YESTERDAY.
There is a road to yesterday,
And we may trace its gleam
In' flecking shade or dancing ray
Upon some little stream;
Or we may see it, when, with eyes
Half closed, we hear-a song
That calls up many a glad sunrise
And many a twilight long.
There is a road to yesterday, v
And each one know3 its start ' ,
The portals to this wondrous way
Is held within the heart;
From there the pleasant courses lead
As far as one can see
It rests on many a golden deed
And many a memory.

weak to protest further, on to a home
wardbound ship. They never thought
of consulting him. Of course, he would
want to go home. What Englishman
of them all, chained by circumstance
to the land of threatening liver and
ever-present mosquitoes, would miss
the chance' of a break-down to take
him back to England?
So it was that he awoke from the
lethargy oX extreme weakness to find
the salt sea breezes blowing health
back to him, whether he would or no;
found the strong, hearty winds urging
him to the pursuit of new ideas with a
life renewed; found the restless waves
hurrying him to the land he had so
long wearied to see. Waves and winds
cared nothing for his change of mind.
As he sat brooding on his deck chair,
he seemed to hear them laughing
boisterously together over the frail
fancies he held so sacred. "There are
as good fish In the sea as ever came
out of it," they seemed to saj (Waves
and winds are proverbially blustering
and coarse of wit.) "Why, she may be
fat ; she must be nearly forty, to judge
by you! In England, the land of
healthy, pretty women, a man may
soon find'healing for love-sickness. Man
alive: What is one woman among
many, when all are fair? Choose a
maiden fresh and youthful, and in her
smiles forget a pale myth of an out
lived age. You have managed without
her all these years, and not done so
badly come now, own up! How much
pleasure has there been mingled in
your pretty pretence of sorrow? Even
now you might be in a far worse case
Why, you might be bound, irretrievably
bound, to a woman wprn and aged,
and changed in a thousand ways from
the girl you remember-ia woman you
would not know if youji passed her in
the street! And, instead, you are lee
as air as free as we are to make a
fresh choice; to make love anew to a
fresh heart how much better than
you could teach It were you raw and
ignorant yourself you alone know!"
But he put his lean, brown hands
over his ears; he would not listen to the
voices of winds and waves. He
clutched with 'all the desparation of a
drowning man at his frayed belief in
his own perfect faithfulness. He do
fied the pagan creed of the untamed
seas. He passionately vowed, for the
sake of his cherished middle-aged self
respect, to marry no young girl.
ACT III.
And lie kept the letter of his vow.
He certainly married, and only a few
months after his return; but the wife
he chose was nearly of an age with j
himself a widow, frail and delicate.
and faintly reminiscent of a byegone
prettiness. The first time he saw her,
before they were introduced, she re
minded him of his old love. He could
not have said how or where, but it
proved an attraction strong .enough to
chain him to her side, to bring him
quickly to her feet he who had never
done anything before without the ut
most deliberation and thought. And
she was not by any means generally
fascinating, only one cf those gentle
colorless women who fail to interest
even their, friends, but who generally
succeed in obtaining and holding fast
the warmest attachment of a certain
class of quiet, shy men.
Her past was peopled by her former
husband and her ailing children, now
all lost to her, but she did not find
much to tell him about them. She spoke
to him more about an early attachment
that had proved unfortunate. She
shQok it out of the rose leaves and
lavender of memory in which she had
long laid it for his inspection a
crumpled, faded relic of her girlhood.
"We were both very young. His name
was Brown, too," she said, with her
uncertain smile. "
He remembered afterwards that she
seemed to look at him rather curious
ly, as though , expecting a question he
did not put; as though she was sur
prised but not ill-pleased that he should
let the subject drop. At the time he
was only afraid of distressing lier with
continuing it He believed she had
made a special effort on his behalf, and
he was -unwilling that she should take
trouble to please him when he was so
well pleased without. He had been
quick to notice thaCr.s a rule, beyond
her little ailments and the most trivial
passing events, few things stirred her
to conversation.
Yet he fell honestly in love with
her; fought and conquered for her sake
his ingrained reluctance to set any
woman in the place of the woman who
had failed him. This was the sort of
woman she might have grown into, he
said, in self-defense. An occasional
trick of speech or gesture in his new
irol would remind him quite startingly
of his old idol; biit he decided that
women were more alike, after all, than
he had thought them. Although he
half-despised himself for, unfaithful
ness, he half-excused himselx because,
at least. he was faithful to a type. The
love of his youth seemed very ner to
'him as he gare himself unreservedly
to tne love of his .middle-age. He
seemed to know this
stinct. He had no question or need to
worry her to learn all he required to
earn aoout her.
Then, one day. she returned to the
dropped topic of her early love, and
there was the merest trace of excite
ment in her voice. . . Mi
"His name was Charlie." she said.
"that boy I tpld you about. Don't you
think that makes it mor3 than evei
coincidence our love since your
name is Charles?" K
I used to be always called Charlie
once, he said, absently, for he was
looking very intently at her. m ;
Her pale cheeks flushed almost
youthfully. "I wonder," she went on,
you have no story to tell me no; old
romance. Surely you met some one
abroad or before you went abroad?";
She was looking younger and brightei
than he had ever seen her. It whs
marvellous, the transformation of just
that touch of color in her cheeks how
it rounded them, helped her to shake
off the marks of trouble, the hand of
Time. To-day she had laid aside hei
heavy black black never suited her
and her hair was more loosely twisted,
perhaps. And then, in her eyes a
most unusual thing was a stray gleam
of fun and mischief, showing her alive
to the comedy that springs sometimes
from heart-breaking issues; in this in
stance the cOmedy of her having rec
ognized him at once, although so much
had come into her life between them;
of his having failed to recognize her,
although she had never for a clear
hour left his thoughts.
But he knew her now.
"How can you ever forgive my blind
ness?" he said.
But it . seemed his blindness had
pleased her. "Cannot you see," she
asked, "that I might prefer to be loved
for what I am now rather than! for
something I was once but never can be
again? Now I know that you love me
because I reminded you of a girl you
used to love, but also for myself.
woman growing old. You do not only
love me "because you used to love me
and think it is your duty never to leave
off doing a tiling you have once -begun."
And she owned to having done what
little she could to keep up a delusion
that had come by chance; the chance
that had kept him dreaming of a girl
still as a girl for well, long past her
girlhood. , 5i
So, in the end, he married his . first
love, having fallen in love with her the
second time. So two hearts, once set
aside as broken, were very credibly
patched for further use. Philadelphia

Fads In Wrapping Paper.
More and more is the esthetic cre?p
ing into trade. It has even extended
to wrapping paper. In this respect
the druggists are the leaders, as the
purchases at pharmacies are not bulky.
and the proprietors can afford to be
artistic in small details. The druggist
who wraps up a small parcel or bottle
in white paper and ties it with a red
string is behind the times. The up-to-date
pharmacist pays almost as much
attention to getting attractive wrap
ping paper as li3 docs to the purity of
his drugs. :
"I have adopted this soft, dull-tinted
unglazed gray as my shop color," said
one druggist. "It is distinctive and
nets as a sort of advertisement for
me, for customers become acquainted
with it. For tying I use nothing but
this orange cord. I have not noticed
a marked increase of custom from my
efforts to make the bundles things of
beauty, but I am convinced it will pay.
Naturally we feel we .'are doing aigreat
educational work when we turn a bot

Frotrs in Sandstone.
While excavating for a basement un
der a store building at Muskegon,
Mich., workmen unearthed three live
frogs in the sandstone eighty feet be
low the surface. The soil in which
the frogs were found is a mixture of
hard, dry sand and rock, and it is cer
tain the frogs have been buried at least
thirty years. The spot on .which the
building stands was at one time the
shore line of the Muskegon Lake, but
as the city grew the edge was filled -in
until now the water's edge is nearly
COO yards from the building, and a
brick paved street now runs -where
thirty years ago the' lake's waters
rolled. All three frogs hopped about
after they had been exposed to the
sun for a few minutes. All three were
entirely blind. The frogs were green
black in color and their skin was tough
and corrugated. Chicago Inter-Ocean.

New Delaval yesterday, for girl's and
