HEART SORROWS.
Kvmy bosom bath Its sorrows.
Every heart lu bitter wm:
Masks they are, Instead of faces.
Which are passing to and fro.
Caul' wa know the weary watcoinca,
Could we count the allent tears
Bee the hearta all Beared aad bleeding,
ToUlnc on through weary year.
Struggling with onjimilon. maybe
Striving 'neath misfortune's ban,
ttanlllng. while the eoul Is starving.
For the sympathy of man
Would we not withhold the censure
Trembling on our thoughtless lips?
Ah I we know not of the trials
Which have wrought this dark eclipse!
Hope and faith in God are stranded; .
Friendship fades like morning dew;
Wrong and scorn have seared and blighted
Hearts that once were brave and true.
Sin and poverty., it may be.
Drugged for him life's bitter cup;
But. remember, he's your brother,
Lend a hand to help him up
Nor with righteous Indignation.
Or a Pharisaic pride.
Fold too close thy spotless garments.
Or. pass on the other slile.

J r'lo (rpltinir enjig-ed!" said Will's
young brother, nu-fully.
"I don't mind their being engaged,"
I said ! lo young sister, slroUiug tier
I cheek thoughtfully with lier tennis
i rae(uet. "Hut 1 wish they weren't ul- ,
ways ciT by llieuiselve.s. They make
i tip kiicIi a good set."
I "Ami there's no one else this niorn
1 big." said yourg biother l!a!j:h. Iting
I ing his raeij.iot. discontentedly, into the
corner of the tent. "I'll give yon .1(1,
j and service every time, if you like to .
have a single. Alacdie."
j Mnudie shook her head decidedly.
I Jlalph was a line partucr a tall, lis-
jiom boy just 1(1. and growing into a
grand athlete inn as an opponent lie
i was rather trying for a little girl two
.years his junior. "Von play loo well,
Itulpli," slie apologized, "and 1 get so ;
I hot. l iitlier says you play better than )
1 a i.ian." j
"Not if he's a good player," avowed i
Prank, frankly. "Will can In at me j
I when he likes. Hut there isn't much !
j difference between a boy ami a man in ;
, ui.ythiug. really, voir know."
"Oh, but men can do lols of things
boys can't."
j "What things?"
"Oh well smoke."
"Look here!" taid Kalpli, contiden
j tially, producing an ugly little clay
I head with a vulcanite stem.
; "Oh. Kalph! Vou don't realiy, do
: you'.'"
j ' "Don't I just'.' I say. Mandie, let's go
' dow u by the brook, and I'll teach you
to smoke, if you l!ke."
1ittle Jhindie inaile a funny mouth ,
big sister J'lo couldn't make prettier,
faces than she; and Kalph had i-m-o
' confessed to a chum thai he "liked the 1
look of that kid." "1 should be sick. I :
rpcet, nnd I don't think I want to
learn, Kalph." j
"We'l, let's go down by the brook,
; and I'll smoke," said the boy, grandly.
Of course, lie. didn't insult Jier by say
hig: ""Dou't tell" that was ipiite un
i.eiessary. So they we:;t and sat on the
grassy bank, a ml he had a few a very
few wli ill's at his nasty pipe. Then
they started catching tiddlers with '
1 their hands, and putting them in a pool
scooped out of the mud; and he let the
! pipe go out. A m::n would have relit it,
I bit t Jlu.'ph felt that he had done enough
for honor.
1 "(Irowu-iip people don't care about
catching tiddler," remarked Matlic,
suddenly, as lie deposited the seven-
i tceiit.lt imlia;;py t'.shlet in the pool.
".Not women. .Men do. They like
! everything that boys do, so far as 1 can
see. J'oys can do everything that men
tan; but girls can't do what women
i can. Though 1 can't see that wciuen
do much."
i "Oh, but they do. Lota and lots of
j things."
"We.l, they nin t much good at games,
anyhow. They don't care about them
really, anyone can see."
"Some of them do. 1 do."
! "15ut you're not a woman, kiddie. ;
I Mind! you'll be in." id he rescued her
adroitly' from overbalancing, as she
hung over the brook. It did not occur
to him that a woman might have lin
gered a superfluous second In a man's
arms, just as his pretty comrade did in
his.
"When I'm a woman. Ralph, I'll play
you at tenuis, and beat you," she said.
saucily.
"Hut you won't care about it really,"
observed be, disregarding the threat
ai unworthy of serious notice. "You'll
like women's things."
"What things?"
"1 don't know, do you? What things
do women like?"
"Oh. llirting: going for walks with
young men: being engaged, perhaps I
expect," answered I'm tie Maudle, wash
ing her aauds in the pool, and waving
them in the air to dry. Will would have
wiped Flo'a hands dry himself, but
iialph merely tossed over bit big pocket
handkerchief.
"(Jirls can't do those things," be ob
lerved. . '
Maudie's eyes sparkled very wickedly.
"Oh, but they could," she averred, "only
they haven't anyone to do them witb.
tloys are . so different than men. Of
course, they can't make love, or any
thing of thataort." .
Kalph rested his chin reflectively up
on his band, and kicked holes 4o ihe
bunk with bis heels. "They don't went
to: they could If they Hked."
"No. they couldn't. You couldn't."
"Yes, 1 could, as well aa you.-" , , f
, "Ob. no. you conldnt. My part k
easy at first I have only to look aloe,
.hurt see me!" She smoothed her hair
tad drees, folded her bands d&nnrely la
her lap and looked htngutshingly at
him. Then suddenly Itras very
shocking, but history demands strict
truth she put out ber tongue at him.
Is that part of the programme, kid
die?" asked ber cavalier, giving her a
gentle shake.
"Yea wi,tb a allly boy tike you."
"What would you do if 1 were sensi
ble?" "Nething."
-Then how"
"You'd beg-In, don't you eee!"
Jtalph blushed and fait a bit uncom
fortable, lie didn't bold U the school
boy dictum that girls areof nooeeount.
lie was too nice for that and so was
Maudie.
But flirtation ut first hand seemed
rather awkward, and If any of the fel
lows heard of it! So he paused, doubt
fully, whilst Mandie bit ber lip and
frowned.
"You'd belter catch some more tid
I filers," she remarked, with a naughty
light dancing in her eyes. "That's the
sort of thing for boys silly, big boys!"
A bad-tempered lad would have
grown angry, and a dull lad would have
felt humbled; but Kalph was neither.
So he just pinched her ear slightly and
teased: "If you found me a very nice
girl, I'd try."
The hot color rushed all over poor
little MaudicVi f.;ce. and something
choking surged up in her throat.
Kalph was so big aiul strong; she did
admire him so much, and looked upon
him as ipiite her property. A tear came
up in her eye-, almost, that he should
want someone uiinM" hutvhedidn't say
uuy thing,
"Perhaps 1 ou;-ht to find a girl for
myself .'" he suggested. She nodded,
const raincdly.
"She ought to be a bit vounger than
1?"
"Or course."
"And pretty ami nice."
"Certainly."
"Well, who shall it tie?" There was a
! mischievous twinkle in his dark eyes,
lie knew very well that there was no
j,Mrl so nice us Maudie, "1 know. l'e
just t bought of one. (iuuss!"
"I don't v ant to know," said she, sulk
. iiy, plucking viciously at the long
grass.
I "She's awfully jolly," continued he,
i rellectively; "and pretty my word!
I know she likes me. 1 think i shall
many her whrti I grow up."
"You'll change .tour mind, must like
ly," said Maudie, savagely, "and lie's
sine to. I dou't wa;:t to talk about such
nonsense. I dare
say she's nasty ; and
.1 down horrid! And

"1 don't w ant to
"You'll have lo."
"i won't."
"Vo.l will now." lie put one strong
inn ri'lit round Maudie's waist, and
held her dangling over the. brook.
"Look." .'-aid he. pointing to the wave
i::g relleetiou in the stream, "Isn't she
rippirg'.'"
I'retty Maudie blushed nnd laughed
and willfully sllut' Iter eVs. "I don't
see anyone," she said, in a soft, pie iscd
little voice. "You'll drop me, Kalphie."
"Yes, 1 will, if vou don't look at her
and say she's pretty." She opened her
eyes a little, but she looked at l.ini.
"Wlio'ii pretty'.'"
"The young person in the water."
"That boy do you mean? No m l,
wry." She turned her laughing, saucy
face up towards lis. Her eyes were so
blue and big, her lung hair brushed so
softly against his face, and her mouth
looked so rherry-ripe and fresh, that
he couldn't help Listing her a good
many times. KiTljdi always did things
m thoroughly, you know! And Maudie
didn't struggle, because a grown-up
won. an wouldn't have, or because she
didn't want to. of both. It's no use
asking me which, for I r.cver could un
derstand female ways; and I don't be
lieve anyone ever could.
Then they sat down very close to
gelher on the bunk of the brook, with
their legs dangling, and saitl nothing
for a moment. She looked half pleased
and half shy; nnd he. to tell the truth,
looked rather foolish.
"I wish I did understand making love.
Maudie girl." said he, slowly.
"Hoys don't like it."
"I cxptet they do, if they once lr
gin." "lint a boy couldn't make love really."
"I'erhaps with practice," he sug
gested. Do you know, I don't think he
was such a very simple boy.
"Oh. no; not really."
"Why?"
"P.eeause he cor.ldn't fall properly in
love. Not very much, you know."
Maudie gazed at hiin with saucer-eyes
that looked fathoms deep. I doubt
whether she was quite a guileless little
girl either; and I don't believe there is
such a thing!
"I think he could." said Ralph, decid
edly, "If the girl were you, Maudie."
"Hut people would laugh at him."
Kalph winced a little. "Of course, he
wouldn't make a fool of himself before
people like - men," he said. loftily.
"But he might like her very much, and
make love to her when no one was
tibout."
"Ah! Might."
"And he might promise to marry her
alien he grew up; and she might prom
ise hiin."
"Y'es they might," murmured
Maudie, looking at her shoes. Then the
boy's great arm went quictlyround her
waist, and she let herself be drawn close
to him, looking as happy as a woman! '
"I know it sounds soft. Maudie." he
aid, bashfully, "but, on my honor, I
do like yon an awful lot I don't think
any girl, was ever hnht so nice. Don't
rou think yon could promise to marry
me when we grow up?" ,
Yes," ahe whispered, nestling her
pretty bead'rlgbt into hi shoulder, "I
wilt, BaJph." And she did! Madame.
