I lie, halt In sun, half in shadow.
Near to the warm ninth's heart,
WntchliiK the maple's uranches
Over me close and part.
Steeped in delicious languor
As :t child is lulled In sleep,
Jly soul seems closer In liettM'ii
Than Its en iui! owner can keep.
The far-off hills of the Jloosle
lilse tlilu' a golden haze,
Misty mid dim us are phantoms
FadiiiK from mortal naze.
Ahoie me the sapphlie liollow
riuked by tliuiluuds, like foam;
I'.ejond me, the urassy I Ipples;
And lild hy the maples my home.
And I feel the sun's warm kisses
Hum on my lips like wine;
Could a lover's kUs be sweeter
Ortcndeier, moie divine'.'
The pulse lliat lias Ihrohlied so strongly
Is ccn and strong to-d.ty.
While jesteiday's griefs and pleasures
Seem a century away.
No fcdlnj; of dull oppression,
No weight as of tears unshod;
.My hem I Is as lh;'.itnr,d e.ueless
As the while clouds overhead.
Only the peace of the present
Over me softly lies
And 1 think that earth has moments
Hummed from Paradise.
Closins my ejes, I fumy
That I am a child siKalu,
And u melody, soft and dreamy
H, I to an old refrain
Conies to nte lhiou;;h thu distance
Of years, as 1 feel once more
That lo.'i seems nearer and de.uei

.My unbelief Is forgotten,
'the tear that He did not euro
For bitch as I am, the doubling

Only a child's blind trusting
That He will lead me aright
Oat of the maze of darkness
Into tl.c. way o' light.
Half In the .s'.m, half In shadow,
Wrapped lit a Joy untold,
Where the sunlight silts thro' the branches
.Mingling with green mid gold,

If I'm sure her father likes It quite as
well as ever he did, so she don't take

The little girl was named Catherine
Maria, but some kindly friend shortened
it to Kathle, and little Kathle passed
through the various stages of common
babyhood. Had the mumps and tneas-
1s, chlckenpo.x, and various other af
flictions to which man Is helr,lu the first
few years of his existence.
At length she reached her eighteenth
bltlliduy, as bright and blooming a
maiden as ever Father Time smiled up
on.
Sho was pretty and dainty from the
crown of iirr curly head to the sole or
her little arched foot. Of course she
had adorers by the score, but she was
capricious and fanciful, and not one had
ever been able to llattei himself that he
had won her preference.
About this time, too, Kathle began to
exhibit 'moods,' and one never knew
what to expect from her. At times she
would bo the life and spirit of the little
rural gatherings, her sparkling wit bub
bling up and running over in merriment
and then again, she would be as glum
and silent as a sphynx.
Aunt Nancy watched her with anxi
ous eyes, 'there s soinetliiu wrong
with that child," she said once to John
Wendell. "It ain't natural for a gal
like her to have slch spells of nioplu'."

Jlv: "I don't see. as she Is different

a little in these spells."
About this time the community vrnt

of a Young man named Kalpli Anscll.
He was tlln netihew of old .Ilidye Aiisell.

not far from the Elms. Young Ansell

pendent fortune, but from choice, was
studying for the ministry, and he came
to the little village among the hills, to
recruit and it-cover from tho effects of
loo close application to his chosen
bttt.ly.
It was not many days before his eyes
discerned the particular flower of the
place, and from the lhst, he was attrart

long lashes,
linlph bent his head and kissed the
sweet lips. He wassattstlcd, but Kathle
had made no promise.
Kalpli was called away ton distant
Slate and a number of mouths elapsed
before his icturn. A change graduallv
stole over Kathle. Shegievv more quiet
than she had ever been befoie. Her
face grew while and haggard, and Into
her soft brown eyes, came a look such as
might come Into the eyes of a stag when,
hopeless bcfoic an Impregnable, wall, l.c
turns al bay.
- Even Italph's letters failed to cheer
her, and after the reception of each the
look upon her face only grew nioic
hopeless. She had n fancy for taking
long walks In secluded lanes, and Aunt
, Alary watched her closely, with eyes oft
made dim by tears, for In her heart she
believed that the poor girl was losing
her m I n J ,
Kathle had just returned from one of
her long walks, and paused in the old
fashioned garden, pregnant with June's
sweetest flowers. She saw a figure lap
idly approaching. A look, half hope',
lulf despair, sprang to her ejes.
On through the trees the figure came.
She stretched out her hands.
"Oh Kalphl .My love, my love!"
He took her in his aims tenderly,
"Are you ill, hntliiu? lou look so
strange. 1" he exclaimed.
"No. no, not 111." She tried to
smile.
"Were you so glad to see me, little
gill, and was It because 1 was so long

He put Ids hand under her chin and
raised her face. "This will never do.

down here. I have something to tell

He drew her to a low seat near. "I)o

will not listen to one; so you see you
have nothing to do but to yield grace
fully."
Katliie's Hps moved convulsively, but
they were dry, and no sound came fotth.
Her head was bent low, and he could
not see her face.
"You are not going to say one word
against it, but will let mo have my way,
like that dear little girl you are?"
There was such gladness, such tender
ness in ills voice.
She started up, pushing lilin from her,
"No! O, I dare not."
"ll'Iiat do you mean, Kathle? Ican
not understand "
"I mean llalph, you must go away.
You must never try to see me again. " I
can never be your wife. Listen, and I
w.ll tell j on why."
She raised h-r hand, as though ap
pealing for mercy, and her voice so
weighted with pain, her face so white
and hopeless, and her whole manner
awed him and kept him silent.
"I love you, Iialph, Cod only knows
how much. When nil hope was dead, 1
prayed for strength to give you up.
Look upon me, Iialph Ansell. You, who
are so noble, so grand, and strong, look
upon mc! Despise mo If you must, hut
still pity me. Thu woman upon whom

"No, no, Halphl It can never bo.
There is no hope for mc, none, none!
Cod has forsaken me. Oh, mother,
mother, If Iliad only died when J on
lid!"
Oh, the despair, the anguish In her
voice! It wreiiched the , heart of the
man wh loved her more than death
could have done.
In vain he urged her to marry lilm
still. She was linn. Shu. would not
yield, and bade htm go his way and
leave her to her w retched doom.
t last he left her, resolved to come
again on the morrow and renew- his en
treaties.
He turned back once, and saw her.
slaudlng still, wheic he had left
her; her slender figure outlined against
the roses, her small hands clasped over
her heart, the despairing look of her
face in her very attitude,
A longing came over him. He re
traced his steps, look her In his arm',
kissed her eyes and Hps and brow, then
without looking back he disappeared
f 1 0111 sight.
Aunt Nancy awoke ,from her after
noon nap. The housu seemed strangely
quiet. The clock pointed to half-aflei
live. Shu hastily arose and began to
picnarc the evening meal. Kathle had
not returned, she thought.
The master of the Elms came In
"Where Is Kathle?" ho asked.
"She weir, out afler dinner," aunt
Nancy replied, "and has not got back

about it."
The meal was eaten In silence, nml
aunt Nancy cleaved away the dishes,
and sat down to her knitting to wateli
for the absent one.
The shadows of night gathered, but
Kathle did not return.

Hut John Wendell was getting old and

she would wait till morning. She Isnl
right somewhere, and gals Is not apt to
think about old folks worrying about

So the night passed, and tltc next
day they found her. At the foot of the
old garden flowed a little stieam, nar
row-hut deep in the channel. It was
spanned by a little foot bridge. Kalhle
had crossed It safely hundreds of times
but this lime her foot slipped, and the
sparkling river lecelved her in its cold
embrace.
So said the son owing friends gathered
at the house of mourning; but Iialph

As the silver threads showed them

The Elms was an old place. Every

the weeds peering through the chinks of

too, and what was good enough for Ihe
father of the country, was good enough
for the present ow ncr of the old place,
so he said und to hud said his father be
fore him.
And when somo of the trees grew
tired of being climbed, nti.i pounded,
and shaken, by urchins with rubber
coated stomaehes, and deliberately died,
they were it-placed with tho same old
varieties, and John Wendell, filled his
ban els each autumn, with cider, made
from apples just as sour, and hard, anil
knuily,ns those which his ancestors had
used for the same purpose.
I said everything about the place was
old, but I was wrong. Late in life, John
Wendell man led a sickly wife, who
lived just long enough to press one kiss
flout Hps even then growing cold, upon
t'.io face of a little, wailing daughter.

For weeks the little llfo trembled In

and carried back with him her promise,
at some future time, to be his wife.
The year had brought Its changes in
Kalhle. Kalph'shail been a prosperous
woo'ng, and Ihe luckless Ullage swains
had early withdrawn from the contest.
Every one said that it was a splendid
match. Kathle was sole heiress lo the
Elms, and although showing the angu
lar lines of primitive days, It was a
grand old place, and the villagers all
said that she had "done well."
Hut pretty Kathle had not thought of
rank, money or position, when she whis
pered "yes." She only thought that
Iialph loved her. That she was to have
ills love tluough life, and then tluougli
all eternity.
Her own love made her humble,
and then, she was not the proud, im
perious Kathle she had once been. Aunt
Nancy saw the change and it-ioiceil, for
the 'moods,' had disappeared, and
Kalhle went ai ound the old house,
busied with house-wifely duties, singing
lite, a bird. This lasted nearly a year,
but to every argument of Italph's urging
an early day for their marriage, she
gently put him off.
It was the anniversary of their be
trothal. They were returning at a late
hutir from ti social gathering, but as
bvors will, loitered slowly along in the
moonlight.
ltalph had never seen Kathle so gay
as she had been all evening. lie had
been pleased to nolo how- eKry one

ure of your love, Is a common drunkard.
O, llalph 1 1 did not mean lo wiong you
so! 1 thought that my love for jou
would hold me back; that I would gain
strength, and when I thought God had
forsaken tue, you helped me, but it could
not l.tt. I cannot resist this burning,
consuming thirst. It maddens inc. My
brain Is on (ire. Sometimes I hope, nay
even Jiray, that reason will yield. I
have deceived you; deceived them all
ever since I can remember. I have
fought against it. O, my God, have I
not fought against it; against the demon
that holds mc hi his clinches! Hut all
in vain, iu vain."
Iialph essayed to speak,but she silenced
him.
"Nay, hear me out. I think 1 am ac
cursed, for I was born with the love of
liquor. Sly mother subsisted almost en
tuelv upon wine for weeks before I was
born, and often I have shuddered to
hear Aunt Naucy tell, how In my babj
hood, 1 cried for brandy. They let me
have it; for 1 could not livu without it,
and when I grew older and they refused
me, 1 look it; for 1 could not live with
out it. When I went away to school, I
fought against it, only to yield In the
end. AH my spate money, mid father
was lavish, went for liquor.
"I (-nine home, took up the light
again, but to yield as before; then jou
came. I thought then that I had con
quered, and I was almost happy; but
slow ly the old burning thirst came back.
"llalph, jou remember the time jou
asked me not to drink wine because it
hurl jou? My heart broke that night.
All hope died, for I dared not promise.
1 knew then that I could ncvei bo your
wife. I said to in v self, 'ltalph Ansell's
wife, a minister's wife, a drunkard"
over and over again, until the wools
were burned into uiy brain In letters of
fire.
"No, never, Iialph, nevcrl I loved
you too well. I could not drag ynu
down, could not point the linger of scorn
at j ou, and I tried to vvrlie to you and tell
you not to come again ;bul ltalph, I want

you passed from my wretched life for

AT THE AUCTION.
And it came lo pass after the going
down of the sun young Siuarty was pass
ing tho malt where a certain man cried
out in a loud voice: "Two nm 1 offered;
do I hear two and a half?"
"Aha!" cried voting Siuarty, turning
to the companions who attended him,
behold! the auctioneer. Let us enter iu
and iu.rk how I will paralyze liim."
So cuteied they iu.
And still the. voice of the auctioneer
was lifted up:
"And a haf'n, a h.if'n, a haf'n. Anj-
body say tluee-quailers?"
Tliree-qttaiters said they not.
'Prythee, sir," said young Sm.irty,
"will you allow- me to make a bid?"
For Smariy, the juvenile, had lead in
Urn chronicles how a man had once pro
pounded that query to an auctioneer
who stood In the market place, and on
his repljiug; "Yea, verily," ho said
' Then 1 bid you good night."
As the ox goeth to slaughter, so
marched Siuarty up to tho very front of
the auctioneer.
"Will vou, kind sir, allow me to make
a bid?"
Un snako the auctioneer, who was
tly witli regard to the ways of the un
godly!
"No, I will not. I never take bids
from children and fools."
Then the people w ho bad assembled
on the mart laughed Smaily to scorn
uud he slunk away sorrowing.
