These eyes had a pathetic. chiid-like
droop to them which had moved many

yourself: "There mist be some hidden
sorrow in that girls life," her lips
would curve into smile, mischievous
light flash up into her eyes, and you
would cry instead: "She never had a

He knew just how she was looking
at this moment, with her head down,

Taxed. He knew as well as if he were
sitting directly in front of her how soft
and tender her eyes, how thoughtful
her face, and he said to himself:

THE WORK OF WHISKY.
A Heart-Rending Picture of the Results Of
Drinking,

A Heart-Rending Picture of the Results Of
Drinking,
I was sitting at my breakfast table
one morning in my room at Louisville,
KY, says Colonel Alex. Hogeland, 'the
newsboys' FRIEND" when the door-bell
rang: My son opened the door and
came to the dinlng-room and said:
''There is a lame boy on crutches at
the door wants to see you. He has been
crying, Think
stepped to the door, and in a flood
of tears he asked me to go and see his
father who was in jail. Said the boy:
my father is to be hung tomorrow.
The Governor will not pardon him. He
cut my mothers throat when he was
drunk. He was a good man, and we
were always happy only when father
got drunk. Won't you go and talk and
pray with my father, and then come to
our house when the body is brought
| to us?''
went as requested and found that
the demon drink was the sole cause of
that family's ruin and desolation. The
father was hung, and when the body
was taken to that home was there.
Six worse than orphaned children were
curled upon a bundle of straw and rags,
crying with grief that would make
the stoutest heart quail. The crippled
boy, but fourteen years old, was the
, sole support of this little family. The
fathers body was brought in by two
officers. The plain board coffin was
rested upon two old chairs, and the
officers hurried out of the room, and
away from the terrible scene.
''Come," said the crippled boy, "come
and kiss papa's face before it gets cold,"
and all six children kissed the face of
that father and smoothed the brow,
sobbing in broken accents, "Whisky did
it; papa was good, but whisky did it."
Since that day vote as well as pray,
for the destruction of this arch enemy
of the little children of the land.-Issue.

me to find out, since it would explain

She looked at him interrogatively, but
he said, soothingly:

She took the little roll of paper
which he passed to her, with trembling
fingers. He tried not to watch her face
as she read it, but how could he help it?
He saw her eyelids culver. How slow
she was! In fact she was reading each
line twice over, to gain time. He could
wait no longer:
''This was with it," he said, holding
out something in his hand. Then she
had to raise her eyes, and as they met
his after a glance at the ring, the
bushes that swept one after the other
over her cheek so enraptured him, that,
throwing caution to the winds, he broke
out:
''Can it be true? love you more than
any one else ever could-but l can't
speak unless you say that may?"
A beautiful light came into the gray
eyes. With trembling smile she held
out her hand.
