MY TRUST. A tong was born In my heart one day: But warm and sweet on my lips there lay A baby mouth, so dear, so dear, I could not wish It away; And the sons was lost In the void again. The song that had stirred the souls of men. In the deeps of their despair, A thought as sweet as the sumrrn r rain, a*St for the weary—heart’s ease tor pain. From God’s own heart sought out my owrn. And fain would I share Its gain. But little hards clur.g to me all day long; At night, though Us blessing had made me strong. The while-winged dove had flown. And w hat was the loss, and what fh* galnT Long years passed—ln a nohh r strain My song was sung—lh* listening world Was hushed at Its glad refrain. And Into a matchless word was wrought The halm and blessing of my lost thought— My dove with Its pinions furled. The dear God knoweth His time best; His deep love searcheth the world's un rest; He chooseth aright—the seed Is sown. And safe In its own place pressed. By whom, w hat matti r? Full w< II I know, My baby's touch and the sweet Ups' glow God gave to my trust aloro —Rebecca Ltnley Tripp, in Youth's Com panion. In ttie Painted Woods (Copjrttflit. 1 -01, Author* Hyndlc*tft.> YOUNG MASON, wv lay on tbe. couch in the portico, ground bis teeth, it was about the only tiling that he could do. and cur-ed the road, the horac, the accident that held him a prisoner in this den-' wilderne; aj pnaoner' bandaged and shorn of hist, strength. As the days passed his evil star \ rose slowly to tile zenith. The per fume of the vanished summer was in the fern-bed that grew knee-deep be yond the porch; the maple branches | glowed red as rubies; the beech trees illumined the woods, and from behind a fallen log near by a Bob White <nt his clear, exultant call. He clinched his bands and groaned. To be free once more! To walk through the sweet-scented fern, gun cocked, eye alerts—since the tin* of the Pharaoh it seemed, lie had b -en chained to the cot. His evil star, that had reached the zenith, dropped suddenly below the horizon and the atmosphere was flood ed with light of a cel'-stinl, rosy hue.

He had heard of her social triumphs —her beauty; h" had heard that men raved over her, although they said she had no soul, and in this sweet, friend ly way she had come to him in hi hour of need. After that afternoon there was al ways a look of expectancy In young Mason’s eye turned toward the bril liant forest. IP blessed the accident that held him a willing prisoner. The cushions on which he was propped were her*, the hook were her*. She came each afternoon. She laughed with him. talked to him, read to him, sang s.veef old-fashioned songs w hile the sun. blood red, dropped behind the mountain side, and his boy heart swelled.

There were other fancies too beautiful fancies. One afternoon he watched for her hi* brow- knotted with a puzzled frown. He held an unopened lettei addressed to her; a -errant had fount ft In a lot of old rubbish. He remembered ‘hat >he had bcei one of the gay party that camped it the old farmhouse two summers bt fore—if was then -he had known hi sister, and Hoyd had been of the party Boyd was some ten years the si nlot of young Mn“-on. and he was cratifli and honored by the older man’s friend ship. There was a letter in his pork' I that torfl him Uoyd was coming to share the tedium of his convali cenee would be then* that vert ni/ht. in fcmt, and the bold, firm handwriting was the a:ne a* that on the girl's letter, When the princess came up the steps young Mason put the letter under hi* pillow, and a sinldi n seme of pending calamity possessed him. For a little while he would listen to her voice, have her smile on him, and watch the ges ture* of her hands with their odd. for eign-looking ring*. The night would bring Boyd. And afterwards? Ilia mind didn’t go any further. They touched on many subjects ami he brought the conversation around to the mountain-party that hud met under the shadow of the great hill* two summers before. “Have you seen Boyd sine* Id* re. turn from the westV" he asked, ab ruptly. “No.” said the princes*. "He ha* found other interests since he went w est and has dropped the old friends but I can scarcely claim so much.” There was an odd little chill In her voice. “Ob." with a breath of relief, *T thought I thought ” The princess threw back her bead defiantly and looked at him through half-closed lids. “One's friends ate so good.” she said. 'They think for them and thus simplify life.” She laughed— S laugh that held no hear', or much. “I was right, then," His Ups trem- bird in a way that wonld have gone to her heart if she had loved him. He drew the letter from under the pillow and handed it to her silently. He seemed not to see the color, a warm, v otis wave, that swept hr face and •11 it still and white. When she had read the letter she i<ed not at him, but at the -noun , n in front of them purple with the ; i>et mists. "( orrinne," he said, softly. She turned, a strange light, perhaps e reflection of the dying day, on her "Princess, ’* he said, brokenly. She stooped and kissed his brow, lack, you dear boy.” she said, ‘‘l ink you." She had not questioned possession of the letter. “Foolish v,” her voice was low and tender, 'ip trusted our happiness to a letter, loved me! It can’t help things now ut to know!” 'he bent and looked into the boy’s with eyes that held no thought ? him. “Jack, dear.” she said, “I’ve • to speak I I’ve stifled it so long— so skillfully got up my smile to the world!

"You i ay realize with a shock, after your •i; -t meeting with her. that you have tut raged the conventions and bared tour soul to a woman that you never i ird of before, but there’s a splendid hamelessness about it.” In her smile there was the sweetness that hud been hi' Waterloo, lln hand closed over Bins v. as m,i, tenijehnkss his.

Those were politic as well as wise 'men who daringly started that early road, even before New York and Chi cago were connected by rail. They ! knew that without the friendship of tin 1 Indians the task would be almost iinpo-silde, and they began by treat ing the Indians well and keeping their word with them the only “Indian pol icy" necessary and the only one which has ever succeeded.
