THE SECRET.

To the shah I will not tell It;
I will hide It from my sweetheart.
From my merry, dear companions,
When they ask.
This It Is: The clod I trample
v
n
, aa me sinui or Alexander,
And the waters of the ocean
In the veins of haughty princes
, Once ran red.
And the dust clouds of the desert
Were the lira of lovelr womem
Where are they, and they who kissed tfaemt
, i uitdt ojos, ana noauty passes.
Naught abide
Where Is Jamshyd, and his beaker t
Solomon, and where his mirrorf
Which ot all the wise orofesaora
Knows when Kaus and Jamshyd flourished
nnocan ioiit
They were mighty, yet they vanished,
Names are all they left behind themt
Olory first, and then an echo;
Then the very echo hushes
All Is still.
Oh, my shah, ask not my secret I
Sweetheart, I must hide it from youl
They who hear it are not merry;
Power dies, and beauty passes
Naught abides.

FJIANZ AND ILKA.
Tho summer had como In the moun
tains. The snow and ice were gone
from tho yalleys, but high up In the
peaics or tuo Alps the glaciers hunrr,
threatening avalanches. In tho blithe
spirits ongendored by the fresh, warm
air, the villagers, whose homes wore in
the valley of the Drauso,' smiled back ot
tho menacing leer of the glaciers.
There was happiness in the narrow
valley, happiness due to the protniso of
the season, to tho mating of young men
and maidens, to tho sunshine warming
the gelid blood of the old men and wo
men, Tho children frolicked in the
towns. A gay noto resounded in the
valley and was echoed by the hills; Uie
voices of all tho mountaineers were
pitched in a high koy, indicative of light
ness of heart.
And amid all the gladnoss there came
a tone of surprise that deepened into the
graver volca or alarm, apprehension,
"What can it moan?" neighbor asked of
neighbor. The sun shone in their faces.
but could not dispel the shadow of fear.
Tho Drause had dried un suddenlv.
There was no water in tho narrow, deen
channel, and up above on the mountains
tho snow and ico were melting and run
nlng in ever swelling streams into the
river. Floods wero usual. The villagers
always smiled at the torrent; for, know
ing the Height to which it would rise,
they iiad built beyond its reach. Neigh
bors would lean out of their windows
and talk to each other in loud tones
above the angry rlvor, and lovers would
iioiu iryisto on tne uriages that were
swung across it. No, from tho usual
summer flood there was no danger, but
tho drought portended ill. Where but
an hour before gladness reigned, terror
was king.
But Franz, the light footed guido, sure
on a precipico as a goat nnd strong as a
mountain Hon, bade tho villagers be of
good cheer and ho would soon bring"
Dacic news from tho hills. Ho yodeled a
farewell to Ilka, his love, and bounded
up tho valley, the terror stricken inhab
itants looking after him in dumb fear.
Ho was not gone long, and when he
came running down tho hill the villagers
gathered about him anxiously.
"They are drowning above while you
wo almost dying of thirst here." ho said.
"Tho glacier has slipped Into the river
ana formed a coree that is damininc
back the water. It is rising and sub
merging the hamlets clinging to tho rock
above the dam. Soon the river will rise
above the gorge and break it, or we shall
do swept away."
Cries of horror, groans of' anguish.
greecea nts story. Helplessly, strong
men looked at each other and at their
homes, which they could not carry to
places of safety. Women cluntr to their
children, while they embraced each other
ana wept. Ilka, palo and trembling, but
fearless, stood by her lover's side.
"Franr," she Bald, and her voice never
was tnoro sweet to hira, who loved overv
note of it, "you said it was ice, and ice
can be cut.
"Yes; it can be cut." Franz renlied.
emoracmg ner; ana tho words passed
from Hp to Hp. "It can be cut,"
Itesolutlon followed aulcklv unon the
realization that the only way to avert
the danger was to out a channel through
tho gorge and thus let the waters escanfl
gradually. A party of ax men, Franz at
their head, was formed, and, bidding the
women fly to the hills with the children,
the rescuers marched rapidly, with axes
on their shoulders, to faco the terrible
danger, to engage In combat with It. and
defeat, If possible, the fulfilment of its
threat. The hasty gathering together of
provisions for the ax men had not al
lowed of farewells, but Franz had oppor
tunity to say to Ilka as she hung a bag
over his shoulder:
"Loved one, do not come back to the
valley until I come for you. Promise."
bho sealed the promlso with a kiss.
and then gave him her lithe strength to
the assisting of the old and feeblo to a
place where the flood could not reach
them.
The ax men went to work with desner-
ation to out a channel in the solid mass
of ice. They wero divided into two nar-
ties and worked toward each other. The
work did not flag a moment, for when
one man was exhausted, another took
lib place. Dy thus relieving each other
they pushed the work rapidly. Not ono
of them faltered or grew weak through
fear, and they all knew that at any mo
ment tho dam might break and hurl them
to death against the rocks below.
The two cuttings were approachlne
ach'other and they seemed to be near
tacttiir, srhea It u discovered that a
mistake had been made in the course,
and that they would pass instead of
meeting. This discovery caused momen
tary dismay, for the water was almost at
the top of the dam, and apparently there
would bo no time to cut across from one
canal to the other before It overflowed.
Hut Franz, tireless mid full ot couraeo.
ran to the top of the glacier, swinging
his ax and colling to others to follow.
There were soon bo .many cutting the ico
In a narrow place that there was scarcely
room for the axes to pass each other in
the air.
Just when tho lookout shouted: "Rnnl
It is comingl The water is over!" the
cross channel was cut to the depth of the
other two, and the mu fled for their
Uves, The water jjourrd into the sluice
they had tucde, washed out the blocks of
Jce they loft, and poured In a strong but
not dangerous flood Into tho bed of the
Drause.
A shout of joy arose from the throats
of the exliausted men, who saw the suc
cess of tkeir desperate efforts to save
their homes, and who threw themselves

uau ivoicning ino worn run along
iuu uiuumuin sines snouting tho glad tid
ings. Tim women heard tho nows with
thanksgivuig nnd returned to tholr homes
to preparo food for tho men. Tho chil
dren ran with them, but the youths de
layed to help tho old nnd f oeblo, nnd their
return was slower than that of tho wo
men, but not loss joyous.
But Ilkn would not leavo tho moun
tain, though tho maidens coaxed her to
join their chorus of joy. She wouldwalt
until Jjranzcamo, for so sho had promised
liitn. She sat on tho rock unon which
most of tho women had camped, and lis-
lunou io uio singing ana glad Bhouts that
pamo from tho valloy, and all tho while
looking and longing for tho coming of
crunz up.ino UlllslUe.
Suddenly sho leaned tn llPr font nnrl
held her breath, while sho put her hand
tohor heaitnnd terror blanched her face.
Her rosy cheeks, vhich Franz loved to
kiss, and which wero envied by all tho
young women or iiartlgny, becamo white
anu cold ns snow.
A report louder than o simultaneous
discharge of many cannon had burst
upon nor ears, it cauio from tho direc
tion of tho gorge and terrified every ner
son in tho valloy. Women ran out of
tho houses asking the cause, Tho young
women paused in tho pooanof thanks
giving, the youths halted with the old
men. AH queried: "What was that?"
Tho men leaped to their feet from the
easy positions in which they had been
lying, and wrung their hands in agony.
Soino in grim irony throw their axes
into the flood. Tho channel had weak

Btand tho heavy weight of the water bo-
iiitia it, ana with a deafening noiso it
gave way. Tho dammed un waters
leaped into tho bed of tho river, and
swept upon tho valley. Tho men stood
helplessly watching it.
Ilka from her post on tho rock saw it
coming and hor clear voice rang out
Uko a buglo;
"Runl run to tho mountains! The
flood is upon youl"
And many, hoedinar. ran: but nnm
stopped to savo valuables, and tho youths
would not desert tho feeble. These were
drowned in Martigny; they who delayed
for gold, tho helpless, and they who
stayed by their sido to assist them out of
tho reach of tho waters, and many chil
dren who wero playing in the strecta
where their mothers could not find them.
Ilka on the high rock saw the devasta
tion nnd death wrought by the flood that
passed quickly in its wild rush. But
many were saved, and when tho mpn.
scrambling along tho mountain "sides,
camo looking for thoir wives and chil
dren, thoy learned that Ilka had warned
tho villagers. Tlioso who found soino of
their family blossed her, but those who
came back to learn that all whom thoy
held dear wero doad, gnashed their teeth
andcUnched their hands until tho jails
of their fingers drow blood.
But Ilka Bat still. Sho knew Franz
was looking for her on tho mountain,
for bIio had been told ho was not injured
by the flood; and the Impulse to yodel
was strong within her. Nono had a
voice like hers, and if it should rinir out
on tho siionco of the valley, whore thero
was only aumb, despairing grief, ho
would hear and answer. But sho could
not; it would bo such a mockerv to hn
joyous amid all that woo. So sho waited.
and presently sheheard Franz yodoUng
on the mountain, and sho climbed to
him, but did not answer, Sho was fleet
and strone, and soon crossed his path,
and in tho solitudo of tho mountain they
met and kissed; but they wero silent, for
both felt tho prcsenco uf death In the
valley below. After a few moments of
grateful joy that thoy had been spared
to each other, thoy went swiftly to the
valley, to minister to the Borrow Btricken.

HOW TODDLES PROPOSED.
Mr. Toddles aroso ono morning in
very melancholy mood. It was ltis
rorty-ufth birthday, and ho was still
bachelor.
"Time Is flying," ho "said. "Youthhaa

to but a miserable single Ufo at a board

Ho woro a very showv Uttla smokinc
juuKtcana a cap to match, and carried
in his nana a roll of manuscript and
stylographio pen. Ho looked wliafc hs

wero of the most romantio sort, wore

only to double their fist and shako them

"Good morning, Toddles, old fellowl"

Toddles "delighted I But you flatter

"Not at all," responded Mr. Sparkle,
"Breakfast is not ready yet; I'll just

"Of course it is, in real life," BfJd
Sparkle, "Forty is young, to all intents
nnd purposes. But literary age is very
different. It would blast an authors
refutation to make a heroine but of ber
teens or a hero out of his twenties. This
80-year-older is an old bachelor who has
long adored a certain lady, and remains
unmarried for her sako. She is going

other good point, oh?"
"Very," said Tbodles.
"Now, tho question is," said Sparkle,
"whether to unite them or to havo her
confess her love for him beside his death
bed."
"The latter!" cried Toddles, errthusl
astically, "But have htm recover after

Sparkle started up and grasped Tod-

"Magnificent!" ho said. "You always

He sat down at Toddles' desk and b
gan to lanco his stylographla pen Into
tue air in a furious manner highly sag
gCBtlvo of delirium tremens. However,
Toddles was not alarmed; he knew that
he was only getting his pen into work
ing order.
"Ah!" ho said, as a drop of ink ap
peared at tue point or tho instrument,
"horo we aro at lastl" Ho jotted down
a memorandum, and then wheeled
about. "Let me read you this," he said;
"I think you will like it.- My hero is
soliloquizing imagining that he h de
claring his love ahetnt" and Mr. Sparkle
pushed his smoking cap to the back of
bis head, smoothed his Shakespearean
beard with his hand and began:
" 'Beloved ono Nay, start not; long
have I called thee bo in my soul' "
"Is he u Quaker?" inquired Mr. Tod
dle. "No, no; I always use 'thee' and 'thou'
for strong love passages," replied Sparkl.
"See?"
"Oh, yee," replied Toddles. "How
stupid of met"
"Not at all," raid Sparkle. "Let me

Do you know, I should like to confide in

"Do It, do it. mv dear, dear friend."
said Mr. Sparkle.
"Sparkle, baa It ever come into your
mind that I have a secret woe?" said
Toddles.
"Well, it has." replied Sparkle. 'Tva

"Tho woe," said Toddles, "is connected
