He read the beginning in rapture, and only toward the last did he discover the proximity of the imminent, deadly breach: Press me closer, all my own; Warms my heart for thee alone. Every nerve responsive thrills, Each caress my being fills. Rest and peace in vain I crave, In ecstasy I live, thy slave. Dower'd with hope, with promise blest, Thou dost reign upon my breast. Closer still, for | am thine, Burns my heart, for thou art mine, Thou the message, I the wire— I the furnace, thou the fire— I the servant, thou the master— Roaring, red-hot mustard plaster. —Green Bay Advocate. “CaN you tell me, Professor, if this amber jewelry is genuine?" “Oh, that's easily determined.

By this time the hired man had brought the rifle, and Mr, Frankfort made sure that he had a good supply of ammunition for the weapon. ‘My dear,” begged his wife, ‘‘ won't you tell me what all this means? You say you are not going hunting. What do you need of all these weapons?” “My darling,” replied the brave man, ‘‘do not be anxious. It is more than probable that I shall return alive, but if not, you will find my will made and my life insurance policy is valid.
