THE UNSUCCESSFUL,
We met them on the common way;
They passed and gave no sign
The heroes that had lost the day,
The failures, half divine,
Ranged in a quiet place, we see
Their mighty ranks contain
Figures too great for victory,
Hearts too unspoiled for gain,
Here are earth's splendid failures,
Come
Irom glorious foughten fields:
Some bear the combat,
some
Are prone upon their shields,
wounds of
To us, that still do battle here,
If we in aught pwoevail,
Grant, God, a trinmnh not too dear,
Or strength, like theirs, to fail.

“THE LONG ARM.”
It was 6 o'clock in the evening, and
the editor of the “Monthly Rocket”
sat alone in his room at a large desk,
strewn with papers and cuttings,
ing thoughtfully at the sheets of man
uascript which be bad taken from a pile
before him,
*I can't understand it at all,” he
was thinking. “Except for the change
of scene, and the matter of turning a
collision into a fire—~the two

they're rather too similar for me to

“I don’t know quite what to say at
this early stage in the proceedings,” he
sald slowly: “but, let me see, first of
all, what's the sender's name and ad
dress? Ah! ‘Claude Hellingham, 14
Cadogan street, W.'"”
He paused irresolutely for a second,
and then wrote on the sheet in front of
him
“Dear Sir—If the author of the short
story, “The Solitary Soul,’ will call at
this office at 3 Thursday
afternoon, I or my representative will
be glad to see him”
“There, that ought to fetch him.”
said the man, with a peculiar smile, as
he signed the letter, “Douglas Baird,

“Mr. Claude Hellingham, perhaps?”

asked the man eagerly.
“Oh, yes, I think I may say I do. a

“I don’t quite understand.” returned
Baird wonderingly, “Is there such a

“Oh yes, very much so—I'm he—or,
rather, he's my nom de guerre,” she
answered quietly, seeming to enjoy his
