Two Gentlemen.

up. He was handsomely dressed
in a gray business suit, and had
very neat kid gloves and fine boots.
The other was about twelve years

was of brown cotton and not very

on the platform he raised his straw

Then the other gentleman bowed
in his turn-just as he would have
done to one of his own age-and

Jacks RezurlutionS.

Jack started for school in a brown
study. He took out his diary and
wrote: "Ruzzolved that i'll be xtry
good if | have chance. John Ap-
pleton Willis"
Jack surveyed this production
with much pride; he took it out
every few minutes and read it over,
until recess drove it out of his
mind. He never thought of it again
until the next morning; then he
came rushing into the kitchen
where mamma was helping Bridg-
ct.
80 mother, l want something to
eat now, and some luncheon put
up. We've got holiday, and we
are going chestnuting-the whole
school of u.s." he said.
"How's Maggie ?" asked Mrs.
Willis of the washerwoman, as she
put up the desired luncheon.
"She's better, ma'am; but she
don't gain so fast as she would if
she could get out some of these nice
days"
Jack swallowed the gingerbread,
and rushed up stairs for his chest
nut bag. There on the table lay
his diary. open at his "Rezurlu-
tons" The last word caught his
eye; off | have a chance" Just
then Mrs. Donovan's words flashed
back on his mind, and the thought
came with it of how the sick girls
dull eyes would brighten at the
prospect of such enjoyment as he
was promising himself for that af-
ternoon.
81 WONDER" he said, "if this is a
chance But nobody would ex-
pect fellow to do it," he said to
himself, then bent his energies to
finding his bag but the voice whis-
.pered on: "If you were sick and
poor in that dingy little street,
think how you would like to get
out for a nice ride"
Jack hesitated. GLOW the bows
would laugh to see fellow taking
her to ride; and just think of the
fun I'll lose if l don't go chestnut
ing with them! It's too much to
ask of a fellow Where on earth IS
that bag?" The voice kept whis-
pering OTIS good chance. You
are not very brave, if you can't stand
laughing at"
There was the bag. Now he must
decide whether to go chestnuting,
or get old Fan and take Maggie out
to ride. All at once, Jack bound
ed down stairs three steps at time.
"Say, Mrs. Donovan, don't you be-
lieve Maggie would like to ride
with me this afternoon | drive
mamma very often, 50 you needn't
be afraid to trust her; and it's real
nice out to-day"
Mrs. Donovan looked up in sur
prise for moment, and then she
broke down completely "There's
nothing in the wurruld would do
her more good, and I'll bliss you
foriverW she sobbed out.
"Inasmuch," whispered mamma,
as she kissed him tenderly.
Jack wrote in his diary at night:
"Ruzzolved, that I'll try being com
mon good awhile cause | couldn't
be xtry good if | did have chance"

| DIFFERENT ARRANGEMENT

There has got to be different
arrangement" said John Morrison,
Grossly; this being up with a
> aualling baby half the night has
tobe stopped some way"
81 should not have called you,
John, but baby seemed SO restless !;
thought the hop cloths might
4 quiet him and I could not leave
\ him to fix them myself; besides,
YOU have not been up over ten min
utes at the most"
That's more than | can afford
to lose and work in the office all
day long" and tossing the hops on
H the table, he betook him to the
spare room that he might not be
disturbed again.
The hot tears fell from Lucy Nor
risson's eyes upon the hotter cheeks
Of the little sufferer in her arms, as
she sat alone listening to the long,
regular breathing Of deep sleep in
i the room beyond.
"0h, John! that one short year
could have brought such a change"
As she. sat alone in the grey
dawn Of the early morning, when
lie at best wears such a pitiless,
threadbare look, it seemed to her
such a breadth Of space since the
evening John Morrison had looked
down into her eyes and said: 81
love you next to my Savior, Lucy"
and such an eternity since he had
slammed the door between them.
IF Papa would only waken 1
could send him for Grandmother :;
She would know what to do for my
poor darling"
Yearly the moments dragged
quicker and fainter grew the breath
Oh her child, and the now-terrifed
mother forgot all fear Of annoying
ner husband, and fastening to his
side, said:
"lllyou go for theDoctor, John I?

Yes, after a bit; it isn't broad
daylight yet" and he turned over
'onnlsh his morning nap.

and stop as you go and ask mother
to come right away"
II guess DR.. Jeffries' sugar and
flour will be as efficacious as the
necessity of the case requires" was
the sarcastic observation as he left
the house.
Now, John Morrison was neither
a heather nor a cruel husband he
loved his wife, or told himself he
did, as well as other men; but that
everlasting headache or some other
ache to which Lucy had been vic
tim since baby came, had surely tax
ed his patience and interfered with
his comfort. Most mothers took the
entire charge of their babies, but
Lucy had frequently to call on him.
The provocation of this particu-
lar night had been-after returning
from a political caucus, that had
detained him until mid-night-he
had just fallen into sound sleep,
when the call, "John, Jamie is so
sick, won't you go to the garnet for
the hops?" had exasperated him
beyond endurance. He had not ask
ed himself how long his wife had
been awake and watching with
their !child-but he did not propose
having her add imaginary aches
and pains of Jamie's to the list of
her own.
To be sure the child's face had
looked flushed, and his breathing
was quick and irregular, but those
were symptoms common to all colds.
He would go for Jeffries, Lucy's
Dr., that would pacify her and his,
sugar pills wouldn't hurt the boy
and buttoning his coat closer over
his satisfied heart, he wondered il
Jones Mould run ahead of his ticket.
In the loneliness of her wounded
heart, Lucy had forgotten for the
moment her anxiety, and was re-
peating bitterly, Glove and cherish
until death US do part" "a sharp cry
of pain, a quick struggle, and Jamie
lay limp and white on her lap.
She did not faint, as most weak
women would-there was no sound
of anguish escaped her lips, but
cold, white, aye! and almost hard
as marble, sat the young mother,
with her dead baby, her first born,
in her arms, as the door opened and
John blandly and brusquely usher
ed DR.. Jeffries in.
"Lucy-as he caught the look on
her face-our boy! what has hap
pened ?"
Nothing; only God has made
an arrangement whereby your
sleep will be undisturbed"
John Morrison wondered as the
tears fell upon touching poem
he was writing in memory of his
dead darling, how woman and
mothers heart could be SO cold
and hard.
