There wan a poet born whii had deep In his heart a Bong; He sprang from the soil-ho plowed the fields in spring; liut he conned the songs of the ancient bards he studied well and Iour, And ever he sang to himself the song that God gave him to sing! And he loved the mother who bore, him, and as they toiled away ' 1 v He thought of the joy she would have to hear him sing his song some day. In secret moments of the night his heaven-( ly song He wrote Letter by letter, word by word, and, likewise, line by )ine; j. And he sang it unto th$ beasts of the field; he caught the soiig bird's note And held it fast, and in his eyes was the light that is divine ; ... The song that he had been given to sing he poured from his. heart, and then He ran to sing it to her whose love sur passed the praise of men, ' ' ... He sang the song the song sublime that had burst from the .depths of his heart; She dumbly heard Jilm sing until the last note died away; - "Ah, but," she sadly sighed, " 'twill bring you nothing in the mart, For men have little gold to give In trade for songs to-day!" . , He gazed into her face and saw but cold, sharp wrinkles therV- His song became a sob he turned, and plowed on iq despair,' .

Ralph Thorndyke was possessed of a ureumy, poetic nature, far beyond the ordinary. He owned a pretty photo graphic studio, and his business was congenial to his artistic temperament; there was so much lu It to cultivate love of the beautiful He had reached tlae age of 27, "heart whole and fancy free," or apparently bo to his friends. To-day Is his birth. day, and he Is thinking Intently of a realistic dream of the night Just passed. Just a year ago a vision came to him; a face not beautiful, but strong and earnest and sweet. She appeared to him in a portrait which he seemed to be looking at. The little brown hair was in natural waves over a smooth fore head, and the calm, steadfast eyes were of a deeper hue. Now, a year later, the same face had again appeared, and Italph Is thinking of the messuge that came to him. "Pa tience, one more year, and 1 will come to you." He finally awoke from his reverie and started for his studio; on the way he picked up a package from the sidewalk. Soon reaching his cozy little office, he opened It, to find two photographs by Barony In a folding raine; one was a draped figure, the 'it band raised to the foreheadMhe 'voflle, the other, ahltne same ''n eyes which haunted hihi '"he brown bull', with golduu '"h lights; the fair com ' Into a wild rose cheek.

She Mushed then turned pale, and her eyes met Ralph's with something like recognition. Mrs. Clareniont saw' .that tere4.w.assome thlng in the afr and retired gracefully from the' office with a remark about some errand that must be attended to immediately. --TVif .M? . Ralph advanced toward Marion, and; taking her; hand, said: "I was the for tunate finder of your photos and have had this portrait for, iny dajly cpnipan ion a year;.' May.X hope 'In the future to possess the original? We have, , in reality .'known each other two years and need not measure time , in the cop: Ventional way;' I feel 'that I ' pofesess your'soul's mate.

What could it 'be?;, Did her soul leave its earthly surroundings 1ft seek its mate? She believes that it did; and found it, too.

The pilot was the most puzzled and - astonished person of all. He soon got another vessel, and this one he ran In j sucn an erratic manner tnat he was compelled to give her up and his use fulness as a pilot was gone. He and others went to investigating to see if they could discover what was wrong with his seamanship. After a while they discovered what they believed was the trouble. In the pilot's artificial leg a great deal of steel had been used lu the Joints and other places. Sitting close to the binnacle, as he did whllo steering, this steel deranged the com pass so that it threw the wheelman way off his reckoning and led to the wrong piloting that had wrecked the Susan E. Peck and endangered the oth er vessel that the wheelman navigated subsequently. This was what they ar gued, and to demonstrate the correct ness of the theory the pilot took charge of a vessel without wearing his false leg. Everything worked to a charm, The mystery of the Susan E. Peck M-as solved and the pilot was restored to his old place In the confidence of Lake Erie skippers and vessel owners."
