On sudden the wind is awake,
And the orchard IS showing
In clouds from the apple-boughs
The white petals are blowing;
The pcase are ready 10 bloom,
And the clover Is growing
SO long by her basket OF work
eIitty Neal had been sitting
That fever danced in her feet
or desire TO be fitting;
And her grandmother close at her side
Was asleep at her knitting
An, what II q lad at the gate
For your coming were waitlng2
II the May were Just at its prime,
And the orioles matingi
Should maiden with love IN her looks
BE too long in debatlngi
As still as q bird from the bough,
She Ia gone from her station.
Poor win has been waiting so longi
And to wait is vcxation."
Two hearts at her coming beat high
With loving citation.
SO kisses and true.lovers' VOWS
And white petals were showing
At the gate Of the orchard that day;
Then back TO her soSing;
And her grandmother, waking at last,
Never knew Of her going.

fused, indeed, in a most insulting man
ncr, to pay his board, but who, after
being threatened by tho law, and by a
certain enormous policeman who knew
the widow quite well, consented to give
her his watch. This Mr. Sam Ttaines
could be found on Madison street, near
Robcy.
Broomberry found the harnessmaker
drunk and communicative. lie got the
watch Of certain pawnbrolker and
would neglect his work 10 go and show
Broomberry the place.
"oh, no. | can find It easily enough"
said the visitor, taking down the num-
Der.
The pawnbrolScr remembered the
watch, and, turning TO his books, said
that IL had been sold to him by one II.
j. Miles, 420 RoclSland street
Broomberry started out To look for
the street and soon discovered that
there was no such place. lie returned
to the pawn shop.
"The fellow that sold you this watch
must have come by IL dishonesty" he
said TO the broker.
VERY likely, sir. We have no means
OF finding out, you know. All we can
do Is TO take the name and address or
what we suppose TO be such"
Eyes, that's true, | suppose. but do
you think you'd know the man II you
were to see him again2'
"Yes, think So"
"IIave you ever seen him since he
sold you the watch?"
mo, think not"

bacl, end Of the place.
Good; but do you know where he
can be found?"
III don't know where he stays, but
have seen him go up into gambling
house"
"Well, now, II you will go with me
and point him out, | will pay you well
for your trouble"
Every day for four days the boy went
with Broomberry and stood near mar
row stairway on Clark street, and just
as they were about to leave the place
on the evening OF the fourth day the
boy clutched Broombcrry's arm and
said:
That's him going up now
IAN right Here" lie gave the boy
five dollars.
Broombcrry went up into the gamb-
ling den; he closely studied the man
that had been pointed out The fellow
| lost his money and went down. Broom
berry followed him. lie went To a sort
/ OF hotel ON Canal street and Broom
| berry kept him in view. lie went into
/ the bar-room and sat down to table.
Broombcrry approached him, ind scrcet'

"Will you please pardon me II ask
you few qucstions?'
81 don't know whether will or not,
the fellow growlcd, hut Broombcrry

~ am about TO write a little history,
said he, land think you may he able t,

The fellow jumped up, knocked
Broomberry down and disappeared
through n back door. When the his
torian got up and brushed himself HI

The fellow was brought back and then

a GREAT RUIN.
what IL Loft Of tho Magnificent Temple
Of HAL,


There rises huge wall seventy feet
high, inclosng u square court OF which
the side is 7i0 feet long, Part Of the
wall, having fallen into ruins, has been
rebuilt from the ancient materials; but
the whole of the north side, with its
beautiful pilastcrs, remains perfect.
As the visitors enter the court they
stand still in aStonishment at the eN-
traordinary sight which meets their
eyes; for here, crowded within those
four high walls, is the native village OF
Tudmor. II was natural enough for the
Arabs to build their mud huts within
these readymadc fortiiications, but the
Impression produced by such n village
in such place is indcscribably strange
The temple, so TO speak, is eaten out
at the core, aud little but the shell re-
mains. But here and there iluted
Corinthian column or group of columns,
with entablaturc still perfect rises In
stately grace far over the wrctched
huts, the rich, creamy color Of the lime
stone and the beautiful holdings Of the
capitals contrasting with the clear blue
of the cloudless sky. The best view of
the whole Is TO he obtained from the
roof of the naos, which, once beautiful
and adorned with sculpture, is now all
battered and defuccd and has been met
