GOD S MIRACLE OF MAY.
There came a message to the vine,
A whisper to the tree.
The bluebird saw the secret sign
And merrily sang he !
Ami like a silver string the brook
Trembled with music sweet—
Enchanting notes in every nook
For echo to repeat.
A magic touch transformed the fields,
Greener each hour they grew,
t’ntil they shone like burnished shields
All jeweled o’er with dew.
Scattered upon the forest floor
A million bits of bloom
Breathed fragrance forth thro’ morning’s
door
Into the day’s bright room.
Then bud by bud the vine confessed
The secret it had heard,
And in the leaves the azure-breast
Sang the delightful word;
Glad flowers upsprang amid the grass
And flung their banners gay,
And suddenly it came to pass—
God’s miracle of May !

“Hello, I’liii, digging away at the
oid farm yet?"
The speaker,
leaning languidly
against the top rail of the fence, held
a cigarette in the most approved style
between Ills two forefingers, and occa­
sionally puffed slowly at it.
1*1111 Dryden looked up from his
planting and responded : “Why, Ed, Is
that you? When did you come down?”
"Ran down last night on the early
train. Taking a few days’ vacation and
thought I'd like to see the old place"
Phil glanced rather enviously at the
well dressed smoker, and then dropped
his eyes a little shamefacedly to bls
own coarse, ill-titling mid faded clothes.
“Why do you stay down here, Phil,
and use yourself up on this old farm?”
Ed Spencer continued, "I should think
you’ll go to the city and get a better
job. If you 1 ite farming as I always
did, you would."
Phil’s face Hushed a trifle. The con­
trast between his appearance and that
of his old school friend made him un­
easy.
"I have thought of It several times."
he replied slowly, "but there’s -o much
to do here, and then------"
"Oh. shucks! Ypu hale to make the
plunge. So did 1. But after the first
break It’s all so much better. Clean

"I suppose tile work is plea- •uter."
Phil stammered, "and tin

I'll bet you haven't seen as
uiiK'li money as this in n ji-.ir.
Producing n roll of bills, the speaker
flipped them carelessly through his fin­
gers. exposing, to view several of high
denominations.
"That’s what you get in the city,” he
continued. "It's cash—every week or
month."
Phil said nothing, but his mind was
feverishly active. Suddenly lie asked
anxiously : “I suppose it's hard to get
a good position at first, isn't it?"
"Yes, mid no. If you have influence
It’s dead easy; If you don't you have to
hunt around n bit."
Ed Spencer flung as»ay his cigarette,
and added confidentially:
"If you iv thinking of making the
change, let me know. I may help yon.
I know the roja-s a little. Just send me
word when you've made up your mind."
Phil kicked a lump of earth with the
toe of his shoe. Ed seemed to compre­
hend the state of his mind, and asked,
smilingly: “How are crops, anyway—
slow as ever?"
A flash of resentment appeared in
Phil's eyes, for lie knew the question
was asked in well-bred derision.
“Oh. they're pretty good,” Phil replied
with some dignity. "1'11 harvest a good
cron this season if------”
“If potato bugs don't eat up every­
thing. and cabbage worms don't finish
what's left." laughed Ed, as he turned
to leave. "Well. I must be going. I
want to see the old place, and get back
to the city soon's 1 can. It's pretty
alow here.”
He consulted a handsome gold watch
whictl hung at the end of a gold chain.
“Remember me to Bess." he called
aver his shoulder. “I suppose she's
well.”
When the two separated, Phil Dryden
picked up bis hoe and stood for several
minutes staring at the retreating form.
Contending emotions possessed him.
The old rebellious spirit rose up to
niake his thought bitter and disquiet­
ing.
Life on the farm was a drudgery, he
thought, and a dozen times he secretly
longed to leave it behind to begin work
lnlhe city. The opportunity had never
ta>en presented quite so forcibly as to­
day. and he felt that the decisive mo­
ment liad come.
“1’11 do It," he firmly muttered after
the space of five minutes of silent
thought. ”1'11 do It now. Uncle Ned
can get along without me. He can hire
someone else In my place. I’ve delayed
too long already.”
Thereafter the planting progressed
slowly. Phil’s mind was not on his
work and several times he bad to go
over his hoeing to repair,damages care­
lessly done.
It was late in the afternoon, and Phil
cut the day's work short by an hour.
As he trudged up to the old farm house,
his face was brightened by the thoughts
of his newly formed plans.
.
“Hello, Bess!” he called, as a slim
girl of Hi met |*im.
"You’re back early, Phil," Bess re­
plied. "You can't exiiect supper yet a
while. Why, the sun Is an hour high."
"Oh. I’m not after supper," the boy
refunded. "I've made up my miml to
quit for good. Bess, I'm going to the
city.”
Ills sister stared at him In amaze­
ment for a moment. Phil continued In
explanation of his sudden announce­
ment: “I’m going to get a position in
the city, and leave the farm for good.
I've just had a talk with Ed Silencer,
and he says lie cau get me a position
when I want It.”
"Ed Spencer? Is he home again?”
asked Bess.
"Only for a few days. He can't stand
It here much longer than a few days
at a time. It’s so slow. 1 don't blame
him, either, for it Is slow—terribly slow
and dull."
The boy removed his bat and wiped
his forehead.
"But, Phil, If you go to the city, what
will become of me?" queried his sister
in a weak voice.
"You? Wliy, can't you stay here with
Aunt Matty and Unde Nisi?" There
was genuine surprise In the taiy's voice,
and this was increased when he saw
that Bess had turned a shade paler
than usual.
“Oh. yes. 1 supjajse I could stay,”
was the quiet answer, “but did it ever
occur to you that I might be lonely—
and—and
”
There was a suspicious weakness In
the voice, and when it grew husky, the
girl stopped and turned her face away.
"MHiy, Bess, I don't see—why. In
time I’ll take you to the city, too. I'd
get a good position, and work In it.
and then we'd live there together.”
"Yes, but how many years would I
have to wait?" resentfully replied the
girl. "Do you think Ed Spencer could
support his sister? And If he could,
why doesn't he? I'm sure she has a
hard enough time to pinch along.”
"But—” began Phil In self-extenua­
tion—"I'm not like Ed in some respects,
u nd
"
“No. and I’m thankful you’re not,"
interrupted Bess.
A glow of pride made Phil quiet and
more thoughtful. He remembered now
“I' ve delayed too long already .”
that Ed's sister worked hard at dress­
making, besides her ilutles .on the farm,
to make both ends meet, tn n dim way
he seemed to remember several of Ed's
selfish ways when they were school
companions, and he admitted that lie
did not treat Ills sister liberally. The
fiasli of the roll of bills appeared before
his mind, and he wondered if Ed would
present Ills hard-working sister with
some of the money. Probably they were
nil for her—a birthday present, per-
.haps. for Mandy was III that month.
"Oh, Ed lias his bad points." he re­
plied* "and so has every fellow. But
lie's doing well In the city, and I don’t
see why 1 shouldn’t do as well. I was
always smarter lu my studios than
Ed.”
"Yes, and in everything else,” loyally
responded Bess.
"Then why shouldn't I go to the city
and make something of myself? I can
never do it here.”
“Phil, I don’t think you would do
much better," protested Bess. "In a
few years now you—we—will have the
farm to ourselves. Uncle Ned and Aunt
Matty must turn It over to us then—
they only hold ft In trust until you be­
come of age, you know—and they'll be
glad to get rid of the responsibility.
Then we can----- ”
Phil kicked viciously at a stone. Tills
sort of argument did not please him.
"But. Bess, there's no money In farm­
ing.” he interrupted. “Uncle Ned says
that, and everybody else. What's the
use of killing yourself on the farm for
nothing?”
“But what would you do with It?”
gasped Bess in surprise.
“Oh, sell It, or—or let Uncle Ned
run it until I become of age. Then—”
a new light shone In his eyes—“then
the money will start me In business
I'll have the ex[>erlenoe, and—and
”
"Oh, Phil,” exclaimed Bess In a pain­
ed voice, "bow could you sell It?”
"Why not?" stubbornly asked Phil.
Boss did not reply. If he could not
understand the sacredness of tile asso­
ciations that clustered about the ol.l
homestead, she could not make him.
She turned abruptly and walked away,
but not until Phil saw a tear glistening
In her eyes.
-“Girls are so funny ami—and—un­

marked aloud.
Phil was strongly minded and deter­

years now he had Geon steadily drift­
