THE AFTER WORD.
How can I writs, dear heart? What ahall I say?
This ii a pleasant place? The hours run fast?
J have forgotten that there was a past
W here you and 1 once held high holiday I
That love's an episode, and we recover? '
That love's eternal, and we re hurt past death?
That life i the drawing 01 eacn separate urenin
Alone, my more than friend and less than lover?
How can I prove the tempest of my tears
Was more than to entreat my soul's desire
A plea for words that would have set you higher
In the warm niche that's held you all these years?
You were so denrer than my pride to me,
I could not judge you with a heart too wise.
The glory of a vision filled my eyes
And I was blind to what the end would be.
But now that I am patienter with pain
For joy that once was mine I see the worth
Of gifts is giving, and the kindly earth
Shows us no llower may bloom and die in vain.

Watson's Advice.
"I'm tired of this sort of life,"
Bald Sylvester to his friend Wat
son. "What sort of life?" asked Wat
son. "Why, my life the life I'm liv
ing." "What's the matter with It?"
"It's rotten. I hate It."
"Come, you've got nothing to
grumble at, surely."
"You mean because I'm rich,- and
all that sort of thing?"
"Yes particularly 'all that sort of
thing,' by which I take It you mean
your exceptional mental and physi
cal "
"Don't be an idiot! I tell you,
I'm Btck of myself sick of he whole
beastly show, sick of eating, and
drinking, and sleeping, and enjoying
myself. I suppose a man was meant
for something better than that."
"Of course. But you're not doing
yourself justice, old fellow. Eating
and enjoying yourself isn't the sum
total of your existence. Every child
on the estate knows better than
that."
"That's nothing," said Sylvester,
hurriedly. "I'm bound to look after
the estate, of course, but it's an
empty existence, all the same, Wat
son. I'm a miserable, lonely man."
Watson gave a prolonged whistle.
"So that'B what's th3 matter with
you," he said. "Now I understand.
Sylvester, who Is the lady?"
"There is no lady," replied Sylves
ter, flushing beneath his tan.
"Then I'm on the wrong track. It
Isn't matrimony you're hankering
after?"
"To tell you the truth, I believe It
Is," murmured Sylvester, sheepishly.
"Then why, for goodness sake,
lon't you marry?" -
"Well, I I mean to. That's what
I want to talk to you about."
"Why not talk to the lady?"
"There is no lady," repeated the
other. "Not yet, at least," he added,
confusedly. v
' "You mean to say there is no one
you care about?"
"No; at least well no. That Is,
I'm not in love with any one, you
know."
Watson laughed. "I'm beginning
to understand," he said. "There are
lots of girls you like, and you don't
know which to fall in love with,
eh?"
"It sounds idiotic, doesn't it?"
"Not at all. You're not the first
man who's felt like that."
"I'm a very bad judge of women,
Watson."
"Oh! Perhaps you want me to rec
ommend a wife to you?"
"Well yes. At least, you under
stand," he added, quickly. "I'm not
such a conceited ass as to Imagine I
can choose a wife as I should choose
a horse."
"No; of course not."
"In fact, I dare say, I shall have to
ask a good many before anybody will
have me. But, of course, one has to
make up. one's mind whom to ask."
Watson looked at his friend in
amusement mingled with admiration.
Sylvester had spoken with the ut
most simplicity. There was not the
slightest suspicion of mock modesty
In tone or manner. "And yet,"
thought Watson, "he is a man few
women would say 'no' to."
"Look here," he said, aloud,
"you're sure there's no one you've
made up your mind to ask?" '
"No," replied Sylvester, hesitating
a scarcely perceptible second.
"What a pity Nellie's made up her
; v ;nd to marry Lowry. I could con
scientiously recommend her!"
"Of course. Your sister's a prize.
However, Lowry's the happy man In
that case."
"How about Rita Vernon?" asked
Watson. "You were rather struck
In that quarter, weren't you?"
- "With her good looks yes," said
Sylvester, "but well have you ever
seen her in a temper? I have."
"That settles her, then. There's
Mollie Branson. She's amiable and
good-tempered, as well as pretty."
, "She's too good for me."
"Which means that you don't care
for her. Well, then, have you
thought of Blanche Lester?"
"I have to think of her," returned
Sylvester, with a whimsical smile.
' "Then there Is some one, after all!"
exclaimed his friend.
"You don't understand. My rela
tions with Blanche Letter are of a
strictly business-like nature. She
writes letters asking for donations
to her various charities, and I an
swer them."
"What' of Edith Vaughan?" de
manded Watson, after a moment's
pause.
"I admire her at a distance," said
Sylvester, solemnly.
GRETE HAHN.
"You're hard to please, man. Cissy
Talbot is a nice girl," remarked Wat
son, studying the celling.
"She's charming," earn Sylvester,
with enthusiasm. "Pretty and clever,
too."
"Then what's to hinder you
from "
"Watson," interrupted Sylvester,
"there's some one you haven't men
tioned yet."
Watson gave a start. "Is there?"
he asked.
"Yes. It's curious, 1) .cause I hap
pen to know her rather better than
any of the others. You know whom
I mean, don't you?'
"Not little Lucy Summering?
"No. Francis Graham. You've
said nothing about her."
"No," replied Watson, in a me
chanical tone. "I've said nothing
about her."
Sylvester stared. "What's wrong?"
he asked. "Don't you like Miss Gra
ham?" "I have the greatest admiration
fof her," said Watson, quietly.
"My dear fellow, so have I!" said
Sylvester. "She's splendid, isn't
Bhe? She's the only really beautiful
woman I know."
"Yes."
"And I believe she's as good as
Bhe's beautiful. WatBon, I think I
could love that girl."
"Has It only just occurred to you?"
asked Watson, coldly.
SO LIVE that EVERY THOUGHT and DEED
MAY HOLD WITHIN ITSELF the SEED
of FUTURE GOOD and FUTURE MEED.
Sylvester looked Bheeplsh. "I I
never realized It properly until now,"
he stammered.
"I think I understand," said Wat
son. "Watson, old man, do you do you
think she could ever learn to to care
for me? I know I'm not worthy of
her, but "
"No man Is," interrupted Watson.
"I mean," he added hastily, "no man
is good enough for any good woman.
But we all know that. I suppose"
in a strained voice "Miss Graham is
going to marry somebody, and I don't
know any one more fit than you
are."
Sylvester flushed like a schoolboy.
"Thank you," he said, simply. "It
Isn't true, though. There are heaps
of better fellows. Watson, do you
think there's a chance for me?"
"Of course I do. Go in and win,
old fellow."
"I say, Watson, will you do me a
favor?"
"Well?"
"Your sister's very friendly with
Miss Graham, Isn't she? Do you
think she'd she'd put In a good
word for me? Women understand
that sort of thing."
"I'll ask her," said Watson, turning
away his head.
""He's the best fellow in the world,
Nellie."
"H'm."
Nellie Watson cast a swift glance
at her brother from beneath her long
lashes.
"If any one deserves Frances Gra
ham, he does."
"H'm."
"He's the best match In the neigh
borhood." -
"From a worldly point of view,
yes."
"I thought you liked Sylvester,
Nellie."
"So I do."
"And there's no reason why Miss
Graham shouldn't like him."
"No."
"Well, then?"
"Jim, can't you guess why I don't
want Frances to marry Mr. Sylves
ter?" "Nellie! You don't mean you're"
"In love with him?" laughed Nel
lie. "Don't be silly. I've got what
I want No, it's you I'm thinking
ol."
"What do you mean?"
"You know very well what I
mean," retorted Nellie, a trifle sharp
ly. "You've got as much right to
Frances as Sylvester, and If I were
In Frances' place I should know which
of you two to choose."
"You're joking, Nell. A poor beg
gar like me has no right even to
dream of Miss Graham."
"Don't be absurd. You talk
though you actually were a beggar."
"I am, compared to Sylvester."
"If a woman Is worth anything,
that make no dlsoreats to her."
"But It does, It should, to the mas.
He has no right to ask her to share
his poverty."
"Not even if she knows she loves
him?" asked Nellie, slowly.
"Nellie! He doesn't know It He
can't know It! It's impossible."
"Impossible!" repeated Nellie,
with an odd smile. "Impossible that
she should love him? Queerer thing
than that have happened, Jim."
Watson made no reply.
"Still, I Buppose you know best,"
Nellie went on, in a tone of gentle
Irony. "And so you really want me
to Intercede with Frances for Sylves
ter?"
"Yes."
"You want me to tell her what an
excellent husband your friend would
make?"
"Yes."
"You want me to point out to her
how handsome he is, and bow rich,
and how ahem! altogether irre
sistible?"
"Well, yes something of that sort,
In a delicate, tactful sort of way, of
course. You'll know how to do It,
Nell. Women understand that sort
of thing."
"Do they? Perhaps. But not In
the way you think."
"What do you mean?"
"Never mind. Well, I'll follow your
Instructions, Jim."
"Thanks, old girl."
"Jim, how stupid you men are!"
And Nellie began to laugh, for no
apparent reason.
.
"May I cpme in, Mr. WatsonT
Nellie told me I should find you
here."
Watson jumped from his chair in
surprise. "Miss Graham! I thought
you were at Farnlelgh."
"So I was. I came over to see
Nellie, on Important-business."
"Oh!"
"And I came partly to see you,
too." Miss Graham's tone was per
fectly matter-of-fact.
"That's very nice of you," replied
Watson, stupidly.
"Please don't mention It," returned
Frances, demurely. "You see, I felt
I ought to thank you personally for
the kindly Interest you- have taken in
my welfare. But how did you guess
that I was looking for a husband?"
"Miss Graham, I beg your pardon,
I had no Intention " began Watson,
in confusion.
She Interrupted him with a little
wave of her hand. "Oh, don't apolo
gize," she said. "I'm very much In
debted to you, really. To tell the
truth, I had no idea Mr. Sylvester
I was such a paragon of all the virtues
till you till Nellie, I mean told me
so."
"I never meant I thought Nellie
would " stammered Watson.
"Mr. Watson," she went on, look
ing suddenly serious, "I agree with
Nellie in everything. I consider Mr.
Sylvester a very fine fellow. I con
sider that his wife will be a fortunate
woman, but I I'm afraid I have a
perverted sense of humor, and so,
when Nellie had finished, I I could
n't help it. I burst out laughing right
in her face, and then Nellie burst out
laughing, too, and we laughed, and
laughed, till the truth suddenly
struck me."
"The truth?" repeated Watson.
"Yes. I saw it all. I knew who
had Inspired Nellie. I knew that she
cculdn't have been so stupid."
"I don't understand."
"Mr. Watson, do you honestly be
lieve that a girl will fall in love with
a man on somebody else's recom
mendation? Do you really Imagine
that by praising a man you can make
her marry him?"
Watson was dumb.
"Don't you see, I realized that only
a man could have made such a mis
take, and I made Nellie tell mo every
thing." "What a fool I've been," Bald Wat
son. "Miss Graham, I'm afraid I've
done Sylvester mora harm than
good."
"No, no," exclaimed Frances.
"Don't make that mistake."
"Then you do care for him? You
are going to" '
He broke off abruptly.
"Forgive me," he said, after a
pause. "The whole thing has been a
piece of Impertinence on my part. I
beg your pardon."
"Mr. Watson, I want to answer
your question. Last night Mr. Syl
vester asked me to be his wife, and
I have his full permission to tell
you this you may congratulate us
both!"
Watson looked at her with a white
face. "I do congratulate you," he
said, huskily. "I wish you both every
happiness. Miss Graham."
"Thank you."
"Is it to besoon?"
"What?"
"The wedding."
"Whose wedding, Mr. Watson?"
He started at her In surprise.
"Why, yours, of course."
"Mine? With whom?" she asked,
affecting deep amazement Then, as
though a sudden light had dawned
upon her. "Oh, how silly of me!"
she cried. "I might have known you
would misinterpret my words. I'm
not engaged to Mr. Sylvester at alll"
"But you said JuBt now "
"You were to congratulate us?
Yes; but I said that because we're
not going to be married. It's a great
deal to be thankful for, you know.
We both feel that now."
Watson continued to stare at the
girl dazedly.
"You see," Frances went on, calm
ly, "Mr. Sylvester Isn't a bit In love
with me. He fancied be was, but I
pointed out his mistake. I described
to him at some length all the sensa
tions of a man who is really In love,
and he had to admit that he didn't
feel like that at all. Mr. Watson,
when you declared juBt now that you
had done your friend more harm than
good, I contradicted you."
"Yes," Bald Watson.
"I only meant to say," she went on
hurriedly, "that you had made no
difference in his prospects, one way
or the other. That If I had loved
him, nothing -you or anybody else
could have said or done would have
made any difference. The man I
love "
She stopped, and her face flushed
a rosy red.
Something In her eyes quickened
the beating of his heart.
f'The man you love," he repeated.
In a low voice. "What of him?"
"He is so proud," whispered Fran
ces. "He will not speak, and yet I
have told him that I know every
thing." , "Frances! You can't mean "
"Must I speak more plainly still?"
she asked, tremulously.
Without a word, he held out his
arms to her, and she sank Into them
unresistingly. New York Weekly.

Protect the Hens.
When warm weather comes we must
look out for the hen lice. I clean my
henhouse out every week all winter
and give a general cleaning twice a
year.
As the roosting rooms are lined with
tarred paper I seldom have many lice,
and the few that there are can be de
stroyed eby the use of insect powder,
kerosene and whitewash.
In an old building the little red mltes
are sometimes worse than lice, tnese
stay on roosts and in cracks of build
ing during the day and may be de
stroyed by liberal applications of
whitewash, aided by carbolic acid.
When you set a hen, dust her and
the nest with Insect powder and keep
a constant lookout for the lice. If any
get on the young chicks, put a bit of
oil or grease on tht chick's head, but
do not grease them all over and then
apply sulphur. I try to have the hen
free from lice before the eggs hatch.
It Is not well to put grease on the sit
ting hen as it may injure the eggs by
closing up the pores in shellB. John
