GOOD-BY, OLD YEAR.
BY Clifford Kane Stout.

Good-by. Old Year. your mission ends
With midnight chimes and all is done
The records writ with joy or less,
The deeds fulfilled and guerdons won
Are hung trophies round thy rime
And thou are named with olden time
Forevermore :oh. fateful past
That saw so much no law can change
Beginning and the end of things
That were to be- the new and strange
The old and worn and bloom and blight
Passed to the dark or born to light.
And. oh. for some happy year;
Sweet wedding bells rang joyously;
Old friends clasped hands and strangers
met.
And sunshine fell so glad and free
On buoyant youth. and smiles were fair.
And laughter bantered pain and care.
Some tears must fall in every year:
Your portion came when grief had Sc,
A badge of mourning on the hearts
or some whose love could not forget.
And hopefully. without dismay,
They covered friends of yesterday.
Good-by, Old Year: we regret the New,
When we recall your gifts and cost
May then double portion show
Thy favors won DER which was lost
Good-by, A hand at parting; then
A Nenedction and amen.

He saw that she was ironical. Hav-
ing nothing to say, he said nothing,
but looked longingly at the vacant
space beside her.
She rested her chin upon the sill of
the window and gazed at the stars. A
wild rush of the wind beat upon her
face, bringing thousand vague heavy
perfumes and pleasant numbing.
How cleverely she had eluded the
dukes police! What brilliant idea
1t had been to use her private carriage
key to steal into the carriage compart-
ment long before the train was made
up! 1t had been some trouble to light
the lamps, but in doing so she had
avoided the possible dutiful guard. He
had peered in, but. seeing that the
lamps were lighted, concluded that
one of his fellows had been the rounds.
The police would watch all those
who entered or left the station but
never would they think to search car
riage into which no one had been seen
to enter. But oh, what frightful pre-
dicament she was in! All she pos
sessed in the world was a -half-crown,
scarce enough for her breakfast. And
If she did not find her governess at
once she would be lost utterly, and in
Dresden! She choked back the sob.
Why couldn't they let her be? She
didn't want to marry any one-that
is, just yet She didnt want her wings
clipped before she had learned wat a
fine thing it was to fly. She was
young
"Oh!"
What is it?" she said, turning.
Il have something of yours" an
swered Max, fumbling in his pocket,
grateful for some excuse to break the
silence. You dropped your purse this
morning. Permit me to return it to
you. hadn't the remotest idea how |
was going to return it. In truth, l had
just made up my mind to keep it as a
souvenir
She literally snatched it from his
extended hand.

it was gone forever" hugging it hys-

terically to her heart. She feverishly
tried to mlatch the clasps.
You need not open it, he said
quietly, even proudly. Il had no
thought of looking into it, even to
prove your identity"
Pardon, did not think. / was so
crazy to see it again. She laid the
purse beside her. You see," with an
hysterical catch in her voice, "all the
money had in the world was in that
purse. and only heaven knows what
misfortunes were about to befall me.
There We're, and are, thousand
crowns in the purse"
"A thousand crowns?'
I'm bank-notes. Thank you, thank
you! l am so happy!"-clasping her
hands Then, with smile as warm as
the summers sun, she added: You
may-come and sit close beside me.
You may even smoke"
Max grew light-headed. This was as
near heaven as he ever expected to
get.
open your purse and look into it,"
to do So"
"May I?"-shyly.
Then it came into MaX's mind, with
all the brilliancy of dynamo spark,
that this was the one girl in all the
world, the ideal he had been searching
for; and he wanted to fall at her feet
and tell her so.
Look" she cried gleefully, holding
UP the packet of bank-notes.
Il WISH he said boyishly, that you
didn't have any money at all, SO could
help you and feel that you depended
upon me"
She smiled. How woman loves
this simple kind of tlattery! 1t tells
her better what she may wish to know
than a thousand hymns sung in praise
of her beauty.
But even as he spoke chill Of hor-
ror went over Max. He put his hand
hurriedly into his vest pocket. Fool

and handsome and strong he looked
What a terrible thing it was to be borr
in purple. Tell me about yourself"
His hand strayed absently toward
his upper vest pocket and then fell tc
his side. He licked his lips.
"Smoke!" she commanded intuitive
ly. Il said that you might"
Il can talk better when | smoke" he
advanced rather lamely. May l.
then ?"-gratefully.
Il command it,"
Wasn't it fine to be ordered about in
this fashion? If only the train might
go on and on and on, thousands OF
miles! He applied a match to the end
of his cigar and leaned back against
the cushion.

In on our souls. we are in fair way
to improve.
1t is only when we blindly consider
ourselves as right in everything that
we are all wrong.
1t is only when we blindly consider
ourselves as right in everything that
we are all wrong.
So If your look back shows you mis-
takes and errors and misbeliefs, be
glad that the New Year gives you a
clean slate to try for the right road
and the true goal.
Be thankful for the mental perspec-
tive when you see 1t with clear sight
with new true eyes.
There Is no need of making resolu-
tons, for right seeing means right
thinking and right thinking is the
path to right living.
Perhaps your faults are those mean
little ones which you would like to
exchange in bunch for one noble sin,
but there are no exchanges of that sort
or we should all be noble sinners.
The petty faults are the thorns that
cluster round some of the finest roses
in LIES big garden. crowding. jarring,
overlapping one another in their eager
ness to get to the light.
Maybe the old year has been good
friend In some special instances that
you can recall.
Perhaps 1t brought you back with
a short, sharp shock from a too AFRO
giant happiness or an overconfident sue
cess.
Be glad of that jar, even though it
kept you stirred up for awhile.
Perhaps the past - months have
healed some breach or brought some
ship home. the white sails of which
you have been watching wistfully for
months or years far out at sea.
Be glad of that.
Perhaps some milestone has fallen
from you and you stand free at last on
the great highway with long. manacled
arms reached out to the sky.
Be glad.
Or peace has settled on a troubled
ocean and you can greet the sunrise
with smile and prayer of thankful
ness for another day.
Maybe there is cradle in one cor
ner Of your home this New Years eve
with a most important guest cuddled
in down blankets and rose-leaf palms
upturned for-your kisses.
No need to tell you to be glad.
Or success has come to crown some
effort at which you have toiled rather
YEARLY, hardly daring to hope.
Or If it has been withheld, be glad
that you have nevertheless tried. 1t
will all come to you some day.
The old year has taught us lessons.
Let us profit by them and enter into
than plunge into it as though it were
a rose garden.
1t is quite as full of danger and con
flict and clouds as the old friend that
is going.
Let us wish 1t will have even as
much sunshine and gladness and Joy.
We can meet 1t with splendid hope
and lively faith-for those two quail
ties are what make our dreams come
true.
Let us cherish few good hopes that
it may bring us the things we stand
in need of-health, happiness, good
friends success, joy and the clear
vision that will teach us to discern the
false from the true.
May it leave us our beliefs and our
ideals.
Teach us to love more and to hate
not at all.
To be content with the blessings that
we have.
To cultivate sweetness and good ma
ture rather than exclusiveness.
To meet the world with smile.
To stifle criticism Of things and peo-
pie.
Never to make little OF our own.

Why, yes. 1t seems that she eloped

The girl sat tight, as they say; then
suddenly she burst into uncomfortable
laughter. 1t was the drollest thing she
had ever heard. She saw the duke

Almost all the vacant land in the thinly
settled outskirts has been bought up by
development companies, miles OF streets
and sidewalks have been laid out, water
and gas mains installed, and a great many
lots sold to small investors and home
seekers. A great deal OF building has been
going on also, and new residential com
