Of all the beautiful things in this beautiful worldthegpn none that the little ray lovcdso well as the smut-er see. He and his comrades Would play by the hour together with the rippling wavelets, darting from one to another in dueling, mad flashes of light, spread- .ing themselves over the waters, a sheet of molten gold, till a touch of the Wind's light lips broke it up into a thou' sand shimmering fragments. And the waves loved their playmates, too, and each, at the rays kitted it, became itself a little golden tun. sending forth its light into the radiant air, for the sea, like a fickle, lovable woman, answm-s back to all in their own moods and is loved just because she cannot be trusted. Then, where the waves broke on the golden sands or round the clean, dark rocks, the little rays would fill their foam with light till it shone more brightly white than the J ungfrau's crest, and the music of the waves breaking was a joy song for their own loveliness. Laughing, they ran up the sinuoth sand and embraced with teasing play the small pink feet which scampored away before them, while the sun ‘s rays flushed from their surface to meet the light, brighter still, which shone from children’ a cyst. Oh. those were happy days, and as the little ray danced along over the waters he But a time came when the voice of the wind sounded from afar. The sea heard it and was troubled to its depths at the new life of power and strength which was touring within it, while the wavelets far and wide raised their tiny crests, and in ripples of white foam whispered the now one to another. The. clouds, too, heard the voice and gath- ered together at its bidding to spread themselves a thick, dark curtain over thosea and hide from the sun's farm the things which were to be. And so the little ray could visit tho sou no longer nor join any mom in sport with his favorite playmate-s. At this his heart was very sad, and he took no diL light in the other pleasures to which comrades called him. They told him of the wild games they played with the: wind shaken loaves of the forest; of the snow (-old punks which they crowns-d with dazzling splendor of jowuls; of fog laden valleys filled with dream forms of Weirdest, strangest loveliness; of mys- teries of lsrnnty revealed midst the World's most squalid dreariness. But it was all in vain. The little ray longed for his lost playmates and would care for none of them things. As he wandered smlly among lllv heavy, driving clouds, losing himself in their sullen mama's, searching for some err-vice through which he might twin-crate, one of them piticd him. ”Since you will it so,”said she, “I will let you through, though I fear you will find that dreams that are past can hour he dreamed again." Then she shrank back from her neighbor, and with “no swift Word of thanks tho little raydnrn-d down through tho opening she had madv. ' Down he wont to tho Hon lu-lnw and thorn lay quivvring and lost in its black gulf. Uh, what it changed World it was! Above him the tempest hurried along and filintilml to the waves as it went, and the waves throw their whitv heads up and unswvu-d back in crashing thandors. “Dt‘utlu death, and tho and of all things!" passionately yelled the tempest. “Ruin!" roared the waves. “Naught is that can withstand us!" it World of darknms and tumult and terrible unrest. The littloray lay where he had lightul. trmnulous and afraid, now glimmering for an instant among cataracts of rushing foam and then lost again in the dark do pilot of tho water. “if: t’” cried the“ wuvou win it they saw him “Soyou nro horn, littlo ruy 'lho world is changml since you saw it last. " “Changed indeed," said the ray. “Uh, why cannot you be as you woro before, my playmates?" lint tho waves laugh- ed, shaking spray from their crests till the tsunami moght it and whirled it mountain high in the air. “(lire us the winds for playmates," they orb-d, "arid the nu-u'a lives foronrsport. Talk to us not of the wretched, spiritln-ss days that are past. Tho world Is Worth living in now. " “But you were happy thou.

I have prayed in vain. No help isleftiuearth ea in heaven. ” But the little ray wondered on tottard her over the sea, and the Woman, lift- ing her heavy lids, saw the coming glimmer on the water.

" Bis comrades flocked to his call and poured down through the crevice in the clouds. widening it as they went Then they stretched themselves, a broad path of light. from the sky above to the lone- ly boat, which they bathed in their soft radiance. Across the storm driven sea, cleaving the waves asunder with stately motion, a great ship came.

Evening drew near. The tempest had fled now, and that left alone the tired, gray waves, their strength failing and their fury spent, were hearing in sullen impotence to rest. The clouds, falling away from the sky, gathered themselves in soft, changing masses of vapor around tho edge of the son. The sun, sinking lower and lower, called to the rays to come. Sadly they board the call. They bade farewell to their beloved earth in a passion of forvid color. Upon wave and cliff, mountain and cloud, they rained their glowing kisses, and earth’s beauty quivcrod into new glory. asdoos a maiden's in her lover's orn- braco. Then they drew togotlu-r, a road of golden splendor on the sea as they (-rrmvlod westward after their depart- lug king. With slow, majestic motion he sunk to rest. But the little ray hung back.
