After that I'll give you leave to go

everyone you meet. VIII you take five

"Down on the nail, and the promise
of another monkey if the Butterfly colt

reply.

SWEET AND TWENTY.

Sweet and twenty, and fair as the day;
fPleEty Of lovers are bound this way.
Sweet and twenty, with eyes that shine,
And lfssome curves that are rare and fine.
Dimples that play at hide-and-seek
On the tender mouth and the rounded cheek.
Never had maiden a lily-white hand
Softer ana queenlier TO command.
Never had maiden foot more light
To dance measure at morn or night
Sweet and twenty can row and ride,
Over the ripping waveiets glide;
Harness and drive and climb and fish:
Make you many dainty dish:
Talk in English and french and German.
Which the sweetest, you'll not determine
Sweet and twenty has life before her,
And all who meet will OF course adore her
But wha. shall come &c her afser all
Queen to reign, or to serve thraL?
Only the stars above can tell,
Dumb stars that hide theirSecrets well

ally looking for the key of the lock.
The old man turned and saw him and
recognized him, and lifting heavy
chair sent it crashing through win
dow. The air rushed in and nourished
the flame. Through the broken win
dow came low, dull tone of music
Annie playing in the old brewery, the
congregation singing
The Tiger shook. Annie would never
own him, would turn from him in hor.
ror. But he must do something for
her. What?
The old man was shr;eking his name
trying to climb out the high window
to escape from him The Tiger had
dragged the box from under the bed
and pitched it through The window.
He knew what he should do for Annie
the greatest thing a man could do,
though she should never know it.
The old man was clirging to the win
dow, frantically calling The Tigers
name, and eying that knife in his
hand
The Tiger went toward him. "Who
made me what l amp" he said. The
knife dropped from his fingers, and he
seized the old man, who fought him,
calling his name-calling ''murder!'
The Tigers coat was wrapped round
the old mans whitened head; he was
fighting his way through the crack
ling timber OF the hall The stairs
were gone; with his struggling burden
he took an awful leap, going through
fiery, seething hell There was sharp
pain in his eyes-a sudden darkness in
the golden fre-and he was cropping
along, fame singing him, smoke
smothering him! But he found tho
doorway; he was out in the snow-the
old man was saved!
There were voices out there-the old
mans voice, calling his name, calling
murder" as he reached his box-and
then all the world fell away.
When the world next came back
to The Tiger he knew that they had
carried him INTO the old brewery. He
was inexprcssibly weary, and felt like
sleeping peacefully; and peace had SO
long been a stranger to him.

Father OF American Law Reformcrs.

In the history of American jurispru-
dence the name of David Dudley Field
will always be associated with law re-
forms. He began as early as 1889 to
show by public utterances his interest
in the subject and issued number of
pamphlets on the subject in the years
immediately following. His work in
the preparation of codes and simplify
ing forms of procedure in the courts
has influenced almost the whole world.
More than half the states of the union
have adopted wholly or in part his
system of codes. The Australian and
other colonies of Great Britain, India,
the British Isles themselves and other
countries have adopted forms of pro-
cedure founded more or less closely
upon those which he advocated. In
international law also his influence has
been great. He prepared single handed
code of international law which was
published twenty years ago. and which
has been translated into many Ian
guages, and has had an important in
fuence in forming public opinion on
many branches of the law of nations.
