When the fire blazed he pushed the one rough chair
in the hall forward into its glow, and led the
to it. She sank into it, claspng her hands before her
and letting her head droop forward little till
the freight CLEANED her snow-white hair. Her eyes
looked straight before her into the blazing timbers.
He stood with his hand resting affeconatey upon her
shoulder little back of her where the light shone
his strong rugged features, lined and furrowed with
the signs of age and disappointment
An hour raced by and yet no word had broken the
stiffness Finally he spoke:

never leave here again"
But only for tonight We can return tomorrow

Again her eyes rebuked him.
"No harm can come to us here We are safer here
than any place in the world Don't you remember we
called it Haven? That means rest and safety Tell
the coachman to go back We shall stay here forever
now"
He left her aone-just she and and it was then that
I knew her. great tremor passed over that
of the loose stones in my chimney shaken from its
fastenings and fell down into the fire. making it blaze
up suddenly into gorgeous glow that run1bed far up
my chimney And in its noise my voice rose into pas
sionate cry, Beloved Beloved"
Suddenly she leaned forward her knees before the
hearth and listened and heard me- When he returned,
and threw down great armful of holly the hearth,
she pulled him down beside her so that their arms were
about each other and their faces close together
Listen, listen' she whispered, it is the house talk

r WAS a onestory house, built of rough stones with
wide overhanging caves and quaint loaded glass
i windows. The largest part of me was the hall,
where huge fireplace of rough bricks, and floor OF
red tiles and a ceiling of low weathered rafers gave
me full opportunity express the spirit of cordially
From this hall two steps led down into the dining
room and beyond was the enclosed veranda, where one
could look out upon the gently soping hills and quiet
beautiful country
Towards the back of the house a wing which
formed coy library and bedrooms. But what loved
best was my side which faced the garden where in the
early spring I could see the crocus peepng out amid
the still brown grass then would the jonquls,
afterward the sprea and roses then the holyhocks and
poppies and larkspurs followed by the August golden
glow and last of all, chrysanhemums
My acquaintance with them began when was just
commencing to grow and lift myself up enough to take
notice They would come out in the late afternoons,
when he had finished his work. and stand side by side
prasng each of my parts, and rectifyng any mistake
What first gained my love for them the strong
foundation upon which they placed me, for when it
stormed and the wind blew and the thunder made me
tren1ble l could settle myself down upon the strong
underground walls, and brace myself just as man

moons when the smoke hangs low and everything
merowed by indstinctness. All day furniture and
packages had been coming out that when they came
there was much to do to get me into a semblance Of
order They ran from room TO admring and pat

hardwood floors.

The clock had chimed twelve that night before they

it was the vanity that with the satisfaction Of
knowing that I made them happy, for it seemed to me
that that was all for which built Then, they
so young and full OF life and joy; how could do other
wise than reflect their happiness2
The days were too short that winter; even the long
evenings that began at five and ended eleven seemed
hardly long enough for us to do and say all that we de-
sired 1t was when they upon the settle before the
glowing logs gradually falling under the spell Of the
warmth and glow, that found out that I could talk to
them and make them understand

SO it was that I was named. Afterwards, they would
listen to me every evening as talked to hem and al
ways it was she who understood me best. ...
The winter fled and spring gently on. 1t was
then that they began the garden which to be my
pleasure He would work there, spading and digging,
while she planted and watered the flowers
How impatiently watched for the plants to spring
up into life I recall one night she awakened, and,
membering the roses had not been watered she went
ont into the moonit garden and sprnkled them, most
carefully.
As summer came on, she grew into the habit Of sit
ting for the greater part of the day under the shadow Of
an old tree one that was there long before

sewing all the time upon the tnest garments for which

gently until very large basket was completely filled
with these funny little doll clothes Then, morning,
found him climbing up the steps which led into my
garrett and calling back to white gowned nurse that
baby must always be carried up first to give luck
Those quite the happiest days that was to
know. The baby grew into beautiful boy, and he
played with me as I had never known how to play
before. Rainy days he spent the hours in my attic,
ransackng every corner and finding out all my secrets

strengthened the bond between and made me feel
that my claim upon him would last long lived.

Despite all changes, each spring would it struggle
up through the rampant grass lifting its stalks of pure
white blossoms high then gradually willing and dying
thus did I know another year had been added to my
age Thrty-seven years had I counted in this way
since they left me-thirty years without the sound
of their voices without the look of their affectionate
eyes.
At last the end was near at hand-I felt it in every
part of me- My strong uprights would remble
when the wind blew; felt certain that I could not
resist another long winter.
I had been alone for month8-even the poorest would
not consider me any longer, and oftentimes people
would 60 by in the late night and shudder when they
looked at me, saying that | haunted; that ghosts
lived within my walls. And they right-ghosts did
live within me--thc ghosts and memories of that long
procession which had marched through me with the
passing years.
And then there came calm, cold night The wind

government in Mexico is a popular belief with many foreigners. It is a fact that the president is endowed with very large powers by the consti- tuition and statutes. There is con gress of two chambers. Some think it mockery, but we read in the Mex ican papers of bills introduced, pass ed or defeated and of debates on them that sometimes have a familiar ring. When President Diaz planned some years ago to visit the United States he asked and obtained a leave of absence from congress.
 There are in Mexico twentyeight states. three territories and the fed. eral district. Nominally, at least, these occupy the same relation to the federal government that our states do and the laws differ in many re- spects in each. In the federal dis trict there are jury trials; in the states. most of them at least. the old system of trial by judges alone pre- vaiIs. On the other hand, the gov erRors. although nominally elected by the people, are frequently non-resi- dent army oficers coming direct from the national capital as avowed gov ernment candidates. Usually there is no opposition and one scarcely hears of the election, but on the other hand there have been one or two cleo tions reported in the press in which rival candidates fought out their diff ferences at the polls somewhat as they do here.
 The foreigner may do well to hes itate before jumping at too positive conclusions as to Mexican politics, or swallowing sensational reports. The personality of F-esicent Diaz is such that his influence is enormous. Let him want anything and he may very likely find way to get it without vio- lence to constitutional forms There are many things which he could not possibly attend to; and herein there is room for others to act and for con gross and courts to employ their powers. Whatever comes, there is no reason to suppose that Mexico will witness anything like national disor- der. Her constitution will work when put to the test, and her government will remain stable. Her people have learned the enormous value of such stability-Los Angeles Times
