A Reader Of the Stars.


4 YOUNG man was walking slow
N ly along a path that led up a
~ wooded ravine between two
timber covered ridges. 1t was
a quiet summer evening, and no sound
broke the stiffness save the soft sigh
ing of the winds among the leaves
He walked with his head bent and
his hands crossed behind him, and from
his general attitude and movements it
was easy to see that he was engaged
in earnest thought. His face, too, bore
a shade Of sadness, and one seeing him
would have readily guessed that he
had met recent disappointment.
He had gone on for some distance In
this way when suddenly figure stood
in the path before him. It was wo-
man. tall, long, haggered and wrinklcd
with age, and as she stood with her
arms outstretched and her hair hang
ing about her shoulders in tangled
mass, she appeared almost uncanny.
Her sudden and totally unexpected
appearance, the strange figure she pre-
scnted and the Wild expression of her
eyes caused the young man to start
and sent cold shiver over him. He
stood staring at her in silence and ave.
while she fixed her eyes on his face In
searching gaze that seemed to read
him through.
For full minute they remained So;
then. raising her hands entreatingly
and in deep, earnest tones, she cried:

Because you think your treatment
Is not just what the Lord
Should give to one so worthy
OF rich and large reward?
Are you the kind of thanker
Who thinks his thanks are worth
One thank to every forty
Good things he gets on earth
And If he doesn't gather
The forty, fair and fine.
Goes mean and will not offer
One thank for thirty-nine?
Say,
Are you built that way.
Or are you fair
And ready to take your share
OF the bad with the good.
AS every man should?
Brace up If you are wabbly,
Take hold II you are strong,
And thank the Lord you're able

his teeth met in way that BODIED

hat was green. However, he deter

with shake of his head would hang
it back on its hook.
