. HIS GIFT. My little boy of six, one day. came In and wheedled me— With heart as light as thistledown As ev'ry boy's should be— To make for him some overalls, and 80 | made a pair, And now he almost lives in them— we're miles from anywhere; He wanted just one pocket, and its size is six by three, But how he makes it hold so much is always puzzling me; He came in all puffed up this morn, and in my apron laid The contents of this pocket, and he said: “Don't be afraid, They're just the bheautifullest things iI think you ever had.” He was so happy that I had not heart to make him sad; { praised his gift! my apron held two worms tied to a nail, A lizard, crawfish, turtle, dragon fly and snail. Afrald! How could I be afrald with sharp eves watching me! f took th’ ugliezt in my hand and stroked it, gingerly. ~M.

By LOUISE SANBORN. ~~ Herbert Bryce was not a sentimen- taust, but a practical, hard-headed young man of stern New England par entage, whose rugged manhood had ween formed in the school of economy and self-denial. As for love at sight Spe would have scoffed at the idea if it had ever suggested to him, but his thoughts had never wandered into the rosy realms of love, and none of his friends would | have considered asking his opinicn upon any phase of that subject. He had never found time to enjoy the society the gentler sex, intent | as be was upon making a success of his chosen profession—that of an architect. Nevertheless, almost un. consciously he had formed an ideal of a bome that some day would be his and of the quiet, sweet woman mode! led in his imagination after his moth- | er who should sit beside a work basket under the lamplight to cheer him when his day's work was done into this very conservative air cas- le there came crashing one day a beautiful, tropical creature, the exact ant'thesis ‘of the lady underneath the visionary lamplight, and who filled the modest picture-home that it! burst like a soap bubble and the! work basket vanished into thin air ip the flash of an eye Herbert Bryce kad fallen in love, and was to | tally unprepared. The ground seem- | ed swept from beneath his feet and | tie to be floating in chaos. Madeline Carter was beyond his reach, that he well knew. And there in lay his Moreover she telonged to the class that he him- self had been wont to characterize | as the “idle rich,” whose sole pur. pose in living was the indulgence of self. Family instinct and tradition urged him to condemn her as un- wcrthy of his love. But the grim fact remained that Bryce was face to face w.th the greatest of human forces and he recognized it. His well dered plans were wrecked. The under the lamplight was impossible: everything was imposai ble! And he had seen her only once He strove with all his strength to shake off the spell. He called him self a mconing fool and applied oth er unpleasant and undéserved epith ets to himself. But he could of nothing and no one but her. She had sent for him to him personally for having saved her life, and he hed sought excuses putting off the call. His physical courage had not faltered when he hal gprung into the street to seize the heads of the runaway pair that threatened the lives of the two wom en in the swaying vivtoria., It was when he was being lifted, conscious, but not seriously injured, trem under the horses’ feet that ‘ook from her wonderful eyes entered his soul. And now he not the moral courage to be in presence and know what she was for him. In those days of torment his in timate friend, Horace Turner, wrung his secret from him. For the first time Bryce learned that his friend was a distant cousin of Miss Carter. Turner had never mentioned the re lationship, for! as he laughingly said: “It seemed like bragging. Dut | know her well, old man” he said. “Ge in and win, She's not a spob, and yon are equal in manliness to the best of them.” Put Bryce's jaw set itself. “1 would pever marry a woman so much rich. er than I. What could 1 offer her? The ghost of his alr castle flickered before him a moment. “She would not fit into a_home that ( could give her. | shall call onts, as courtesy demands, but that shall be all” But he didn’t call, Miss Carter left suddenly for her country home, In a week Dryce received a note gigned “Frances Carter,” explaining that the writer was Miss Madeline Carfer's cousin and secretary. That Mss Carter wished him to prepare plans for a bungalow which she wisn. od built on a part of her land over. ing the ovean.

The other quiet girl in the victoria had been the heiress. He could hardly re stiain his happiness, bul he managed to murmur a suitable commonplace. The week that followed was an Ara. bian Night's dream to the young arch He found the beautiful retary to a sensible girl of lib eral education with a technical hncwledge of his art that pleased and surprised him.
