Oh, Edith, my early manhood was wasted; I've reached the autumn time, and the gloom which wrapped me then in its black folds lies around me still, and will you refuse to throw over my pathway a single ray of sunlight? No, no, Edith, you won't, you can't. I've loved you too much. I've lost too much. I'm growing old and oh, Birdie, Birdie, I'M BLIND! I'M BLIND!"
Fanny ran forward to meet her, and taking her hand said "Dear granny it is all over, Norman is very sorry, so when papa comes this evening, I hope that he may not hear about my poor birdie, and that we shall both look smiling and happy." "I hope so, my dear, and I am very sure that neither your mamma nor Mrs Maclean will tell him of what has occurred."
And those who had found it convenient to pass the brief remainder of the night in their heavy, clay-soiled boots had the advantage of breakfasting at the first hot rush of Birdie's ministrations. And Birdie, with the understanding of her kind, had bestowed special attention upon the quantity and quality of the coffee, leaving the solid side of the meal almost unconsidered.
"But what else is left to do?" "Swear you won't tell?" Nance crossed her heart with a floury finger. "I'm going to be a actress," said Birdie. It was fortunate for Nance that Birdie's term at the home soon ended.
"He likes to talk to me," pursued the child, rolling the empty spools to and fro with her crutch, "for he pities me because I am lame." "Bless your dear little heart," said Mrs. Corliss, softly stroking the little girl's curls; "it is seldom poor old master takes to any one as he has to you." "Do I look anything like the little child that died?" questioned Birdie.
O birdie, and boar, and deer, lie tame! For a maiden in bloom, or a full-blown dame, Are the daintiest prey, and the windingest game, When Kaisers go a-hunting, Tra-ra! Ha, ha, ha, ha, Tra-ra, tra-ra, Ha-ha, tra-ra, tra-ra! The voices held long on the last note, and let it die in a forest cadence. ''Fore Gad! well done. Hurrah! Tra-ra, ha-ha, tra-ra!
"I'm going to see if I can't borrow a couple of red-bird costumes off Mrs. Ryan," said Birdie, whose good humor seemed completely restored. "We'll buy a couple of masks. I don't know what Monte's letting us in for, but I'll try anything once." "Will there be dancing, Birdie?" asked Nance, her eyes shining in the dark. "Of course, Silly! Nothing but.
"I forgot all about you. Just as cute looking as ever, eh! Where did you get that hat?" "Ten-cent store," said Nance, triumphantly. "Can you beat that?" said Birdie. "You always did have a style about you. But your hair's fixed wrong. Come on down to the dressing-room while I change. I'll do it over before you see Reeser."
A low, gasping cry broke from Mrs. Corliss's lips, and her face grew ashen white. She tried to speak, but the words died away in her throat. "He talks to me a great deal about her," continued Birdie, "and he weeps such bitter tears, and has such strange dreams about her.
Birdie has fairly taken the fighting edge off Liman von Sanders' two new Divisions: he has knocked them to bits. A few more shells and they would have been swept off the face of the earth. As it is we have slaughtered a multitude. Since the 18th we are down to two rounds per gun per diem, but the Turks who have been short of stuff since the 8th instant are now once more well found.
