The day wore on, my GEAR,
And when the noon grew hot,
The drowsy birds forgot to sing,
And you and -
To talk of love or live for faith
Or build ourselves a nest,
And now our hearts are shelterless,
Our sun is in the West.
How many young couples who are,
in love with each other, and are I'M

Sometimes these great expectations,
are not realized in hurry. Bush

The young mans salary is cut instead
of raised. Marriage hopes are further
off than ever. The young. mans ex3
penses are just as high. room remit
food and clothing. It's well-nigh 1m3
possible to lay by dollar.
But with love at the helm they sail
on, hoping for better days. If the girl
is rich, her father may come to the
rescue and help out. He will do most
anything to see his daughter settled
and happy. Such girl believes she
is safe in taking the chances of his

girl dare not take the risk if his sal

serious problem to solve-giving up
the surety which places a roof over
her head and food for an uncertainty
They both love on through sunny
years and dark ones which stretch
beyond. They agree that they will
wed when fortune smiles upon them.
But they encounter only Dame For
tunes frowns. Thus they fritter away
life and youth.
A man can wed any time and be sure
Of a certain amount of happiness and
favorable results. But when woman
has passed the rubicon of youth her
chances of wedlock with home and
children therein, grow fewer. While
it is not advisable to say in each case
that it would be better to take time
by the forelock and taste of her sweet
ness and best fruits while one may,
there is much for and against such
decision.
The prudent couple need have little
hesitancy in wedding. They can live
better in welded life than in single.
His room can shelter two quite as
easily as it shelters him. While it is
not congenial for married woman
to be advised that she may have to
work after wedlock, yet there are ex-
tenuating circumstances. If she holds
her position for awhile, the combined
salaries of the two will enable them
to furnish the home nest, be it but
few small rooms. The girl always got

Out of Date.

It was the annual prize-giving at
the school, and one bespectacled lit
tie girl had received many prizes tes-
tifying to her cleverness.
The schoolmistress presently led
her forward and requested her to
recite Mary had Little Lamb"
Really" replied the supercilious
scholar, I could not recite that poem.
In the first place. it has little, 1; any,
literary value. and also it is not true
to life as it exists today Owing to
the high-indeed. the exorbitant-price
now charged for meat Mary would
have found it very difficult to have a
chop of her own, much less whole

release. deed Monks foreclosed on
the old trust deed and seized the prop
erty.
On the bleak Dakota prairie, half
way between the two towns, Mr.. Bliss
owned a small farm This was not in
Guided in the mortgage, and was in
herited by Norman, free of incum-
brance. 1t was a solitary, desolate
spot, but his only possession. With
manly spirit and a hopeful heart, he
took up his abode in the little one
story house, and started in to get a
profit out of the land.
1t proved to be phenomenal sea-
son for wheat, and he was proud and
joyful when he had disposed Of the
crop and figured up his gains. That
winter Viola was again at Plainfield,
visiting her relatives. Norman brought
his only live stock, his sturdy farm
team, to Plainfield, stabbed it at a
livery and remained month in the
town.
During those blissful four weeks he
was almost constant companion of
Viola. Not word of love passed be-
tween them, but he had every reason
to believe that Viola took something
more than a friendly interest in him.
self and his fortunes. When he had
hidden her good-by, her brother invited
him to their house in Riverdale i'll the
early spring, and there was positive
echo of the invitation in the express
sive eyes of his pretty sister.
So, all through the rest of the win
ter, Norman lived on the encourage
ment all this presaged. He hired a
man to run the farm early in May, and
went to Riverdale, as said, with
happy, hopeful heart.
Young Tascott acted like a true
friend, and Viola welcomed him with
apparent pleasure. Norman secured
a room at the village hotel. Every
afternoon there was tennis, or pic
mic or some society function at the
Tascott home, where Norman was re-
ceived as an honored guest. Viola
had her girl cousins visiting her and
they were sociable, jolly group.
Then that unfortunate afternoon
Norman was passing the open win
dow of room in which Viola and
some of her friends were gathered.
He heard his name spoken before he
reached the window. He heard, as he
passed it, those fateful words:
81 would not marry that country
lout, if he were the last man in the
world"
What inference could he divine ex-
cept the one that he had been under
discussion, and that Viola had spoken
her mind Stunned, crushed, humili-
ated, he fastened to the hotel With
in an hour he was fleeing from River
dale as though it held a pestilence.
He left no particular word for Viola
or for her brother.
Then, in solitude, loneliness and
gloom, Norman settled down to the
hardest kind of work on his little
farm. He never went to Riverdale,
he made no inquiries concerning his
former friends, the clock of his life
seemed to have stopped for him, and
he lost his nerve and ambition.
To make matters worse, the crops
were coenplete failure that year.
What produce Norman took to Plain
field to sell barely paid his debts.
Winter came on, and he was not able
to PIT in the usual annual supply of
coal.
It was a harsh. shivery season, full
