A MARGIN.

Ten thousand dollars is margin that's di-
vine,
But let the market drop a point and then
there's only nine.
The broker says: "Just as thought, let's
smile and call 1t fate.
She'll bloom again." but bloom she don't-by
three o'clock it's eight.
They take the drink, say "egad," and put
their trust In Heaven.
And watch the market slump and slump un-
I'll there's only seven.
They spread reports and rumors start, spring
all the well-known tricks,
But mary good" with heavy hearts they see
1t drop to six.
Faint and sad and sorrowful and hardly half
alive,
The little lamb beholds the stake reduced 10
only FIVE.
He says that Wall street is fraud, votes ev-
erythlng bore,
And thinks he'll quit quite satisfied to get
away with four.
Now, mad with rage, he wildly swears tho
broker he will sue;
The broker smiles ghastly smile, the mar
gin drops to two.
They wait some more. but o, alas!-before
the day is done
The bears get in their nendish work, and
down 1t fiops to one.
Disconsolate he kicks, and says the racket
takes the bun,
He's busted flat-for word is brought OF mar
gin there is none.

But didn't. I edged towards him,
ashamed, and yet not quite ready to ac-
knowledge 1t to him, and all Of sudden
be disappeared. reasoned that he had
gone up the hill to the village, and that
his pretending to want to go to R.
was all trick to beat honest men.
When you reason that way the heart
grows hard pretty fast, and you feel a
bit revengeful. We talked the matter
over-four or FIVE Of us--and the con-
cluslon was that the boy would die On
the gallows.
Well the train came along after o
while; and 1t was moving away, after a
brief stop, when a piercing shrek, fol-
lowed by shouts and calls, brought US to
stop.

who was to end his days on the gallows.
He had crept under the coach to steal

having only few minutes to live-his
face as white as the snow-banks-his
eyes rowing from face to face-his lips
quivering as twenty men bent down and
spoke words Of sympathy.

"Elsier'
Walter Hartman's tone of sorrowful
amazement made his young wife spring
hastily to her feet. She had not heard
him come in, and was kneeling beside a
great armchair, sobbing as if her heart
would break.
"Oh, Walterr' she said, "Aunt Julia
-" and fresh burst of sobs inter.
rupted her.
Walters face cleared. 1t was not sor-
row Of her own, then, that overwhelmed
this pretty, blue-eyed darling he had
married six months before.
"Well, Elsie" he said, taking her in
his arms and caressing her, "what about
Aunt Julia? Do not sob so, dear; you
will make yourself ILL.,"
"The firer' said Elsie, keeping her
sobs somewhat more under control.
you know l was very much worried
when heard of it, for could not tell by
the papers whether Aunt Julia's house
was in the burnt district or not"
For the great Chicago fire was not a
week old, and the whole country watched
for news.
"Well, dear" said Walter, kindly.
at is as bad as it can be, Walter.
Aunt Julia writes TO me that her house
was totally destroyed, her very clothing
burned up, and her insurance papers
not entirely made out. She is absolute
ly without anything in the world except
the clothes she had on. Actually fed by
charity. Oh, Walterr
Here the sobs came again, thick and
fast, and Walter could offer no comfort
but such as was conveyed by silent
caresses. After a time these were so far
effectual that Elsie could speak more
calmly.
"Now, little one" Walter said, ''tell
me why this troubles you so sorely? Do
you love your aunt so very dearly?"
"She has been everything a mother
could be to me since my parents died,
Walter. But while was with her we
were very poor. Out Of her own scanty
means she fed, clothed and educated me
until l took the situation of nursery
governess to your aunt's children, and
married you. But just before we were
married, an old friend of Aunt Julia
died in Chicago, and left her ten thou
sand dollars. When she went to claim
her legacy, she saw the house she pur-
chased, and liked it so much she bought
it, her legacy covering the expense of
house, lot and furniture, while her own
little income would support her. But,
unfortunately, she was persuaded TO
draw out her tiny fortune and invest 1t
in two lots adjoining her house. Now
everything is swept away"
''She took care Of you when you were
a childP'
"For seventeen years, Walter, deny
ing herself to feed and clothe me-"
Walter did not speak again for many
minutes, holding Elsie close in his arms.
At last he said, very gravely:
''If were a rich man, Elsie, would
not stop TO think in case like this, but
say at once Bring your aunt here But
you know, little wife, my salary, though
sufficient for all our wants, with a mar
gin for pleasure and saving a nest-egg,
is yet not large If invite your aunt
here, the difference of expense must fall
most heavily upon you, because can
