The Voice From the Pad

The Voice From the Past.
Though the doctor left the church
with Shirley and her mother, he did
not drive to Rosewood, but to his Of
fee. There, alone with Mrs. Dan,
bridge while Shirley waited in the
carriage, he unlocked the little tin
box that had been the majors, with
the key Mrs. cambridge gave him, and
put into her hands a little packet OF
yellow oiled-silk which bore her name.
He noted that it agitated her pro
foundly and as she thrust it into the
bosom of her dress, her face seemed
stirred as he had never seen it. When
he put her again in the carriage. he
patted her shoulder with a touch far
gentler than his gruff goodby.
At Rosewood, at length, alone in her
room, she sat down with the packet in
her hands. During the long hours
since first the little key had lain in
her palm like live coal, she had beer
all afire with eagerness. Now the
moment had come, she was almost
afraid.
She tried to imagine that letters
coming to her-then. Thirty years
ago! A May day, a day OF golden
sunshine and flowers. The arbors had
been covered with roses then, too, like
those whose perfume drifted To hel

"Is you gwine away en- leabe oil Jer-

The cracked but loving voice struck

whispered, and Shirley felt his head

TWO Rules of Life

There are two great rules of life,
says Samuel Butler, the one general
and the other particular. The first
is that everyone can, in the end, get
what he wants if he only tries. This
is the general rule. The particular
rule is that every individual Is, more
or less, an exception to the general
rule.

But when the faded rose-colored
gown and the poor time-yellowed slip
pers had been laid back in the hair
cloth trunk; when, her door once more
unbolted, she lay in her bed in the dim
glow of the reading-lamp, with her
curling silvery hair drifting across the
pillow and the letter beneath it, at
last the tears came coursing down her
cheeks.
And with the loosening of her tears.
gradually aud softly came joy-infi-
nitely deeper than the anguish and
sense of betrayal. 1t poured upon her
like trembling flood. Long, long ago
he had gone out of the world-it was
only his memory that counted to her.
Now that could no longer spell pain
or emptiness or denial. 1t was engold-
ened by new light, and in that light
she would walk gently and smilingly
TO the end.
She found the slender golden chain
that hung about her neck and opened
tne little black locket with it's circlet
Of laureled pearls. And as she gazed at
the face it held, which time had not
touched with change. the sound of
shirley's harp came softly In through
the window. She was playing an old
fashioned song, of the sort she knew
her mother loved best:
Darling, I am growing old.
Silver threads among the gold
Shine upon my brow today;
Life Is fading fast away.
But, my darling, you will be
Always young and fair to me.
Outside the leaves rustled, the birds
called and the crickets sang their un-
ending epithalamia of summer nights,
and on this tone-background the mel
Ddy rose tenderly and lingeringly like
4 haunting perfume Of pressed flowers.
She smiled and lifted the locket to her
face, whispering the words of the re-
train:
Yes. my darling, you will be
Always young and fair to me!
The smile was still on her lips when
she fell asleep, and the little locket
still lay In her fingers.

very small pink-tinted designs of roses,
