Leaving the rest for others to do.
We hope all our scribbling has not
suite been lost,
As we've scratched off the news
for the press;
Of literature fine, we're not able to
boast,
But we've tried to write truly, not
guess.
That all have been pleased with the
stories we've told,
We can't hope has been true to the
letter;
But at least we have tried to tell
things not too old,
Though what we have told might
be better.
We leave it to you, as we bid you
goodbye,
Hoping to write in the future;
With regret if our scratch may no
more meet your eye,
We come to the end-to the clio

The one that prowled of yGre;

Their marriage had stretched over
IL years, and there were two chill
dren, nine and seven years old.
Neither Mcdonald or his wife gave
consideration to the fact that the
ages Of their children might have much
to do with the steadily increasing In
clemency OF their life together. The
fact Of the matter was that the chill
dren had passed babyhood in safety.
They were in school: no longer were
they monopolizing the attention of
their parents, and, consequently, after
all these years, Jane and Mcdonald
had time to think about themselves.
Jane was not the sort of person to
think and analyze, but she felt. Her
emotions were headstrong and she was
undiplomatically frank In describing
them. She knew that some essential
element had gone out Of their mar
rage, some element she craved. With
something OF fear she realized that
she did not love Mcdonald. The urge
which had swept her into marriage
with him, and made their first years
together very sweet and wonderful.
