THREE LOVE SONGS, Her tonder little hand, That might not lift a lily's wind-blown cup, Seeking my own, in all the darkened land, Is strong to bear me up! Two rose leaves might enfold Its downy whiteness, hiding it away | But lo! how lightly does that dear hand hold Tha life of me to-day! Gentle, and swoet, and strong-—- 1f sundered from my soul that hand should be, 1 would long Reaching from heaven to me! not mourn its tender touches | Love will some time build his nest Where the cold snows gleam On the mountain's cloudy breast Then, where valleys dream, Pat we have no word of blame When Love whispers his sweet name. He is cruel, he is kind—- Here and there he goes, Frowning in a stormy wind-- Resting in a rose Put we have no thought of blame, When Love lightly breathes his name! Kind or cruel let him be Peace or paining give ; When he leans his lips to me, Life is sweet to live. Fame or fetters—"tis the same, When Love whispers his swoet name! Because I love you, dear, Much sorrow do I bear , Yet joyfully those soriows meet, my lips I hold them swoot— Because I love you, dear) you, Gear, wwowns I wear »f eruelest thorns t« y mn 3 rostest wreaths could be dear! love you, dear, | I tread the darkness here But sweet fowers i 1 loveliest lights ; L.

HEY were birthday having party at of Neely Hollingwood - called Neely in short for Cornelia and as Mrs. Hol- lingwood was not feeling very they had omitted dancing and spent the evening in old- fashioned games of an intellectual sort. The change had the he ne pleased them all, for it introduced a | Archie and variety of pleasing amusements, and when it was over refreshments were served, and everybody enjoyed the oceasion—that is, everybody but Neely herself, whose birthday was being celebrated. Her disappointment was caused by the absence of her lover, who had gone out of town on business, and conld not possibly return before a late hour, when he had promised to look in on his way from the depot. Neeley the girl about whom this 1d: ihe had attended a cement to Brucs and be, not being invited, was absent. When she threw herself pouting into a + and looked bored and dis she went was there?’ asked her mother y, mother-like, was sitting up for “Nobo ly I pathetic voice. It was only a week later when Neely attended another party, this time ander the escort of her lover. That night when she went home her face was radiant. Mrs. Hollingwood asked her usual question while Neely was waltzing about the room. “Who was there?” “Everybody,” apswerad the happy girl, giving her m ther a good-night kiss. So on this birthnight celebration a hisck cloud settled on Neely’s horizon which foretold a storm. At 11, just as the company was de- parting, Bruce Lovell arrrived and in time to see his former rival, Archie Dean, sitting it ont with Neely. Then Neely's black cloud turned a dark and dizzy green. Archie saw the aspect of things and it did him good. He lingered after the others had gone, until Neely had frozen him out, and then he rose to go. As he did so he dropped a small folded paper on the table. It looked like a note, and the superseription was in Neely’'s hand. While the girl was formally seeing Dean off, Bruce posesssed himself of the note. He was green with jealousy and the color did not change when he read in Neely’'s handwriting these words : “Hi “Perfidions answered Neely, in a -gr-piope.’’ girl!” he muttered, sie Lan fashion of the stage lover, | and then Neely returned, and he ernshed the fatal note in his hand and looked as if he had swallowed the poker and several ramrods, Poor Neely. She could not for the life of her make things comfortable, | for when she tried to explain that | Archie Dean had not been invited, bat | had happened in, it only made matters | worse, and her lover became a pyra- | mid of frozen greenness, like a mam- | moth pistachio ice cream with all the | sweetness left ont. She did not know | | it alous, well | At first Neely laughed a merry, wicked, musical laugh. Then, as she looked at the green face of her lover, she became indignant, and finally re- fused to say a word either in defense or explanation while he was present. So the engagement was ended, and the love that wns to spread out over a whole lifetime proved futile at ite first trial. Neely went about with her head in the air and wretched depression at her heart. Bruce contemplated all the different forms of suicide, and had about decided on paris green as being the best for his purpose, when a new gource of interest was discovered. Archie Dean was dancing attendance on Myrtle Blair, Neely's dearest friend. Bruce received several mys. terfous hints that there was a mistake somewhere, and from being green he turned to a blue of the deepest dye, and finally sought counsel of Mrs. Hollingwood, Neely's mother, who had been his warm friend through it all, but was prevented from speaking by a solemn promise extracted from her hy her daaghter. “Go and ask Neely herself about the note—I'm sure it never meant any- thing," urged Mrs. Hollingwood. But Bruce was not ready for such a sacrifice of his pride yet. He waited another while, and then he did just what he ought to have done in the first place if he hadn't been as green as a Christmas He went to Neely and said: “Take me back on probation, and 1 will prove myself worthy of your con- fidence. I know that jealousy is cruel as the grave.” Neely met him half way, after the goose, | fashion of Ler sex. “And I will explain all about that note.” she said, after they had kissed and made up. ‘You , WO playing—" “‘Hush," said Bruce, in tory manner that liked, ‘‘not a word about that miser- ble note nor our quarrel over it, un- til th ANDIVersary day.

Neely suggested that the same company of friends be invited that had participated in her birth lay celebration when Bruce had discov- ered such a flaw in his happiness. At the same time they could make it a re- ception for the lately-wedded pair, Myrtle. As all these heard of the quarrel without knowin of the exact circumstances, and ha congratulated them on their making up st the time, they had no hesitancy in laying the whole matter before them.

Then he sat lown snd Neely arose. “It us have a game of anagrams, just as we did Inet year at my birthday party. This time I will give you the transpositions, and you can form out of them the original words.” She passed around a number of slips of paper, on each of which sentence or phrase was written. When she handed Archie Dean his slip, he said “Why, 1 “trifles & air are tions le Ny ol some had this before, but 1 can't romember for my life what it | means,’ “Read it aloud,” commanded Neely, while Myrtle and Bruee looked on much interested. “‘Here goes,” said Archie, or—elope.
