The HILLs OF REsT.

BY Albert Bigelow Paine.
Beyond the last horizons rim,
Beyond adventures farthest quest,
Somewhere they rise, serene and dim,
The happy, happy Hills OF Rest.
Upon their sunlit slopes Nplitt
The castles We have built In Spain
While fair amid the Summer drift
Our faded gardens flower again.
Sweet hours we did not live 30 by
To soothing note, on scented wing;
In golden-lettered volumes lie
The songs we tried In vain to sing.
They all are there: the days OF dream
That build the inner lives Of men;
The silent, sacred years we deem
The might be, and the might have
been.
Some evening when the sky is gold
I'll follow day into the west;
Nor pause, nor heed, till l behold
The happy, happy Hills or Rest.

Simpsons
Stand.
BY JAMES WILLIAM JACKSON.

Stand right up to him, son! Don't
let him scare you!" The mate of the
river steamer Wave spoke with laugh
ing encouragement. A score of me-
chanics repairing the river bulkhead
kept him company in watching the
noontime fun.
One OF the crew OF the Wave,
young, robust and full OF mischief,
stood with a grin on his face and
firm grip on a folded horse-blanket.
Facing him, with an equally deter
mined hold on the blanket, was an
other young fellow with fiery red hair.
The red-haired Simpson had been
engaged only two days before as
teamster on Thorn's stone-wagon. lie
was mild.mannered, blue-eyed and in
offensive. AS a stranger to the river
front he had been quietlyy enjoying
the noon hour while Peterson, the
fun-loving young deck-hand, wander
ed restlessly about in search Of an
inspiration.
simpsons big horses, with brides
off and heads bert were munching
their oats. On the seat Of the wagon
behind lay the new blanket It
caught the boatman's eye.
"I'n take that down and see If !,
will fit my bunk, Reddy,' he nonchal-
antly announced.
AS Peterson pulled down the blan'
ket and started toward the Wave
Simpson interposed his tall figure.
The "wrastling" match which sudden
" developed was hailed with CHEERS,
The young deck-hand was no match
for the 1.-THE Simpson, who for the
sake OF amusement allowed his an
tagonIst some advantage, but turned
the tide OF battle as he pleased.
The loud laughter and the prospect
OF defeat seemed to have bad et-
feet on Peterson. Simpson saw that
he was growing angry, and quickly
broke the boatman's hold.
Peterson advanced belligerently,
and Simpson retreated. The next mo-
ment the teamster was in full flight.
Pursued by the sailor, he sprinted
away from the river, the blanket
streaming out behind.
Dodging in and out of the piled
freight, Simpson turned up the steep
street which led directly away from
the Wave. At the head OF the block
be circled a huge boiler waiting to
be installed In an adjacent factory
and came back on the run
The chase continued along the bulk
head, In view of the amused watch
ers. Simpson heard the boatman'
who grew more irritable every min
ute, muttering threats as he ran close
behind. Simpson took his choice be-
