Sow thou thy seed of corn and wait awhile. See the snow falling and the ice spray fclcam Above its hiding place. Hear the wind scream And the wild tempest sweep o'er mile and mile Of sullen landscape. Watch the raincloud's vial Empty above it, and the fitful beam ' Of sunlight thwart the field until a seam Of tender green shoot up to greet thy smile. And, lol sUod's miracle is wrought once more Of lite from death from loss, most wondrous gain; The cornfield glitters with Its golden store On the same land where late the storm and rain Beat on the bare, brown earth, ihy sowing o'er, Thine but to wait and pray lest faith should wanel low thou thy seod of love, 0 heart, and wait! Though it lie bidden, though thy doubts and lean Whisper to thee 'tis lost and tty sad tears Fall on the icebound soil of bitter fate, Surely the seed will live; spring sets tne gate Of life wide open. See, though hid lor years, Love seeks the light of lovel Its tender spears Shall gladden thy sad eyes at last, though late, E'en but the blade perchance and not the bloom. Otttiraea Ood teeth that love's flower rare hath no perfection this side of the tomb. But needeth lor its growth the purer air Of his sweet paradise; after earth's gloom Love hath its blossoming, not here, but there! Kate llellersh in Chambers' Journal. .

To give away money was so new a sensation that be felt justified In prolonging It not Imt that be could amply afford to give the sum he bad fixed upon; It was the principle of tho thing that held him Irresolute. He was worth close to $&),000. There was a memorandum slip in the upper right hand drawer that showed this total In round figures. He could have told the amount within a dollar or two. It was a gilt edged property stocks, mortgages, cash and a little real es tate. "If I was sold out tomorrow," said Obed, smiling grimly, "it would bring every penny that I've totaled it at." He had won this comfortable prop erty by shrewdness rather than hard work. For more than 20 years he had bought mortgages and loaned money and snapped up unconsidered finan cial trifles In that same old office. He slept In the rooms above It, and some times for days together he didn't leave the building. There had been few episodes to enliven the dullness of this money grubbing life, but tomorrow one of them was to take place. To morrow, his son, his only child, was to bo married. Instinctively his eyes turned to the portrait above bis desk the portrait of a brown haired young woman, with smiling eyes and slightly parted lips. As ho looked upon the gentle face he felt a little tightening about the heart. Dead four and twenty years. Their son was four and twenty, and he mar ried tomorrow. Their son. Had he done his duty by their son? He thought so. He had certainly given him a good schooling. The boy had gone through college with credit to himself and his father and had helped to pay his way too. Oued had wanted him to study law, but he had a love for chemistry and, In company with a fellow student, had set up an office of his own. They started In as consult ing chemists and assayers and were from all Obed could learn building up a fairly remunerative business. He was certainly a good boy, though per haps a littlo lacking In that respect for his father which begets confidence. It seemed but a day or two ago that he bad come to him and said: "Father, I am going to marry." It was like a blow to Obed. "Well, well," he presently said In his testy way, "since It's all settled, why do you come to me?" "Because I think you should know about It," said Arthur stoutly. "You didn't think to consult me be fore you took this step," said the old man grimly. "You couldn't expect that, father," said the son. "I I am no longer a boy. Besides, you can't help but ap prove of her. She's the dearest girl. Her name Is Alma Truman, and her fa ther Is chief accountant with Fancher & Co. She's the eldest of six, and they're awfully broken up at the Idea of her going. That's the kind of girl to marry, father the kind that is miss ed at home. But you must see her." "How do you expect to support her?" inquired Obed dryly. "With these two hands and the ex cellent education you have given me," replkd Arthur. The boy had taken him around to the Trumans' house one evening, but there were so many Trumans, and It was only a short 'call, and he had scarcely caught a glimpse of the girl. And now the boy was going to marry and leave him, he felt, forever. Their boyl nad he always remem- bered that Arthur was their boy? Would things have been different if she had lived? Would he himself have become the dry, old, money making machine he was? God only knew. How happy they had been that brief, year. Uow ambitious he was for her ake, How ha tolled and planned.. And be remembered how she would. come to him and lay her soft, cool hands on his and draw the pen away and turn him round In his chair and command him to rest. Was she smil ing down on him now as she had smil ed down upon him then and as she al most seemed to smile upon him from the lifeless canvas? . Four and twenty years, and here he sat, an old man, preparing a wedding gift for their son who was to be mar ried tomorrow. A gift for their son! Yes, yes. It was a custom foolish per haps. He would give him a check for $100. It was a tidy sum and pretty nearly as much cusb as the boy's fa ther had when he married. A hundred dollars! Surely a liberal gift for for their boy. Their boy! -. He bent forward suddenly and dip ped his pen in the Ink. It was strange how dim the lines on the check seem eu. He wrote the date. Four and twenty years ago. v hy, the room seemed full of her! Was she leaning over his shoulder again? He slowly made the figure "1" and the two cl puers. Their boy! Was that the touch of her soft, cool hands on his? Was was she guiding bis pen? The lines were dim Indeed as he slowly wrote. Then he paused and stared down at his work and carefully added bis sig nature. He dropped back In his chair and brushed his hand across his eyes and for a moment was very still. When he looked up again at the portrait, he smiled. Then he briskly tore out the check, pushed back the book, shut down the desk and, seizing his hat, was off. Ten minutes later he confronted the serious faced teller of the Sixtli Na tional and thrust the chuck at liim across his plate glass shelf. "Certify that, please," he said in liis crisp way. The teller picked up the slip of pa per in his preoccupied manner and glanced at it. Then his face suddenly beamed. "' Why, that's fine!" ho cried aud cer tified it In a hurry. Obed said nothing. It was a quiet little home wedding. Only the relatives were present, but there was such a lot of them on the Truman side. It was a nice wedding If it was quiet. The house was beau tified with flowers and vines and rib-' bous under the supervision of the sis ter who was in the school of art, aud everybody looked quite happy, Includ ing the younger Trumans, who were bearing up bravely. Arthur took his father with him to the house and then left him In the hall In charge of an usher. "There is usually, I think," said Obed to the usher, "a place set aside for the gifts to the the happy pair. Am I right?" "You are," said the smiling usher. "This way." And he led him up stairs to the little room where the modest gifts were displayed. Fortunately for Obed there was nobody in the apart ment at the moment, and when the usher's back was turned he slipped the check from his pocket and laid it un der the edge of a plaque on the table. Then he softly stole down stairs. After the ceremony lie came slowly forward, following the others who had offered their congratulations, and took his sou's hand aud pressed it warmly. Then he turned to his new daughter, surprised at a look that passed be tween the happy pair aud wondering what it meant. "Father Jarrett," said Alma as she raised her face ami the old man quite without forethought stooped and kiss ed her; "Father Jarrett, you know that nobody can refuse a bride's re quest. Aud Arthur nnd I want you to promise to come and live with us Just as soon as we are settled in our flat." "No, no!" said the astonished Obed. "I I should be lu your .way." "That's no answer," said Alma. "Say at least that you will come aud try it." The old man hesitated. She certain ly was a dear girl. "I will promise to try it," he smil ingly said, and somehow his heart felt lighter than it had for many years. "And to think," he muttered to him self as he stepped back, "that she In vited me without knowing a blessed th.ng about that check!" A few moments later his son called to him. "Father," he said, "come up with us and look at the presents. It's a good time. Everybody is busy talking, and Alma wants you to see how nice and kind her friends have been." So they went up to the little room, and there Alma began her rapid his tory of the gifts and their donors. Suddenly they were Interrupted by a cry from Arthur. He had discovered the check. "What's this!" he stammered. "Fay to the order of Arthur Jarrett $10,000? Why, father!" Somehow the boy's note of profound surprise Jarred a little on the father's heart. "Oh, oh! Xow we ran have a home of our own!" cried the delighted girl, who was looking over Arthur's shoul der. "But you know. Father Jarrett, that you would have been just as wel come at the flat." "Yes, yes. I know." he answered. Then he added a little brokenly: "1 want to be perfectly honest about this money. One hundred dollars Is from me and the rest fiimi Arthur's moth er." They looked at him wouderinglv, and he turned suddenly away. When he looked around, he said with his grim old smile: "Slip it in your , pocket, my boy. The money will be. there when you get back." But after Alma and Arthur had started on their two weeks' wedding Journey and the old man was walking back to his lonely rooms he suddenly straightened up aud said to himself half aloud: It will only be two weeks."
