a little white-robed figure had en-.
tered the o0n and stolen to her .ide.
Il II sick, mamma" The voice was
low and husky. Hattie lifted the little
form from the floor aud pressed the
little cheek to her own. 1t felt hot
and dry.
a new sorrow had sprung up for the
unhappy wife. for in . few hours Helen
grew very i'll.
Hattie turned OF the gas aud glanced
ct the clock.
Halt past twelve! Oh, Charley.
Why don't you come home? What il

ALL she dared not finish the sentence
even in her own mind, for the possibility
OF such = thing as the loss of her little
love was too terrible.
@P'easo put me in my little bed,
mamma. 10 SO cold; don't XIV so. I
Is sorry to leave on and papa but I
will soo ave to do to de little angels"
What o burden lay in poor Hattic's
breast AS she laid her little one on the
snow.white bed; the little features
were drawn with pain. Each moment
she grew worse. One-<two and after,
and yet no Charley.
"Baby cannot live another hour, /
know. God. have mercy, and, il pos
sible, spare her to mel"
Hattie was now kneeling by the bed
side, holding in her hands little Helen's
fast cooling finger tips.
"Oh, God OF heayenl forgive my err
ing husband, and open his eyes to the
wrong he Is doing, for hc is walking
blindly down to hell. Forgive and
have mercy!"
As Hattie's voice died away, she felt
an arm steal softly round her neck. Il
was not little Helen's, but q strong arm
that drew her closer to its owner.
Hattie, my dear love, look ut me
once more If yon can"
Those tear stained eyes obeyed that
we'll known voice, and gazed into
Chnrley's pale face; her heart was too
full for words, but the little head lay
on her husbands bosom, and rested
there.
"Charley-"
"You need tell me nothing, dear, for
! see and know all; there lies the price
Of my sins, for Helen's spirit is in
Heaven"
"Your prayer is answered, dear. patient
wife, and with the help Ut our Maker /
shall live IN honorable life the rest of
my days"
Hattie's aims wound round
Charley's neck and . kiss sealed his
good resolution.
In q few days the child's body was
laid in the grave. The childless wife
felt that the price paid for her hus-
bands reformation was great; but she
knew that Helen's spirit was in Heaven
and where might Charley's have
been?
A newly painted law-sign Dol graced
the door Of Charley Gladwells Office.
and in . few years he was again the
leading lawyer Of Chester.

Queer Idea OF Cleanltness.

The energetic and critical New York
SIN has to say OF the present republican
administration that ''no public scandal
blurs its record. 1t Is declared to be the
c%lcancst since James Buchanan and
Abraham Lincoln" But, speaking OF
the Buchanan administration, was moi
the stealing of the United States navy
for use against the government some
thing in the nature OF a public scandal:
AS Chief Executive Buchanan was q
humbug, and his cabinet vas corrupt
enough to do its best to sell out the
country.-Cinctnn0ti Gazette.

the effect that one day Is . pious Mol
lah was riding into Smyrna on . donkey
he met the Cholera specser, who told
him that he was going into the city by
command Of Allah to kill 700 Of the
faithful. The Moilah invited him to
ride ON his donkey, and as they neared
the gates the holy man said: Il c~oninre
you, in the name Of Allah, and by the
pure faith Of = Moslem. that thou wilt
mot slay one more than the Lord has
commanded The Cholera took the
oath, alighted from the donkey, and At
once set about his commission Of
slaughter. Instead Of 700, however.
1000 OF che faithful died during the
period Of the Cholera's visitation.
When the Cholera had flushed his up.

from Smyrna, the Mollah again met him.

Amsterdam Architecture

Amsterdam, in Holland, is sometimes
called the Venice OF the North. 1t il
built upon eighty islands, and canals
How through the center of its
streets. Perhaps n Of the most OBJ
servable features Of this queer old city
il the fact that the walls of ito houses
are seldom perpendicular. They lean
outward 30 that the gables OF the
houses On opposite sides Of the
street are sometimes several feet nearer
together than the walls at the base,
One is puzzled to know whether the
builders designed to have the walls lean
forward Thus under the strange notion
that it Is = sign Of beauty or . matter OF
utility, since y projecting gable protects
the lower part OF the house from the
weather, or whether the walls, in
consequence OF resting on insecure
foundations, have settled so much ont
Of plumb rs to present this dilapidated
condition. The latter view seems
probable, since the houses are built on
pileS driven in the mud, and would be
likely to get out of the perpendicular
line in time, though it puzzles one to
tell why they should all lean outward.
II il maintained by some, however, that
. leaning structure like the tower OF
Pisa, aud those Of Bologna and others
in Italy, is an exhibition Of great skill
and constructive ingenuity, and there
fore beautiful. Any fool, they cay,
can erect . perpendicular building. but
it requires . genius to erect mi that is
ready to fall. and that looks all the
time as If it would fall and yet does
not. Nevertheless the best authorities
believe that those leaning towers arc
the result Of settlement and not Of
original design. and 80 also are the
leaning houses of Amsterdam and Rot
terdam.

Come in later" had been Assistant
Superintendent Levins' request to the
GLOBE reporter. so. shortly before mid
night, visit was paid to the Western
Union operating room. on the top floor
of the German-American bank build
ing. The click of a score Of instruments
could be heard as you neared the OPP
Grating room, and, upon entering, it
was evident that Mr.. Levins had. for
the time being, proved equal to the
strikers. He was standing cha ting to
Chief Mcconnell. The smile of victory
sutfuSed his face. and, in response to
questions, he declared the work of the
Office was well in hand. This was evil
dent to the observer. There were
twenty operators in attendance. Half
of them we're at work, while the rest.
were either talking or smoking. Mr..
Levin denied that twentv-f0ur men had
quit work. There were only eleven of
them. He continued3
''We can get on well without these men. It
is untrue that we have been running short
handed in this office We can get plenty of
men. and that we will demonstrate. / do not
expect any of the day men will go out on
strike, but, even if they do, we are prepared
to meet that exigency. We have not refused
any work tonight neither do we intend TO.
L know nothing about the brotherhood. The
reason the men were dismissed Saturday and
to-day had nothing to do with the brother
hood"
Nv hat do you dismiss them for then?''
Because the company did not want their
services. Our dull time is approaching and
rpdupInO
But is it not singular that you dismissed
merely members of the brotherhood:''
We did not know they were members of
the brotherhood. How could we? It's Sc
cret organizatiou," and Mr.. Levin smiled.
Proceeding: II cannot say whether the men
who went out tonight will be taken back or
not: but this can say. we can do without
them very easily"
ant superintendent was in MinneapO-

and took the first train for st. Paul. He
impressed the services of day men that
could be got at, as we'll as those of Man
ager Hughes, who usually presides over
the Western Union office on the ground
floor. Mr.. Levin and Chief Mcconnell
took their coats off as well, and in this
way the work was kept in hand.
Immediately after the men walked
out of the office, kilograms were for
warded to Chicago, st. Louis and other
cities. The action of the ST. Paul men
was, however, taken entirely upon their
own responsibility.
