HOPEFUL AGE

Hope springs eternal In the human
breast"
And men of three score and ten feel
themselves blessed
That NO longer are they aroused by
infant weeping
To hunt paTegOric, and walk the
floor when gently sleeping,
But In Persia the census taker found
hearty and alive
A man who claims he is one hundred
and fOrty-five,
And has a child four months old and
several others,
A young wife, and q flock of friEky
sisters and brothers.
Poor man has many burdens to bear
in this life
But when old with q baby and
juvenile wife,
1t seems nature (Allah be pralsefI)
In Persian community
Insists from little troubles that
gather around there ls no inn

gesture had been made. Inefficient
servants they could understand: no
servants they could not.
But no young people came. The ral-
lying was of the older generation. The
young ones did not know Holly.
And Holly was puzzled about her
mother. There was q strange excite

From the day of the engagement. she
had been like one who carries, warm
and safe, a wonderful secret. She

She merely moved her eyes until they
rested on the girl.
Better she said. 'Of course. he'll
get better. They're letting him cut"
"When?"
Mrs Bayne took off her hat, still
with that fixed and dreadful look. and
picked up her cup, before she spoke.

Then Mrs. Bayne broke down. She

marriage, their poverty. the old dis.

of life had let her down-everybody
everything, She wanted to die. She
| couldn't go on any longer.
| 1t was not new to Holly. She had
| heard it all before. But now there
was difference; there was an under
| lying current of reproach for her. She
could help, if she would: at least
could save herself out of the wreck.
age. She knew we'll enough that such
salvage was to save her mother as
her mind to that.
BY the time Mrs. Bayne ceased, and
wiped her eyes, she had made up her
mind. After all what did it matter?
What were dreams against this stark
reality?
If You think marrying Furness
would help she said slowly. Il will

And, to do her credit, Holly did tell
Furness. Not precisely in those
words. but he understood her we'll

How could you. shut away like this?"
1t was speedily evident, however,
