have it in time Perhaps they were
just as white a pair hands as yours,

sands of them-her fngres trembled IN
haste and her heart flutttered pain
fully. For Mademoiselle wanted her
frock for dance tonight, the madame
had said. And the gown, passing from
eirl TO girl, arrived at last to little
Tired Shoulders, with the deft fingers
for finishing. And her eyes shone and
half shut with the beauty of the stuff
under her hands.
And girl-eyes and girl-fngers and
girl-heart drew a bit of secondhand
thrill out of frugal draught of sec
o2d-hand joy-seeing in fancy the
lucky girl who was to wear the little
dream dress on her way to her prec-
icus dance.
The brown box that comes to you
holds not only frock and pink and
white tissue paper! About it cling
countless lovely ghosts-girl hands
that have fashioned and caressed it; a
simmer that may be the light of girls
eyes that have labored and beamed up.
On it; its rustic, the faint repetition of
some beating heart that bent above il.
A box of dreams it is-from Judy
Q Grady" to the "Colonel's Lady"
And, mind you, remember it. Mind
you remember that all the joy some
girls ever have is second hand!"

Out of the night thai covers me,
Black as the pit frfom pole to pole,

For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance

Under the bludgeoning of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid,
Ii matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishment the

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY,

10 not, then, stand idly waiting
For some greater work to do;

Do not fear to do or dare:
If you want a field of labor,
You can find it anywhere.

A ROYAL Snake Slauahterer.

The secretary bird" is one Of the
most precious birds in South Africa.
It is royal game, and any person de-
stroying one is liable to fine Of EDO.
Majestic looking birds, they stand
about three feet high and generally go
In pairs. They are Of drab color, with
black, feathery legs, and are valued for
their propensity for killing snakes.
Where the secretary bird Is seen there
are sure to be many reptiles about.
The bird beats down Its adversary
first with one wing and then with the
other, at the same time trampling on
II with its feet until the snake is suffi-
ciently stunned to catch 1t by the head
with its claws Then the bird rises far
up In the air and drops its victim to
the ground to be killed. BY this means
thousands OF venomous reptiles are de-
stroyed.-LOndon Scraps.
