Have you forgotten w here we stood,
Between the lights, that night of spring,
The river rolling to Ihe flood,
So sad the birds, they dared not slngt
No love wns ever dream 'd like this,
Beneath the shadows of the park,
Beneath n whisper and a kiss,
Between the daylight and the dark.
There had been trouble this was rest ;
There had been passion this was peace ;
The sunset dying in Ihe west,
Made Nature sigh and whisper cease.
I only felt what I had found,
You only knew what I would sny ;
But nothing broke the peace profound ;
Between the darkness and Ihe day.
How will It end ? I cannot tell ;
I asked It many months ago,
Ruforc the leaves of autumn fell
And changed to wlnler's waste of snow.
Yet we stand watching at the gate
Of summer lime for promise hark I
No, love, 'tis nothing ! We must wait
Between the daylight ami the dark.

Scarcely had it mndo its spectral exit when
another cloud, almost identical in size mid

first was seen. This cloud can be likened to

loon with the neck enormously elongated and
twiste ! about. The color wns reddish yellow,
distinctly relieving it ugalnst the darker back

skies moved directly toward the city, not very
fast apparently, but sprlnirintf up and down In
an uncanny dance. As It came nearer one

It will be seen from the above that Mrs.
