We were of Drakels Atlantic fleet, A Spanish town we raided, NVe fired their town and sank their fleet- Our blood for gold we traded. Gone are the thunih-screw and the brand- We ripped them from their places. The Spanish whelp, Don Ferdinand A gallows tree now graces. 1 And now our ships we homeward turn, f Their holds are Hlled with treasure. For 21 sight of English downs we yearn, And a life of English pleasure. JAMES ALLAN, June ,IQ.

out that night. I-Iow could she help it? Miss Barnsby was continually evading him, and finally after she seen that he perceived her she fled to her rooms. Many tiresome days followed for her as she did not wish to meet him, and yet her curiosity would not permit her to leave the country. Miss Barnsby was not the kind to leave the puzzle unsolved. Had she been in the wrong? What did the young man think of her? E One afternoon, about a week after the adventure, Miss Barnsby was sitting at her window reading. She happened to glance up, and there across the lawn was a cat crouching behind a bush. Its tail was waving and its whole body quivering. It was apparent that the prey was about to come within reach, and just at that moment it did-a robin. Miss Barnsby watched the cat play with the soon-wounded robin, by cuffing it around, and running after it when it had happened too far away. The same anger that had been aroused when she had heard the old, dilapidated horse being treated so harshly, rose anew. She im- mediately went to her dresser, took out a small pearl-handled revolver, ran downstairs and out across the lawn. Miss Barnsby crept within a few yards of the scene of the tragedy, pointed her small revolver at the cat, turned her head away, closed her eyes, and then fired. There was a yell, but not a cat's yell. The cat went scampering away. . Chl what have I done ? she sobbed as her former sufferer came limping into view from among some trees with fishing tackle in his hands. NVhat do you think I have done now? the young man asked her. Are you hurt badly? That was not meant for you. I am so sorry. 'That it was not meant for me ? he asked, laughing, But no, the bullet only made a surface wound below my knee. it Miss Barnsby persuaded him to permit her to bandage it. This neces- sitated a hasty trip to her room for bandages and an antiseptic. XVhile she was going and returning his question, XN'hat do you think I have done now? kept coming before her. She knew her after-thoughts of her other injury to him were true. And she resolved to ask him of it when she had finished bandaging. H50 you really thought I did it? I-Iow cruel of you, he later answered. I will tell you how it really happened. I chanced to be coming toward the road. from fishing in a near-by stream, and when I reached the place the old horse had fallen, just as the farmhand raised his arm to strike the animal another blow with his whip. He had just yelled, 'Get up! or I'll kill youf or something to that effect. I leaped at the man and struck him. He did not wait to argue the matter but started in the direction he had just come from, and at no slow speed. Then you came upon your fiery steed and struck me, who had struck the man, who had struck the horse. I-Iow can you ever forgive me? If I had only- seen the Heeing man. lN'ell, it is in the past, let us forget it, he pleaded. The punishment will be that you will have to come canoeing with me this afternoon. Two weeks later an engagement was announced among the few guests at the fashionable summer hotel. I CARL A. MOI-IRHARDT, june ,I7

Night O'er all the earth the herald of the night, VVith feet soft clad in rays of setting sun, And with a trumpet formed of moonbeams bright, Proclaims the reign of darkness has begun. Twilight, the fav'rite of the night's mild Queen, In soft and sombre gown of shadowy gray, Xllith noiseless step, and quiet, and peaceful niien, Points out the path to earth,-the Milky Wfay.
