WHAT TIME HE WENT.

What time he went to rest
His tired hands folded DER his sinless
breast,
said: 1.-The glory and the grace and light
Have left the day, and darkness holds the
night
Though a voice whispered: Doth not
God do best?"
What time he went to rest.
What time he went to rest
and his cold lips were to his mothers
preSt
With a last kiss. I said: ETERNITY
Is his, and life hath no sweet lips for met"
And still that voice: Doth not the Lord
do best?"
What time he went to rest.
What time he went to rest
For me life's sun sank down the hopeless
west
The rosy pleasures left the living dawn,
The birds were silent and the spring was
gone!
And still that voice: Shall not the Lord
do best?''
What time he went to rest.
Still, still the sunlight streams,
But ever, in the mystery of dreams,
see his mother kissing him; see
His dear arms like necklace circling me!
And evermore: "Will not the Lord do
best?'
And him at rest-at resti

with safety, but he told us nothing
further of his plans. tried OCCASION
ally to lead him to speak of his reasons
for coming to Rodneytown, but he was
reticent, and I had to be content with
the explanation given by Lamar.
Dorothy Gray came often to read to

he would say next to nothing of his
history or his projects.
Banks wrist was still weak, but his
recovery from the sprain had gone far
enough to enable him to circulate in his
old fashion among his patients, and my
duties as bis eoadjutor were ended. He
was beginning, though. to renew his
discourses about his desire to secure
partner and practically to retire, and it
was clear that he would soon make me
a direct offer. It was only fair that I
should prepare to give definite answer,
but I realized that my plans were even
more unsettled than ever. There was
a new disturbing element in the situa-
.tion. Could but foreten what Dorothy
would answer were certain question
put to her, then DIR. Banks might be
answered, in turn, so soon as he chose
to speak. But what would the young
lady say?
Yes, what would she say? Truly I
was far from sanguine. Icould find no
reason for confidence, in spite of many
soulful efforts to discover one. We were
the best of friends; we were together
daily, sometimes for hours at time;
we read together, walked together,
and drove together. We had interests
in common; in some lines OF thought
our beliefs were akin. Such things

It is possible that men exist who, in
the period succeeding the discovery
that they have undergone the mental
metamorphosis commonly styled fall
ing in love, and preceding the critical
moment when the object of alteration
confesses her sentiments Of reciprocity
or declares the wooing to have oeen in
vain, maintain their clearness Of under
standing, their evenness of temper, and
their soundness of Judgment. It is
conceivable, I admit, that such men live;
but it has never been my lot tc enjoy
the privilege of acquaintance with one
of them. I do not mean that when love
flies in at the window common sense
rushes out at the door; but do hold
that the newcomer is prone to exert,
throughout that period of storm and
stress, a semi-paralyzing influence
over the old tenant, making him sadly
untrustworthy at times when the de-
mands upon him are greatest. There
fore I regard myself as no exception to
the general rule-general, that is, so
far as my observation goes-in having
followed irrational courses and behaved
erratically during three weeks or more
of dissatisfaction, uncertainty, and
doubt. For one of them made myself

that he would return. plotting, in my

for turning his triumphant reappear-

Once caught myself reading with vast
approval summaries of famous cases in
a textbook on toxicology. The vol

terrupting my recreation, brought me
to a realization Of the Righteousness

still moments when could understand
that I was playing the fool. Perhaps,
also, the plea might be entered that at
this time I was victim of a recurrence
of my old perplexities, recent events
having served again to force them upon
me with even greater vividness than
before.
The jealous fit was ended by letter
which the late visitor sent from New

him abroad. and before the mis-

his way to Liverpool. Iheard the news
with decent effort at am appearance
of regret, and from that moment had
more friendly impression regarding
the gallant colonel.
1t had been my intention to speak of
him to Lamar, rather because of his
Brazilian interests, of which my client
might know something, than because
of his morning cruise about the chan

DESTROYED AN EYE
A Premature Blast Injuries Two Well
Diggers

Charles Strand, a laborer employed
in digging we'll on the ranch of Andrew
Hayes near Hollywood, came to the re-
ceiving hospital at o'clock yesterday
afternoon for treatment of damaged
eye, which had been injured by pre-
mature blast while at work.
The we'll had been sunk about twenty
feet when a stratum of rock was en-
countered which necessitated the use
of powder. A heavy charge was placed
in the bottom of the hole, the fuse light
ed by Strand and the workmen prepared
to retire to safe distance until after
the explosion. Through some defect in
the fuse it burned too rapidly and the
blast went off while Strand and COM
panion named Chris Falles were ntor
the mouth of the hole. Both were struck
by flying fragments of rock and knock
ed down. Falles sustained only slight
cut on the side of the head, but Strand
was hit squarely in the left eye and
laid out.
He was brought to the city in buggy
and taken to the hospital. DR.. Bryant
attended him and found that the eye
ball had been so seriously injured that
the sight was destroyed. An operation
will probably be necessary to remove the
eyeball, and Strand was temporarily
fixed up and recommended to consult an
oculist.

POLICE COURT PROCEEDINGS
Chavez Pleads Guilty to Three More
Petty Larceny Charges-Items

In the police court yesterday Teofllo
Chavez, the young Mexican shoplifter,
appeared and entered his plea of guilty
to three more charges of petty larceny
for stealing silks from dry goods stores.
He is now serving sixty-day sentence
on one count and will this morning at
10 o'clock come up for sentence on the
three latest complaints. Chavez will
undoubtedly spend long time working
for the city.
At the same hour Felix Runge, the
East Side wholesale thief, will plead to
aonther petty larceny complaint and
probably enter his admission of guilt,
as there is clear case against him.
Runge is now serving one sentence, and
makes model prisoner. AS cook he
is success .and presides over the culin-
ary department of the jail. There are
so many charges against him that If
they are all pressed it is difficult to see
when Runge will get out, but he seems
cheerful and resigned to the situation
in which he finds himself.

GUMFFENBERGEN SENTENCED.
He Will Spend the Next Eleven Months
in the City JZail.

Hugo, Baron Won Gumffenbergen of
Bransdorf, the convicted bicycle thief,
appeared in the police court before
Justice Owens yesterday morning for
sentence on two separate counts of pet
ty larceny He was asked the usual
questions as to whether or not he had
any reason to give why sentence should
not be pronounced upon him, but had
none. For the first offense he was al
lotted a fine of $3.50 or an equivalent
number of days in jail; for the second
q sentence of 1870 days straight on the
eAningang, to begin at the expiration of
the first term.
IN pronouncing sentence the justice
made a few remarks which clearly
showed the effect the evidence in the
ease had had upon his mind. He re-
minded the prisoner that he had as he
claimed come from good family. one
of education and refinement, and was
thus all the more culpable because he
was taught better and had no one but

himself to blame for his fall. When
a man stole sheep he committed pen
itentiary offense, but when he made a
business of stealing and selling bicycles
he could only be prosecuted onpetty lar
oeny charges. He was not inclined to
exercise any clemency, neither could he
take into consideration the resultant
disgrace to the family of the baron. Then
the judgment OF the court was pro-
nounced.
Won Gunffenbergen sat for a moment
as though dazed and then burst into
tears and wailings. He was led below
to Jail by Bailiff Appel. but even after
being placed in his cell sat for hours
sobbing and moaning, sometimes roll
ing on the floor in an ecstacy of grief.
The baron has made poor prisoner and
has threatened Jailer Richardson with
annihilation when he gets out. He will
go on the chain gang. Together his sem
tences amount to eleven months, lack
ing five days. so he will be a star board
er for many moons.
