And point out the places to wade.

And counsel the man on foot;
But get down and walk, and youll change
your talk,
As you feel the peg in your boot.
It is easy to tell the toiler
How best he can carry his pack;
But not one can rate a burden’s weight
Until it has been on his back

5 THE LOST LAND. =
David Royant was sitting out on
the terrace, sitting out with a part-
ner who had laughingly declined to
dance. The fragrant scent of hot-
house flowers hung in the air, and the
strains of the famous El Dorado waltz
floated out from the ballroom.
He was a tall, determined-looking
man; he had a strong chin and good
honest brown eyes. His was the face
of a man who had fought a hard bat-
tle and conquered.
The woman—the woman who
didn’t want to dance—was a slight
creature with a pair of haunting
gray eyes and a cloud of fair, exquis-
itely silky hair. There was a some-
thing indescribably attractive and al-
luring in her whole personality.
“The El Dorado,” murmured Vanes-
sa, listening to the music. She gave
a slight, delicate laugh, then she
turned to her companion.
“Do you think there is an Fl Dora-
do—such a country?’ she asked med-
itatively, “or is it a fairy tale, like
the rest?”
Her sigh was infinitely pathetic.
It was difficult to realize for the mo-
ment that an eminently successful
woman was asking the wistful ques-
tion, a woman whose art had made
her famous, and who played the vio-
lin as none other could or would.
Curious, too, that she should ques-
tion David Royant on the subject. If
there was a man on earth who had
found the land of El Dorado this man
had, for Royant was a millionaire,
and more than a millionaire, a man
who had built up a miraculous for-
tune, as it were, in the twinkling of
an eye. He had stumbled on a gold
mine by pure accident.
“Oh, no, I believe in El Dorado
Of course, there is such a land—
there must be,” he continued, ‘“‘cth-
erwise all the poets and dreamers
have been mad—all the singers, all
the musicians. And it would be
rather a pity te believe that, wouldn’t
7”
This was not the first time he had
met Vanessa Lessing by any means,
for they were friends now of long
standing; but the woman interested
him. For all her fame, for all her
magnificent success, and her curicus
and indefinite beauty, her face was
not the face of a happy woman. 'The
eyes were hungry eyes.
“Some people’’—Vanessa spoke
slowly and very softly—‘‘some peacple
hold that El Dorado is a land of gold.
It is the city of the rich man, and no
one can enter it unless he has great
wealth.”
David Royant shook his head.
“Don’t believe that story,” he said
decidedly; ‘it is a fable. I am a rich
man myself, but’’—he spread out his
hands—*‘I haven’t found the land
you speak of, though I came near to
finding it once.”
His strong rugged face softened.
‘A new look came into his eyes.
“Tell me,”” she leaned forward,
“how did you come near to the coun-
try, how did you lose your chance of
landing in it?”
“It is a very ordinary story,” he
smiled, then crumpled his program up
into a hard ball; “just the story of
a young man passionately in love
with a young woman, who goes
abroad to try to make a fortune for
her. He comes back vears after with
his fortune, but the girl—"
“Yes, the girl?” murmured Va-
nessa.
‘“‘She’s the mother of girls herself,”
he answered simply, “a sparkling
young matron of thirty. Happy
enough, I've no doubt, even though
the man she married doesn’t happen
to be quite so wealthy as I am. Oh,
I don’t suppose she cared much for
me, really,” he added with a dry
laugh, ‘‘else she would have waited
as other women have waited.”
“Things are better for you than
they were for me,” she muttered.
She shuddered as she spoke.
“Years ago when I was young,
barely eighteen,” she went on, “I was
engaged to be married. He was a
struggling young barrister, and I was
one of a family of many sisters.
There was no earthly prospect of our
being married for years; but that
didn’t matter in the least, we were
quite happy. And then, one after-
noon, when I happened to be playing
my violin at a small afternoon party,
a big ‘musician heard me, and told
me that if I chose to work hard I
should have a future before me-—a
great future. Of course, I was ex-
cited—flattered. Then, later on,
when the big man’s opinion was cor-
roborated by other great musicians,
it seemed natural that I should ac-
cept the great offer made me by a
liberal patron of music—an offer to
pay my expenses in Paris if I chose
to study music there, and definitely
take it up as a profession. My kind
friend made one stipulation, how-
ever; I was to break off my engage-
i
i
ment—for a time. For an artist can-
not serve two gods, she said, and I
suppose she was right. For music
demands everything—one’s life, one’s |
soul.”
“You broke off your engagement?”
Rovant spoke curtly.
“I broke it off in a sort of a way,
but it was an understood thing be-
tween us that when I had finished my
studies, and was beginning to take
my place in the musical world, our
engagement should come on again.” | car
“What happened?’ Royant looked
at her serutinizingly. How pale, how
fearfully pale she had grown! And |
this was the woman who was sup- |
posed never to have had a love affair |
in her life, but had devoted herself
entirely to her art!
“Then came my debut, which was
a wonderful triumph, and after that |
it seemed to me that I had the world |
at my feet. Brilliant offers of musi-
cal engagements poured in upon me.
My concerts were thronged. I was
lionized and made much of. I made
money—mplenty of money.”
“And the man—what happened to
the man?”
She gave a little choking sob. “Oh,
he loved me—he loved ‘me; but he
was too generous ever to press his
claim upon me, even though he knew
I cared for him—-cared for him deep-
ly. He wanted me to enjoy my won-
derful success, unhampered by the
cares of domestic life. ‘Wait; choose
your own time to marry me, dear,’
that was what he always said. I
didn’t realize that I was letting a man
break his heart for me. It was only
when my dear got ill that I realized
the truth, for he called out in his de-
lirium—-called out to the woman he
had loved so patiently and so well—
to come to him, never recognizing
that she was there—by his bedside.
And on the night he died, he said,
being still very delirious, that I had
never loved him. I had preferred
fame and ambition—to happiness.”
She shuddered, and David Royant
no longer wondered how it was that
when she played on her violin men
and women wept.
A silence fell, which neither the
man nor the woman cared to break;
then the dance music suddenly ceased
in the ballroom, and a second later a
young couple swept up to the en-
trance of the little sitting-out room.
The sound of their happy talk
reached David Royant and the vio-
linist.
“To sit out with one's husband—
most unfashionable, Jack.” The
girl's voice was full of delicious mock-
ery, her lips rippled with smiles.
‘“Madam, you know you are in
love!’ He spoke in tones of mass
terful tenderness. “And in love
with your own property, too. Ab-
surd!”
The girl
laugh.
“Jack, you darling,” she whis- |
pered, ‘isn’t it good to be happy?
Aren’t you glad we didn’t marry for
money, but for love?”
They moved away, in the full hey-
day of their youth and strength, ex-
ulting in each other and in life, a
crowned son and daughter of joy,
drawn back to the glamor of the
hearth side. :
“El Dorado!”
Royant gently.
answer. .
David Royvant was silent for a mo-
ment, then’ he touched his companion
upon the arm. .
“Shall we make search together
for the road which leads back to E!
Dorado?” he asked. “Shall we try
to find the lost country, or does it
belong only to youth?”
“Only to: youth, I'm afraid,” she
whispered back. ‘‘And we have lost
our youth.”
‘“What of that?’ he replied. ‘““We
might dwell under the shadow of the

ORIGIN OF WORD “REBUKE."”
|
The Root Brings to Us the Sound of
Blowing and Puffing.
To “rebuke” is, according to its |
etymology, to show disapproval by
spitting or blowing from the mouth. |
It is ejecting or turning back. The
root of the word as it was used hy
our Aryan ancestors, thousands of
years ago, was ‘‘buk,” which was of
imitative origin, being the noise made
in puffing from the cheeks.
This sound that came with the dis-
approval marked by ejecting from
the mouth is the exact reverse of the
approval marked by a kiss. In the |
kiss we draw in and bring nearer
to ourselves, and in the gpitting,
puffing or hissing we cast out or
throw from ourselves. The opera-
tions are primarily founded on the |
action of taking in ‘what appeals to |
the appetite and rejecting what does
not appeal to it. The root of the
word has come from the first prompt- |
ing of an animal nature. |
This sound of “buk’” which our |
first ancestors made in snorting,
blowing or spitting away from them
has come down to us and lies at the
foundation of our ‘rebuke’ and ‘re-
buff.” It has come to us through
the Latin where the ‘re” means
“back’ and ‘‘bucca’” the ‘cheek’ in|]
which it has preserved the original |
idea of puffing from the mouth. In|
the French is the same ‘re’ and]
‘“bouque,”’ to stop, obstruct or shut!
up. In the old French there was
“reboucher,” to dull, to blunt, to]
turn back; hence, metaphorically re- |
fusing or turning aside a request.
In Normandy they say ‘‘rebouquer”
for to reject. This root has gone
into the Sanskrit ‘“bukk’” which
means blowing. So it is that through |
the ages rebuking has been the blow-
ing out from the mouth.—New York |

An Orgy of Sound.
If we can believe the German ad-
mirers of Richard Strauss, the com-
poser, his new opera, “Electra,” is
not only the latest thing in art, but
exemplifies in the most advanded de-
gree the music of the future. Ine®
dentally, we are told that the “Elegs
tra” orchestra, includes eight French
hours, seven trumpets, an E flat clare
inet, two basset horns: and a some-
what unusual instrument of aural tor-
ture called the heckelphone. It also
appears that the bass drum is at
times brutally hammered with a
birch club, and a Chinese gong is the
subject of a cruel assault.- at the
hands of the wielder of the triangle
rod. It is not surprising to learn
that with these accessions the music
is likened at times to an orgy. of
noise in’ which the human voice vain-
ly endeavors to rake itself heard.
The instruments shriek, and
wail, and then they crash in a roof
raising cyclone of unshackled sound.
The 200 critics who were present at
the first performance appear to have
left the royal theater in Dresden
dazed :and more or less stunned. One
of the best known of these critics,
the music editor of the Dresden An-
zeiger, a paper which is understood
to be under municipal control, is
said to have forfeited his position by
his scoffing references to the Strauss
work, and forbidden entry to the roy-
al theater. Naturally, the Dresden
music lovers are divided into two
classes, Strauss and anfi-Strauss, and
the violent squabble over the Wag-
ner music of forty years ago, threat-
ens to be duplicated.
If this prodigality of noise is really
to be the music of the future, the
unaccustomed human tympanum will
require strengthening and thoughen-
ining as well as schooling. But the
Wagner music was finally assimilat-
ed and the old accusation of boister-
ous dissonance is rarely heard. Per:
haps it will be the same way with
Strauss.
DIDN'T REALIZE
How Injurious Coffee Really Was.
Many persons go on drinking coffee
year after year without realizing that
it is the cause of many obscure but
persistent ailments. ; :
The drug—-caffeine—in coffee and
tea, is very Lge uric acid, and is of
ten the cause of rheumatic attacks
which, when coffee is used habitually,
become chronic.
A Washington lady said recently:
“I am sixty-five and have had a good
deal of experience with coffee. I
consider it very injurious and the
cause of many diseases. : I am sure it
causes decay of teeth in children.
“When I drank coffee I had sick
spells and still did not realize that
coffee could be so harmful, till about
a year ago I had rheumatism in my
arms and fingers, got se nervous I
could not sleep and was all run down.
“At last, after finding that medi-
cines did me no good, I decided to
quit coffee entirely and try Postum.
After using it six months I fully re-
covered my health beyond all expec-
tations, can sleep sound and my rheu-
matism is all gone.” “There’s a Rea-
son.”
