decided that the tramp must wall
until he overcome the influence Of the
drug. One and another took turn,

in about four hours, lame in the left

almost exhausted. He said he had
walked in vain.
Finding death Determined to claim
him, he had returned te die with hi.
friends. Before they could protest he
fell to the floor, breaking the back o
a chair aud upsetting a table, and at.
ter a few kicks he was dead. A pint
OF good brandy was wasted in rrbbinG

in the face Of business. and an under.
taker and coroner called before the
chap let any one know he wasn't dead
He came to in some sort of fit which
required a great deal of kicking, anC
he took care that every kick count

nearly half a pint of wine, and as hi
strength increased he got away witt

morphine trick is what will puzzle
him for a week to come.

A Light out of Darkness.


How sweet it was at dawn to float
Adown the silver rivulet
Like Eden bower above my boat
The wild red roses clustering met.
From tender dawn to tervent noon
Soft iris colors paled and glowed
On rock and tree and flower festoon.
Through which the widening river flowed
From noon to eve ragged hostile storms,
With shock and strife of heat and cold
Cloud chariots driven by spectral forms
Across the Kissing waters rolled
And now, at last, the air is free;
The eyeless depths of heaven are dark
On every side "a shoreleSs sea
Is stretched arorn nd my shattered bark
No help have from star or chart,
From beacon fire or signal bell
And cold and bitter DER my heart
The deadly waters rise and swell
But 10, light on oceans verge
Shines tremulous through a rosy mist
And tlecks with red the throbbng surge,
And warns the clouds to amethyst.
Alas so tempest tossed was |,
So blinded by the rain and spray.
While long bewildered hours went by,
And fog and darkness hid my way.
That if yon light be eve or morn,
Frightening or a waning glow,
smile of life, the newly born,
Or torch of death | may not know
But ever toward that light steer.
With steadtast gaze and yearnng soul,
For life or death through faith or fear,
My only hope. my only goal.
