In the night, in the night,
When thou liest alone,
Ab, tne sounds hat are blown
In the freaks of the breeze,
By ths spirit that sends
The volce of far fitends

In the night!
In the night, in the night,
When thou lest alone.
Ah, the ghosts that make moan
From the days that are sped:
The old dreams, the old deeds,
The old wound that still bleeds,
And the face of the dead
In the night!
In the night, in the night,
When thou liest alone,
With the grass and the stone
O%r thy chamber so deep,
Ah, the silence at last,
Life's dissononce past,
And the only pure sleep

It was not chance alone that
afternoon in question. Four o'clock
gaw Kennaby finished for the day
He had memory of afternoons, simi-
lar in atmospheric texture to this one,
that were now many years agone.
Five or six-—nay, seven—years had
passed by since then.
Along this south side he had walk-
ed then to meet Someone—how often?
Brushed up, happy, shyly excited-—
with his coat fastened tightly over a
light heart, a bunch of violets in his
buttonhole, a paper bag of chocolates
in his pocket.
Seven years since, eh? Well,
grow older and grow no worse!
Past and done with? Possibly—
like so many other happy memories.
Someone had been too afrald to marry
8 poor man.
“We mightn't have been happy to
gether after all. Probably quite the
reverse,” he mused.
With a bunch of violets in his coat
and chocviates in his

He smiled to himself even more as
& faint perfume reminded him that
old Kingdone had insisted on giving
him a bunch of glass-house violets
Kennaby decided that he now only
needed the chocolates. “Upon
word,” thought he, “I'll get them, [t's
good to be young again after all these
years.”
He turned toward a shop on his left
hand. The shopman was busy with
a customer, a girl neatly dressed and
clearly in no hurry to be gone. “I
want some of that especial cake.” she
was saying. She glanced swiftly at
Kennaby, then her face was hidlen
from him altogether. “Some of that
wedding kind of cake, you know.” she
went on explaining.
“We only make it at Christmas,
madam.” answered the man.
“Must I wait until Christmas for
it, then?" asked the girl, in a droll
voice. Bhe gave a half-vexed
laugh, and Kennaby felt his heart
stand suddenly In an instant
of time ‘seven years slipped off his
shoulders,

Some one from behind passed him-—
with an oblique glance; he seized her
by the arm, with headlong words,
“You did startle me!” she cried.
“Fancy it being truly you! Yes, I
thought I saw you in the shop. . . .

“Nor you, save to look younger and

“For you?”
“Oh, yes; I'm an artist, you know,

The Mystery of a Brigand's Mead.
From Sicily comes a ghastly story
reminiscent of the Middle Ages. A
man’s head in an advanced state of
decomposition was found impaled on
a post outside the walls of Palermo.
Attached to the post was a card bear
ing the words: “This is the head of
the infamous brigand Varsaloasa.”

the property of a certain Paron Ani

the trial of the notorious Varsaiona
for murder, and offered a large re
ward for his capture,
When the daughters of the brigand
were confronted with the head one
declared It was that of hor father,
but the other denied it. The brigand’s
sweetheart, however, recognized the
head by the filling in a front tooth.
