claim of $3.50 per day for fifteen hun
dred days as custodian, and Sl2 20 per
day for storage and insurance, was
paid. He was directed by the court to-
day to release the whisky and to bring

"Finished at last
Martin Bruce spoke the words with a
sigh of utter WEAKNESS and lifted his head
from his work, taking his magnifying glass
from one eye as he did so. Upon the table
before him was alarge steel plate, on which
he had engraved a design requiring the
most delicate and careful work, and to
which he had given several days continued
labor. AS he looked at it, completed, the
expression of proud pleasure involuntary
upon the face of man who had finished
the piece Of work satisfactorily, became
clouded.
"That poor child" he muttered, and
listened to suppressed sobbing coming
from above his half opened door. With
the cloud still upon his face he went to the
landing and looked up the narrow stair
way to the attic. AS he expected, he saw
alittle figure crouched upon the upper stair,
the head Bonded low over folded arms, the
bare feet tucked up under ragged skirts.
The sobbng though distinctly audible,
was evidently carefully choked down.
lIlXy Nldi Odiu, LII q INV NUlCOs
In moment the child was beside him,
with a quick, darting motion that suited
well the slender figure, thin to painful an
gularity, and face that was almost imp
ish in it's look Of want and precoci!y.
Martin Bruce, tall and strong with a
handsome blonde face, bent low, and met
the gaze of large intensely black eyes
swollen and infamed by tears. Silently he
lifted the child, and taking her into his
own room, closed the door.

IF I SHOULD GO.

BY JULIA CROUCH CULVER.
If I should go, beloved, and leave you here,
And but my memory remain with you
1 would not have your eyes know falling tears,
With one regret Of ausht Or false or true,
OF what you were to Inc when was near,
For h lsty word, or lack OF tender thought,
But know they are all vanished and are naught
And rather think, beloved of what to me
You were before stepped beyond your sight,
OF the full restful joy got from thee
That swept my life from any shade OF night,
AMI made me feel that it could hardly be
That ever we had lived our lives apart
And did not think and feel as heart to heart
Think only of the sunshine and the sweet,
Trace not q line to mar our happy dream,
And sigh not that the tine had flying feet.
/ hat hid with darkened tracks our golden CLEAN
But rather think how much OF life had,
And for my sake be grateful and be glad.
1t is no question whether life shall end,
The question onlyis of when and how,
And sweetest life that holds the dearest friend
Shrinks not the most to hear the summons now
For will not joy with joy more smoothly blend?
And who know how sweet life is to me
May pass serenely to that one to be.
So grieve not at the shortness of my way
But rather think that tho my sun stood high,
yet had more of sweetness in my day
Than many who see twice my years 20 by.
And let my memory in your bosom stay,
To tighten, rather than TO bring regret
So sweet, forever. you would not forget.
We've known the joy of perfect love and trust,
We've walked together with joyful tread,
And when we part as sometime part we must,
. I'll be content to know when am dead
That tho this form has mouldered back to dust
Our happy life together will remain
To soften yOnrs until we meet again. -
And so whatever friends you then may find,
l only ask that they may prove most true,
and find you nober in your heart and mind
Because once was dearest friend to you.
While yet my memory remains behind,
Free from regret, free fir I'm a 81 III or thorn,
Blessing your days until the perfect IN IN.

IN the darkest hour through which q
human soul can pass, whatever else is
doubtful, this is at least certain. If there
be no God and no future state, yet, even
taen, it is better to be generous than sell
fish, better to be chaste than licentious,
better to be true than false, better to be
brave than to be a coward.-Ffederich;
