, OUTWARD BOUND. By Clinton Meollard. When the veil of gloom was drawn From the brooding breast of the sea, Out of the damask of dawn A heartening wind slipped free. When the canvas was unfurled Our boat seemed a living thing; And into the vast sea-world It leaped as a bird takes wing. The foam flew, flake on flake, And the ripples raced by our side; And the bubbles danced in our wake, *All of them rainbow-ayed. The gus, the clouds, and the spray— The brotherly ancient sun— The great blue bosom of day— We claimed them as kin each one! Doubt grew but a wraith outworn: We had never an enemy; We were part of the vital morn, And the gray eternal sea. Care, and the world's dark wiles— They were as a cast-off theme: We were bound for the Fortunate Isles And the beckoning Coasts of Dream. ~Coller's Weekly. When She Had Learned the Code.

What did the letters mean? That Will Allen loved her was a matter of no doubt; that he would tell her so seemed unlikely; and Jeanie, with Jamie yet on her hands, and the beridden mother? upstairs, had no thought to spare from her knitting for matrimony. Jamie was doing wen at school. ovening, with his schoolbooks, he brought a stout, weather-beaten vol- ume, which he studied wita great dili- gence while Jeanie got tea.

Half way up the street he turned off and stopped beforz one of the small gray stone houses. A woman sat with her back to the window knitting a white shawl with marvelous rapidity. Will Allen watched her for a 1ew minutes. Her fair hair, knotted neat- ly, her broad back and nimble fingers had a cheerful, friendly sort of look to the casual passerby, but an expres sion of doubt crept into Will's bronzed face. “I'll never say it,” he muttered, “I’ best go straight up to mother's.” He was turning back into the main street, when a small boy, swinging his satchel on the way home from school, accosted him. “Why, it's Will Allen back again’ That's grand! Have you brought me anything this time, Will? Jeanie Jeanie, here's Will Allen back!” Jeanie looked up from her knitting as the boy dragged the half-reluctant Will into the little kitchen. “Why, Will,” she said, with you? 1 saw the Eda was safe in Aberdeen, but we did not expoct you here just yet!
