All, 'twas over tho bridge we quarreled, '.While the year-was In Its leafl And 'twas there that Hie words we're si-okeu 'I hat Iiaio riven my heart with grief. And 'twas there on the bridge we parted, In the hush of the twilight hour, ' ' While the laiiguoiiiiiS nir was laden V Ith a s'gh from each slumbering tinner. And Hie yi i.ri went drasgli:? onward, 'Lit h Dili d with u sad regret; Bit' the bridge and lis tender mein'rtfts "I he.irt could neer forKeti A u.l so, wl en tho year was dying, I eeut, one day, to tho wood. And sought for tho bridge and spot whole, I at summer day, we had flood.

Tb-n Is a maid I need not name. l.o seems possessed of every grnie Th.d falls to woman's lot, and makes Her home a most attractive place. With her I dearly tme to talk; With bet each hour I fnln would be. Nor long Tor any lireator joy; For I love her, and she loves me, Togdhcr we will softly chat, Or spend tho tllnc In silence sweet, Coramunlni; with each other's hearts, That one unchanging themo ropes t. Though many topics wo discuss, Wo never, never dlsagres, But each uiilo the other yields; Fori love hfr, and she loies me, 3nc Is not perfect, I am sure; tforani I faultless, that Is clear; Btitinirror.id in each other's eyes. Ouiselvei as paragons appear. With even noble trait Imbued, From ovciy spot and blemish free. Our future happiness assured Since I li.ve her, and she lines me. X other eves may note her charms; No olher voice may chant her praise; Xo olhcrheart, i-avo nunc, be led Captive by her beguiling ways. It suits me best to have It so, And both from jealoiis pangs are flee. Forwell wj know few hearts can love As I love her as she loves me. " Measure for Measure. 1IT (lUlXEVP.HV. Tltfi swtet, dreamy strains of a German waltz vibrated through the Illuminated par lurs of Itosccnurt, and above tho sound of light speech and laughter, swifilj moving foot and twirliiigdtaperies ofiilk and satin, they lloaled out to the narrow balcony where, alono in the moonlight, n woman stood. c woman tall, fair and wondrotisly beau tiful, with datk, velvety oyes and hair of golden-red tint. Her costume nf rich amber brocade and brilliant jmvels proclaimed her one of for tune's favorites; vet there was a look on the face that was neither gay nor content- nd. She stood with one hand resting on the triJlblo tail and her licid drooped, her thoughts Keeping time with the measure of the music. "At last we meet. Three years apart no word no sign; we were as dead to each other. And now wo meet again. Has he forgiven me? Does ho love, me sUllSAh, If I hut know!" A faint flush crept over her features.and her lips curved in .) half-sinillng espresslon Mie turned and looked through the lace draperies at the moving Ihrong; then her eyas brightened. "Thero, I see hlui now he Is coming tills way.' Motionless she stood w lillu that tall figure on which her gaze was riveted moved away from lliqgav dancers and came leisurely under the nrehwav straight to the opm window. He drew asldti the drapurles and looked out. "Veltna Dawn! ' 1m exclaimed. "And you jjre'alonc!'' "Yes," she said, extending her jeweled natui. Are von surprised to see me here?" "I knew you were at Uo'ecourt, but 1 am surprised 'o find you herein the moonlight alono," he answered, and stepped out ho- slde her. "Can theVharmsof nature cum- pensate for tho loss of the adulation and homage of yonder throng, or Is it. tint you were tut felted?" "Thepleasantosl things pall sometimes,1 said Yelma DawitsUghtly. She was looking at him with wistful, earnest eyes, searching for some chango In that handsome countenance, and pleased that her search was vain Only hn. manner wss d!(frreut;h worea light fnsoiiclmiee that puzzled her. "It Is strange this chance-meeting after thr"1 jears.," she sal.l softly. "And dur ing thai tlmei I have not eyen heard of you, ' An odd look came into the man's averted ejes, and his lips drew together, then re taxed In a faint, scornful smile, 'Nor ev.'n thought of tne," ho said.
