AT RANDOM.

men through durham 5 streets there passed
A man who looked like COLONEL JOB
He'd failed to read TFE DAILY GLOBE.
They had quarreled. He had forgotten the
days when he walked arm in arm with herand
told her all his plans-of how he wished to
some time be great of how he would have her
a home and of how they would travel and of
how they would do good. And she walked
confidingly at his side her mind looked into
the future and her eyes looked into his manly
face. And she had forgotten that-how soon
we all f~orget-and Anger held her. too. in a
vise-and they quarreled.
She was willing to go-aud he was eager that
she should.
1t does not take long to do a rash thing. A
coveted triumph is the hearse CT regret. He
said that she could remain and that he would
leave-that he would go out into the world
and see some happiness-that he was misera-
BILE aud if she was he did not give a tinker's
dam.
And he left. But as he left she locked upon
him and said in words which he yet hears and
which will never be silenced until death does
its part, But GEORGE, you will love me when
| am dead
And he made no reply.
1t was time and almost worlds which sepa-
u IilCl1s bbt cIIuSSlc dIlu IHSItI-
after failure and after sickness, after weary
days and after dreary days with heavy heart
and bleeding conscience, GEORGE concluded
that he would return and would love her. aye,
as he never had before, and not wait for Death
to bring that which he should have done al
ways.
::::::::
And he returned.
With light heart-always so light when one
proposes something good and grand, he walked
to the home where they had lived. and he
asked for MINNIE.
It's the old story-tOld so Often-0h. so
often. MINNIE, they explained to him had
been dead for some eight months-and her
grave was at the home where he left heri in the
bloom of womanhOod yet in the blight of sOr-
row.
::::::::
Ten thousand curses upon me- he cried in
despair-'damn a fool and damn a man who
tears and brushes and smites a wOman's love.
Show me the graveyard by the gods I will
fulfil her prophecy.
::::::::
The winds were moaning and grOaning-the
rain was falling in sheets of slect and the night
was bitter cold. But to the little mound he
went, and there where in that cold and silent
tomb was all he loved on earth-and she for
ever gone from him and from all others whom
she loved, he p~itifully cried, yes, MINNIE-I
love you when you are dead-I loved when you
were living. Hove you nOw-I loved you then.
But what's the use? Beneath the sod you
sleep your sleep-yOiceless, cold and motion
less. Can you see me through these lowering
clouds as you look down from heaven-and if
you can, oh. MINNIE do you forgive me and
will you pity me.
And the story is that COLONEL JoRpAN'S Red
Polar Bear came along and Chew d GEORGE
up in to
- Mince Meat.
May he Resqattin ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
THE END
The measure passed by the last con-
gress admitting two steamships of for
eign construction to American registry,
conditioned upon the company owning
them having two or more steamships of
at least equal size and speed built in
American shipYards, has been justified
by the results. The Paris and the New
York, sailing under the American flag,
have been doing as large a business as
before and the International Navigation
company has carried oct the condition
imposed by congress by entering into a
contract for two new steamships that will
be as large and as fast as the Paris and
New York. But the company will not
stop with this. 1t has entered into con
tracts with the government to furnish "a
weekly mail service between New York
and European ports which will n~ecessi-
tate the construction of five steamships
of the most approved modern type and
they will be built by American ship
builders. The expenditure involved will
be at least $4,000, 900. The International
Navigation company has just been REIN
corpOrated with a capital Of So, O00, 900.
