THE FAITHFUL BOY.

Gerhardt was a German shepherd boy,
and q noble fellow he was, too, although
he was very poor. One day as he was
watching his flock, which was feeding
in the valley on the borders of a forest, a
hunter came out of the wood, and asked:
s.How far is it to the nearest village?"
.'Six miles, SIR" replied the boy, 'but
the road is only a sheep track and very
easily lost"
The hunter glanced at the crooked
track and then said:
"Ny lad, I am hungry, tired and
thirsty l have lost my companion and
missed my way. Leave your sheep, and
show me the road. Twill pay you well"
81 cannot leave my sheep, sir" re-
piled the boy. .'They would stray into
the forest and be eaten by wolves Or
stolen by robbers"
"Wei, what of that?" replied the
hunter, 'sthey are not your sheep. The
loss of one or more wouldn't be much to
your master, and I'll give you more
money than you ever earned in a whole
year."
81 cannot go, sir" rejoined Gerhardt,
very firmly "my master pays me for
my time, and he trusts me with his sheep.
If 1 were to sell my time, which does
not belong to me, and the sheep should
get lost, it would be just the anne as if
1 stole them"
WELL" said the hunter, Twill you
trust the attention of the sheep to me
while you go to the village and get me
some food and drink, and q guide? l
will take good care of them for you"
The boy shook his head. s.The sheep
do not know your voice, and" here
Gerhardt stopped speaking"
Sir" said the hoy slowly, .'you tried
to make me false to my trust, and want
ed me to break my duty to my master.
How do I know you would keep your
word to meP"
The hunter laughed, but he felt that
the boy had silenced him. He said: II
see, my lad, that you are a good, faith
full boy. L will not forget you. Show
me the road, and=I will try to follow it
myseE."I
Gerhardt now offered the humble con-
tents of his wallet to the hungry man,
who, coarse as they were, ate them
gladly. Presently, to his surprise, he
found that the hunter was the Grand
Duke, who owned all the country around
The Duke was SO pleased with the boys
honesty, that he sent for him shortly
after and had him educated. In after
years Gerhardt became a very rich and
powerful man, and he remained honest
and true to his dying day.

GOING DOWN TO Ruin.
York-To be ClOsed-An
Episode In one Life.
from the N. Y. Evening NALL

from the N. Y. Evening MALL
The order of Superintendent Walling
to enforce the law %fnrbidding the sale of
LIQUORS and the waiting of girls IN
theatres and concert saloons. is a good
one. We hope the law will be rigldly
enforced. There is no more democrat
izing influence than that exerted by the
free concert saloons. Girls lost t.
decency attend them, and frequently
young girls who are simply ignorant
and foolish. are inyeigled into them Tor
the sake of wages, and lured by the false
show. thew soon become demoralized,
and in their turn demoralize others. Not
long since a lady returning home late at
night encountered three young girls IN
a Broadwaycar, on their way home from
the concert saloon in which they were
engaged. The Oldest of them was Q
over seventeen years of age. Their
boisterous. uncouth manners attracted
her attention. They were all pretty
girls, with intelligent faces. One OF
them was very drunk, and so sick that
several times she was obliged to retreat
to the platform. The lady listened to
them talk. She found that two of them
boarded together, the third ''kept house."
as she called it. ssNo landlady," said
she, ..can call me to account for my
hours.n Suddenly this girl drew a
deep breath, and said: "Oh, girls, I'm
going home for the holidays-won't l
have to be on my good behavior!
Mother'd be killedto see me here" And
her face fell as the recollections ofhome
crossed her mind. The others laughed
and jeered at her, but until she got out
of the car she laughed no more. when
she lett, bidding the others goodnight
the lady followed her, and made speech
with her. at first the poor girl resented
it, but won upon by the gentleness and
genuine solicitude of the lady she finally
asked her up t her ROOM. And there
all night the woman stayed talking with
the unfortunate child. pleading with her,
wrestling for her return to virtuous
ways. This child, the daughter OF a
minister widow in one of the northern
counties, had come to New York two
years ago-when she was fifteen, to
maintain herself and s.help mother and
the children" The snares of the great
city were too much for her, and before
many months she fell. 'tBut they don't
know it at home,' she said. SIT would
kill mother. / send her all the money
I can rake and scrape, and she thinks l
make good earnings in the shop. Shed
go mad it she could see the shop I work
in. 1 thought I'd die last Christmas
when l went home. l got along very
well till prayer time-then 1 thought I'd
die. tried to be good but every little
while I'd do or say something that would
make mother say: Pm afraid, dear.
that you don't have very refined COM
panions in the store.' 1t will be worse
this veal, for l am worse"
Hundreds of girls like this one, from
innocent country homes, are walking
hellward through our streets. What
shall be done to save them? Shut some
of the gates of hell, as these concert
saloons, and open honorable ways of
work in them Give them sympathy.
Rescue one and she will rescue others.

STOKES.

The demand of Edward S. Stokes that
the time during which he was imprison-
ed in the Tombs, between the killing of
Fisk and the sentence, should be credited
to him in the expiration of his penitentia-
~ sentence, has been denied by Judge
Dykeman, at White Plains, Westchester
county, n. Y, before whom Stokes was
taken on a writ of habeas corpus to test
his claim OF accumulation of jail sentence.
Stokes present appearance is thus de-
scribed by the New York World:
Stokes is %thirty-three, erect, with a
broad pair of shoulders, on which rests
a head covered with a short crop of iron
grey hair hardly long enough to show
distinctly a part. but of sufficient length
to be neat and tractable a mustache still
brown, but with Il few white hairs begin
ming to make their appearance, not wax
ed out at the ends Or allowed to grow
unbecomingly long; a Napoleonic inn
perial giving to the face a dignified TX
preston: a person of rudy complexion,
close shaven ON the cheeks, and neat in
appearance, with mild brown eyes in
short a handsome middle-aged man. He
was dressed I'M dark blue English walk
ing coat, with trowsers of a lighter
ma terial, all fitting in the most approved
and latest fashion, a low sailor collar,
about which was tied a plain black silk
cravat, showing a considerable portion
of his throat. Three plain black jet
shirt studs and sleeve buttons of the
same material were his sole jewelry. In
spite of the general healthlul expression
OF his features certain signs of suffering
and of hardships undergone were un,
mistakab e. There was also to be noticed
a both in his glance anG
actions that is almost certain to com
from confinement.
That was a shrewd girl, and not devoit
of sense, either, who remarked, whel
girls were making fun of her short skirts
and affected to be much shocked a
the exhibition thereof ut a party:-''I
you'd only pull up your dresses abou
urneck, where they ought to be, they''
be as short as mine" She was no
roubled any more.
