Here Dick bought the child some shoes
and stockings, long cloak and hood

hat lining) and, boarding the train,
they were off All through the journey
she was strangely silent, seeming too
much awed by the sudden change af-
fairs had taken to think of anything
save the hearty meal she had eaten be-
fore getting on the train.
One may imagine the Joy their arrival
at home created, and though May was
shocked by her husbands haggard face,
shedid not let that mar the merry even
ing they all spent together. And the
little orphan soon found that she was
truly welcome to this beautiful home.
The riot had been subdued and the In
dams driven farther back in the coun-
try, and peace again reigned.
SO fortnight passed, and Bet. now
Bertha, was neatly dressed and attend
ng school. Her manners had improved
wonderfully, and she was fast develop
ing into Il pretty, healthy and loving
child.
AS they sat at dinner one day Dick
suddenly asked Bertha, what was
that one thing which you said you val
ued and always kept about your,
Il have never showed it to anyone
the child answered, "but as you are my
only true friends you shall see the only
thing which / ever had to love"
So saying, she drew from her pocket q
tiny gold locket and handed it to May,
who looked curiously at it, but upon
pressing the spring she exclaimed, ''My
mothers picture. Oh, Dick, Dick, can
this be my little lost sister"
1t did indeed seem strange, but there
could be no mistake. About nine years
ago Mays mother, widow, had been
travelling with her little 4-yearold
daughter Bertha, when somehow
the child had become separat-
ed from her in the crowd and
lost Money and time had availed moth
ing, the search proving fruitless, and
about two years ago Mrs. Bentling
Mays mother) had given up and re-
moved to Europe for q year stay. The
child had probably been picked up and
put in the poor-house by someone,
where she had remained until taken out
by Mr.. Jinks, a brutal man who used
her as household drudge.
''Of course she'll stay with us and go
to school," said May, in talking it all
over that evening, until mamma can get
home"
"You see, Mamie, dear said Dick,
laughingly, lyon can't always tell.
Aren't you glad now that / had to 60
to help put down the Indian outbreak ~
And May was forced to acknowledge
that she was.

the men were still at work. The first
night he slept there he was awak-

by finding a man in the room with a
Grape mask over his face and a revolver
in bis hand. The burglar told the Judge
that he wanted his valuables, and asked
him where they were kept. The judge
was very cool, and with good deal OF
Indifference told his midnight visitor
where the plate and other things Of
value were. Meanwhile the bur

the head OF the bed was a small table,
in drawer OF which was Il loaded re-

given 10 the Judge by his father.
While Judge Brown was lying IN his
bed and the burglar was roaming around
the room he caught sight of a piece OF
jewelry on the bureau, and to get pos

man he was robbing. This was
Judges opportunity. Quick as Il
flash he pat his hand in the drawer and
pulled ont the revolver. and without

Brown and the thief gave a simultane-
Gus yell and the robber fled. Judge
Brown jumped out Of bed and ran after

burglar turned and fired. Judge
Brown, who was coming down the

noise of the firing brought out the
neighbors, but the burglar escaped. A
search showed that he had been

but Judge Brown had escaped without
scratch. A little later the man was
captured and be was SO badly wounded
that he died. So Justice Brown, like
the new senator from South Carolina,
has killed his man.

NEW YEARS REVERE

Time dug for the Old Years tomb,
And laid my dead beside ii
For the sexton gave me room).
Twas Al skeleton form of sorrow,
At last / buried away:
1t had Stalked through my souls castle,
And haunted me many a day.
And then. as pecred down deeper
saw there vet was space
For grudge that long had Swallowed
My hearts most sunny place;
And cast the blighting burden
In the grave where it belonged,
As / said, There are tateS more bitter
Than to be the one who is Wronged.
And down on the lid Of the coffin
laid vain regret,
For a time and pleasure vanished
For a day whose sun was set;
And, just as the tomb was closing,
flung in a selfish thought,
TO lie in the dark and moulder,
And perish as it ought.
And, while the bells were ringing
Their midnight chimes | said
'Since good endureIh forever,
Let the dead Year bury its dead"
And then, like 81 radiant angel
Outlined in the skies above,
With the glad New Year in his bosom,
saw the Spirit of Love.
And he spake: ''It is only sorrow,
And sin, and folly that dies;
Whatey er was good in the Old Year
In the soul OF the New Year lies.
As you stand on the grave of folly,
Look up, for the stars are true!

Made Her own SnrOul.
From q New London Letter


In the little country hamlet of Mantle,
near New London, Conn, Mrs. Wilcox,
a widow Of the late Charles Wilcox,
killed herself Tuesday by taking AGO.
mite. Mrs. Wilcox was an odd woman.
She dwelt in the upper half OF II. l..
Smiths house. and appeared to be very
cheerful. Tuesday afternoon the Smith
family heard groans, assembled to her
rooms, and found Mrs. Wilcox on the
floor dying of poison.
For several weeks the woman had
been very busy with her needle. She
was making beautiful white dress
for herself, and she added to it
q fine collar and cuffs, and
seemed to be very proud of her
creation. Evidently Mrs. Wilcox was
about to make a great social impression
by wearing her dress among her neigh
hors, but none of them knew just when
she proposed to appear in 1t. They
know now. Mrs. Wilcox had been
making the beautiful white dress for
her shroud, and that idea was what she
had been singing about as she tolled.
She left written directions saying
that she must be laid in her coffin in the
white dress, and the person that laid
her out would not forget to add the
snowy collar and cuffs to the rest of her
attire.
The reason she killed herself is found
in letter written just before she took
poison, to Miss Lizzie Sheldon, New
Haven. In it she said that voice told
her that within a year she would be an
inmate of an insane asylum. To avoid
that fate she decided to die.

A Dog with IL Memo ry.
From the Quarterly Review.

The following remarkable atall events,
as feat of memory, was told me by the
owner of an Irish water spaniel, the
only dog l ever knew who would per-
form tricks and was good to shoot over
at the same time. His master was out
walking with him at the beginning OF
the long frost in the year 1865, which set
in about the middle of January. He
went on frozen mill dam, and ac-
cidentally dropped his snuff box through
a little round hole in the ice. The dog
was dreadfully distressed at not being
able to get it, but was obliged to go home
with its owner, VINO thought no more
about the matter. Two months after
ward, when the frost had gone, he and
the dog passed by the same place. The
dog paused opposite the spot where the
box had disappeared, seemed to think
intently for minute, then plunged in,
Owed to the bottom, and returned with
the snuff box in his mouth.

DIR. BUTLER KNOCKED OUT
In n Fight With w. II. Plunley About
Civil Suit.


A scrapping match occurred yestcr-
day at the real estate Office of London
& Thomas between j. II. Plumlcy, Il
member of the firm, and DR.. M. S.
Butler.
The difficulty grew out of civil suit
heard in the magistrates court ycster-
day morning. DR.. Butler was the win
ner in the case, and Mr.. Plumley car
ried tho matter to the Hastings Court.
1t seems that DR.. Butler entered the
Office in which Mr.. Plumlcy was seated
and offered some insulting language.
Mr.. Plumley arose and both mon began
sparring. They finally got on the
pavement, when three or four we'll
directed blows sent the doctor to the
ground. He got up, bleeding at tho
nose and mouth, saying that he would
see him when he was sober, and that
the matter was not done with yet.
A crowd collected on the street, and
about the time the difficulty was over
somebody else wanted to fight, and
dared any body to take him up. Nobody
took him up of course and the crowd be-
gan to laugh. The fighting man then
walked off and crowd dispersed after
Mr.. Plumbley came out and assured
them that the fight was over.
No arrests were made, as the cops
were not around. A much prosecuted
boot-blact reported tho fight to police
man Austin who was at Jefferson street.
That official came up but could not find
sufficient information to warrant an in
vestigation.

cut of over IA per cent. in first-class
Afares and of 10 per cent. in second

= The reason for this reduction is that
the head OF the traffic department recog-
nized the fact that the local passenger

sirous of giving that class the benefit Of
whatever reduction might be made in
