But he has given his word not to say
anything about it, said Mr.. Moore.
Sorry fJr that, Mr.. Moore" said the In
spector; ''but can't allow that 10 interfere
with the course Of duty"
Mr.. Moore was nonplussed. Iiecould SEQ
that the situation was likely 10 be rather
complicated.
He had no fear OF Basil having 20 suffer
for crime of which he was undoubtedly
innocent, but he could not clear himself
without breaking his word, and with a lot OF
publicity that would be eminently disagree
able.
Would you like to see Mr.. Brandreth,
Demise he asked.

explanation crave, Mr.. Moore"
II am afraid he Is not at liberty to DO
that"
Then must wait until tomorrow"
''And not until the next day."
mo, Mr.. Moor.. dare not"
He rose up, and bowling, asked II Mr.
Moore had anything TO ask him more. On
receiving All answer in the negative he took
his leave.
As he was walking through the hall on
ceptib!e ID female beauty in rustic as well
as refined form, he stopped TO exchange
few words with her.
Fine day, miss" he said.
"Very fine, SIR" replied Phoebe.
Good news this about Mr.. Basil Bran
dreth."
ri mbe smiled.
VERY good news" she said
"And rather unexpected too. Curious
thing his going away, anyhow"
'Hc didn't 60" said Phoebe, 'he was
taken away"
"Oh, indeed" returned the inspector Il
should like to know who took him."
mo doubt you would, :" said Phoebe per;ly;
''but you wont-at least, not from me"
Come now" said the inspector, "let US,
be friends, and have a little chat together.
I've got a wife at home, but she's ailing,
and can't be long for this world. l shall
want q number two one day."
! A nd If you do, what ihen?' asked
Phoebe.
"Why, should come to Gordonfells fer
her he answered.
Would you, indeed@' said Phoebe, with

waste OF time Nobody here would allow

THEIR GOLDEN WEDDING DAY.

Just ffty years ago, dear wife,
Since you and were wed.
To-day's our golden wedding day
Where can the years have fled?
Am that shy and awkward youth?
Are You that maiden fair?
With silver threads among the curls
That once was golden hair?
1never can forget the day
That made you all my own.
Your lip like tempting cherries ripe,
Your checks like roses blown,
Your sweet eyes shining bright as stars
In fancy yet see:
And you that day than all the world
Were dearcr far to me.
And yet, dear heart, know that
Love better far to-day
Than cen loved that maiden fair
The wife that's old and gray.
And Will pray that you and /
May walk LIES golden sands
Untii we reach that better place,
The house not made with hands.

SPOILED A GREAT SPEECH.
Prepared by Gus Williams for a Watch
but Not Applicable to Cane.

DIV Gus Williams Tor q w atchJ
but Not Applicable to u Cane.
Gus Williams, the comedian, was ten
dered benefit in Boston in 1872. He
was great favorite in that city. The
benefit was to occur on Friday evening,
and along about Wednesday John Stet-
son, who was manager of the theater
where Gus was playing, approached the
comedian on the quiet and said:
Gus, my boy, your friends here are
TO present you with a watch at your
benefit next Friday evening. l didn't
want you to be broken up when they
came upon the stage with it, so thought
| would tell you, confdentally, what was
in the wind. Now you can write up a
neat little speech for the occasion and
prepare yourself FOX the ordeal" Gus
thanked Stetson heartily. He was
pleased with the idea of getting a fine
watch. He carried cheap one, which
kept good time, and this h gave away
to the property man at once, in ordar
that the presentation committee might
see that he had no timepiece.
Whe he went to his room at the hotel
that night, he wrote out pretty inn
promptu speech, in which he said that
when he gazed at the face of the beauti-
full watch he would see the faces of his
Boston friends; when he saw the hands
he would be reminded of the Boston hand
of good fellowship; the spring when he
looked at it wonld suggest the we'll
spring of friendships the chain would
bind him to Boston. etc 1t was neat
response, and he studied il carefully.
He knew that when he sprung it they
would think him q great extemporane-
Gus speaker, and he shook hands with
himself. Well, the eventful Friday
night came at last. The vast house was
packed with his nthusiastic friends. At
the proper time the presentation com
mittee filed out on the stage and faced
him. He Traced himself for the ordeal.
The chairman stepped forward and pre-
sented him with-a cane. They might as
well have hit him over the heal with it,
as he was unable to speak word / os

The secret OF Basil's expected return leap

Ii.
The news reached the ears OF the inspec-

OPPORTUNITY.

Master OF human destinies am I!
Fame, love and fortune on my footsteps
wait
Cis.es and fields walk: l penetrate
Deserts md seas remote and passing by
Howell and mart and palace, soon or late
! knock unbidden once at every gate!
II sleeping, wake; if feasting, rise before
turn away. 1t is the hour of fate,
And they who follow me reach every
state
Mortals desire and conquer every foe
Save death; but those who doubt and hest
tate
Condemned to failure, penury and woe,
Seek me in vain and uselessly implore,
] answer not, and return no more!

The old fashioned knocker is being
restored to its former prestige Ultra
fashionables are having them placed
upon their big front doors. Happy the
people who possess an heirloom in the
shape of an old colonial knocker-a lions
head with ring in its mouth CT pair of
clasped hands. Such knocker will be
a social certihcat, akin to that of old
china and mahogany sideboards. Ran
sack your garrets and zee if you can't
find grandfather's knocker and have il at
once take the place of that modern
abomination, the front door bell.-[New
