THE POET’S REWARD
By LUIS DILLINO.
Lorens Falk wss an author, and ev
ery one knows what a beautiful thing
It Is to be an author, especially In Nor
way. He had even been very suaoees-

well paid by his publishers In Copen

If he wsnta to gat a reputation.
This afternoon he was sitting alone
In Jila rodm, which was Urge and elc

"And who Is Mnmsell Jerpersen?”

Perhaps he wss expecting company?
No, Then maybe he had Just returned

come from a funeral.
The sumptuously furnished room had
looked quite different a few dnys be-

Her poor old wrinkled face looked eo
hopelessly sad that Falk wns deeply
touched.

"For whom did you want tho poem?"
he asked.
"For my son, tho denrest son In nil
the world. You have prohahly a moth

a mother feels."
"I hurled my mother this afternoon, 1
he said, with n tromor In his voice.
"And then 1, old fool, como hero and

In the house. A bed had etood tn the
one corner and In this bed lay the
woman whom he bad loved more than
any other In this world—his mother.
For weeks ho had been at her bed
side, one moment rending to her the
sermone nnd hymns she loved so much,
while the noxt moment he had sat at
his desk writing couplets to tunes by
Offenbach, for ho was working on the
Ibretto of a musical comedy. It had
jeon ordered by tho manager of the
Tivoli Thenter and had to bo finished
within n certain time, and the mono;

A strange feeling of pence had come
over him. Tho air won laden with tho

sent by friends nnd his hood felt
heavy. His eye* were burning hot nnd
he wished he could cry, but could not.
The door belt rang—a timid ring. He
heard the servant open the door.
