RICHARD OR RoBlN7

The man whose own indomitable will
Can calmly meet an unforeseen disaster,
And, single handed, grapple it, until
Triumphantly he crowns himself its master
Commands our admiration, and presents
IA mar superior to his accidents.
While he who yields to sensuous inclnations,
Thus dcadeang all his intellectual gifts,
Will sacrifice his noblest aspirations
AS down the stream he indolently drifts,
And they who helped him once his burdens
shoulder
Quietly pass hlm by as they grow older
The enc peers through the clouds with eagle
vision,
And gets glimpse OF life beyond the stars;
The other, with idiotic INDIGESTION,
Drifts shamelessly behind sins prison bars.
And thus in contrast these two lives are

One grandly noble, one abjectly mean.
Thus man, we learn from these two illustra-
tionS
Can by tho power of character control
The source from which shall come the inspira-
tions
That shall forever save or damn his SOUL

! use OF 1t. 1t was enough to make Z
man eat his heart out to have to stand
the kick and the cuff of every petty
| jack n office, to have rice to eat anc
water to drink, when that gorgeous
fortune was ready for him outside, just
waiting to be picked up. 1t might have
driven me mad; but | was always 8
pretty stubborn one, so just held or
and bded my time.
SAT last it seemed to me to have
come. I was changed from Agra tc
Madras and from there to Blair island
in the Andamans. There are very few
white convicts at this settlement, and
as had behaved we'll from the first,
soon found myself sort of privileged
person. Twas given hut in Hope town,
which is small place on the slopes OF
Mount Harriet, and ! was left pretty
much to myself. 1t is a dreary, fever
stricken place, and all beyond our little
clearings was infested with wild canni-
bal natives, who were ready enough to
blow poisoned dart at us if they saw
chance. There was digging, and
ditch}ng, and yam-planting, and a
dozen other things to be done, so we
were busy enough all day; though in
the evening we had little time to our
selves. Among other things, learned
to dispense drugs for the surgeon, and
picked up a smattering of his knowl-
edge. All the time I was on the look
out for chance of escape; but it is
hundreds of miles from any other land,
and there is little or no wind in those
seas; so it was terribly difficult job to
get away.
''The surgeon, DR.. Somerton, was a
fast, sporting young chap, and the
other young officers would meet in his
rooms of an evening and play cards.
The surgery, where used to make up
my drugs, was next to his sitting-room,
with small window between us.
Often, if felt lonesome, fused to turn
out the lamp in the surgery, and then,
standing there, could hear their talk
and watch their play. l am fond of a
hand at cards myself, and it was al
most as good as having one to watch
the others. There was Maj. Sholto,
Capt. Morstan and Lieut.. Bromley
Brown, who were in command of the
native troops. and there was the sur
geon himself, and two,or three prison
officials, crafty old hands who played
nice sly safe game. A very snug little
party they used to make.
''WTell, there was one thing which
very soon struck me, and that was
that soldiers used always to lose and
the civilians to win. Mind, don't say
that there was anything unfair, but so
it was. These prison chaps had done
little else, than play cards ever since
they had been at the Andamans, and
they knew each others game to a
point, while the others just played to
pass the time and threw their cards
down anyhow. Night after night
the soldiers got up poorer men, and the
poorer they got the more keen they
were to play. Maj. Sholto was the
hardest hit. He used to pay in notes and
gold at first, but soon it came to notes
of hand and for big sums. He some
times would win for few deals, just
to give him heart, and then the luck
would set in against him worse than
ever. All day he would wander about
as black as thunder, and he took to
drinking a deal more than was good
for him.

How Bachelor Quieted a Noisy Young
Nephew.

How a Bachelor Ouieted a Noisy Young
Nephew.
Bachelors are not usually credited
with much knowledge of the care OF
children, but it is evident that they
sometimes have original methods. A
middle-aged gentleman, of that state
in life, went in to see his married sister,
and found her trying to amuse her lit
tie boy, who was five years old.
Not long after he arrived she stepped
out of the room to attend to some
household matter or other, leaving him
alone with the child. The boy eyed
him obviously for some minutes. He
was spoiled child, if ever there was
one, and he had no idea of making
promiscuous acquaintance.
The bachelor tried to make the little
one laugh, but all he got for his antics
was sour look. Finally, without warn
ing, the child burst out crying. Here
was quandary, to be sure. The man
didn't dare to pick the boy up to soothe
him. His attempts in verbal line were
dismal failures. What should he do?
Finally a thought struck him. He
looked at the crying youngster, and
the crying youngster looked at him.
"Cry louder" said the man.
The child obeyed.
Louder YETI urged the bachelor.
A yell went up that would have done
credit to an Indian.
Louder STILL insisted the man, and
the boy did his best to obey.
''Louder!" fairly howled his uncle.
Il won't" snapped the infant, and he
shut his mouth with a click and was
quiet for the rest of the Youths
Companion.

lonely corridors. Suddenly it ceased,
and heard voices, and a scuf1e, with
the sound of blows. A moment later
there came, to my horror. a rush Of

have never seen a man run so fast as
that little merchant. He was gaining
on the Sikh, and could see that if he
once passed me and got to the open air
he would save himself yet. My heart
softened to him, but again the thought
of his treasure turned me hard and
bitter. cast my frelock between his
legs as he raced past, and he rolled
twice over like a shot rabbit. Ere he
could stagger to his feet the Sikh was
upon him, and buried his knife twice
in his side. The man never uttered
moan nor moved muscle, but lay where
he had fallen. I think myself that he
may have broken his neck with the fall.
You see, gentlemen, that am keeping
my promise. am telling you every
word of the business just exactly as it
happened, whether it is in my favor or
not"
He stopped and held out his man
acled hands for the whisky and water
which Holmes had brewed for him.
For myself, confess that / had now
conceived the utmost horror of the
man, not only for this cold-blooded
business in which he had been con-
cerned, but even more for the some
what fippant and careless way in
which he narrated it. Whatever pun
ishment was in store for him, I felt
that he might expect no sympathy from
me. Sherlock Holmes and Jones sat
with their hands upon their knees,
deeply interested in the story, but with

Terms of Affection.

Mamma, DEAR" is more loving
phrase to mothers ear than "Hon
ored Madam" though it would have
astonished our great-grandmothers, and
the spontaneous caresses of child are
very sweet. Yet it is possible so to err
on the side of familiarity, both with the
young and with subordinates, that the
sense of reverence for elders and superb
ors is undermined. But human nature
is slow to adopt the happy medium in
any of its ways, and elderly people de-
clare that manners are daily deteriorat-
ing. Only the very old can fully real
lie the order of things which prevailed
up to the early years of the present
century, but it has left leayen behind

lowed him like his shadow He went
after him that night, and saw him pass
through the doorway. Of course he
thought he had taken refuge in the
fort, and applied for admission there
himself next day, but could find
no trace of Achmet. This seemed
to him SO strange that he spoke
about it to a sergeant of guides,
who brought it to the ears of
the commandant. A thorough search
was quickly made, and the body was
discovered. Thus at the very moment
that we thought that all was safe we
were all four seized and brought to
trial on a charge of murder-three of
us because we had held the gate that
night, and the fourth because he was
known to have been in company of the
murdered man. Not a word about the
jewels came out at the trial, for the
rajah had been deposed and driven out

interest in them. The murder, how
ever, was clearly made out, and it was
certain that we must all have been
concerned in it. The three Sikhs got
penal servitude for life, and was con-
demned to death, though my sentence
was afterward committed into the
same as the others.
''It was rather a queer position that
we found ourselves in then. There
we were, all four tied by the leg and
with precious little chance of ever get

moat lay in front of our door, but the
water was in places nearly dried up
and it could easily be crossed. 1t was
strange to me to be standing there
with those two wild Punjaubees wait
| ing for the man who was coming to his
| death.
Suddenly my eye caught the CLINT
of a shaded lantern at the other side OF
the moat. It vanished among the
mound-heaps, and then appeared again
coming slowly in our direction.
"'Here they are? exclaimed.
"sYou will challenge him, sahib, as
usual, whispered Abdullah. Give him
no cause for fear. Send us in with
him, and we shall do the rest while
you stay here on guard. Have the
lantern ready to uncover, that we may
be sure that it is indeed the man.
'sThe light had fickered EDWARDS,
now stopping and now advancing, un-
til / could see two dark figures upon
the other side of the moat. let them

"sWho goes there? said in a sub

Friends, came the answer. I un-

enormous Sikh, with a black beard

seemed to be all in culver with fear,
for his hands twitched cs if he had the
ague, and his head kept turning to
left and right with two bright little
twinkling eyes, like mouse when he
ventures out from his hole. 1t gave
me the chills to think of killing him,
but thought of the treasure, and my
heart set as hard as flint within me.
When he saw my white face he gave
little chirrup of joy and came running
up towards me.
