remarking:

rowful manner.

have a quickened conscience an d he
blinked and stared by turns in very
alarming manner.

he went on, AN mcbbc I'd better con-
fess.'
His whole frame trcmbled like a.
leaf, and deadly pallor overspread d
his face. A window was thrown op-
Ell, which seemed to revive him, and
he gasped:
i wrote Beautiful Snow!
you did nothing of the sort yell
ed father; L wrote it myself, and L
can prove it,
Grandfather went on with his con
fcssion:
i killed old man Junius, and W rote
the Nathan letters! Bind up my
horse Give me another wound!'
Another window was opened. Sum
moning his strength again he whis-
cred:

SON struck him twice; once for V,

A tracky sort of a boy stood in
front Of house on Sproat street for
a full quarter of an hour, gently rub
bing his sore heel against the fence
pickets and thinking deeply, but
there was well-counterfeited look
Of alarm on his face as his vigorous
pull at the bell got the woman of the
house to the door.
What is it p she asked as he look
ed tEis way and that and danced
around.
Put down yer winders-b yer
doors-yard all full of lions + he re-
piled rs he skipped for the gate.
She uttered a little scream and
disappeared, and for half al hour
that house was as tightly colosed as
a post-office box on the upper tier.
Then the woman cautiously put her
head out, gazed around, grew bolder,
and finally appeared in the trant
yard. She looked about her, her
chin trembling a little, but by de.
grees peculiar look stole over her
face.

The Good Grandfather.

The other day, when good citizen
wanted s me repairs to his boots, and
stepped into small shoemaker 5 shop
on Antoine street, he WAS greatly
astonishcd to SEQ Il boy about Fl We
years old playing with revolver,
while the old shoemaker pounded
away at his pegs MS contentedly as if
Colonel Colt never existed.
rs that revolver loaded? asked the
customer, as he hcsitatcd about sit
ting down.
'Yaas. I 'spose So replied til c old
man, but Johnny wouldn't hurt his
nice old grandfather, would you,
j ohnny p
'Noap,' briefly answered the boy,
rs he poked stick into the muzzle
Of the weapon.
But he may shoot mer exclaimed
the customer, backing off.
oh, no, he wont! Little Johnny
wouldn't shoot the gentleman, would
he?
'Noap,' was the soft reply, as the
boy blew down the muzzle.
Pm his grandfather remarked the
old man rs the stranger sat down on
tile v,ige Of Ii chair and slowly pulled
at his boot. Some ndfathers
don't like children, but I cart get
along without 'em. He's noble
youth, that boy is, and don t bell
eve you could hire him to shoot me
for fifty dollars in cash-could he,
Johnny?'
'Noap,' whispered the boy, who was
now laying out all his strength in an
effort to cock the weapon.
The old man put piece of leather
to soak, and had just received the
boot, when bang went The revolver,
and the whitewash flew from the cell
ing above.
Give me that boot me that
boot yelled the man rs he grabbed
it and started for the door.
1t was nothing-nobody hurt
come back I called the old man, fol-
lowing after.
You ought to be horse-whipped
for allowing such thing 7 shouted
the man ns he hobbled to q box to sit
down and pull on his boot.
No, hadn't-no, hadn't pro-
tested grandfather, still following.
johnny said he wouldn't hurt you,
and he didn't. He'sa noble youth,
that boy is, and you can depend on
what he says. Come in-there's no
danger
Johnny appeared at the door at
that moment, wiping the smoke out
Of the barrel with his wet finger, and
the old man appea'ingly said
johnny, tell this gentleman that
you won't accidentally shoot him
You wouldn't hurt him for all the
candy in town, would your
