He gazed at her in mute wonder. The

he asked gently, "when you are to share

never hidden a sorrow from him in all
her life. She had always gone to him for
comfort in all her grlefs, and it did not
occur to her that it was not quite proper
and consistent for him to console her for
grief like this. i5..t15

His goodness touched her. In her
gratitude she could have knelt at his

now led her back to her wondering lover.
The next moment he was gone, and
Johns arms were about her, and Johns

On Tessle's wedding morning she

She Shook Him.

1t has grown into fashionable custom
of late to have mock auction sale of
the prettiest girls at church festivals. It
tends to increase the resources of the
church and at the same time very clearly
demonstrates in which way the affections
OF youth are bent. For it is reasonable
to suppose that no ambitious young
man will permit his sweetheart to be
knocked down to rival until he has ex-
pended his last cent in the effort to be-
come the fortunate purchaser. ,s aH
| Acting upon this idea, a fashionable
church in Denver is preparing for festi-
val. in which the auction business is to
form prominent feature. 1t has put the
young ladies into quite a futter OF ex-
citement, and unhappily at this early
stage Of the novelty-for ~ however com
mon in the East, l. is a novelty here
has come very near wrecking the future
happiness Of two estimable young crea-
lures. The fact in the case are these
A young gentleman who confessed to

occasion referred to called on his Dull

This was naive inquiry, but it led to

PARTED.

The dying day,
Wrapped In It's sunset banners lay
Fading, fading.
wordless both, we watched It's going,
Goodness on our two hearts showing;
silence out of silence growing
Shading, shading,
All our lives with It's chill flowing,
Parted forever,
We stood together
Among this fields of purple heather
There, side by side,
We saw the sweet day when II died.
Sadly sadly,
We heard The songs Of the twilight birds,
The tinkllng bells OF twilight herds,
And all things save one anothcrs words
Gladly, gladly,
Bridging the tide that true love fords,
Parted forever
We walked together
Among the blooms of purple hoatherl
We heard the hum
ofeyenlngs hidden Ministries come
Creeping, creeping,
Prom hilltop, tree-tOp. shore and stream
As II cen silence found a theme
In evenings loyeliness supreme
Weeping, weeping.
Our souls awakened from LIES dream.
Parted forever,
We passed together
over blooming waves of heather
Our hearts were numb,
our passionate lips were stricken dumb
Throbbing, throbbing,
our burning pulses shook their tears
Across the unforgotten years
Offender hopes and slumberlng fean.
Robbing, robbing,
Life OF all that life endears.
Parted forever
We crossed together
The billowy blooms Of puple heatherl
waving hand,
A backward glance along the sand
Parted, parted
Two forms which ne'er meet again,
Two anguished hearts that hide their pain
Pride stabbed our love and 1t was slain
Frozen-h hearted
Two God.bound lives, rouglirent in twain
Parted forever,
No more together
We cross the seas OF fragrant heather.

Legal Torture in Japan.

According to summary of the Japan
ese Penal Codes, which was recently con-
tributed to the Asiatic Society by a mem
Der of the English Embassy in Japan, it
appears that those codes, though embody-
ing the most advanced ideas Of the ciyiliz-
ed world upon the subject of criminal
procedure, still do not dispense with the
use Of torture in the investigation Of Of
fences. Torture, it Is asserted, is not ac-
tually practised, and a notification was
issued by the Prime Minister of the En-.
piro two years ago which conveyed the
impression that it would not be, but the
codes being silent on the subject it is as.
serted that the courts have power to resort
to it when such course shall be deemed
expedient. The old laws which govern
the question are very explicit in their di.
rections as to when and upon whom tor
ture may be inflicted. 1t is allowed in a
mild degree in all preliminary examina.
tons, in which case only whip, which
inficts pain but cannot result in perma.
nent injury, is used. The severer forms
are to be resorted to only in the cases Of
persons held for trial for murder, inceu.
diarism, robbery and other serious and
capital crimes, and who are already NOR.
ally proved guilty of the offence Of which
they are charged. Before torture is re.
sorted to the accused is notified of the in
tention to use it, aud he can avoid lis in
Fiction by making a full confession ad-
hitting that he is guilty of the offence
charged. In case Of the infection Of tor.
ture in cases where il is not allowed, the
officer ordering the infection is responsible
personally. The tortures are numerous
and consist Of the infection Of pain by
