I passed ninny evenings at the house in company with the family. Ouo evonlng I took a dictionary from the library on pretense of looking for the Spanish word I wished to use. Don Jose was in the room with others, and Dona Ysabol was looking over my shoulder. There was a story that a courtier who aspired to the favor of Queen Elizabeth of England wrote 1ns aspirations and his fears on a window pane with a diamond and received his replv In the same way. Tho message and reply constitute a rhyme and are familiar to most people who have received a finished education. Whether Dona Ysahel had ever met with them I did not know. While turning over the leaves of the dictionary I stopped and held mv thumb for awhile on the
word "fain."' Then, carelessly turning over tho leaves. I suffered It to remain on tho word "would." In this
way I dictated the line: Fain would I climb, but fear to fall. I had reached the word "climb" and
was looklnc for "but" when Dona
Ysabel walked away from me. I in

feminine curiosity would have led her to remain where she was till I had till
