Youth and Old Aue.

I have theory that old age is in
better touch with youth than middle
age. The grandsires and grandams
of all time are evidence. Through
a beautiful foresight of nature the old
folk are living their young days over
again in memory, and yet have lived
long enough to see that If youth is full
Of joyance and age of care, the care
Is matter Of no great account, while
the joyance was the rich reward OF
life-Robert M. Gay, in the Atlantic.

Just as Gresham had slipped out
for more water, the portieres opened
and Lucy entered. At once with in
stinctive pity she rushed over to the
poor huddled form.
Mrs. Levinson shuddered.
"You-his wife, she faltered, "a
Christian woman. * * What can

Lucy's blue eyes flashed a startled
query.

Mrs. Levinson spoke in mixture
of Yiddish and English, but the pur-
port of her broken phrases was al
most meaningless to Lucy. A great
wave of tenderness leaped out of her
heart to the little old woman. Mrs.
Levinson had risen and was totter-
ing toward the door when Lucy ran
over to her, drew close her pitlful
form and smothered her with ca
resses.
"Poor, poor mother" she comfort
ed, while Lyons stood gaping at the
pair, mother | am your daughter.

mother! p
Imply, Bennett saw his mother
open her eyes in a look of troubled
wonder. With a wan look of mere
dulity upon her face she attempted
to speak, but could not. In. Lucy's
arms, like tired child that had at
last found sweet cool nurse, she
tainted away.
When Lucy returned after lead
ing Mrs. Levinson to her bedroom,
she found Bennett sitting at the table
staring absently.

she said and left the ROOM

Next morning Lyons brooded
over his breakfast. His hands were
wedged into the pockets of his
housecoat; his chin was pressed
against his breast Under the eyes
faint pencilings of worry and sleep
lcssness had done their work.
Yesterday, filled with self-re
proach, he had confessed everything
to Lucy-even made himself more
contemplate in her eyes than he
actually was. He recalled wildly
the little shrek she had given, her
pleading, ooh, Bennett" her white
face and accusing blue eyes. He sat
at the breakfast table like one who
with stained soul awaits the
Judgment Day.
His thoughts were interrupted by
the entrance of Lucy. A throb of
gladness on seeing her was con-
gealed into dread of the stony inn
mobility of her features.

Bennett felt cowed. His wife's
hair was disheveled; her eyes were
tired and yet there was an assertive-

the privilege Of being sympathetic.

attended to every detail. 1t was all
over in a few minutes. Lucy plead

in order to lie down awhile; he don

After mixing the colors on his pal

that to attempt serious work in the
condition he was in was impossible.
