But to live in this dream that is not

For beyond all bourne the traveller
will find no pain;
Bur the sweetness we find is only

HER UTMOST HOUR"
by Mrs. Francis James Oakes.

Weary of being led where you can
rest if you will,
You're weary when only in fancy you
see the hill
You are so weary of waiting for the
promised goal
You scorn the Masters promise who
won't cajole.
Weary. you demand that He TO the
cross return,
That you, with wild, mad ecstacy
may burn.

hallowed cry;
Il want to have, to see and know. or,
God. let me die
Weary one. while He was showing us
the way,
Know you not His heart bled day
by day?
Weary, you would demand that He
suffer as before
While idly you command your cup OF
pleasure and more!
Weary, like the lazy wind or sobbing,
hooking sea,
Not like the bird, the rose or the
restless. busy bee,
Working in unison with Him, wait
ing the dover.
Reward of all that bide the promised
hour.

think unborn.
Find in complete surrender and know
the unseen morn;
Silent, mute, abandoning flesh as

This is extremely amusing, it is true
to life and I have laughed right
through il: but I am afraid that the
third act is going to prove too much
of the same" Then the very spectator
who has spoken in this way goes
right on, laughing to the end of the
third act, just as he has during the
rest of the play. Ii is this variety
in the presentation of similar Incl
dents that makes Potash and Peri
mutter" such a successful dramatic
version Of short stories.
Charles Klein. in spite Of his diplo-
matte denials, was concerned in the
dramatization OF the play, Whether
he introduced the dramatic incident
of the Russian tragedy or whether he
