THE GIRL

warm, ~ r.. 49, : 81
That winters chilly winds and snow
Seemed warm beneath the glow
or her brown eyes; and still they,
In time would lose their luster and
die, =. !. .-z.-.. = -.
Or fade. like the stars in yonder heay-
emily sky,
With the coming of morn.
THE LAD. 49,.
And he had in him all that's good to
Great Of mind was he, with muscular
frame, 49, ..>..
Fleet of foot, and known to all the
famed -
AS truly manly. and surely to succeed,
For they. were proud Of those that
breed ~. ~. 49,. -. -.
The love of one supreme being, God.
AND THE MANSION. =.
The mansion sturdy stood. ii. ..
Within the foresl, and trees that tow.
ering stood, ~. e..
Acting as sentries in the night i
Guarding the mansion from the
moons pale light,
And still, casting CHASTITY shadows be-
low e... r. -.
To dance about on the cold, hard
snow, 49,.
And brighten those who Haunted
These words, tbs haunted"

And here, upon one wintry day,
As the. wind whistled within the
wood, / "a -
Rafting the loose panes within their
lay, 81.
He met her as she gathered the wood
For the fire to cook her evening meal
And he stood at the olden gate,
After they had bid "goodby;" he
watched her go. 4
All, Fate was playing her hand.
II.
Then time grew on and they fonder
Each of the other; as together they
strolled
In the wood. and the warm spring
breeze
Would fan her cheek until they'd
blush, and as the bell tolled
The hour, in boyish attempt to tease
Would tell her Of their future home:
How the ivy would twine about the
posts of the gate.
All, still the hand Is held by Fate.
III.
Then time again brings us to their
side
Within the mansion or old;
Happy they are in their young mar
ried life,
Linked with the band of gold.
Then Fate takes a hand in their hap
piness -
And sorrow reigns Ger their gate.
To these things ] allude TO
The mighty hand Of Fate.

The many lights burn bright
Within the great bah room,
And the music sounds sweet to the
many feet
That are dancing away the gloom;
But in the archway she is standing
And a tear Ia in each eyeig ~
She has handed q note to the page
For her husband. and !. reads Good
by"
".
Again the old song breaks out anew.
And in sorrowing tones sang After
the Ball."
Still, within, the dancers glided away
And the music played on in the hall.
W.
Then. slowly. within the han he
stepped,
And staggering across the room,
His head bent forward. his chin on
his breast;
And the CHEEKY hall became one Of
gloom.
Someone asked, what can be
wrong?
Meier before have seen him so.
Oh, where can his young wife be-
Has anyone seen her go?"
VII. =
Then of sudden he stopped and
raised his head,
And, gazing about the place,
With a vacant stare and a gloomy air
That covered his form and face,
And a weak smile played quietly
around his lips
And he spoke in a shaky, sorrowful
voice,
"A toast. my friends. to my wife, no
more
Shall she rest within my house, and
her lips
No more shall be pressed to mine"
And, DER his face the sorrowing
smile of q race
That had been beaten; then sad
strains of music rose, and
Sorrow reigned Ger the place.
VIII.
Then time passed on and word came
back ~. m L. -.
That she had been left alone.
The man she had loved had left her
to die =. =
Then the masters heart turned to
stone; j.: ~ ...:. S..
Then out in the world he wandered,
To hunt for him who had done her
wrong. ... .s....-..
For days he tramped the country
across, .@... -. 49,. .."
