Precocious Youths.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 9.-During the past
month repeated attempts have been
made to burn down the national stock
yards In east st. Louis and the fires
started by incendiaries caused consid-
erable damage to the pens and sheds,
but were put out before the flames had
communicated to any of the large
packing houses. The perpetrators of
these outrages remained unknown
until last Tuesday night, " hen John
Colley, the night watchman at the
pork racking house. discovered several
boys attempting to set the house on
fire. The incendiaries fed at his APP
proach, but he pursued and caught
one Of them, who proved to be his
own son John, IA years Of age. Yes
terday the father took his boy to the
president and made him confess. The
hoy acknowledged that he and two
other boys named John Reed and
Alfred Hopkins had kindled fires on
June 7th and August Ind, which re-
suited in loss of $4,000. The boys
say they made their attempts to burn
down the yards because they were re-

Last delivered With such force that it sent
the lumpy fellow to the grass, where he lay
vanuuished, Brent standing over him with
fists still clinched, and burning it seemed,
for little more.
That vas sixteen years ago. John Done,
Junior, was nov rather bulky young man,
with a white aattsce, very small shrunken
eyes, smile which expressed marrow
mind satisfied with itself, and unpreposess
ing manners His habits, too, had not
been the best and it was knoRn in Kettle,
well that he was, in his sly way, a man OF
dissolute habits. He had now been absent,
off and on, for nearly four years; but when
he returned home he happened to hear of
Sophia Temple aud her little affair with
Percival Brent By curious chance he
had met Brent in Australia himself, and al
though outwardly civil to MIN, he remem-
bered With grudge the thrsshiDg OF years
gone BY; for his nature was of that sluggish
sort, where revenge burma long and suilen-
", like fuel in slow conclusive stove.
When he came home and heard about So,
phis, the thought struck him what nice
girl she was, and what g fine thing it would
be TO marry the woman for whom his for
mer foe was working for now in another
hemisphere He pondered. His eyes lit
with their halt.snimsl CLEAN. He said:

women for pleasure. Had they even been

twenty excuses might have been urged on

his own. She had kept her vow and had
found the 10y Of her life in keeping it. If
any doubt of him had crept into her mind
at times she would have rebuked il instant
sneously With her whole soul morning,
noon aud night, and with almost religious
pupctuslity, she had cherished his memory,
encircling it with her warmest memories,
and her purest prayers. And here he was
