ment Of ~sharpshooters and were as
signed to the same company. One day
they were out on the picket line snip
Ing for the Spaniards. Their posi-
ton was behind a stone wall, its con-
tinuity broken here and there. Ralph
was on n side Of a gap, while Ed
gar was on the other side. the opening
between them being eight or ten yards.
Edgar concluded to make a dash to
join his brother. He had passed safe
ly over all but a couple Of yards Of the
distance when Ralph saw a Spanish
s~harpshooter taking aim at HIS brother.
Ralph had just emptied his piece or
he would have shot the Spaniard. As
1t was, he sprang between him and
Edgar and received a shot which.
grazing the spine, paralyzed his lower
limbs. He was discharged from the
service and sent home. where he SUBJ
mitted to an operation that partly re-
stored his locomotive powers, but he
was In a measure crippled for life.
As soon as the var was over Edgar
Townsend rejoined his brother. resolv-
ing to devote the rest Of his life to
him. Ralph was twenty years old.
Edgar twenty-five. Ralph would not
admit that he was crippled and was
very sensitive at the mention of his
being so. As for Edgar making any
change whatever in his life's plans on
his account he would not hear of it.
nor did Ralph seem to realize that he
had sacrificed himself for his brother.
He considered what he had done SIM
ply In the line Of his duty as a SOL
der. Edgar, on the contrary. was i'm
pressed with the idea that his brother
had taken a burden which he should
have borne himself.
Nevertheless as soon as Edgar saw
that Ralph was averse to such an In
depreciation of the status between
them, he refrained from any mention
of 1t, and wherever 1t was possible to
conceal any sacrifice he made for his
brother he did so. He soon came to
studying Ralph's wishes, and wherever
they confiicted with his own, made pre-
tense that what Ralph wanted was dis
tasteful to him.
Then came Edith Payne into the
lives Of the brothers. She was sympa-
thetic with Ralph. but her heart went
out to Edgar. The one she loved as
one who needed her, the other she
loved as one she needed. Edgar, MOTTO
ing that his brother was daily grow
ing more dependent on her. refrained
from paying her any marked attention.
As time went on Edgar perceived
that Edith was growing to be a neces
sity to Ralph. Moreover, he noticed
that while Edith was devoted to Ralph,

was setting toward himself. One day

In and Out of the Children's Playroom
DO YOU KNOW KING MIDAS?
It Was He Who Touched the Flowers
and Turned Them to Gold.

~ u ~ SS'9s
Do you remember old King Midas,
who was given the golden touch? And
do you remember how he hurried into
the garden and touched all the flow
ers, turning them to pure gold? And
how happy he was till he tried to swal-
low a potato and 1t turned into a hot
lump of gold In his throat? And until
lie kissed his little daughter and turn
ed her into a golden image? Well,
wasn't the golden touch hateful to
him then? He cried and moaned till
the fairy stranger told him how he
might rid himself Of it. l guess you
remember how he plunged In the
stream at the bottom of the garden as
the fairy had told him to; how he filed
his vase with its pure water and sprin-
killed. it over his little daughter Mari
gold. so that she turned to warm flesh
and blood again. Then You remember
how he ran into the garden and sprin-
killed. the rest upon the flowers. so that
they turned from gold to their natural
colors again.
But l don't believe anybody ever told
you that he didn't have enough water
for all of them. and In the corner OF
the garden he had to leave a whole
cluster of them gold. And from that
day to this that particular flower has
always been golden. You a see 1t
now. cleaning in the lanes and fields.
and when you see the goldenrod just
remember that it is King Midas flow
err and that it has been gold ever since
he touched it. years and thousands of

The Coming Tower
yrARN FOR THE YARNS OF A YEsrERYEAR.

Come tell me a tale of the salty sea;
OF tho reef where the breakers roar;
Where the scudding spune flies fast and free,
Where the sea-bird screams in a mournful key,
Der an unmarked island shore.
Yea sing me a song Of n shattered ship,
On a strange unchartod strand;
of a treasure wrung from the pirates grip;
of the cutass keen and the lecring lip
OF the chief Of the pirate band.
AID tell Of the clean -imbed brown eyed maids
Clear skinned of olive hue,
Who glide thro' the cinnamon scented glades
That the cocoanut tree or the date palm shades;
Or battle in the pillows blue.
For tire of your tales Of the pulsing pave;
Of the turbulent, furnished town;
And yearn for yarn of the windswept
And the deeds of the strong man, bold and brave.
BE he yellow white brown.
So watt me away, your printed page,
To where dangerous deeds done,
With the rich of a bygone age,
In the perilous paths where the heather rage,
Meath the sutry Southern
O give me a glimpse Of hcadand bluff,
On a starcrowned tropc night
When the voice of the helmsman and gruf-
in short give me some Of that stirring stuff
That Stevenson used to write. A. P W.
