"wait . Bit" cried the fsther, and
rowed nearer.
The son fell back, gave the father .
long look, and sank.
Thord would not believe it; he kept
the boat on the same spot. and fixed bis
eyes where the son sank. a. il he az
pected him to come up again. Some
bubbles rose to the surface; still few
more. and then larger one; il burst,
and the lake lay as smooth Is o mirror.
For three days and three nights they
saw the father rowing round that spot,
without taking food or rest. He was
dragging the Lake for the body Of his
son.
On the morning Of the third day he
found it. and carried it up over the
hills TO his farm.
A year had scarcely passed, when the
minister, late one autumn evening,
heard some one outside the door of bis
room trying to find the latch. The
minister opened the door, and tall
man. with gray hair and somewhat
bowed down. entered the room. The
minister looked long time at him be-
fore he recognized him; it was Thord.
ssAre you 50 late outa'' said the min
lister, and stood still before him.
Eyes. am late out" said Thord.
and sat down.
The minister sat down also, waiting
for Thord TO speak; there was long 81
lence.
II have got something with me
which wish to give to the poor" said
Thord, at last. II should like it in
vested as a legacy in my sons name. y
He rose, put some money on the table
and sat down again.
The good minister counted tia
money. This is . great deal OF
money" he said.
ut is half the price Of my farm.
have sold it to-day.p
The minister sat long in silence; At
last he said, quite gently, to him, s.And
what will you do now, Thordp''
Something better"
They sat silent again for some time,
Thord with his eyes upon the floor, the
minister with his eyes liked upon Thord.
Gently and slowly the minister said,
II believe your SON has become q bless
ing to yOu at last.
Eyes, think 20 myself, said Thortl.
and two big tears rolled slowly down
his cheeks. - Translated from ne Nor

Charles Annis.

There is no doubt that the man An.
mis-, under arrest in Pueblo county,
Colorado, by the name Of Charles Ali.
son, is the man who escaped from
Sheriff Kyle of Eureka, while being
brought to the Nevada State Prison.
The APPEAL few days ago published
an item to the effect that Sheriff Kyle
had telegraphed Governor Kinkead for
requisition in the case Of Annis. The
Colorado officer writes Kyle that thir-
teen indictments will be found against
Annis there, and that the fellow is
likely to get one hundred and thirty
years in the Colorado State Prison.
Such being the case it would be adj.
visable, we think, to let Annis serve
his Colorado terms out if possible, and
then Sheriff Kyle, or possibly a sue
cessor Of his, might give the seven and
one half years of the Nevada sentence
his consideration.
