Against the heavy daik blue east, tto reflection was all tbo more startlirg. In the uiidBt of this picture the capi tol raiEcd itself, high nloc the surround ing city. For onco it Beemtd a thicg of beauty, lis hare was hidden in shade and shadow. The higher faces reflected the sunset with the effect of polished bronze, while the graer stone, etill wet with the ruin, was as silver. So bright and biilliant was the lipht that every trace of decoy and slain was obliterated in its intensity. The dome stood out clear-cut against the background pure and dazzling as some marble temple of the Greeks. And the whole, with its lights and shadows was a woikfora master hand. All day the hot 'south wind blew -as from a furnace. The leaves of the trees and the blades ot grass were dry and curled and crackled under foot. The white fiery ball of the sun beat down until the air on the hill tops quivered as it does on the desert. Oust s xept by in clouds, envclopirg houses and trees and whole street. When the wind calmed a moment one noticed an added ridge of whitish-broxn on the window sills. Women remained unseen within doors, Men with powdered hiir, uusty, wilted collars, and litt'e channels of perspiration trickling down their che?ki, bent their heads lo the wind at the street corners and hurried to business that goes on unceasing. In the corner of their eye3 were black specks of dirt, and the lids were tight drawn, and wrinkles ran from the ends to the tmple, like one looking intently at the sun for a long time. Out by the cemetery a mover's wagon crept slowly up tie little bill. The horses' heads were bent close to the ground. A deg with a limping foot fol lowed wearily, its tongue lolling out and Bringing fioai side to side. The black ened cinvas? of the wjgon iluttered and happed and beat against the sides noUily, as the wind caught and whipped it about. On the seat sat a man and a woman The man's face was brown and un- shaven and in his eyes spoke despair and desperation. The woman beside b;nt over a bund'e in her lap and wept hot tearr, which, fa'ling upon a litt!e, wh te, pinched fae?, rolled through the encrusting dust and dirt on to the woman's drcs3 beJoy. But the tears and the dust and the wind and the heat striking the littl 3 face called forth uo cry now. Still and lifelees with closed ejes, it lay there bathed in the mother's grief. For the child was dead. The horses nd the wagon and the limping dog crept up the hill and on over the top into the burnirg, glowing distince. The wind from the southern furnt.ee blew all that day and many more. The trees grew blown and bare, the earth parched and seamed with huge cracks. And out by the cemetery the road glowed and glistened and quivered under the desert run. HARRY G. SHEDD. OTHER PAPERS PLEASE COPY. Missing from home tince May 1G, 1897.

The branches of the palm embraced the branches of the wild orange, and the banana bent its stately bead and whispered of its love to his little cousin, the lemon. II. A man in a thatched roof and the skins of animals came walking along the beach, followed by his faithful dog. Had you looked at the calm, sad eye you would have known that he was a m-n with a past. III. Suddenly he stopped. An ashen pallor spread over his face. He mw some thing in the sand. It was the print of a bare foot. IV. He cried aloud: "I fled from the world because of it! It haunted me there! God knows I was Innocent." He fell to the earth and his eye became glassy. V. Long years passed. Sailors, seeking water, found on the beach the skeletons of a man and a dog and a footprint which grimly told that Trilby had passed that way. RafTerty with an (I. Drowning Negro I'se slnkin'!
