The whole world loves you"
The girl was staring past Youth to
Misunderstanding with a hopeless

Hes right she whispered. Il hate

Youth started forward impetuously
and laid his hand on her arm.

The girl wiped her eyes with a FUZZY
bit Of lace handkerchief, and looked
down sheepishly. Il forgot them" she
murmured. But Youth was talking
again
You say that nobody loves YOU"
he asked her. You dare to say that?
How about your Sunday school class,
and your pastor, and all OF the people
that you love? Don't you think that
they return your Affection"
The girl was smiling now. A watery,
nearly happy little smile.

Then her face clouded But I'm tired

to the Girl Who Had the
Foolish Thought That
She Was Tired.

FASTER time lay over the land-a
II time of radiance and music, of birds
and flowers. Hearts beat happily in
tune to the Joy of an awakening
spring, and the golden lily-hearts were
reflected in every smile.
1t was Easter time, the time of
youth and brightness and resurrection
hardly the time for WEAKNESS to
visit the girl; but with head bent
toward her he was leaning over her
chair, talking softly, persuasively in
her ear.

old feet flor WEAKNESS is as old as

He had made a good beginning and
