Henshall knew how to use his dukes,
and he did valiantly.
Burns, although powerful man,
knew little of the science of boxing, SC
his lighter antagonist pummeled him
well with three c four straight from
the shoulder before he got chance tc
close with him and overpower him.
just then Opper, hot and indignant,
piled through the crowd pell nell,
shouting:
Hold him! Hold the scoundrel!
Arrest him"
During the excitement the train rolled
away and the girl was gone alone, with
no one of the three men, all so anxiously
desirous of aiding her, near her.
Burns was savage. To several police
men who quickly gathered he displayed
his badge and then, summoning q cab
and accompanied ky Opper, he took
Henshall a prisoner to police headquar-
ters.
There Opper told the chief that the
painter was scoundrel who had been
pursuing and annoying his star.
The charge was so ridiculous that Hen
snail laughed aloud.
Then, in bitter tones, he turned to
Opper and said: "You fool, if you had
only come to me like a man would have
cleared up your unjust suspicious.
He then explained the case in full,
claiming only a chivalrous interest in
the girl.
He had no little trouble in proving the
truth of his statement, but he finally
did, with the assistance of Mrs. Smith.
Mutual explanations ensued, and he
and Burns shook hands and were friends,
fighting for the same cause.
II start for Chicago tonight" said
Henshall, careless of everything.
"And am with you," said Burns.
By the midnight train Burns and Hen
shall were speeding toward Chicago, de-
termined to aid Louise Neville to the ut
most Of their power.

There comes crisis in the lives of
most people when sorrows crowd SO thick
and fast that there is a dreary satisfac-
ton in the thought that "things cannot
be much worse"
So felt Edna Crawford, sitting with
bowed head and shaken nerves, on the
traingthat is bearing her onward to the
bedside of her dying father. She bitter
ly regrets ever having left him, and tor
lures herself with wild pictures of the
sufferings he may have endured at the
unscrupulous hands of DR.. Watson.

Flow on, Swift Stream,

Flow on, swift stream, amid the flowers
Flow on and dance with joy,
And tell me of the happy hours
When was yet a boy.
| watched thee with the loved ones then
Now all alone l come again
To wander by tho river;
And am old and they are gone,
But 1t unchanged is gliding on
AS young and bright as ever.
Unchanged 1t seems, yet who can stay
The waters ceaseless motion2
The little waves Of yesterday
Today have reached the ocean;
Unmarked, unmissed, they swiftly fly;
Unmarked, unmissed, we. too, must die
And leave the mighty river,
Where youth and joy and love and strife
And all the various modes of life,
Flow on unchanged forever.

Today and Tomorrow.
If Fortune with smiling face
Strew roses on our way,
When shall we stoop to pick them up?
Today, my love, today.
But should she frown with face of care.
And talk of coming sorrow,
When shall we grieve-if grieve we must
Tomorrow, love, tomorrow.
If those who wronged us own their faults
And kindly pity, pray;
When shall we listen and forgiven
Today, my love, today.
But If stern justice urge rebuke,
And warmth from memory borrow.
When shall we chide-if chide we darei
Tomorrow, love, tomorrow.
Ii those to whom we owe debt
And harmeeunless we pay,
When shall we struggle to be just7
Today, my love, today.
But If our debtor fail our hope,
And plead his ruin thorough,
When shall we weigh his breach of faith
Tomorrow, love, tomorrow.
II Love, estranged, should once again
His genial smile display,
When shall we kiss his proffered lips2
Iouay, my love, today.
But If he would indulge regret
Or dwell with bygone sorrow,
When shall we weep-if weep we must
Tomorrow, love, tomorrow.
For virtuous acts and harmless Joys
The minutes will not stay;
We've always time to welcome them
Today, my love, today.
But care, resentment, angry words
And unavailing sorrow
Come far too soon If they appear
Tomorrow, love, tomorrow.

GEMS IN VERSE.
So Runs the World Away.

"Give me but gold" the h, ggar cried,
"And the world shall blossom and bloom
As it has not done since tho Eden days
Were brought ont of chaos and gloom!
l will drive gaunt hunger from OF the earth
The poor into plenty shall have a new birth.
The heavy hearts shall have cause for mirth,
And in pleasure shall all abide"
And a message came in legal lore,
"He is dead and his wealth is thine"
He signed the papers and got the gold.
And in velvet sat at his wine;
The winds without howled shrll and cold;
In rags and tatters a woman old
Came begging, for hunger had made her bold,
And he spurned her from his door

He Used to BE n Dentist,

Michael Cohn is barber and he used
to be in the dental profession. Some
time ago woman went into his place
and had him extract tooth. The
woman was in the employ of the State
Dental society, and Cohn paid fine of
fifty dollars, imposed by Judge Fitz-
gerald, in the court of general sessions,
for illegally practicing dentistry.-New

not know YOU, sir,

not know you, SIR
She had no need to say any more.
Burns had been just little neglectful
or else Henshall never would have got
as near her as he had. But the big de-
tective determined to atone for his
neglect.
He applied fist, boot and his magnif-
cent strength to the painters anatomy,
and rushed him through the Car like a
whirlwind, and out on the platform.
Henshall was not a coward.
Twice had he been baffled by this
burly fellow, and now he determined to
fight him.
The scrap ensued then and there.

What easy times our fathers had; they lived a
natural way.
coearn a half dollar then they had the whole
long day.
Some fourteen hours did they have this meage,
sum to win,
The whole long, blessed day to earn half
dollar in.
How light their lot compared with ours; we
have to spurt and spin,
We who are granted but six hours to earn
twelve dollars in.
Two hundred dollars in year was all they
had to earn,
But we must earn five thousand-wil those old
days ne'er return2
And they had twelve months to earn it, four
teen hours to the day;
But we have to have vacations which steal
half our time away;
We've only six hours in the day and eight
months in the year
In which to earn five thousand--ah, too great
the strain, fear!
They had so long to earn so little, but our hard
life is such
That we have little time to work in order to
earn much.
How rich our fathers were-in time-how prod
igal and rashl
What vast amounts of time they gave for
small amounts in cash.
And how we sigh for those old days of moder-
ate events.
When one had fourteen hours in which to earn
his fifty cents;
But now we work like galley slaves, and wreck
and waste our powers
For sixty cents in sixty seconds-ah, what a life
Is ours! IS. w. Foss.

War.

Were half the power that fills the world with
terror,
Were half the wealth bestowed on camps
and courts
Given to redeem tha human mind from error
There were no need of arsenals nor forts.
The warriors name would be n name abhorrd
And every nation that should lift again
Its hand against brother. on its forehead
Should wear foreYermors the curse Of Cain.
