A Lonely Lake on an
Autumn Night.

The night was dark and the lake
was SO lonely that it seemed almost
dead. The waters were black and
still and the least sound echoed over
them from one side To the other.
The wind moved the dry autumn
leaves occasionally, causing weird
sounds to vibrate among them and
among the tall trees. Once Lonely
bird chlrped a cheerless little song
and coyote howled his sharp chilly
howl for fall rain. The moon was
hidden by dark masses of threatening
clouds that hurried across the sky In
all directions. A calm seemed over
everything, broken only by these few
noises at long intervals.

BALLROOM PATHos.

Trsmdy Of the Yearnins Heart That
Was Left to ltself.
TIE fourth dance was nearly over,
and she was still sitting by the wall,
her hands clasped In her lap and her
blank program dangling at her side
Che expression of pleasure which had
been spontaneous at the beginning Of
the evening had become nxed and
strained through the long period Of
waiting. At last the music ceased. and
the dancers, flushed and laughing,
scattered about the hall.
The girl rose stiffiy and tried to min
gle with the crowd. A few acquaint-
ances nodded absently, then moved
away. Bold In her distress, she elbow
cd her way into noisy group and laid
her hand timidly upon the arm Of one
Of the girls.
That's a pretty dress. Marie" she
aaid, trying to smile. THANK you
Are you having good timer 'T.0ve-
~" she answered, with a brave at
tempt to smile. Her friend hesitated,
then turned deliberately to her own
cOterie.
The wall flower stood awkwardiy
outside the closed circle. then pushed
toward another group The music
started up; there was mad confusion,
and the girl was caught in a scurry Of
young men finding their partners. Left
alone in the middle Of the floor and
bufreted by the dancers, there was
nothing for her to do but seek the wall
again.
Her cheeks burned in confusion az
she found herself again surrounded by
vacant chairs. She moved to the side
of two girls sitting farther down the
hall. For a moment she felt less con-
spicuous. But both girls were claimed
by their partners, and she was left
alone against the walk Pretty girls
glanced at her with genuine PITY girls
of uncertain popularity eyed her scoFn-
fully az they passed.
At last. blinded by a rush OF hot
tears, she arose and went from the
music and merriment into the silence
of the deserted dressing room. ~ San
