It's an even three minutes walk
from Johnson's place to Haley's
house, but that morning Haley and
Jimsey covered the distance in less
than half that time. When they
arrived at the house Haley saw that
the front door was open. As he
entered the dark passage he heard
a woman sob, and when he turned
the knob of the door opening into
the rarlor his hand trembled. He
found his married sister and Name
Madigan seated on the red plush
sofa. His sister was crying as though
her heart was breaking. Name
Madigan had her arm around her
and was trying to comfort her.
'Wot's yer bawlin' fer, Mag p
said Haley, in a low, tense voice.
'Is der anything de matter wid Ka.
tie and Jennie p
But Mag's only answer to his
question was an incoherent burst
of sebs. Twice she tried to speak
but each time her voice failed her.

She had laid little Katie's pulse
less form on the bed herself, and
wondered at the time what Haley
would do when he came in. But
now she knew and tears came into
her eyes. She saw him kneel down
by the side of the bed ahd rest his
head on the rumpled pillow. So
close was his face to that of Katie's
that his hot breath caressed her
wax-like cheek. After a time he
raised his head and saw Jimsie
looking up at him.
Jimsie began to whine, but for a
time Haley gave no sign that he
heard him.
At last he lifted the dog in his
arms and walked into the parlor.
This time he closed the door on the
chamber of death.
Then he drew from his pocket
the money he had won at Johnson's
and counted out $40.
Name Madigan,' said the dry
eyed man, will yer take desc forty
plunkers over ter Jerry Maloney's s
wife an tell her dat der is de mon
ey for her old woman's ticket from
Dublin. An, Name, tell her dat
Jerry gave it ter me to keep, cause
he was fraid he'd spend it on booze.
WATT said Name, Il jest want
to go to see her for a minnit.'
She went into the back room, 4,
closed the door, and taking the
bnnch of blood red roses that her
new mash had given her the night
before from her belt, she laid them
on Katie's breast.
IF yer know wot's happening
down here, Katie she murmured,
yer must be happy, cause he is ac-
tim just like der guy did in de play
l took in de udder night
As she passed through the parlor
on her way to take $40 to Mrs. Ma
loney, Name saw that Haley sat by
the side of his married sister, but
his eyes were turned to the picture
of little Katie's dead mother. Jim.

THE ATHEIST.

There lived a man In our town.
Who In his day had won renown.
He said there was no Heaven or Hell:
While we were. twas but 10 dwell
A short time on this place called Earth,
To have our fun. nor count our worth.
Let's up and away, for tomorrow we die y
Was always the tone of the Atheists cry.
He wrote a book. and tried 10 explain
That Religion was false; the principal aim;
Ty believe In Heaven we cannot sees
Or Hell all fireg-it could not be.
Thus teaching and living the life OF devil,
His days spent in idlinR. his nights tr revel.
Ne'er thinking of dying, but the harm he
could do;

He continued this way until ne grew OH.
But on one ane day he caught bad cold,
Which weakened him 80. from his feet to his
head,
At East he was forced TO take to his bed;
The doctor called in. said he'd certainly die;
The Atheist on hearing IL, said ne would try
To teach but the truth. so far he had lied,
IL spared, but too late, he sank back and died!

HAD TO AWAIT Ills TURN.-In
the days of General Sam Houston
dueling was much more common
than now.
After removing to Texas, Gen.
Houston happened to give offcnse
to a political opponent. who felt his
honor disfigured to such an extent
that he sent challenge to Hous-
ton. The bearer of the challenge
was received with courtly civIlity.
He handed the written challenge to
Gen. Houston, who read it, and,
taking up his pen, wrote something
across the back Of the folded paper
and placed it in a pigeonhole of his
desk. lie then went on to enter
tain the bearer of the challenge
with the pleasant conversation for
which he was noted. After a time
the man began to grow impatient,
and. reminding the general Of the
challenge, asked him il he was go
ing to reply.
'Oh, yes,' said Houston, Il am
going to reply.

TALES OF The TOWN.
SKETCHES FROM EVERYDAY LIFE.
IN PARADISE ALLEY.

This happened while the morn
ing of Sunday was yet young and
the the chimes in a neighboring
church tower filled the alley with
a flood of tender melodies.
Haley raised the window of the
little front room over Johnson's
corner place and looked out. A
single glance told him that Para
disc was all but deserted. In fact,
the only living creature he saw was
Jerry Maloney, who had just come
out of Johnson's private entrance
and was making his zigzag way down
the alley. Haley watched Maloney
until the latter reached the bend
and disappeared. Then he lower
ed the window, drew down the yell
low curtain, and returned to the
green topped table that stood in
the center of the room. Seated
around that table were the two Nc
Closky boys and sJohnsen's aar-
tender. In front of each man lay
stack of carefully guarded poker
chips. But when Haley resumed
his place in the game it was easy to
see that he had been winning. IL
front of him were forty whites,
thirty reds, and twenty-nine blues.
In Johnson's game the whites are
worth 25 cents apiece, the reds so
cents, and the blues an even dol
lar. This meant that the chips in
Haley's pile were worth exactly S54.
When he had sat in at IL o'clock
Saturday night he bought IS worth
of chips from the banker. He nev-
er posed as lightning calculator,
but he knew that forty-nine of the
fifty-four dollars in his pile was
velvet And all this velvet had
become his less than twenty min
utes before, when he had beat Jer-
ry Maloney's three aces with his
four queens. For these four queens
that Haley held not only won him
the pot, but they put Maloney out
of the game.
1t had done Haley world of good
to break Maloney, for he and Jer-
ry had been on the outs for almost
month. But the little speech
that Maloney made when he drew
back from the table after that last
Jack pot had been decided made a
most unpleasant impression on Ha-
ley. Even after Maloney had left
the room and Haley had swallowed
the -four fingers of Johnson's 'pri-
vate stock the every word that the
loser had uttered fingered in Ha-
ley,s befuddled memory. And as
he left the window and returned to
Lis seat at the table he kept repeat
ing them to himself.

Before any one could make reply
to those words of Maloney he had
made Johnson's drowsy coon un-
lock the door and let him out.

The New Army Commander.

Il began as q captain reduced TO
y lieutenant is the generals quain,
description of his entrance upon
his military career. With other
young men in Boston, when the
civil war drew near, he had taken
lessons in drill from an old French
officer named Sallinac. A sum oi
about $1,000, given to him by his
father, he devoted to recruiting q
company, aad borrowed d, 500 more
re - srrssthh--s.=:ssle Tor which, hs
gave bis note.
Company + of the Twenty-sec-
ond Massachusetts Infantry was
duly raised, and he was commits
stoned as Its captain. But on she
evening before the regiment was to
start for Virginia, Gov. Andrew
sent message to request him to
give up that commission to All old
er man. and to accept one instead
as first lieutenant of the company.
Those who were with the young
officer at the outset of his career
speak of his tireless energy as the
trait that most struck them-'his
incessant activity as one brigade
commander phrased it. For it
must here be noted that he was soon
detailed from his regiment as an
aide.de camp on the staff of Gen.
Howard in the Peninsula campaign.
'Other men let up on once in a
while, said one OF his associates,
'but he kept at it always He was
tall, graceful young officer, and
an admirable horseman, whose res
olute, handsome face soon became
well known in the brigade, for ev-
cry battlefield, prosperous or ad-
verse, somehow yielded him lau rels.
At Fair Oaks the officer com mand-
ing the left wing Of one of the reg
lments of Howard's brigade was
killed. Stop here and rally them,'
said the General to Miles, as he
rode on with the rest of his staff +:
and very quickly the lad who few
months before had been considered
as too young to head q company
was leading half a regiment and
winning official mention for his
success.
A member of various social or
ganizations, Gen. Miles yet takes
much more pleasure in home tbaa
in club life. He has the happy art
of making strong and loyal friends.
lie has always enjoyed outdoor
sports and athlethic exercises, and
did not miss, you may be sure, be-
ing at the Americas Cup races in
September.
He is fond of horseback riding,
and appears to great advantage
mounted, but has come to prefer
the bicycle; and in his daily spins
on the wheel his daughter or his
son. lad about to enter his teens,
is often his companion. lie likes
to have pet animals about him, es-
pecially good dogs, 'and his pets, ;
as friend once said. ARE the pets
of the whole family
In manner the general is niet
anh self-controlled, but none the
less affable and courteous, and it
has been remarked that he never
refuses to see anybody who calls
upon him. Perhaps it is syste-
matte method in routine work. with
g habit Of beginning as soon as pos
sible whatever has to be done, that
gives him this abundant leisure for
visitors. The members of his fam
lily have access to his library in his
working hours, and never seem to
disturb him. He is free from af-
fectations, and perhaps no eccentri-
cities or angularities with which to

in the passageway was Jimsie.

pink-nosed terrier came into the
room, 'der's somethin' awful hap

The two McCloskeys and the bar
tender saw that Jamsie looked trou-
bled and refused to be comforted.
When one of the McCloskeys tried
to pet him Jimsie growled and
showed his teeth. And all the time
he kept the bat. - of his nile green
eyes turned OH his master. In his
eyes there was a mute appeal that
went straight to Haley's heart, but
the other men did not understand
it and grew impatient. Finally :he
