The old man looked at her with eyes
full of pity.

said; ''he will be sorry afterward for
what he said to you as well as to me.
We can not undo the past, Ruth, but
We may fight it down. We must bear

down the aisle Ruth might have no.
ticed, had she looked up, that his form
was bowed, and that he trembled as
he went. But she did not look up.
She stood still, clasping her hands be-
fore her; and when the church door
shut with clang, she fell down upon
the steps weeping and sobbing aloud.
The echoes Of the many-raftered roof
took up her crying, and from among
the silent tombs, from the dim re-
cesses of the darkening church, there
arose voice and a whisper As of the
dead, who weep with one who weeps.
Then little Charlotte Lemire, who
had been forgotten all this time, crept
sorrowfully from her nook within
the organ rails and sat down beside
Ruth's head, waiting.
Presently Ruth felt her little fingers
about her, soothing and petting, and
she looked up.
Ruth, dear Ruth oh, Ruth, what
can do?" cried the child.
"Nothing, Lofty" Ruth arose and
put on her hat. Let us 60. Please
tell nobody any thing at home, only
that Mr.. Wybrow will not come here
any more, and that have got head
ache and am gone 10 bed"
That Saturday night there was 81

was not brought out, nor was there
any dancing, and the children were
sent to bed early. Also Nettic and
Lofty spent the evening, as did their
mother, in tears.

As the girl lay with her face buried
in Helen's bosom, and her arms
round her neck, the man in the win

bend over the pair, his eyes full ofloye.
Helen turned her face upwards and
met his lips with hers, while. with a

long hair which lay on Helen's shoul-

Ruth Warneford.

From almost every street there came

Then Ruth lifted her head, and rose.
She looked about her strangely, trying

She did not look fit to go to church,

A DesperadO's Victims.

A few weeks ago the press of the
country rang with accounts of the arrest
at Pensacola of John Wesley Hardin,
the Texas desperate, who had killed
twenty.seven men. Stronger light is
thrown upon his character by this ex-
tract from the Columbus (Ga. Enquirer:
On one occasion this man deliberately
killed man in an adjoining room at a
hotel because his snoring annoyed him
and disturbed his sleep. On another
occasion the monster met North Caro-
lima immigrant in the highway in Texas
and begged "chaw Of tobacco. The
immigrant handed him piece of old
fashioned country twist, and for no other
offence than the tobacco did not suit
Hardin, the immigrant was killed in the
presence of his dependent and helpless
family.
Hardin murdered eight officers of the
law in his long list OF murders. His
character was known to many about Pen
sacola Junction. where his relatives live,
but his desperate resistance and the fact
that he was related to some of the officers
of the law protected him.

0Slnan PASha.

Osman Pasha, the Turkish commander
at Plevna, is described by war CORE
spondent as middle-aged looking man
having the appearance of an English
farmer. He speaks little French, un-
derstands little more, but prefers to
talk Turkish when he can. He looks
after everything himself-after the sup
plies of ammunition, the commisariat
stores, and the medicines. On the battle
field he received kilograms and messages
from every part of the field continually
"and while engaged in trying to out
maneuver willy and active enemy, he
sat on a little stool with lead pencil
behind his ear sometimes, and sometimes
stuck under the edge of his fez, with his
field glass in his hand and cigarette
in his mouth, MS cool and collected as
though he had been listening to lecture
on the Arctic regions. He never for an
instant spoke or acted hastily, maintain
ing his extraordinary GOODNESS through
out the thirteen hours of the battle. He
showed me q revolver case taken from
the body of dead Russian officer, in
which there was actually sham wooden
model of a pistol-that was all-with a
ring in the butt-end."

A Mountain Of Literature.

1t is estimated that there are over
2OO, 1000 cubic feet of public records in
manuscript and 25O,0OO printed books
stored away in the Executive depart
ments and their various bureaus AMI
branches, occupying thirty-three build
ings in Washington, all more or less ex-
posed to destruction or damage by fire.
Of these buildings only ten are owned
by the United States, viz: The new
State department., the old war and navy
departments, the treasury, interior, post
Office, and agricultural departments the
army medical museum, the naval OBJ
servatory and Winder's building, corner
Seventeenth and F streets. The others
are rented at an annual cost of 800, 900.
The buildings claimed to be fire-proof
are the State, treasury, and post-oflice
departments, and Winder's build
ing; also the building on South
Capitol street, rented for the coast
survey, and the Shepherd build
ing, rented for the pension Office and
bureau of education. The most extern
sive, as we'll as the most valuable.
records of the government are those of
the treasury and war departments. If
destroyed they could not possibly be
duplicated. The treasury archives con-
tain all the vouchers and other documents
relating to the fiscal transactions OF the
United States, amounting in the aggre-
gate to $31. OOO, 100000.

BE Kind 10 the Aged.

Do the young people ever think that
they will be old; that they will soon fee
that the grasshopper is n burden and
fear is in the way? Only n few short
years ago, that aged man and feeble
woman were young, strong and full OF
life; their loving hearts were gushing
with tenderness and care for the little
ones, who now stand in their places. Do
not iostle that aged couple out of your
pathway, but rather lift them with
tender care over the rough declining
road. You may have forgotten how
they kept your tender feet from STUN.
bling, and with what care they watched
your advancing steps. But they have
not forgotten, and the time will come
when you will be reminded of it by the
love you have tor your little ones. Will
they hand you the same bitter cup to
drink that you pour out for that aged
father and stricken mother? Verify,
with what measure you mete, 1t shall
be measured to you again. Think of
the anxious days and nights your mother
has watched by your sick bed; remem-
Der her loving care, her patience and long
sufferings with your fretfulness, and
then let the blush of shame dye your
brow, that you should be impatient or
unkind to her, now that she is old. Old
folks are such trial! Yes, they know
it, and they feel it-and so will you be
just such trial to your children in the
days that will surely come; aye, and you
will remember, too.

A Long Tramp in q Sewer.

Employees of the Brooklyn board of
city works were engaged in carefully in
speeding the seven large sewers of that
city and their branches. A party OF
them opened the Hudson avenue sewer,
near Atlantic avenue, and let Robert
Berry, one Of their number, down into
it. After waiting couple of hours and
finding that he did not return, they sup.
posed he must have been drowned or
suffocated, and anxiously began search
for his body. Provided with lanterns,
they were just entering the sewer at De
Kalb avenue when a voice exclaimed
over their heads "What are you look
ing after ?" 1t was Berry himself who
spoke. He had been wet through in his
work, and, not caring to return home
through the streets in That condition, he
had followed the sewer as far Us Hillary
street, where he lived, nearly mile
from the manhole which he had entered.
and. rapping with his pole against the
manhole at that street, had been let up
to the world above by some citizens.
Changing his clothing, he walked up the
street leisurely and heard of the prepar-
atoms that had been made to hunt him

A very pathetic description of the
perils of life in the Black Hills, is given
in the following extract from the letter
Of miner to his brother living in Ne
vada: "Tve been spending the last
week trying to think Of some plan which
will enable me to get home. If I only
had $500 I could get to Cheyenne, and
then it would be easy sailing into evils

press, TIN Indians are sure to get it, as
they split open a Wells-Fargo coach
every few days. If you send it by mail,
I wouldn't get it for months, as the post
master is off ON q drunk most of the
time, and can't read anyhow. Don't
send draft on the bank, as it is liable
TO bust. If you know some friend COM
ing to the Hills, don't trust him with the
cash, as he's sure to gamble it all off at
Cheyenne, or get robbed at Custer. If
you can think of some way of sending
the money that il will be sure to get
here, send it right away; but unless
you are sure don't risk it. Perhaps you
had better come yourself and bring il. Z"

An Elk's Raid on a Fort.

A few days ago the military and civil
ians at Fort Laramie were astonished at
the sight of huge elk, which ran out of
the underbrush in the Platte river bot
tom and charged directly through the
parade ground. The antlered monster
was pursued by pack of dogs of all
sizes, and after clearing the buildings
one canine, holder than his fellows,
nipped at his heel, when the eld whirled,
threw down his antler, impaled three or
four of his pnrsuers, then, lifting his
handsome head quickly, he threw them
many yards away. Two dogs were killed
by the goring and fall, while two or
three others were trampled to death.
Not many minutes elapsed before dozen
officers, soldiers and civilians were
mounted and in lively pursuit. Several
hundred cartridges were exploded, with
no perceptible effect except to increase
the speed Of the forest monarch, and
after wearing out their horses in two
hours run, the pursuers gave up the
chase and returned to the fort, leaving
the elk to @ek some quiet grazing spot
on the boundless plains.

est of economy. He says that it has been
loug felt that there was no need
Of two arsenals so near to,
gether, so that Jefferson Barracks is to
be no longer used as a store-house for
army supplies. but as a calvary headquar-
ters. The present calvary headquar tera
in St. Louis will be sold, and it is expect
ed that enough will be realized to pay the
expense of the transfer Meanwhile the
manner OF the officials at the war Office il
denying the stories of this change, thosf
who discuss it say, gives a significance tt
it that it would not otherwise have.
