    v THE HAPPIEST HEART,
Sho drivés tho horses of the sun
Shall lord it but a day;
Better the lowly deed were done,
And kept the humble way.
The rust will find the sword of fame,
The dust will hide the crown;
Aye, none shall nail so high his name
Time will not tear it down,
The happlest heart that ever beat
Was in some quiet breast
That found the common
sweet,
And left to Heaven the rest.
—John Vance Cheney.
A NEW MEXICAN EPISODE.
——
daylight
BY CLAIRE POTTER,
The sun shone hotly on Anita ranch,
which lay like a small excrescence on
the dun-colored earth. The adobe
house, the fences, the corral, all wore
the sun-baked shade of the level
ground. The silence was not a strange
and dreamy thing, as is usual in soli-
tude: ‘twas a hot, flerce, aggressive
silence, which seemed to challenge dis-
turbance. No or flying
buzzed in the air, and, as far as
could reach, no shade came between
the flery sun and the flat gray mesa.
The wind, always defiant, blew
bravely across the sagebrush, carrying
with him the remonstrant breath of
the sun, who protested against the per-
sisent rivalry and would not give him
full sway. Their competition gave life
to the cattle on the range, to the suf-
fering cowboys, and to the small
group of people on the ranch-house
portel,
The sloping roof gave shelter
the sun's rays, and the wide-open
doors through the long hall caught
every whiff of the erratic wind as he,
still warring with the sun, blew here
and there. .
A low hammock occupied the most
shaded spot, and in it swung a girl.
Her face was dark and small and her
“ittle head was covered with a thick,
short crop of black curis; her eyes
were very large and darkly gray. All
else about her was small—the tan-col-
ored shoes, the slender hands
scarlet mouth—and she tock but a
speck of room in the wide hammock,
forming a piquant contrast to the two
men beside her. They were both tall
and athletically built; their skins were
of the same color the house and
earth. with a liberal dash of added
red. One was pronouncedly dark; the
other blue of eye and yellow of hair.
Even before they spoke they were pro-
claimed Englishmen. The darker on~

How different was the old adooe
hot grayness had all gone, and the
parched, unlovely earth looked cool
and soft in the clear light. The sage-

and the wind, fickle fellow, seemed

hand in hand they searched every
nook and corner, blessing all living
things as they went, The portel seem-

Seeking shelter from the heat in the

paper was still firmly grasped in her
stiffening fingers. She did not change
her position; the brown face turned
a sallower shade, and the eyes had a
glowing flerceness. She neither cried
the paper and replaced it in the bag.
Night came again; the moon came
back to the old portel, and with the
wind played a sweet duo in the accus-
tomed way. But there was no appre-
clative grace in the heart of the small
creature who sat here. With wind-
burned face and raging heart she

sharply, "Augusta Victoria!”

She started toward the gate,
swiftly following.

Jack stood, not as she had so short

is called the “first position,” the rifie

hours before the passage of the im-

An hour before the imperial train
passes they assume the “third posi-

the line and the train, and allowing no
one under any circumstances to ap-
proach within a hundred yards of the
track until ten minutes after the Em-

Origin of the Peach.
The Japanese, who claim to have first
discovered or utilized the peach, have
a quaint legend as to the fruit. A pious
old couple, stricken with years and
poverty, subsisted by begging. One
day on the highway, the old woman
found the beautiful ripe fruit. Although
most famished, she did not seifish.y eat
the Juscious fruit alone, but took it
home to divide with her husband. As
the knife cut into it the fruit opened
and an infant sprang forth, who told
the astonished beggars that he was the
god Shin To, and had accidentally fall-
en from the orchard of the apanese
heaven while at play with some other
gods and goddesses. For extricating
him from the peach Shin To gave the
Japs its seed to plant and told them
its product would make them wealthy.
This is the crigin of the peach, accord
