I. When that I loved a maiden My heaven was in her eyes, And when they bent above me I knew no deeper skies: But when her heart forsook me, My spirit broke its bars. For grief bevond the sunset And love beyond the stars. When that I loved a maiden She seemed the world to me; Now is my soul in the universe My dreams?the sky and sea! There is no heaven above me, No glory binds or bars My grief beyond the sunset, My love beyond the stars. Wrhen that I loved a maiden I worshiped where she trod; But when she clove my heart, the cleft Set free the imprisoned God; i Then was I king of all the world, I My soul had burst its bars , For grief beyond the sunset And love beyond the stars. ?Alfred Noyes, in Everybody's. A4A4AAAA444AA4A444444A4A44 { vi "" . : Miss Dane, : fStenographer! ~L . . John Dunham, millionaire capitalist and bachelor, aged thirty-five, swung around sharply in his swivel chair. "What on earth can be +.ho matter with Jim this morning?" he asked, half nlnnri * As if in answer to his question, 11 the phone bell rang shrilly. A moment later he hung up the receiver 1 I with a bang. | "Confound it!" he muttered, "it never rains but it pours. Here I've 8 got to take that deposition this morning, and Jim had to get sick. Well," \ he continued, swinging back to his ] desk again, "I've just got to get it 2 * out to-day, so I'll have to hunt a stenographer for the time being," J and, reaching for the telephone di- 1 rectory he started to look for a public stenographer near at hand. "Why under the sun didn't I think * of her before?" he asked, as his eye 1 lighted upon the legend: ^ "Dane, Miss, public stenographer 1 p and typewriter." 1 "She's right on the floor below. I've seten her sign coming up in the lift." Hurrying out of his office, he signaled the elevator. In a moment * he was standing before a door on wrhl/Oi fVio loftorinp' road* "Miss Dane, public stenographer." j As he caught a glimpse of the pub- g 3lc stenographer he started just a ^ ilittle. He had expected to see a staid t woman of at least fhirty or thirty- j five years, but the girl bending over a the typewriter could not possibly be f more than twenty-two at the most. e A shade of disappointment passed over his face?his experience with t k young women stenographers had been t unsatisfactory. But his countenance v cleared a little as he noted the ^apa- g ble lines around the mouth and the rather steady gaze in the eyes of r * the sweet-faced girl before him. She looked at him calmly, waiting for him to state his business. j "Miss Dane, I presume," he said, in j his most business-like tones, and in response to a low "Yes, sir," he con- t tinued: "My stenographer is sick J A. ~ * /V rl r\ ir * CLUU 1 111 lib L IUAC a ucpuoiuuu lU-UttJ without fail. If you are not other: wise engaged I would like your services for the balance of the day." "What I was doing can wait," she . answered, in calm, even tones. "How long do you think it will run?" she continued, with her hand upon a bundle of notebooks. "Better take plenty," answered John Dunham, and the girl dropped a half-dozen into a green bag. "How soon will you want me?" she inquired. "I'll telephone for my car immediately," he replied. "It will be here in half an hour. XVill that be too soon?" "Not at all! I am ready to start at any moment," she returned, and | leaving the room Dunham made his way to his own office. i In a short time the car arrived, and I Dunham ushered Miss Dane into the -elevator and through the corridor. Then, handing her into the tonneau, 1 he gave some directions to the chSuf- f feur and jumped in beside her. In J an instant they were whizzing merri- ' ly through the crowded thorough- ^ lares. ? * Meanwhile John Dunham painstak- ( ingly explained the nature of the business tc the girl beside him. The ' ordeal was not a trying one, either, 1 for what man cannot talk with pleas- * ure when a sweet-faced woman pays strict attention to what he is saying? ? The day wore on and the work was * finished. When it was transcribed Dunham was exceedingly pleased * with its style and neatness. He told * Miss Dane so. Also, he offered to ( Tecommend her to his business friends, and the influence of John 1 Dunham was no mean thing: so the 1 business of Miss Dane grew apace. It was astonishing, too, how much * Dunham's need for extra help increased. James Horton, Dunham's private 1 stenographer, was back at his post the next day, and the office routine went on for a time as usual. But when it became necessary for Dun- 1 xiaixi tu laite a. sieuugrapuer iu >an ous places with him, instead of tak. ing Horton, a3 formerly, he would i give him an extra amount of work to * do just before the trip was to be 1 made, and request Miss Dane to ac- < company him. 1 For a young man. James Horton 1 "had a rather good insight into human < nature. /Often, too. his gaze was re- 1 warded by seeing Dunham and Miss < Dane drive off in the car; and then, l with a rather enigmatical smile on t his face, he would go back to his ( work. Later in the day, when his J employer returned in high humor t and would tell him of some deal that 1 was about to be consummated, he 1 would chuckle softly to himself. < But the automoDue trips am not i stop there. John Dunham, rather I shyly, too, for a man o? such large < business affairs, had asked if he 1 might be allowed to call. Receiving an affirmative answer, he availed r himself of it the next evening. ; Thereafter he became a constant vis- 1 itor at the little home on Northwest ] street, and at least once a week Miss Dane and her mother were treated tt a spin through the park or out into the country. The Dane home was one of refinement and culture. Before the death of Mr. Dane, the family had been in easy circumstances. After his death, some of the seemingly gilt-edge investments had turned out to be worthless, and the family had been reduced, not to poverty, but to very modest circumstances. Dunham was made welcome here, not because of his money, nor yet of his position, but because of his true worth. He appreciated his welcome, too. For jvsars he had been living alone in his bachelor apartments, and the l-niinVi of rpnl hfimpllfft with which vuv'1* Vk ' I tie came in contact in the Dane home j was rather pleasing, indeed. It was one of these automobile trips, when the mother had stayed tiome on account of a severe headiche, that the now prosperous stenjgrapher spoke thus to John Dunlam in low tones, so that the chauffeur might not hear: "Mr. Dunham, I can't begin to :hank you for your kindness to me n my business. On the day you first ;ave me work I had almost given up n despair. When you came into my >ffice I was merely typewriting exerlises I had had at school so that I night appear to be busy; and at the same time I was wondering how nuch longer I could afford to pay ofice rent and do no work. Now, ;hanks to your kindness, I have to :mploy a girl to help me." "You need not thank me, Miss Dane," he replied. "If you had not lad ability, no one would have em)loyed you the second time." "That may be true," she answered, 'but you helped them to find out my iiHiuy. Then John Dunham did what some nay call a rash thing. You may udge fdr yourself. He leaned ovei ind whispered: "Don't you get tired of being dieated to, darling? How would you ike to dictate to me for life?" For a moment she sat very still. Dunham could feel her hand tremble n his. Then she seemed to brace lerself, and, with just a little quaver n her voice, "I believe I'd like it ight well, John," she murmured.? sew Orleans Picayune. GREAT CANADIAN GLACIER. formation of Ice Archway an Annual Phenomenon. Eight thousand and four feet of ice ligh is the Yoho glacier of Canada. >ince the first discovery of this largist of Canada's glaciers it has mainained a grand archway of ice at its ower extremity. The span of this trch is no less than 250 feet, while rom beneath the arch the drainage (scapes. , The formation of the arch seems to >e an annual phenomenon. Toward he close of the summer it becomes weakened by melting and the whole structure conapses. me ice grtiuu- j illy Is broken up and finally renoved, and the formation of a new trchway is commenced. From the archway issues the Yoho iiver. It is calculated that an avaanche must have occurred in 1850 ir 1860. Since then the retreat of he glacier has been at the average ate of five to six feet a year. From August, 1901, to August, 1904, it was ound that the retreat had been 111 eet, or thirty-seven feet a year. Beween August, 1904, and August, L905, the glacier receded but nine eet, and it is now thought to be :hecked. About the nose of the glacier thete j s evidence of a bodily disruption of I he rock strata, to which the term 'plucking" is applied. Rock layers ire ripped off where the layers are ;hin tedded and pointed, and the fragments are pressed into the ice o assist in further work. The Yoho glacier is an almost if ict entirely isolated example of a . jlacier as a great engine of rosion. \ )ther glaciers move forward and are I ?ngines of transportation.?Chicago I rribune. Co rot and His Poor Tenant. Corot, the famous French painter, j lad a generous heart and a whimsical wit. Corot and his sister were oint owners, according to the London jlobe, of some house property iu Paris. One day one of the tenants? i tailor?came to Corot and said he :ould not pay his rent. "What can I do for you?" asked 2orot. "I cannot intercede for you with my sister, because I'm not on ;ood terms with her." As a matter of fact, .the great * irtist was regarded as a "failure" by j lis family. "However,n he added, after a ! ;houghtful pause, "here's the money :o pay the rent; only don't let any >ne know I have given it to you." The tailor after that used to return ! periodically when his rent was due ind obtain the money from Corot. "I appear to be very gemerous," he artist remarked on one occasion, "but I am not, because I get half of it :>ack from my sister as my share of he rent." Ancients Loved Oysters.
