Billy as he took his seat
Eat with a good appetite and con
slider yourself settled already"
Billys words restored confidence,
and when Dick Staley met Marion
WadIeigh that evening his last doubt
vanished. The girl did not laugh at
his blunderS nor even at the wall pa
per. She listened with sympathy and
took from her chatelaine the tablets on
which to make notes Of what she
wanted. With increasing admiration
Staley followed her through the vari-
Gus rooms, noting the quick, business
like way in which she condoned his
errors and approved his successes.

said briskly when she had shut up her
memorandum book and returned to the
parlor where Nell Blaine, Billy's sister
in-law, still sat in rapt admiration of
the garish wall paper Suppose, Mr..
Staley, that you drop in here Friday
afternoon? Then you can suggest any
last changes you wish made and the
place will be ready for your mother
Saturday evening. Shall / get you a
servant alsoE
Can you?" Staley had heard Of the
servant problem, and he had worried
greatly. This buSineSslike girl offered
even to take that trouble off his hands.
He was rapidly coming to regard Mar
ion Wadleigh as tailor made angel.
He dropped in the next morning on
his way to the Office and found a pa
per hanging crew already installed,
removing the paper that had proved so
disappointing. Marion was there in a
Bingham apron even more becoming
than the cloth costume of the night be-
fore, and Dicks heart beat faster in
answer to her greeting.
There was something "homey" in
her appearance that appealed strongly
TO the man who for years had enjoyed
but an occasional glimpse of home in
vacation time. The soft dark hair was
hidden by a cap and the piquant face
was flushed with eXertion, but the
heightened color only added TO her
beauty, and the cap did not shadow
the tender light in the brown eyes.
Dick went to his Office with his head
in whlrl. Ever since he had come
to the city he had sunk himself in
work. Fortune had come his way rap
idly, and up to the present he had
found work all sufii lent. Now he be-

Best of all, Marion Wadleigh was
there. The print dress had been ex-

and Immediately Dick decided that aft
er all print dress was not the most
becoming costume which Marion could
wear, though that had been his impress

Quietly she moved about the place,
giving an account of her expenditures,
