He ducked down behind his own

recognized at the wheel of the 9th

his mind. He promptly decided to
act on that.
Quaintance had not beeen idle
since he and O'Ferral had parted
during the small hours and after q
prolonged Interchange of conf

noisy city and while his brain was
yet busy with the strange events

he had also a noteworthy knack of

and headed by way of Jamaica to
Lynbrook then back through Far

and strolled toward the shore.
Jules Chevrel, following at a safe
distance, also stopped at the inn

IAN Old Sweetheart of Mine"

An Old Sweetheart OF Nine.
BY James Whitcorbe Riley
As who comes at evening DER album
And muses. on the faces Of the friends that he
he's known,
SO ! turn the leaves of fancy till, in shadowy
design,
I find the smiling features of an old sweet
heart Of mine.
The lamplieht seems to glimmer with flicker
of surprise
As / turn it low to rest me of the dazzle of
my eyes;
And | light my pipe in silence save a sigh
that seems to yoke
Its fate with my tobacco and to vanish into
smoke.
thong hts that start
Into being are like perfumes from the blossom
of the heart;
And to dream the old dreams over IS a LUXURY
When my truant fancies wander with that old
sweetheart OF mine.
Though l hear, beneath my study, like fut
tering OF wings
The voices of my children and the mother as
she sings,
feel no twinge OF conscience to derry me any
When care has cast her anchor in the harbor
Of dream.
In fact, to speak in earnest, believe it adds
charm
To spice the good a triAe with little dust of
harm,
For ] frd ar extra flavor in memory's mellow
wine
That makes me drink the deeper to that old
sweetheart of mine
a face Of lily beauty ard form of airy grace.
Floats out of my tobacco as the geni from
the vase;
And thrill beneath the glances of a pair of
azure eyes
As glowing as the Summer and as tender as
the skies.
And again I feel the pressure of the slender
little hand.
As used to talk together OF the future we
had planned
When I should be poet ard with nothing
else to do
But write the tender verses that she set the
music to.
When we should live together in coy little
cot,
Hid i nest of roses, with a fairy garden
Whle the wires were ever fruited ard
weather fine.
And the birds were ever singing for that old
sweetheart OF mine.
When I should be her lover forever and day,
And she my faithful sweetheart till the golden
hair gray;
Ard We should BE- so happy that when others
lips were dumb
They would not smile in Heaven till the
others kiss had come.
But ali my dream IS broken by step upon
the stair.
And the door IS softly opened and my wife is
star ding there!
Yet with eagerness and rapture all my visions
