HIS FAVORITE POEM, [Frines Whitcomb Rites, the Hoosier post, says the subjoined is his favorite English poem. He first saw it Swen years ago ina country , BI wen trying ever since to roth anes of the author): BRAVE LOVE. He'd nothing but his violin: I'd nothing but my song-- But wo were wed when skies were blue And summer days were long; Aud when wo rested by the hedge, The robins came and told How they had dared to woo and win When early spring was cold. We sometimes supped on dewberrios, Or slept among the hay But oft the farmers’ wives at eve Came out to hear us play The rare old tunas—the dear old tunes? Wao could not starve for long While my man had his violin And I my sweet love-song, The world has aye gone well with us, Old Man, since we were one'!— Our homeless wandering down the lanes— It long-ago was done. But those who wait for gold or gear For houses and for kine, "Till youth's sweet spring grows brown and sere And love and beauty time, Will never know the joys of hearts That met without a fear When you bad but your violin And I a song, my dear, re cem——— “QUITS” When one is flufly-haired, cheery tem- pered and twenty-three years of age— and little Lady Loveday was ail three— one does not regard with unmixed rap- ture the prospect of a whole week with the British Association for the Advance. ment of Science. But Sir James had been elected President for the year, and his wife, as in duty bound, was obliged | to accompany him. The town of Mudchester, with its for- est of tall chimneys and iis perpetual gloomy pall, may possibly represent the sinews and strength of Eagland, but it is | not exactly an ideal place in which to spend theearly days of September, Else where there are blue skies, moors and grouse on the wing, but Mud chester, for some inscrutable re ASON, Pri serves the same gray and depressed ap pearance yearin and year out. Sir James | Loveday, however, full of the temporary | importance which attaches to the emi. neat scientist who is President of the year, was delighted with the whole thing, and especially proud of showing off his pretty, young wife to his scientific colleagues, whose spouses, though unit- | ing in their persons the manifold virtues of the British matron, could hardly lay | claim to either epithet. He had only been married a year. They had met on a homeward-bound Cunarder. and though this particular ship had besten | the record, there bad been time euough | for Sir James to become enamored of | Miss Lena Gardner, who, finding no one younger to her taste on board, had smiled | on the elderly scientist until he had of. | fered her his name and his fortune. was a sensible young woman, with a nice appreciation of the good things of this life, and, in six weeks time from their landing at Liverpool, they were quietly married in London. Quite a little murmur of admiration and a notable eraning of masculine necks greeted Lady Loveday as she made her appearance in the Town Hall of Mud chester on the night of the opening ad dress. It was her first introduction to the scientific world, and men of science, | much like other men, are apt to ap preciate good looks, In her white brocade mantle, a boa of cstrich feathers encir- | cling her threat, and diamond | arrows thrust through her blonde hair. she looked a radiant vision of youth and beauty in the crowd of ill dressed, gawky | women who made up the feminine por- tion of the audience. Devotion to the | toilette forms no part of the programine to the ladies who attend meetings of the British Association, the advancement of science being more important in their eyes than the plaiting of hair and wear- ing of gold And so Lena was able to make her little sensation. She entered the large hall alone, for Sir James was | already in his place on the platform, and | Wis even giving the preliminary cough whick precedes the opening address, | “By Jove!" said a bronzed young man to himself-—a young man who had strolled in late, and mow found him self in the very back of the vast halle “Sif that isu't Lena! Odd that I should see her the first week I arrive in Bogland ! | What is she doing here! Wonder if she has forgotten! Well, it's three years ago." The opening address was an enor | mous success, os it always is. During the week the popular enthusiasm, cooled by | many scientific lectures, may abate; but on the opening night no judge on the bench is surer of & langh than the emi. nent scientist who opens the meeting. The mildest jokelets are received with rapture, the feeblest similes get a round of applause. Lady Loveday was sur. rounded by admiring chemists, biolo- gists and botanists by the time the large sudience was filing out. “You'll come with our expedition on Thursday, lady Loveday, won't yout" urged a thin young professor from a Scotch University, whose appearance suggested the suspicion 1 he L.A recently come out of an eye hos pital, Lady Loveday smiled, and made up her mind to the inevitable, After all, he was only a little worse than the reot.

But, all the same, when Thursday arrived, and Lena found herself alone at the railway station-—for Sir James had a committee meeting that morning, and could only join her later in the day-— she felt somewhat depressed at the prospect before her. There was o large and somewhat weird-looking crowd on the platform. A slight drizzle was fall ing, and the ladies of the party had unpnimously elected to appear i bag- like waterproof garments, though, to he sure, their male kind ran them bard in the matter of curious raiment. Most of the travelers had invested in paper bags full of Bath buns, for an expedition with the British Association is gensrally fraught with peril in the matter of sup- plies. The weak-eyed young man was in a state of excitement bordering on delirium. Lady Loveday sighed as her eye ran over the mass of pushing, per- spiring, be-mackintoshed human beings on the platform. “There isn't a soul hore that I want to speak to,” she thought, settling into the comfortable corner-place which the youthful professor had secured for her; { one’s dress, knotting the hair high up on and then, as her eye caught the square- | shouldered back of a check-coated man | in the distance, she added, mentally: “That looks like a nice man. His hair brown neck and a properly ironed collar, He reminds me of poor Dick.” Bat, directly after, the train steamed out of the station and Lady Loveday’s reminiscences came to an end. She had to make conversation with her cicerone other people. By the time they had arrived at the pit's mouth and were such a perilous experiment. were waiting outside.

What was to be donet Nothing-absolutely nothing. Lady Loveday turned greenish white as she leaned against the rock. “Bir James,” she moaned Bir James would never let me die like a dog in a hole.” “Sir James! said Dick, surprised “You mean the President! 1s be a great friend of yours?” ‘He is—O my poor Dick he is—my husband [” she faltered, not daring to look st him now. Captain Bramwell gave a little whistle aed tumed away, What a farce, and how like Lona whole thing wm! Lady Loveday did not see him smile, “Forgive me!” she murmured, step. ing nearer to him, sod, laying a caress. ng band on his arm.

An ex- planation of Captain Bramwell's equun- imity with regard to her marriage was afforded Lady Loveday on their arrival at the top of the shaft. Hurrying toward the piv's mouth was seon Sir James, ac- companied by a pretty girl in blue, a girl whose naive delight at seeing Captain Brrmwell was obvious to all the bystanders, “And who—who is the exuberant young woman in blue?” queried Lena, with not quite a pretty smile. “That, dear Lady Loveday,” said Dick, quietly, as he handed his com- panion out on to terra firma, *‘that—is wy wife!" — London World, BR Out Headache.
