OVER THE BHIDQE WE PKOIilSKD.
Over the bridge wo wiuidercd,
When the year was all atlusli

From Miiv's shy, lender blush i

j As we stood In a waking ill cam,
, Walehhif! theiulverlng shadows
At play i.ii the icstless stream.
' Over the bridge wo loitered,
j Vv hen I told j on a taU of love,
! While the wavelets sati(- heuedth us,
And the simgBtcrs trilled nlmiei
I And tlie blue of your eyes grew mlity
' With the dawn of a tenderer light,
' s your Mvoct lips softly promised
To be true to me1, come what hiIrIA.
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.
And On" i -shall I tell it.ilarllngv-

And I knew that) oar heart had been falthtul

Since I li.ve her, and she lines 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.
'Oh, you are mistaken!" Velma ans
wered lu tinlned tones. "I have wished to
I see you often r jou do not understand me,"
"If I misjudge you, Velma, blame your
self," he said. "You slighted tne three
years sen in lite, most heartless manner."
"Yes, yes, hut vou do not know all
Detttatn."
As she spoke she lifted her dark eyes to
his, and ho saw that they were dim with
unshed tears. She put out her hand
touched his timidly.
"Forgive me, Ilertram," she said softly
He took hsr hand btween his own and
looked dawn into thebeautlfu' face.
He could not speak then, for a flood of
memories rushed upon lilm and submerged
those weary three years.
Ha saw himself an lmhulslte. warm,
hmted man. with alibis lntrst and f-

Now they stood hand In Imnd, mtd It
was "Bertram" and "Wihua." as nf itM.
The girl's heart throbl! with sinins
joy.
"You will forglvu inc. If jv.u lan not al

"Velnift, why worm ytm ssi tinielf" he
queried earnestly,
"Bertram, why. were ymi sr. hasty?" hr
asked, with a saiI smlla
"Yon never loienm."
Those leproscliful tones, tlml ten Sm
gaze broko down the Ixuilcr of Velum's
escrve.
"Oh, jou would not say that If yon could
read my heart. Yot I do not bhune jou; 1
sent ytiu iivvay with that belief, and I lost
yon. I'oigot that time, Bertram, for, oh 1 1
have bitterly atoned. I doved vou then,
and I havo never ceased to lovo vott. 1
never will."
"Is It Indeed so?"
Bertram Ashcroft loaned nearer, and hut
for tho shy drooping of hnr oyes, shu would
liaye seen a look on his face that would
have warned her. " ,
"You love me?" he repeatud.
"Yes, Bertram, my heart Is vnurs. With
out you I have been miserable. Oh, I have
longed so to tee you!"
Her olco was full of pathos and tender-
ness; a' happy smile was on litr lips.
Mie thought the moment had coinn when
sho would rralizu her heart's desire.
ff lie waited for him to speak, but no word
came; lie dropped her hand, and when she
looked up his gazn staitled her.
"Bertram 1"
"It Is well," he Mid coldly. "Your con
fession compensates me. fur all I endured
through your faithlessness. Now you may
know what it is to suffer as I did."
ll'liat do you mean?" she faltered, a
t'hlllness creeping through hur veins.
He caught her wrist and drew her nearer
the window.
"Look, Velma Dawn!" he said harshly.
'Do you see that group of threo yonder
ust beyond the arch that woman with
.fellow hair and a wreath of forget-ino-nots?
She Is my wife!"
"Your wlfo!" cried Voltna; and then she
turned from him. threw, out her i.rnis and
sank down like one. bereft of life.
"Measure for measure," said Bertram
Ashcroft, ami left her there.
How long she knelt there, with hrrface
buried In her hands, Velma did not know.
She rallied nt last, and went hack to tho
festive scene, only to leave it as soon as the
adieus could be spoken.
Sho met licrtram Ashcroft soon alter.but
they passed without word or glance. She
met his wife, too a pretty, frivolous crea-
tnve without, a thought beyond her own
comfort and the pleasure of the hour.
These meetings ware not without effect
upon her, and at last sho decided to leave
tho place; life there was becoming unbear
able. She stood on tho piazza of the hotel, at
tired In her traveling suit, when a friend
approached.
"Have you heard tiro sad news?" was
the query. "Mr. Ashcroft and his wife
mut with a serious accidegtt while out rid
ing. The horses ran away, and both were
tluowii out."
Velma stood like one turned to stone.
"Dead?" she asked mechanically.
"Mrs. Ashcroft was killed instantly, but
h still lives. They say it is only the ques
tion of a few hours."
Velma bowed her head and walked away.
Her brain was nhliling, her heart heating
madly; she scarcely knuw whither her
footsteps led.
Bertram dying," was her constant
thought, and then she found herself at his
home, in company with his physician.
Mr. Ashcroft Is seriously injured," lie
said, lu answer to her questions. "At
times he Is delirious, and calls constantly
for some one. 'Velma' is the name."
'I am she," Velma answered, calmly.
"IVi-hapi I cbuld quiet him."
"If tlin fever abitel there would boa
chance of recovery," said the physician.
'We will try your power."
So Vulina'went to him, and her presence
soothe the 'UlTerer Into slumber, lie knew
her when he awoke.
'Velma," ho said, "I havo a confession
to make. I did not marry for love, but 1
thought you were false. I love you still.
I can tell you this, now she is dead and 1
amd.ilng. Measure for measure, I said
ah! so it is of love. You will not fnfget
me when I am gone?"
"You shall live, Bertram," said Vlma,
passionately. "Doath shall not part us
now."
It was a clnllcnge, but for once I he dread

and Life was victor.

Oftentimes they mako the best vlycs,aud
