He's trying still to frighten me-"
thought Captain Cushing, inwardly
amused. Then he saru: Dear, dear me
you don't mean it? Let US go and see if
the poor fellows dead"
'T'm feared he is" answered the man,
soberly, as no turned and accompanied
CAPTAIN Gushing towards the asylum.
The man spoke no more as they walked
somewhat quickly through the wood.
AS they emerged Captain Cushing noticed
DR.. Madden standing bareheaded and in
evening dress, few steps from the end
of the path. talking excitedly to four
warders. When the group of men no.
ticed Captain Gushing and his companion
they started violently, and several of
them seemed inclined to run away. but
were checked by muttered order from
DR.. Madden. At the same time Captain
Cushing's companion suddenly halted.
Captain Cushing, not knowing well what
to do, did the same.
"Hillo, Cushing" cried out DIR. Mad
den in peculiarly jovial way, Il didn't
expect to see you tonight"
This speech startled the Captain, as he
knew it was utterly contrary to the
truth. He noticed, to his further sur
him he was looking at his companion,
and also moving with over-acted nom
chalance but great rapidity towards them.
Before Captain Cushing could gather
his wits to reply, DR.. Madden was close
to HIM, and the next instant, without a
word of notice, he had sprung forward
and seized with both arms the strange
man. In moment the two men were
on the ground, struggling fiercely. DR..
Madden was fine, athletic fellow, but
his antagonist was more than a match
for him. In the fall he had contrived to
get grasp of the Doctors throat, and, as
he shut his strong fist, the young physi-
clan gasped for breath. Captain Gushing
realizing his friends danger flung away
the revolver, and, Selling the strangers
hand, twisted his fingers from his throat;
the man then turning from DR.. Madden
for moment struck Captain Cushing a
terrible blow in the face. Then the ward
ers, who had, until now, seemed paralyzed
with fear, recovered themselves, and,
dashing upon the stranger, who had
struggled to his feet, overpowered him
and carried him away
DR.. Madden rose from the ground COW
cred with dirt, and bleeding at the mouth
and throat. AS he wiped the blood away
he gasped out:
''How did you do it, Cushing?"
do WHAT"
bring that fellow in! He has shot a
man already, and we thought that since
he'd got that id revolver he would do
for three or four more before we'd cap
ture him. He's a harmless fellow as a
rule, but old Grinley riled him half an
hour ago in some way or other, and he
suddenly went foaming mad, and chased
the old boy into his own house, where
Grinley locked himself in some cupboard
or other. There, unfortunately, the lu-
matte, while rampaging about Searching
for him, found the revolver. and, after
wounding q warder who tried to stop
him, he escaped into the wood, where
you found him. How did you bring him
out?"
IL thought it was a plan of Grin
ley's," muttered the amazed Philip.

TENDERNESS.

That love, we cry, is crueller than hate.
And then, ah me, when love has ceased to

Our broken hearts cry out for tenderness!
We long for tenderness like that which hung
About us, lying on our mothers breast;
4 selfish feeling, that no pen or tongue
Can praise Alright, since silence sings its best,
y love, as far removed from passions heat
As from the chilliness of us dying lire;
a love TO lean on when the falling feet

In youths brief heydey hottest love we seek,
The reddest rose We grasp-but when it dies,
God grant later blossoms, violets meek,
May spring tor us beneath LIES autumn

God grant that some loving one be near to

Our weary way with simple tenderness.
