The rival'eautie laid their hanls On "Planchefto's" stiAbordl heart, Querying silently tile flifle Witb faces held apart. "Which does he love, tell we, Planchet t e?" Fair Lily softly said. '-Whioh does he love?" said queenly Rose, Bending her haughty head. The white henj ti-ff#f8ed like a dove, The brown one fashed its ring, And still the pencil wrote no word, Dragged, lilfe a sullen thing. Whille quiet tansy, looking on, Waltet its pranks to see: Foldittg Hder secret in her heart, Softlf dftd Ailently. "Come hIiflier ansy." Like a dove A small inud trembling fell, When like a ialrd, uncanny thing, The board obeyed her 9611.

She has fled Through (he open doort She saw the question in his eye, And needs to know no more.
