PUT UPON HIS HONOR.

A Robber Who Had Some Conscience
Left.
In 1916, when bands of outlaws were
a constant menace to life and property
in Hungary, the widow Of a wealthy
magnate was living in a lonely castle
not far from the principal route be-
tween Buda and Vienna. This lady
received one morning a polite note, re-
questing her Us provide supper at ten
o'clock that night for twelve gentle
men! There could be no doubt as TO
the character of her self-invited
guests; but she realized the f%utility of
sending to town for help, as every
road would be watched, and her
courier waylaid.
At ten o'clock that evening up rode
an armed band of twelve men. The
castle gates were thrown open, and
the mistress herself stood at the en-
trance to receive them, richly ap-
rarelel. as if to welcome honored and
invited guests. She took the arm of
the chief, and led the way to the din
ing hall.
There a goodly feast was spread,
the CdDleS ana SIDE DOdrQ De ny covered
with a magnificent display ofgold and
silver plate, the accumulation of many
generations.
The leader of the robbers started in
surprise. but quickly recovered him
self, and acted the part of a well-bred
gentleman during the feast. At its
close he said:
Madam, the happiest moments of
my life have always been the shortest.
In appealing to my honor as you have
done tonight, you have Sd we'd me
from the commission of a or ime. Bad
as | am, no one ever appea led to my
honor in vain. AS for you, " looking
sternly around with his hand on his
pistol, whoever takes anything from
this house dies"
Subsequently the name of the rob-
Der was discovered. He was an inn
poverished younger son of one of the
noblest families in Hungary. His fate
was sad enough; he was captured a
few months after the above incident,
and ended his life under the hands of
the common hangman.-Youth's Com

grimy cheek, and looked sadly at his
ragged shoes.
Teddy thought Of the promised gold
piece within his grasp, hesitated rue
fully and then made up his mind with
boyish promptness.

he said. Here's twenty cents, Joe,

Joe nodded as he rolled noiselessly
into the bushy hollow behind the rock.
Teddy dashed across the glade in the
opposite direction from which Nick
was approaching.
As he ran he took care to make
plenty of noise. and when a violent
commotion in the bushes behind told
him that his plot was a success he
gave three lusty shouts.
After that he sped along through
the trees with great leaps. yelling
loudly at intervals: Hold on, Joe!
Stop, stop!"

that he had captured. you've tricked

As o on as Teddy could get his
breath he made a clean breast OF ev-
erything except Joe's future plans,
concerning which he vas discreetly
silent.
He hoped to arouse his companions
sympathies, but Nick plainly had none
to arouse. He started off in a passion,
vowing that he would find the fugitive
if it kept him all night on tho noun
tain.
Teddy went home with a light heart.
His story won a reluctant approval
from his father, but it was otherwise
regarded by Mr.. jefferson Skinner,
who expressed a desire to have Teddy
and a stout strap in company for half
an hour.
Nick Boilers search for the runa-
way proved fruitless, and when Teddy
heard the rumble of Bill Martins

a great load seemed lifted from his
mind-Boston Globe.

Little one, lay your head on my breast
While l tell you q story. low and sweet,
OF q wonderful land where the children rest
Ere the rivers OF trouble and pleasure meet
It's a beautiful vale shut In by the hills,
Where brooks flow on over musical sand
And, answering, echo the song birds thrills.
The name of that valley Is Sunderland.
There are lambs at play on each sunny slope,
There are whispering flowers and trees that
talk:
And a silver-winged guardian angel, Hope,
Watches over the paths where the children
walk:
There the stately lily bends down her head
For the sweet caress OF a childish hand,
And the royal rose is blossoming red
In the wonderful valley of Sunderland.
All toys are there, and the sun is bright,
There is never a cloud inside the vale,
For nothing may enter OF less delight
Than the words of some wonderful fairy tale.
To that valley OF rest all the children go,
In q happy, careless, contented band;
And you will be wandering soor. l know,
Through the beautiful valley OF Sunderland.
