JUST
BE GLAD.
BY JAMES WHITCOMB RILUY.
O heart of mine, we shouldn't
Worry so!
What we've missed of calm we couldn't
Have you know!
What wo've met of stormy pain,
And of sorrow's driving rain,
We can better meet again,
If it blow.
We have erred in that dark hour,
Wo have known,
When the tears fell with the shower,
All alone

Let us tomper our ¢ mteut
With His own.
For, we know, not every morrow
Can be sad;
So, forgetting all the sorrow
We have had,
Let us fold away oar fears,
And put by our foolish tears,
And through all the coming years
Just be glad.
The Diamond Scarf-Pin.
That scarf-pin? No: I don’t think
you have ever seen that before. [t's
not often that I show anybody the
things in this box. They're trinkets
that I picked up in different parts of
the world ;: and every one of them has
a story of some sort connected with
ic story, in most cases,
pity. So that there's a
sanctity about them, a kind of
that they shouldn't be handled
gloated over by every
ger who comes into my diggins.
Now, this string of sham pearls, for
instance, that used to belong to poor
little Flo Martin—Bob Martin's
child. You neversaw her; but you
remember the father, don’t you?

“No, sir. We couldn't, nohow.
Only I can tell yon this. No jeweler
made that pin, Just to put in his win-
dow and #ell it. That pin was male
to order, wherever it was made and
whoever ordered it.”
“Well,” I said, “it seems a queer
busiress altogether ; but I'll take the
pin, anyhow. It’s rather a curiosity;
and if it has been stolen and the
owner ever comes across we, he shall
have it and welcome, Good-morning,
and thanks for telling me about it.’
** Good-morning, sir, and thank
you, sir.”

Having seen everything thus set

on deck. We had dropped our mopr-
ings, and were just moving ahead;
so that the ship had been cleared of
all the shore-going people. Rut the

“N-—no, not mine. I-I never set

“ Really, Charteris, if you are su.

I couldn't help watching Charteris
that day at breakfast. And he, I no-
ticed, kept glancing round at me,
every now and then, witha queer
furtive expression that puzzled an
annoyed me, And, throughout the
whole of the voyage, it was just the
same with him. All his spirit seemed
