THE WITHERED FLOWERS
Only a withered ouoegay
Ones lied with ribbon bias, ,
Uiven Die lung years ago;
When pluokeil 'twas fresh with (lew!
I remember well tbe night and place
And the little card that came .
Affiled with nothing written on
But situ ply Edward's naino
Full thirty years have cycled
Hlnwly, but tonight
Aa my tears dn n Ihe fl'uwers
They're to me as fresh and hright
Aa they were when they were sent me
By tbe one I loved ao well;
Strange, even now they send forth
The same delightful smell. t
It was the old sad story '
I was rich, and he was poor,
My parents proud and heartiest)
Made me I ward ignore.
The night hew-nt these flowers
1 was watched and could show '
My preference al the grand Iw.l
That gave the Hnal bluw.
To all our hopes DUhenrtened
He left the t'twn next dy.
I wept and grieved in silence
And the flowers I pat away.
Suitors I've hnd many
Of nil kinds, for none I oared
Twa Edward nly Eiward
That I would havt gladly share!,
My fortune. I grew aullen,
From my cheeks tbe color fled,
I pined for years in silenc4
Then I beard Edward was ded.
What foolish tears I am shedding
Over this crisp bouquet,
I'll undo the knot of ribbon
And throw these faded flower away.
What's thisb A dainty missive:
'If tonight you think all's well
Wear the white ruse in your hair, love
And that to me will tell
My fate, I will watch near you
la waiting 'neath the arbor
And at twelve we'll both away.'
Oh heaven! My brain Is whirling,
And this I nevtir knew,
Fate, cruel Fate you've foiled ma
I thought I alone was true.
I knew not why he left me
But now, bat now I see
He was aa true as I was
Well, perhaps, 'twas destiny.
Long sorrow I have soflered
'Tia thirty years too late
That I have read tbe masxage
But it was the hand of Fate
I shall keep the nosegay
And wben I'm laid to rest
I wished it pinned, but hidden
Upon my lifalees breast.

Bravast of Living Things.
The mongoose U. Ter brave, but
the most courageous of all living
things Is, by common consent of nat
uralists, tbe mole. Seemingly with
out any sense of fear whatever, the
mole will fight anything that crossaa
Its path. It never raises the white
Bag Neither giving nor asking quar
ter, it tears away at Its adversary un
til It kills it or is killed Itself. The
mole appetite Is tn keeping with Its
courage, and It thinks nothing of sat
ing its own weight. In appetite tba
spider Is a close second to tbe mole,
but when It comes to fighting the mole
carrlas the palm.

Tho ponderous doors of the bom
of the noted eye specialist swung
softly to behind the retreating form of
a young man, who stumbled rather
than walked down the flight of stops
that led to the street. Ills face was
drawn and hsga-ard, his square )!
set aa It in defiance to the awful sen.
tenc which bad been Imposed upon
him, for it had been a death blow to
all of John Morton's hopes and ambi
tions. Hla gradually failing eyesight
bad become worse, and, with grim de
termination, he bad at last decided to
learn his fate. With wildly beating
heart, but with outward calmness, be
had dropped In on the world famous
specialist After a careful examina
tion, th doctor gravely shook his
head.
"Tell me truthfully, "what you
think of my case, doctor, the young
man had commanded, and the sen
tence of doom that was pronounced
rang In his ears to his dying dsy.
Within a year you will be totally
blind. I can do nothing for you. Tour
continuous study bas been an addi
tional strain on your eyes and only by
giving up your practice and going out
Into the open, on a farm or ranch, can
you hope to retain even a vestige of
sight-
Out even at that, eventually I will
become blind?" Tbe doctor hesitated.
"Tell me," again insisted th young
man.
I am afraid th age of miracles is
past," the doctor said sadly. John
paid his fee, donned his hat and coat
and stumbled out Into tbe crisp au
tumn air. He winced aa tbe brilliant
sunshine fell on his uncovered eyes.
With a groan be placed his gloved
band before them to shield tbem from
the dinect rays.
Of what consequence, be thought
bitterly, were his early struggles, hl.i
devotion to his work, the applause of
his admiring friends. Would be not
gladly give all now to be able to step
down Into the ranks of those blessed
with God's most wonderful good
sight?
The one oasis In the dreary desert
of his mind waa tbe thought a new
terror came upon him. How could be
expect her to share the future living
death that was before him, and yet
how could he live without her? He
paused to wipe the perspiration from
bis brow with a hand that trembled
like a woman's.
If Evelyn learned how seriously he
was afflicted her loving generosity
would prompt her to give up every
thing which mad life dear, to aacrl
flee herself tor a hopeless case like
this. But she must not know. He
would straighten out bis affairs as
best be could In a day or two. and
then he would go away somewhere
and maybe aome time- he would
tell her all, but not now. Bhe
would not grieve long. Women never
do. She would eventually marry some
one who would protect her better
than he, a helpless blind man, could.
He bad come to the bridge that
spanned the sparkling river. He
leaned wearily against the Iron rail
ing and watched tbe turbulent, tossing
watera Hewing swiftly beneath. Boon
the dark night of blindness would be
upon him. shutting forever from his
view the beauties of the day. - Mutely
he raised hla eyes to the blue heavens
bending over him. He fancied he
could see his mother's sweet, sympa
thetic face framed In the fleecy clouds,
and an indescribable peace stole upon
him. With a heavy sigh be turned
and walked toward th city.
On leaving the doctor' office h
had not noticsd across th street a
young woman with wind-tossed hair
and rosy cheeks, who seemed to b en
joying to th fullest extent th long
walk ah had taken Into th suburb.
8b had aeen him and was itartled by
hla haggard appearance. Her first In-
llnation waa to call out to blm, bnt
seeing th hopeleee gestur when h
raised hla hand to shield hla yes, th
terrible truth dawned upon bar start
led brain. John' rapid strides had
taken him wall up th street when she
vossed swiftly and entered Dr. King's
vestibule. Boos ah was ushered into
bia presence.
"Dr. Klag," ah began xcltedly,
'John Mortoa waa her Just now.
What did you tall him?" Th doctor
waa startled by her vehemence, but
he was an old friend of the family and
knew Evelyn sine her childhood.
"Wont you b seated ?" he asked
ier In kindly ton. Th girl de
clined. "You're engaged to John, I
belters." Th girl nodded in the af
firmative. Impatiently waiting the in
formation she aougbt "Poor chap, I
was sorry I had to tell him, but he de
manded the whole truth and there's
no beating around the bush with, a
man' like John.
"I told him within a year he would
be totally blind, unlesa be gave up
als profession and went on a ranch
jt farm." Evelyn'a face had turned
ilowly whit. "Blind." she gasped.
catching at the chair for support "Oh,
1 must go to him," she said with a
'o wail ofranguish In her voice. "H
sill need me now."
Ttre midday Angelus was ringing
n a nearby church as Evelyn stepped
off the elevator before John's olflce.
Noiselessly she stepped In. John sat
U bis desk, bis face buried In his
ands. Evelyn moved forward softly
md laid a light, caressing touch upon
his bowed head. "John." The young
man started to his feet Tbe girl
nulled bravely through fast gathering
ears. "I know all, dear, and I came
to tell you 1 want to share your
