Oh, you pretty robin, keeping watch bestilo a lowly dwelling, Where tho happy sunshine rushes o'er tho gorse bloom bright and gay, Where tho blackbirds and tho thrushes are their loud lovo stories telling Do you know, 1 fancy, robin, you as sweetly siUK as they. Do you sco that verdant meadow where tho but tercups are growing, Where tho polden-hearted daisies twinkle 'mid tl:e tender grass? Do you mark tho lights ami shadows that the fleecy clouds arc throwing, As across the sky of azuro they fantastically pass?

Fretty robin, there's a maiden tall, and fair, and rather stalely, With a M ice as soft as yours Is, dwelling In that very cot, And her tresses catch tho sunbeams, though sho speaks and moves sedately, And her eyes nro lust the color of a blue for gettnenot, Whlser, robln-i;in you ti ll tnc Is sho wan d'rlng by the river, Where the catkins clothe tho willows nnd tho watereresses frrow? Tell me, robin, pretty robin, and I'll bo your debtor ever, , For her father docs not love me, nnd so, mind ycu, whisper low. U Keck, In Chambers' Journal BEGGAR WOMAN. Tho Kind Dcod That Crownod a Broken Lifo. A strong breeze, sharp with the cold siijrppRtinn of coming winter, swept up from the bay nml tossed tho creaking houghs of the old button woods that stood iilono; the roadside until they labored in the wind like ships at sea. The last of the fo;r was just disap pearing and curled fiercely up from the woods and waters, rolling away in pvat, sodden masses. In the north a Ion"; line of r.now clouds were sluggish ly moving forward. There was some thing1 peculiar almost sinister in their slow, lienvy formation, anil tho weather wise fisherman olT shore watched them uneasily nnd began to draw in tackle and make preparations to seek harbor. On the land tho farmers shook their heads and hastened to get the last of tho pumpkins and apples under cover. Of their own accord tho cattle left off grazing nnd sought the barnyards. Now and then stragglers from some frightened flock of wild geese flew toward tho south in anxious search of their mates. Near the end of one street of the lit tle fishing hamlet was a weather beat en, wood colored homestead of one story and a loft, surrounded by a fence al most as old as the house itself; but as one passed through the gateway and up the grass-grown walk into the smoke painted kitchen the poverty of the out side surroundings was forgotten in con templation of the profusion inside. At least this seemed to be the case with the little old woman who hobbled painfully tip the path to the half open kitchen door. There she stopped irreso lutely, but the savory smell of cooking was irresistible, and she pressed slowly forward into the low doorway. The kitchen was fragrant with the odors of the Saturday's baking; from the stove at the far end of the long room came a cheerful sputtering and hissing and over it a women bent in impatient suspense. Her back was toward the door, and she did not notice the great hungry eyes that were fastened on tho loaves of bread and the pies ami cakes and cookies that loaded the pine table. Such profusion made the wistful eyes gleam and the withered form tremble with eagerness. Hut she did not venture to cross the threshold. On tho floor two children were play ing. They had watched the. woman's approach with childish curiosity, the youngest rose to lii: feet and toddled toward her. After gazing at her a few moments with his big, wondering eyes he held up the cookie he had been nib bling. She hesitated, then took it uud ate it greedily. The boy laughed and went to get an other, but at this moment Mrs. ltarten looked up. Her face was flushed with heat and vexation. She was about to speak sharply to the children when sho caught sight of the bent figure in tho doorway, nnd her wrath was turned. Of all things she hated beggars the most. Paring the summer months many of them drifted up front the neighboring se nports and proved a con stant source of loss nnd vexation to the fishermen and farmers. Mrs. liarten had suffered with the rest, and as she turned from the stove her lips were I'.ratva sharply over her strong white teeth. She did not see the wistful eyes nnd patient smile. What she saw was n cowering beggar, with some outland ish kind of head covering and u ragged shawl closely drawn about the slight form. "Well?' she said, in a sharp, inter rogative tone. The old woman shivered ns though something had struck her, but her face remained perfectly blpnk. "A furriuer!" Mrs. liarten sprang forward nnd drew the children from so dangerous a presence. To her n foreigner seemed till that was dangerous mid depraved. A sudden sputter recalled her to the stove, nod by the time she was ngaiu at leisure a trace of her natural kindly disposition had come to tho surface. Talcing n generous handful of cookie iitid one of the loaves of bread, sho re turned to the door. l!ut the old woman had already passed the rickety gate and was hobbling slowly down the street. Mrs, I!artcn looked after her regret fully I wish I'd n-give her suthin'," she muttered, as she replaced the food on the table, "but land's sake alive," sho continued, briskly, after a moment's thought, "why sh'd 1 feel sorry? I.ike as not the old tramp wns Jest spying round ni ter suthin' to steal. Most like ly she'll have n dozeu snacks gin her before night. Here yott, ltol) W Liza, como back to tho house this min ute, and don't you dare go trapezin' out ag'in!" And with mind at rest and conscience satisfied, Mrs. liarten re turned to her compounds of fragrant odors. Slowly the afternoon wore away; the pies and cakes and cookies disappeared from the table and were replaced by pans of crisp doughnuts ami heavy spherical loaves of brown bread, with raised lines encircling them; with plat ters of juicy meats, browned to the critical point of perfection, and flanked with dishes of yellow pumpkin nnd white turnip and scarlet cranberry. As the table became crowded these in turn were taken to the storeroom to wuit the coining of the "great day." And still tho tirsd and flushed mistress of the kitchen went on with her mixing nnd tasting and baking. The low, sullen line of clouds beeamo more menacing mid crept on until they had masked the entire sky. The wind grew strong and was soon filled w ith lino particles vt swirling snow, but Mrs. liarten heeded not; timo was too precious. "It's growing dark," she grumbled, us she slid more pans into the oven; "days are pesky short this time o' year." It was only when a fierce gust of wind hurled a cloud of snow against the window that she looked up. 'Tor the land's sake!" she exclaimed. 'It's snowing 'n' I'll lay a dollar them dratted children's out in it." Hurrying to the door she called shril- ly: "Hob! Liza! March your boots in hero Ojuickcr'n lightning!" Receiving no reply she muttered angrily: "Upstairs rumagin', most likely. Seems with all my work they might quit their didoes for awhile." Hut when a sharp call up the stairs failed to elicit response she began to look anxious. Throwing a shawl over her head she went out into the yard. The snow was now whirling past in blinding sheets, and the keen wind cut one like a knife. Already white drifts were forming in the fence corners and sheltered places. Objects a dozen yards away were becoming indU.tiuct. A thorough search of the yard failed to show any trace of the children and sho returned to the house to decide on her next move. She could not determine the direction the childish feet had taken nnd once out of sight of the house she knew there was little probability ot their Gliding their way back by them selves. There was no danger of their being lost unless they wandered away from the village, but 'Liza had scarcely recovered from tho measles a:id Mrs. liarten had all the mother's horror of wet feet and colds. A smell of burning bread drew her attention to the stove. When she re- ! turned to the door she saw a bent figure coming up the path. A moment later and the old woman stood before her, but now the ragged shawl was closely wrapped around one child, while another clung to her skirls, sobbing bitterly. The stranger's face was full of a wistful tenderness, but Mrs. liar ten did not see it. Assured of the children's safety, her feelings under went a quick change. I lev child in the arms of a dreaded "furriuer." In a moment she had hurried the little ones to the fire and was removing theirouter garments. What contamination nnd disease might not lurk in the ragged shawl and draggled skirts! She was aroused froin her reflections by the entrance of her husband. "More wet feet, eh?" he said, ns he drew a chair to the stove. "Aller's wet feet when there's any thing to wet 'em in," she returned. Then, after a moment, i;hc added: "You go tell the old woman sho can come in to the fire, lieggarsand young 'tins are enough to make folks lose their wits." "I passed an old woman outside the gate," he said, as ho took his pipe from the shelf and began to fill it. "If it's her you mean, she's half down the street before this." "Then I'm shot o' thct trial," sho said, in a relieved tone. "Some of the neighbors will be sure 'n' take her in." All night long and the next day nnd night the' snow whirled and drifted about the village. Then the sun came out and the men and boys took their teams and shovels and began to dig communications between tho houses. As the paths became clear one neigh bor after another sallied forth to gossip over the events of the storm. At lengtii some one mentioned tho old beggar woman, and then it was learned that no one knew of her where abouts; nearly all had seen her, and most of them confessed that they had sent her away with n "flea in her bon not." One man thought sho went toward tho Freeman house. This was a de serted building just out of tho village. Without hesitation the men took their shovels nnd began to dig vigorously in that direction. And Mrs. liarten worked with tho foremost. "Lucky there's a good fireplace and plenty of fuel In the old house," said one. "Tito old lady can keep warm, but I guess she'll be mighty hungry." When they reached the house there wns no sign of its being occupied. "She ain't here," said the man who had spoken before, ns ho threw open tho door. I'.ut he was mistaken; they found her inside. She was dead. Kansas City Times. Ho Was n Stranger. "Alas," exclaimed tho returned na tive as he wijied his eyes with his pock et handkerchief. "Alas, alas! I sea no one I know! They nre all strange faces here, nro they not?" "Naw," said tho resident, "they're the same faces wo see every day! Yours is tho only strango one here!" lloston News. Poems as Pointers to tho Public.
