Was given to every ear. The
lovers came home to meet a
scorn as bitter as ever to earth
was born; the silly leer, the
nose turned high, as men and
women passed them by; the
curse of a father, damnable
fool; the tears of a mother
forming a pool; the ghost of
her happiness Rugged to her
breast, out in the night the girl
sought her rest. Next day
they found her cold and dead.

when they numbered the girl
among the dead. Wickedness
cannot mingle here as long as
we can interfere. 'sWicked
she was, had she not been kiss
ed? "Can she have pleasures
we have missed?" And so poor
fools, they went their way
building higher day by day the
CHASTITY pile Of dead mems
bones, lenghtening their list of
ruined homes, breaking the
hearts of loving mothers, for
getting their sins for the sins
of others, the fools believing
with all their might that they
actually belonged to the Heav-
emily Flight. One day they
sickened and took to their beds
and the Angel of Death hung
near their heads and the Angel
of Death grasped their threats
and shaking their souls, as
storms rock boats, carried them
up above the stars, up through
space to the very bars, where
st. Peter guards with watch
full care the gates to the palace
of Never-Know- Care. "What
have we here" st. Peter
cried. "a pair of gossips,"
the Angel replied. st Peter
roared, "Send them to He'll, my
compliments, Devil, treat them
we'll; and the Angel hurled
them, screaming, through space
hurtling and turning into the
Devils own face. The Devil
seized them and scanned them
we'll and made up his mind
they were not for He'll. With
belly quivering and shaking
with mirth, he hurled them
straightway back to earth. You
can do much evil on earth"
said he, "But | won't have you

The Fools Ajingling

Two gossips strolling along a
path and DER heard a lovers
joyous laugh. Said one, her
face took on a wicked grin,
"Methinks that smells some
what of sim" The other, a
light on her face as of devils
a dancing, made haste to steal
upon the loving pair, who sat
a cooling happily there. Heart
to heart and lip to lip, they
plighted their word to sail their
ship through storm and strife
and peace and play until the
Angel of Death called them
away. But the gossips saw
not the happiness here, they
only saw two hearts to scar.
They had a spicy story to whis-
peringly tell, lying contempti-
BILE, smelling Of He'll. Sneaking
away as thieves in the night,
''You go to the left, I'll go to
the right" a rotten lie had to
be told, running a happiness
more precious than gold; rub
bling their knuckles in hideous
glee; chuckling and gloating
Ger the misery, the sunless
life, the deathless pain, the
gossips were Matching for this
loving twain; frantically hast
ening far and near, their lie
