THE DAY OF LIFE.
DAWN.
Lad and lnssle ns brown us berries,
Romping snyly timid the clover,
iLIps as red as the juice of cherries
With childish laughter rippling over;
Bright eyes telling of guileless pleasure,
Feet ns light as a wind-blown feather
IKecplng tlmo to a merry measure,
Sharing the dawn of life together.
NOON.
-Man pid maiden with nmplo graces,
Arm in nrm through the garden strolling,
Xovo Is tinting their blushing fnces,
Wave of Joy from each bosom rolling;
3iand seeks hand with a tender meaning,
13o It sunny or cloudy wenthcr
'These In the field of bliss arc gleaning,
Sharing the noon of life together.
EV12NING.
.Aged ones in the shadows waiting,
Lovers still though the strife Is over;
.Never a Joy of youth berating,
Sighing not for the birds and clover.
Xiooklng now to the hand supernal,
Faith Is theirs with no question whether
Death shall open the gates eternal,
Shnrlng the eve of life together.

Mrs. Ruder's Ruse
"TT ISN'T ns if hhe were not pret
J ty," Mrs. llyder protested, with
a mournful hliuhu of her curly red
head. "She is pretty distractingly
.60. And yet that foolish boy re
fuses to full in with any of my plans
concerning' her."
Joe llyder, striking' a mntch ,on the
post of the veranda, looked down on
his uife with eyes full of quiet
amusement.
"You forget Nigel has never seen
Miss Lelnnd, Winifred."
"What difference? I have told him
Lyndith is pretty, and rich, and de
lightfully sweet-tempered, and "
"Lyndith!" Joe llyder paused with
the lit match suspended nn inch from
his cigar. "1 thought it was the oth
er one Marie you had in your eye
for that brother of yours."
Mrs. llyder clasped her hands with
a little gesture of exasperation.
"No! You stupid boy! Isn't Marie
engaged to Tom Shuttlcr?"
"Is she? 1 didn't know."
lie struck another match, lit his
cignr and smoked on complacently.
"It's too bad," declared Mrs. llyder,
industriously stitching a ruille in the
neck of DolHe's school dress, "that
Nigel won't listen to me. Here ho
is for rushing off to Colorado again,
and the chances are he will go be
fore the girls arrive to pay me thnt
visit. Of all the contrary men that
ever lived, Nigel is the worst! If it
were not the most desirable thing in
the world that he should cease his
roving life, marry Lyndith and settle
down near us he would do it in an in
. stunt."
"He must," laughed llyder, "be a
cousin to 'Mistress Mary, who was
quite enntrairy.' "
A queer Hash came into Mrs. Ryder's
expressive little face. She looked up.
"Joe," she said, quickly, "I believe
.you've struck it! Nigel is, as you
say, 'contrairy,' and is generally
prompt to do the exnet reverse of
that which one wishes. So I've
thought just this minute of a plan
a splendid plan."
She quile forgot the ruffle. Her
hands lay idle in her tap. lie looked
down on her, leniently.
"You have, dear? What is it?"
But she onlv responded oracularly:
"'Wait and see."
One week later her plan was plain
to hint.
At breakfast that morning Mrs.
llyder said to her brother, a stal
wart, blond-haired young Apollo:
"The Lelnnd girls are to be here for
their long-promised visit u fortnight
from to-day."
Joe gasped, almost contradicted
her, but at a glance subsided into at
tentive silence, lie had read the let
ter from Marie Leland, in which she
said they would arrive on Friday.
And this was Thursday!
"Two weeks' reprieve," Nigel
thought, but aloud he said: "Too
Imrt; I'll be in Colorado then. I must
leave Monday next at the latest."
Mrs. llyder only smiled.
When her husband caught her alone
he said to her: "Why did you tell
the dear boy that yarn, Winifred?"
"Ilecause I in reprehensible par
lance mean to spring the girls on
him. If T hnd said they were to ar
rive to-morrow he would have left for
Colorado to-night."
"Is that the extent of your deceit?''
"Ily no means," she answered,
-laughing. "Listen!"
She lifted a mischievous face, nnd
lie stooped his head and listened to a
long, quickly-spoken whisper.
"You disgraceful little schemer," he
said.
The evening after the Misses Le
lnnd arrived. They were orphans,
both' wealthy and cultured. One was
of medium height, with a pliant, beau
tiful form, n mass of ripply, reddish
gold hair, the delicate complexion
that accompanies such hair, nnd a
pair of velvety violet eyes, under the
darkest of lashes and brows. The oth
er was small, brown-skinned nnd
brown-haired, with a kind, plain, se
rious little face. Mrs. llyder wel
comed her guests warmly nnd hurried
them oil to their room to change
their traveling attire. And there tho
three ladies had quite u confidential
talk.
When they came down to dinner
llyder and his brother-in-law were on
the veranda. As they rose Nigel knew
thnt he had fallen into a trap set for
him by his determined little sister.
"Joe needs no introduction, girls,"
averred Mrs. llyder, airily. "But let
mc make known my brother, Nigel
Field. Miss Marie Lelnnd," Indicating
the taller of the two, and then, turn
ing to the other: "Miss Lyndith Le
lnnd." If Mnric was the more beautiful,
Lyndith wns more fascinating. If
Marie wns a vision of loveliness in her
sea-green silk and emeralds, the smull
creature in dusky lace and yellow
roses possessed a peculiar personal
charm. Nigel looked from one to the
other often during the evening nnd
congratulated himself that he had
not taken the trnin west, as he ns-
suredly would have done, had he
known of their intended early ar
rival. "Well," questioned his sister, quiz
zically, when she met him in the hall
next morning, "which docs your royal
highness most profoundly approve?"
"The little one," he answered, posi
tively. "Yes, I've been thinking them
over. They arc both delightful girls
far too lovely to look leniently on
your devoted brother. But the little
one lias a certain distinction attract
iveness "
Mrs. llyder beamed exaggerated ap
proval upon him.
"I'm so glad you think thnt way,
denr! For Marie the taller, you
know is engaged to Tom Shuttlcr."
Young Field bit his fair mustache
savagely.
"Is she? Confound Shuttlcr!"
Mrs. llyder suppressed a smile with
diflleulty.
"Oh, you need not care, ns it is
Lyndith you admire. So fortunate!
Come to breakfast." .
But it was not Lyndith his eager
glance sought most admiringly dur
ing1 the weeks that followed.
"Hang that presumptuous Shut
tlcr!" he said to himself daily. "Why
couldn't he have proposed to the oth
er one?"
He came to have quite an enmity
for Shuttlcr. He had never seen him,
but the more he thought of him in
connection with Mnrie Leland the less
he liked him. He imagined him a sul-

len, hangdog fellow, of arrogant man
ners nnd inferior mentality. And he
Field to the satisfaction of Mrs.
llyder, said nothing at all about go
ing to Colorado. To both girls he was
a gallant cavalier, but it was plain to
the most unobservant that it was the
violet-eyed benuty on whom his heart
was set. And he dared not speak
that was the worst of it. lie became
downright despondent as the dny set
for the departure of the girls ap
proached. And his irritation wns in
creased one day on the arrival of the
mail. Lyndith, who hnd just opened
a letter, glanced archly towards her
elder sister.
"This is from Ada Shuttlcr, Marie.
She says Tom is to pass through Ath
lane to-morrow, and will stoji oil! for
a few hours, so we may expect a call."
Marie, coloring bewitchingly, mur
mured n few low words of surprise and
pleasure. Nigel, controlling as best lie
could the jealous! wrath that consumed
him. stood up, muttered an apology for
leaving so abruptly, assuring them
that the fishing trip on which he was
going could not well be postponed, and
formally hade the ladles adieu.
And when the door had closed behind
the square shoulders and high bald
head of Mrs. llyder's brother, those
same demure ladies exchanged comical
glances and broke into soft Inughter.
Bright and early the next morning
Nigel started oir on the mythical ilsh
lug trip. His companion found him
singularly morose, Field was telling
himself he had been a fool to run olf
at mention of the lover of his adored.
He would go straight back. And that
erratic young man immediately did, to
the blank disgust, of David Lotner.
It was four o'clock when he plunged
into the woods leading to the beautiful
summer home of his sister.
"11 alio!" he gasped suddenly, and
stood still.

for directly nhcad of him, walking
slowly, his nrm around her wnlst and
her hend on his shoulder, were Lyndith
Lelnndl and a stranger. They were
speaking in low tones. Marveling a
good deal what Mnrie would think if
nwnre of the evident nlTcction between
the two, he hastened his steps nnd
joined them. Lyndith, looking decid
edly guilty, Introduced Mr. Tom Shut
tlcr, a handsome, well bred, well
groomed man, ns Nigel wns forced In
his heart to acknowledge. The three
went on to the house together. Mrs.
llyder nnd Miss Lelnnd came down the
path to meet them. The latter gave
Mr. Shuttlcr her hand with a smile of
calm friendliness-.
"I suppose Marie is enchanted nt the
prospect of n three-hours' visit," she
said.
"So she Ib good enough to let me
hope," he replied, modestly.
Field stared stupidly from one to
the other. Marie! She had. called the
little brown one Marie! Mrs. llyder
burst Into a henrty peal of Inughter.
"0, you poor, duped boy!" she cried.
"You have known Mnric ns Lyndith
and Lyndith as Marie. We plotted it
the dny the girls came.
"But," began the real Lyndith, grow
ing rose pink under, Nigel's earnest
gaze, "you would not tell us the rea
son, Winnie, thnt"
"O, I'll tell you sometime," laughed
tho arch conspirator merrily. "Now
go and walk in the rosery till you henr
the dinner bell nil of you!" And feel
ing herself an unwelcome fifth, she van
ished." "Well," ventured Joe late that night,
"your ruse seems to have been success
ful, little woman."
"Successful!" ecstatically. "I
should say so! And all because of your
remark as to Nigel's contrariety, lie
began by wanting Lyndith because he
thought she was engaged to Sbuttler.
He hus ended by wanting her for her
self. He put his hend Into the noose
most beautifully. They are to buy the
old Strathney mnnor, a mile from here,
and 0, I'm so happy, Joe!"
"Well, if they are satisfied, nnd you
nrc satisfied," declared Joe, serenely,

ORIGIN OF THE TERM "MOB."
TIiIm Word In Snld in Have Upon Used
n m Fur lluolc fin Chiin-
eer's Time.
As indicating the populace, proverb
ially fickle and easy to be moved (mo
bile, from Latin mobillist), the expres
sion "the mobil people" is as old as tho
time of Chnucer; but, in its later sense,
that of a disorderly crowd, and in its
contracted form, "mob," it is not older
than the post-llestoration period. In
Iloger North's Kxamen, 1740, valuable
for the ninny original nnccdotes of
English history thnt it contains, refer
ence is made (page 574) to a certain
club (the Green llibbon club), 1G80
1(582, nnd the writer adds:
"I may note that the rabble first
changed their title and were called
the mob, in the assemblies of this club
first mobile vulgus, then contracted
in one syllable." It was used hesitat
ingly at first by Drydcn (Don Sebns
tinn, 1G0O), l)urfy (Commonwealth of
Women, 1GSS) and Shadwell (squire of
Alsatia, 1088), and llichnrdson. points
out that Dryden uses both "mobile"
and "mob" in the same sense of rabble;
the former in the sitnge directions as
the common word, the hitter as If it had
not long been introduced. In 1711 the
Spectator instances "mob" ns nn ex
ample of the popular tendency to cur
tail many of our words in familiar writ
ings and conversation. The verb "to
mob," derived, of course, ns above, does
not occur until the period of Horace
Wnlpole, many years later, and Shakes
peare's expression, "the molded queen"
("Hamlet"), refers not to the "mob"
(mobile), but to the headdress, in dis
order. Cincinnati 1'ost.
