Another Boy for the Pen.

Yesterday before the criminal
court at Portland, shivering,
.friendless lad of seventeen, took the
stand in front of Judge Stearns for
sentence. He was the convicted
leader of the quartette of youths
who robbed the safe of G. Aurata &
Co. In sentencing the stockingless
boy to the penitentiary for one year
the Judge expressed regret that he
should be compelled to associate
with such hardened criminals as he
will find in the penitentiary still,
he said that Wallace was old enough
to know the penalty of violating the
law and he could do nothing i'll the
premises but perform his duty.

WHEN NIGHT COMES.

The children come home when the sun goeth
down,
When the sun goeth down to his rest
In night-robes of crimson and purple and gold,
And with clouds ctsidGd low on his breast
They slip thro' the sate THAT old Time leaves
ajar, ~
For the day as St.hastcneth by,
And closely they nestle up close to my heart
When the shatowy night draweth nigh.
The children come home when the day 10th
dead
On his bier Of pale. purple mist,
And when his white face by the gathering dusk
And the trcmuIouS starlight is kissed.
They reach out Their wee, dimpled fingers tc
mine;
On nv old wrinkled face there doth lie
The soft, cllnsing pressure OF warm baby lips
When the shadowy night draweth nigh.
Nv darlings come home in my desolate age
From the land of the sweet long ago;
They creep in my arms with the old baby touch
And with lispng words, tender and low,
They soothc the hard pain OF my poor mother
heart,
and they check every grief-burdened sigh
With songs OF the sweet cradle time that shall
be

riding close to the barbcd-wire fence,
a rabbit suddenly sprang up almost

half-broken colt, SHE'D quickly,
stumbled, and, in some inexplicable
manner, fell against the barbcd fence.
The rotton blackberry post gave way,

An hour later, in spite of the biz

drawing to close before he could
limp as far rs the little hay-thatched
stable.
The work of the two claims fel
heovily upon little Jim, but he struG.
gled along manfully with it. JOSH
stock was driven over to Sans claim,
and the other homestead deserted fol-
the time being. Some of the furnit-
ure was brought over and the unin-
habited shack looked forlorn, indeed
Just after Josh had successfully &C
complished his first trip to the stable,
and after rubbing the noses of the
horses and giving the heifcrs a 'nub-
bing' apiece, had returned to the
house. there came u noise at the d DOR
and Hank Bird, unbiddcn, strobe in.
Rid over ycre to put you on yer

hearers had been several rods instead
of scarce a dozen feet away. Gov

That's fact, reckon Josh an

But I'm in a dickens of a fix. What

claim? Jim could go, but he has to be

"b but I'm needed at home. Inspector

stock. an I'll dropin agin in the morn

Little jim had disappeared, but as
Hank Bird left the door the boy rode
up to it, mounted on Sans pony. A
few moments later, he was on the way
to Josh's claim. The pony galloped
briskly along. and the air of the late
autumn day was bracingly cool. just
rs he came in sight of the claim shack
around the slope of the mound, Il
moving figure, just coming over the
rise to the northwest attracted his
attention. Although u considerable
distance away. the boy was certain
that the figure was not that of one of
the neighboring squatters. Hi, man.
ner of walking, and some popularity
of the cut or color of his garments
told that 1t was the inspector, Lit
tie Jim was sure, but what was the
meaning of his walking over the
prairie so far from town? Jim con-
cludcd that he must have left his con-
veyance at Hawley's claim. a co,,ple
of miles OF so beyond the rise, and
was proceeding on foot. perhaps, for
exercise.
The pedestrian was somewhat near
er the destination of both than was
little Jim. but brisk gallop on the
part of the pony would alter matters
and land the boy there many minutes
before the arrival OF the other, who
