ALlTTLE HAND.

Perhaps there are tenderer, sweeter things
Somewhere in the sun-bright land;
But thank the Lord for His blessings
And the clasp of little hand.
A little hand that softly stole
Into my own that day,
When needed the touch that lloveds so muen
To strengthen me on my way.
Softer it seemed than the softest down
On the breast of the gentlest dove;
But its timid press and its faint caress
Were strong in the strength OF lovel
1T seemed to say in q strange, sweet way:
II love you and understand"
And calmed my fears as my hot, heart tears
Fell over that little hand.

over the young lawyers hands, but
it was not his own.
The assailant fled. the office was
filled with a crowd of strangers.
Lights were lit, Draper lifted in his
arms the now limp and helpless form
of the poor boy.
''Call a doctor, some one, /" he cried,
as he laid him on lounge, land
leave the office every one of you"
A policeman helped him to clear
the room. Two Others had in the
meantime captured Jim Magee; and
Draper, trembling and Mortified, bent
over the being who had saved his life
at the cost OF her own. Yes. her own;
for as he lifted thelig figure the red
wig fell off, a woman's hair uncoiled,
dropped over his arm, against which
rested woman's form, and lying
there before him, Invested OF the blue
spectacles, the queer office coat I'M
fastened at the throat, the collar
thrown away, Draper beheld the form
OF Geraldine Gilder-poor, little flax
en-haired Jerry-and marvelled that
he had not long ago penetrated the
odd disguise she had worn; and UNI
derstood why she had come to him.
The policeman kept guard beside
the door while the doctor bandaged
the white shoulder, and Jerry opened
her blue eyes and looked at Draper,
caring nothing for any other.
"You were not hurt" she said.
"Oh, am so glad! saw him take
his pistol from under his coat and |
ran and | saved you. | shall die |
suppose, but do not care, for if
live | must go away, and you will
always think me bold; but could
not help it dear. / lovedyouso that
must see you every day or be
wTetched."
"My darling" Draper said, hiding
his face in the pillow, for the doctor
had declared that she must die.
Fam your darling?" jerry said
"and will you always remember that
l never meant that you should FIND
out? Wehad an actress at our house
and that was a costume she wore. She
often made me put it on, and taught
me to talk like Jerry Pike, the char
aeter she played. She married, ant

That is how | come to have thc

"Not goodbye, Jerry" sobbeC
young Draper. ''Live for me m.
darling. Hove you, | want you 10
my WIFE,"
Then Jerry, with alittle sigh of JOY
folded his hand in hers and lay silent
But she did not die, for doctorsar
at times mistaken, and one day tn
long lost Jerry entered her aun
Dumpling's house in the pretties
wedding bonnet imaginable, an
leaning on Harrison Diapers arm.
How it all came about no one ther

"Quite Jag" was the reply.

A lady down East having become
puzzled over the word wrote to an
editor, Mr.. Dana, asking what on
earth it meant. Mr.. Dana always
takes an interest in what appear TO
be trifles to many. One Of his young
men was assigned to go back TO the
creation of the world, II necessary,
and see where ''jag" got its start.
He found in Cassells Encyclopedia
dictionary this;
Jag-1. A small load, as OF hay,
grain, or straw. Etym, doubtful.
2. A saddlebag; peddler's wal

Stormouth says:
Jag-(Gelic gog.l The nodding OF
