had seen him throw; the stone. He
might have skunk away, and kept his
act secret, if he had not been too
noble boy to do such a meanness.
Mr.. Hardwick, who lived in the house
where the window was broken, was a
lawyer, and seemed to be Of stern,
harsh temper, for he used to scold the
boys if they but crossed his fields or
even entered the woods. Robert did
not like to meet him.
But Robert had more fear Of doing
wrong than facing the anger of the
lawyer. So he went up to Mr.. Har-
wick and said: s' In throwing a stone
just now broke pane of glass in one
of your windows - .,.-
NV ell, then, you must send glazier
and have it mended,' said Mr.. Hard
wick in an angry tone.
''That is just what / wished to do, -
said Robert, land I will do it at once .
Struck by this manly reply, Mr..
Hardwick asked Robert if he had any
money to pay the glazier.

crown that I have been saving up
what have you been saving it up
for - asked Mr.. Hardwick.
81 have been saving it up to buy my
sister sunshade," replied Robert.
SWELL, SIR" said the lawyer, II look
to you to see that my window is mend
ed.''
Robert bowed and took his leave.
That same day he sent glaZer, and
had new pane Of glass set in place of
the broken one. He felt that Mr.. Hard
wick had claimed Of him no more than
was right, and he did not blame him.
But, as Robert sat at his lesson that
evening, the door bell rung aid a
package was left for him. He opened
it, and what do you think he found?
In the package was a beautiful blue
sunshade. and with it letter from Mr..
Hardwick in these words: ''Take this
as proof that I was pleased by your
readiness in doing right to-day
Robert ran and gave the sunshade to
his sister, and she was delighted with
the gift. His father, when he learned
what had happened, said to Robert,
''We should always do right for the
love of right, and not in the hope of
reward.''
Il am sure I did not hope for a re.
ward," said Robert. II should still
have been glad that paid for mcnding
the window, even if had got nothing
in return. For surely deserved moth
ing. I see that man may seem stern,
like Mr.. Hardwick, and yet be kind at
heart.-En glish paper.

the Governors of Missouri and Arkan-
sas.
Reeds body had become very much
decomposed, particularly about the
| head, he having been shot just between
the nose and right eye. The drayman,
in carrying HIM to the potter's field,
mlstook the place, and in returning,
with the breeze to the windward of the
corpse, he took sick, and was compelled
to abandon it on the roadside. 1t was,
however, taken charge of by the sheriff
and finally inferred. 1t is hoped that
the others may be taken and dealt with
in like manner.
The alleged virtues of madstones
are discredited by scientific men. The
only efficacy they can have is that of
being imperfect cupping glasses, they
being generally porus coralits which
will adhere to raw wound. Still, the
Lynchburg (Va.) Republican tells a
story which is important, if true. A
Virginian whose name it gives, was
lately bitten by moccasin snake, and
before he could get any means of help
his bitten leg was very badly swollen
and his suffer,ngs were great, if not
threatening to be fatal. A maidstone
was applied to the wound, and seemed
to suck the poison from it; the leg
soon resumed it's natural size, and the
uncomfortable symptoms disappeared.
It is curious that the belief in mad
stones exists in the East Indies as we'll
as in this country, and many marvellous
tales are told of their origin.

>e weather on Saturday was a rep
ctition Of that of Friday last, being cold
and cloudy with light breeze which
made it chilly for those who sat through
the races. The track was in excellent
condition, a little dryer than on the
previous day. AS on Friday, the races
were greatly behind hand, and the trot-
ters did not make their appearance till
a quarter to three. The crowd was not
large, but was an improvement on tina:
of Friday. A few drops Of rain fell
carly in the afternoon, but it soon cleared
of and the sun shone warmly again.
The 2:35 Trotters.
The positions for the first beat were
taken up with Young St. Lawrence next
the pole, Cupid second, Oak Grove Girl
third, Darkness fourth, and Dan Sutton
on the outside. AT the pools Darkness
was the favorite. This heat commenced
at 2 o'clock 81 minutes, after sew
eral false starts. Darkness imme-
diatel y took the lead, with Dan SUIT
ton close on his flank, while Oak Grove
Girl broke on the first quarter. At the
half-mile post the Girl was recovering
herself and passed Dan Sutton, taking
the second place, but soon broke up
again hopelesslv and allowed Cupid and
Dan Sutton to go by her. On the last
turn Darkness, Cupid and Dan Sutton
were all together and doing some fine
work, but Darkness put in some extra
strides on the home stretch and won
the heat in 2:37. Dan Sutton came in
second and Cupid third, but Mr.. Bates
claimed the second place on account OF
Dan Sutton's running, and the judges
allowed his claim, giving Dan Sutton
the third place. ....
THE SECOND HEAT
took Place at 3 o'clock 33 minutes.
Darkness again stepped to the front,
pressed hard by Cupid, who kept close
behind him all around the track, and,
on the home stretch, closed up neck
and neck, when fine finish ensued.
Cupid broke not twenty yards from the
wire, being urged too hard, and Dark.
