STAY East. Young Man.

A little advice to young men wish.
ing to emigrate to the west. Ii you
are coming for the pleasure to find out
the ways of the west and have some
fun, come along; you can get plenty
of that. II coming with the expecta-
ton of filing your purse with golden
money by days work, stay at home
and dig among the pine stumps until
times get little better. The cars are
loaded every day with such young
men, who, when getting to their des-
tination, find no work and an empty
purse. The only thing for them to do
next is to dead-beat their way back by
riding between freight cars or con-
cealing themselves in box cars, II they
can be found empty-not quite as de-
sirable q way as they came. There
was a young man, recently, after be-
ing kicked of the train several times,
was asked by the conductor where he
was going, said: II have started for
St Paul and intend to go there If the

On the Blue Jays, greenish-gray,

"Chaitering braggart, crested thief,
Jester to the woods In chief,
Dandy gay in brilliant blue,
cruel glutton, coward too;
Screaming, cleaning rogue shall be

On Bob Lincoln's, browny-white,
This Is writ, " / read right:
Gallant lover in the clover,
With his gladness bubbling over;
Waltzsr, warbling liquid notes.
Yes, and one that hath two coats!
Nimble, neat, and blithe shall be
The little bird that sleeps in meW
On the King-bird's, creamy-hued,
Runs this legend: "Sulky, rude,
Tiny tyrant, winged with black,
Big OF head and gray of back;
Teaser of the hawk and crow,
And Of flies the deadly foe;
Short and sharp of note shall be

A day for the wedding was appoint

ceased to congratulate himself. The

Wednesday afternoon three detectives,
who were looking for runaway bank

saw Lord Sumner and declared that he

charges ii to inhdel teachings shedding that

OF the tendency is inherited, while temperance
advocates lay the responsibility upon strong

Free thinkers have committed suicide, but
80 have orthodox churchmen. Financial
straits have beset many but the wealthy have
also taken their life.
Insanity and dissipation have preceded sui

One feature common to almost every such
crime challenges attention. Well nigh every
report of suicide and family murder mentions
the perpetrator as having "for some time been
subject TO melancholy" Whence comes thsi

The judges house was large and
airy. Lord Sumner declared that he
was delighted with the place. He first
met Rose at the supper table. Her
beauty made him glad" When she
unconsciously smiled at him, he was
thrilled. After supper Rose and Lord
Sumner repaired to the richly furn-
ished parlor. Rose, who by any
other name would have possessed Just
as sweet voice, sang a pathetic song.
Lord Sumner said that it reminded
him very much of song he once
heard an American lady sing in Paris.

charming placer"

CHAPTER III.

CHAPTER III.
Lord Sumner had remained during
several weeks at the judges house.
At first the village people were much
amused, but after awhile they began to
feel concerned. Rose was, after all, q
good girl, they said, and why should
she throw herself away on man who
was doubtless a worthless characterP
The man who had told the credulous
Judge, was no longer in town, and the
hotel clerk, who was not very friendly
toward the Judge, refused to ex-
plain the joke that had been
played. A kind hearted old min
lister, desiring to save his friends
daughter from disgraceful alli-
ance, went to the Judge one day, and
suddenly breaking off from skill
fully designed Introductory converse
ton, said
"By the way. Judge. how is your

"Judge, read this"
The minister produced newspaper
clipping, describing n man who was
going about the country, pretending to
be first one lord and then another. The
writer had very well described Lord
Sumner.
''What do you think of it,
judgep" the minister asked when
the jurist had finished reading the
paragraph.
81 think, sir, that the writer may be
correct, but that he cannot mean Lord
Sumner"
"Judge. ! am sorry to see that you

CHAPTER Nv.
Rose and Lord Sumner sat in the
parlor. Evening had come and the
'chatterjacks" were singing.
"Rose."
The girl looked up. Lord Sumner
took her hands. 81 used to think l
could never love again, but l love
you"
.'Love again. the girl gasped.
"Did you ever love beforep"
"Yes, was once married. My wife
died two years ago. Since then i
have been a wanderer."
"Why you said that you came here
because you were overworked.
Yes, trouble imposed great labor
upon me; but let all that go. am
entering upon new life."
The girl remained silent. He fond
ly gazed upon her. Rose, you are
dearer to me than all the world. II II

room. The situation was explained
