Back to the living and seen, here with
his roses and vines:
Here where the tenants are shadows and

Floats and rolls no more. Wheeling and

Down with a twittering flash go the

Down to the place made theirs by the
cold work of the sea.
Roses have had their day, and the dusk
Is on yarrow and wormwood-
Dusk that Is over the grass, drenched

Since Muriel expected to be in Lee

Davis lost no time in laying siege to
her heart. The minister's decisive
chin denoted that when he knew what
he wanted he went straight for 1t.
Luckily, they lived in q healthy,
cheerful community where calls upon
the world-weary were not necessary
and the dominic robbed no one in the
time devoted to counting. Since it was
nearing the end of the opera season,
he took Muriel frequently to that
realm OF wonderful music.
When she sang at concerts in the
city, he was always there to escort
her home and carry her floral tributes.
These flowers invariably lent their
sweetness to some humble dwelling in
the village.
"Isn't it wonderful to be blessed
with the power to help our fellow
mem" The Rev. Mr.. Davis voiced
this sentiment one evening as they
walked home through the lanes after
having called to see old Mrs. Gabel,
who didn't get to church often on ac-
count of the distance: Muriel had
sung some of the familiar old hymns
for her until the dear old soul had
wept from sheer happiness.

try. Anyway, I shall often look out
over the foot1ights and see-not a
swarm of faces-but thisi" Muriel's
gesture swept in the starry heavens,
the moonlit road and the great arch
of trees.
Suddenly the dominic turned and
took her in his arms. "You are not
going on any stage! 1t would take
you too far from me. You may do
all the concert work-all the church
singing you like-but always I will
come for you when night falls. Your
brother Jim sent me the god of love
and am going to hold on to it! What
do you think about it, dear?''
Evidently I am not to be allowed
to think" murmured Muriel, but with

All our life we have been looking

When a woman has a great deal of

QUAKER NEGOTIATIONS.

IFrom the Philadelphia Record.]
A widow always talks about how
young she was when she first married.
Many a man makes his play harder
than his work, and doesn't get paid
for it. at that.
It's a good thing the unexpected
doesn't always happen, or it would
cease to exist.
The cheapest looking thing at a
bargain counter is always man
waiting for his wife.
When a man does make up his
mind to make a fool of himself he
seldom skimps the job.
Every man is entitled to his opin-
ion, and some feel that they are en-
titled to at least a dozen different
ones.
An authority on any subject is
merely a man who upholds the opin-
ions we have previously expressed.
