"teens' that lend so much to the
making or unmaking Of the man. The
mother saw in her son lad bright be-
You'd the average, with poets soul
instilled with her own beautiful fan
cies, and tender charm of person
which was beautiful to her at least
as dream of the morning.
But the day Of trial came, when at
this tender age the boy was put to
farm work. That was law as old
as Glendower- kindly meant, but in
exorable. The mother, true to her
docile nature, bent unquestioningly to
the rulings Of her lord. She accepted
this as she had accepted life and an
untoward fate.
Books were laid aside A new life
began for the boy. But the mothers
buoyant hope upheld her. After all,
bodily labor was honorable, needful,
a wholesome discipline And great
men had followed the pillow. She had
read somewhere In an old tattered
history Of a Cincinnatus and Scipio
Africanus who we're fond Of agricul-
ture. Men greater still perhaps dated
their high careers from this humble
beginning. Farm labor would
strengthen her son in sinew and fiber,
and she could wait-ah, how patient
ly she could wait!
But it was when the mother saw
the tender flesh tougher over muscle
and bone, the childish curls stiffen in
to coarse and unkempt hair, and the
intellectual pallor fade from the rud-
dy, sunburned face Of her boy that
she leaned most upon her dream child.
She felt his presence more acutely.
Her need Of him was greater as she
lapsed again into the treadmill ex-
istence of toll and lonely hours. Then
she was growing old and frail and
weary. Her limbs were weak, her
hands less steady at her work. Her
hair was silvering about the temples.
Only the eyes, where the soul looked
through, were young.
In her deary duties she felt his sus-
tanning arm; along the wind-swept
pathway over the hill; by the feeding
trough, where the hounds crowded
hungrily for their daily meals; by the
bell post, when she-poor, dreaming
mother-heard his voice, clearer by
far than the changing bell: II love
you, mother; I will never leave you
or forsake YOU"
The years passed slowly, revolving
in a monotonous way from season to
season. Midsummers crept, by IN
heat and dust, and autumns with the
hurry of harvesting. Then the long,
dull winters plodded on, with the care
of cattle and the sound of wood-chop-
ping In the hills. There were plow-
ings, sowings, and reapings, with the
dingdong' of the farm bell keeping
steady time.
From field and wood there was still
the trill of birds, jubilant and clear;
still the breath Of blossoming spring
upon the air. There were, as always,

easier to walk the hidden path Of his
father than to hew out his way alone.
He, too, might have had his dreams.
There was at times baffled look in
his beautiful eyes. as if the supreme
gifts of life had hung too high for
his unsteady arm. He could not soar
above unfriendly circumstances. His
slouching gait, his self-depreciative
bearing told all too plainly the sad
story of failure.
But the mother could not relin-
quish her one hope in life. She could
but trust, and wait, and pray.
Thus the twenty years had flown.
The momentous "teens" were passed,
the boy was nearing manhood, and the
dream was yet unrealized. There was
then one night in the gloom Of winter
something in the nature of a. tragedy,
when. the mother awaked suddenly
from her long dreaming. All alone
was she. There was no heart to con-
slider, no eye to pity. She knelt ON
the rude kitchen floor in unutterable
sorrow, and watched through an open
door her son in the flesh, who sat by
the fireside, with it's rude light flick
ering on his corrugated brow.
She gazed with fearful eyes. There
was the living picture of that one
whom she had always separated from
her ideal-a coarse and unkempt fig
ure, hardened into stoical indiffer-
ence. Gone were the signs of culture,
of refined thought, and pure aspira-
tons. There we're instead the rude
mannerism, the animal appetite, the
unwashen hands.
Where was the child of her prayer
flesh Of her flesh, spirit of her spirit9
Where was the exquisite grace, the
tender consciousness, of his poet soul?
Alas, there was no answer of eye, or
speech, or caress! There remained
only this sun-browned specimen of
manhood-the son Of Glendower.
These were her last days; and it
were better so. Her failing footsteps
were often called to tread that every
valley" that her soul most loathed;
but her going forth was more often in
glorious company, with an abiding
faith and the steadfast hope that
would not die. She lived with a clear
err spiritual vision; but it may be for
given her if her wearied heart leaned
more fondly toward that higher heav-
en- whittier her soaring spirit turned.
There is no need of prolonging this
story; nor is there need Of monumen-
tai phrasing over this one mother.
There are still many such. She left
her unfinished work one day and lay
down to rest never to rise again to
duty's call or beckoning. The sights
and sounds of her valley home would
soon know her no more. The kitchen
walls, the straining bell cord, the
wind-swept pathway, the squawking
fowls, even the scrubby hillside, with
its mullen stalks, were receding with
the things of earth. Her soul was
passing. Like as flower that fadeth

THROUGH The GATES of GOLD

hef as he lifted the limp and careless
hands: Mother, I love you, mother!'
She looked up and smiled with
mothers devotion in her beautiful
eyes.
"Mother, listen to me-" he cried,
in an insistent voice, as though calling
back the dead. "Listen, mother! I'll
be what you want me to be. / will
go out into the world and preach the
gospel you love and live your beau
tiful life among men. Do you hear
me, mother?"
And she whose unconquerable love
triumphed even in death looked up
again and smiled as the ever-ready
answer welled up from her heart Of
hearts: II know it, my darling; mo-
Their knows it well.''
The watchers smoothed her quiet
brow. He who was her husband lean
ed over her with a dumb sense of
loss, and wondered at the glory that
rested on the still face.
She was laid away to rest in the
depths Of that blue-green woodland,
where the whispering leaves caught
the simmer and sheen Of the river.
Within that lowly bed was the quiet
sleep. Without were sounds Of peace
the song of birds, the soft, low
lullaby of nature. The sunlight kiss
ed the humble mound, the wood VIC
let's bloomed above it, and western
winds from over the shimmering river
and through the Gates of Gold blew
softly over.
With this holy shrine in his heart,
the son passed out through the golden
gates with heart Of gold (what was
it he had gained-the sturdy strength
of his fathers will or the steady faith
Of his mother?), passed out, neverthe-
less, into that mothers far-distant
and beautiful world, with a message
and a mission; and surely the angel
Of the Lord went with him.
Privation and toll he might have
known in his search for that higher
life, and many stern necessities; but
never discouraged soul. His mission
was to give out, to share the treas
ures Of his multiplying graces, and
the way blosomed beneath his feet.
The gospel that he preached, whether
of hope or faith or charity, was given
freely from the unwasting fountain
of his cleft and chastened heart. And
so he went on, putting beauty into
the lives Of others and joy into
mourning hearts; breaking his simple
bread and serving thousands-bearing
about in his heart always the sacred
mound in the covert Of green and the
sparkle Of the distant river, where
the western winds blew softly through
the shining Gates of Gold.
He was known at last-this bright
evangel of the mothers heartily the
"gentleness that made him "great, "
by his upright walk, his incorruptible
honor, his unspotted garments. Men
loved him. The aged leaned upon

New York, May 27-The Norrh
German Lloyd passenger steamer. the
Princess Alice, ran aground near FIT.
Wadsworth on Staten island, while
passing out of the hanbor for Bremen.
The accident was due to fog.
Although the Princess Alice was
picking her way cautiously through
the narrows the weight of the great
steamer forced her bow high on the
rocks and almost in touch with the
sea wall which surrounds Fort Wads-
worth. The vessels stern, however. re-
manned af1oat and as the tide was ris-

felt confident OF getting his vessel
afloat within a few hours. The Princess
Alice carried a large number of pass
engers, but there WAS little excite
ment when the accident occurred.
