Robert Penfeld, however, though an
impulsive man, was not unjust He put on
his hat and went straight to the cottage in
Holmes lane, where Flora Rawson lived.
It was dreary place, unexpected, with
out much fire, and the broken window
panes stuffed with rags, where Flora was
tending flock of untidy children, while
the shrlll tones of her step mothers voice
sounded from the back yard, where she
was hanging up clothes to dry. She started
and looked frightened when she saw him
standing in the doorway. is
My good girl, said he, I have misjudged
you. am sorry I sent you away SO harsh
" this morning Well try to make place

And then he explained to Flora and her
step mother, who had by this time hurried
in with pocket handkerchief tied around
her head, and steaming, soapy arms, the
peculiar combination of circumstances by
which Flora had been adjudged to be
guilty Of theft
Mrs. Rawson tossed her head and bridled
as she listened. #
"Our Flora has her faults" said she,
''and plenty of 'em-but, thank the Lord,

So Flora Rawson got an excellent place

tainly; but, to his praciced eye, unmistak
able paste. He had been misled by the
genuineness Of the small stones; and his
eagerness to secure the large one for COM
paratiyely nothing, and utter absence Of
grounds for suspicion, had caused him to
disregard the little opportunity he had for
examining it. The whole thing was a most
ingenious plot, devised by some swindlers,
who. with the noble red mar" as
their ally, had been waiting for, him ever
since he arrived in Brazil; batting their
hook with few real sprats they landed a
whale. When told the story to some
diamond dealers in London afterward, they
refused to believe that SO experienced
man could be deceived by sham. The
story leaked outin quite another quarter,
b owever, in a short time It was not the
paste that had imposed on him, but the
artful misdirection of the attention.

How Long Should We Sleep?
Felix L. Oswald in Popular Science Monthly

Felix L. Oswald in Popular Science Monthly
for July.
The vital processes Of man, like those of
all his FELLOW creatures, are partly con-
trolled by automic tendencies. Some func-
tons of our internal economy are too inn
portant to be trusted to tie caplices Of hui
man yolition; breathing, eating, drinking,
and even love, are only SINH voluntary &C
tons; and during period varying from
one-fourth to two-fifths of each solar day
the conscious activity of the senses under
goes complete suspense. the cerebral
workshop is closed for repairs, and the
abused or exhausted body commits its or
ganism into the healing hands of Nature.
Under favorable conditions eight hours of
undisturbed sleep would almost suffice to
counteract the physiological mischief of
sixteen working hours. During sleep the
organ of consciousness is at rest, and the
energies of the system seem to be concen-
trated on the function of nutrition and the
renewal of the vital energy in general; sleep
promotes digestion, repairs the waste OF
the muscular tissue, favors the process OF
cutaneous excretion, and renews the vigol
of the mental faculties.
The amount of sleep required by man is
generally proportonate to the waste of vital
strength, whether by muscular exertion
mental activity Tor emotion), or by the pro-
] cess of rapid assimilation, as during the

THE WELL.

Dark and cool the water lies
In the old time-honored well;
Down deep the bucket flies,
And how often who can tell?
For the school boy, hot with play,
For the laborer tired with toll,
For the traveller on his way,
Doth the tireless rope uncOil
And how often, who can tell?
Or, who first the gracious draught
Drew up from the bounteous well:
Or, who sunk the ancient shaft?
They are dust, who slaked their thirst
At the little silver fount
In the wild woods, where it first
Called the huntsman to dismount.
They are dust, the pioneers,
Who the storm. armed forest broke.
Where the old well now appears,
Where now curls the village smoke
So shall we within the vale
With our children's children dwell,
But the waters ne'er shall fail
In the old time h0nored well.

TUESDAY. oct ll--P. L.
The special feature Of to-days stock market was
the en- ire absence of any excitement in the face Of
decline that was greater than has occurred before
for several days At the lowest figures Of The day
aud for many stocks the lowest for several months
the market was absolutely dull There is only one
logical way of accounting for this anomaly, and
that is by surprising that the large purchases Of
stocksby the bears which were sei-cydent, were
supplied by sales of long stocks and not by new
short contracts. Hence there was An important
liquidation made on both sides of tho &C
count, and the conflicting interest in
the market was largely reduced Opening
figures were mp to or higher than last
evenings closing prices but the yielding began al
most with tho second sales and continued for the
best part OF the day-being generally only gradual
but in some instances the decline Was rapid. St.
Paul and Denver and Rio Grande rank first as
sufferers and Western Union was the best sustained
of all stocks; but where the declines only differed
in degree it is almost inyidious TO specify special
stocks. The monetary situation was not a factor in
the days dealings, it hardly being mentioned or dis
cusScd an influence on the speculation. There
was marked absence of that hammerng of prices
day indeed there no necessity for it stocks were
seeking market, and the hears who furnished it
were ready for IA rally" before they realized that
prices had yielded despite their buying Fluctuations

fore the end but which had begun 10 give way at
