he would return — of that she was sure — so she remained true to her promises at the altar. He kept silence all this time because the past was a blank to him. His mind was, however, to use his own words, ever concentrated on catching the fleeting impression of another existence. What rare happiness is theirs at this moment!"

"You will never go away again?" she murmured.
"I swear," he said, hoarsely.
"I knew you would come back," she whispered, her soft eyes shining with serene faith. "If you start to leave again, dearest heart, I will try to draw you back to where you belong, here in my arms, by singing 'Then You'll Remember Me/ "
The Truthful Tramp
By JOHN S. GREY
A tramp approached the farmhouse door **■ With feeble steps and slow.
The housewife coldly looked him o'er, But did not bid him go. " Believe me, madam/' cried the tramp, " I'm hungry, tired and lame. I've seen tough fights in field and camp — Your charity I claim! " I've marked the conquered foeman yield In actions fierce and fast, Kept watch upon the battlefield
And thought each fight the last. I saw the strife from day to day,
And heard the drum's loud beat " — The woman cried, " Stay, stranger, stay, Pray sit ye down and eat ! "
She brought him of the best she had —
He ate and drank his fill ; She gazed upon that soldier lad — Her hero filled the bill ! " Where was the war — I want to know? "
At last the woman cried. " Why, at the Moving Picture show," The truthful tramp replied.
