And the misty Massanutten. with IFS

Virginia her valleys.
All. what music she can sim,

or ncr amaranthine spring!
All yesterday saw her sttnding
with her dreamy smile
On the shores Of splendid rononco

Old Scotland wharf and Clare,

And what rhymntic spell is
Or Virginia in her valleys
With such rosy lips to kiss!
Oh, Berryvi'le, the beautiful Stras-

And little homes that nestle meath

had gone her way. Jimmy had not
dreamed OF her face, for he had
scarcely chance to look at It, but
he sometimes did recall with some
thing like pleasure the feeling OF
her slight weight In his arms as he
lifted her TO safety.
So now he called Clarsdon 77s
and asked for Miss Brown. he felt
somehow that she was somebody's
secretary. She must surely be a
girl IN business. He asked her II
she could get OF by 3. Or perhaps
she knew some one who could and
would do what he had to be done
in the pantry that afternoon. He
told her Of Il as a Joke and she took
It In the best Of spirits, contrasting
strongly with the manner Of Miss
Busby, And the only bit OF deceit
he asked was that Miss Brown
would introduce herself to Mrs, Tur'

Mr. Nash said he had statesmen in

the firm were sent to nearly every state
