The Path
and
The Brook
By
MARTHA BANNING THOMAS
(9. IH*. WMl<rn N?wap*p?r U&ioa.)
WAS New Year"! Er?. Bright
jfll moonlight lay on the hillside. It
?hone softly on the little path that
led to the wee stone house at the top;
and It glittered like a million dia
mond? sprinkled over the brook. The
night was crystal clear, and every star
shone with polished brilliance.
"It was a night like this ten yenrs
ago thst he last walked over me,"
spoke the path in a sweet, plaintive
vorice. "I listen and listen for him
every New Year's Eve, but he has
never come again."
"It was a night like this ten years
ago that they both stood beside me
and said how beautiful I was In the
moonlight," said the brook In a clear,
bubbling voice. "I
wonder what hus
become of him
and why he never
returns."
"She w a 1 k 8
down the hill
every day to the
the letter-box, and
once I heard her
Bay: 'If he doesn't
write me this
New Year'?, Til
know he's dead.' "
The little path
grew quiet In the
moonlight. The
brook crooned
softly to Itself.
"What was It he
said to her that
last night about going away?" asked
the path after a moment.
. "He said: 'If I'm ever going to
make a cl*Min, fresh start In life I
must do it now. I'll leave you, dear,
and never come back until I've kept
my promise.' "
"Ah, yes, I remember," sighed the
little path, "he was young and he had
done a foolish thing?I've forgotten
wh?t, but they loved each other so.
She has waited all this time."
Again they were very still, there In
the clear moonlight.
"Hark !" whispered the brook.
"What is It?" asked the path.
"I hear some one coming."
"I hear two persons coming! What
can it mean? One comes down the
hill and one comes up!"
A man's figure slowly followed the
little path up the hill. A girl's slight
form conic down
like u w r a 11 h.
They met where
the path winds
nearest the brook.
"You?" said the
man's voice, and
It was filled with
wonder.
"You?" asked
the girl. "No, no,
I'm asleep and
dreaming."
The brook and
the path held
their breath for
very amazement.
"Ten years ago
tonight I left you
hj? re on e w
Venr's five," salct
the man's voice.
"You forgave my wrong-doing and X
went away to start all over Again. It
has token all tills time to reach tlie
place where I dared to come back. I
was sure you would he gone, married,
and had forgotten me."
The girl gave a sharp, happy cry
"We were so young then, dear, hardly
more than boy nnd girl. Hut I have,
waited nnd waited and now I can
hardly believe you have come back?
a man!"
They drew together and went on up
the path.
The moon shone brightly. The
brook bubbled with delight. The little
path led them to the door of the wee
stone house. New Year's Eve was the
new beginning for two lives.
The Passing Years
Tears bring a tender satisfaction to
one who has lived a good life. The
pood deeds one has done will he so
many song birds to make sweet mel
ody fn his heart. The association of
friends will be mor? precious the
longer wo cherish them. The con
sciousness of growth In grace, the as
surance that we are becoming master
of onrsejves with the passing years,
will add to otir peace when we real
Ire that we are growing old. and that
<*r span of life la becomlnf narrower.
