In the Course of the Day.

The man sets out with a hope as
clear as the breath of the morning
whose fresh yigor makes riot in his
veins. At tiptoe. and like a blooded
racehorse, he enters and goes down
the course. Through all the speeding
hours he puts forth strength in action
surrounding the fatigue Of MONDAY
and looking to the days end that will
bring peace. Slowly he wearies under
the burden bearing, his eagerness fall
ing to less buoyant levels. Then at
evening he returns, well wearied and
content, to the sweetness of his home
and finds renewal. It is the dwelling
place of a love untroubled by his fail
ures.-Collier's Weekly.
