that he could muster for the attack.
"Pardner" had entered this excit-

cards. To him were delivered a pair

"Heigh-ho," said "Pardner" with par,

sun Is upeth, and jocund morn stand

He was feeling poetical, and what
ever Hillary bet, "Pardner" would re-

NO LIFE NEED Be EMPTY
New joys and New Life Can Always
30 Found to Take the Place
Of Those Lost.

Did you ever walk down a street
where many pretty homes and we'll
kept gardens could be seen and come
suddenly face to face with an empty
house, writes Margaret Wilkinson.
Did you not find the contrast some
thing painful?
You had been passing many houses
that showed unmistakable signs OF
life. There were curtains in the win
children's toys on the veranda, the
lawns were well kept, the flower beds
were full Of blossoms. Perhaps you
could even see a dear, white-haired
old lady in a parlor or sitting room as
you passed-or In another home you
caught glimpse Of small boy with
large doughnut in his iand-or a
mother talking to her baby as she
lifted II from the floor.
And then you came to the empty
house. The windows we're bare and
dirty and there was no vista beyond
them but blank walls. The walls were
stained and streaked with mud that
naughty little boys had thrown. The
weeds were rank and thick In the
lawn and in the flower beds. The house
was no longer home Of human life.
The life that was in II had gone out
and forgotten It.
Some lives are like empty houses.
The humanity. the inspiration and the
soul have gone out OF them. Perhaps
there has been q great disappointment
and the new tenant has not been found
to take the place OF the old-the new
Joy instead Of the one that could not
BIO had. the new work that would have
meant success instead OF tho old work
that did mean failure. And 20 the
eyes that The soul should shine

The beauty hat should abide within

The stains Of sosrow and syn3oIsm are
