A MEMORY.

Out Of the leafy twilight, hearken! again
and gain,
r,akinc the thirsty noontide, falls the me-
loiious rain
Of the wood thrush whore, In the coolness
and greenness. he sits apart
And Doct-ike gives to the silence the
wealth of his atHuent heart.
The shepherd that stands on the hill
slope, over his slanted crook.
Leaning his shaggy bosom, listens, and
hard by the brook
The bei-wether leading the flock pauses
moment to hear,
DimIv aware of the sweetness breathed In
his sluggish ear
flushed are the whispering leaves. and the
waters that softly creep
Der the pebbles that gleai:i in the shadows
murmur as If in sleep.
And the frog on the ooZy marge, with iris
and reeds overgrown,
Nuf1les his voice in his throat ard lies as
still as stone.
the dusk Woodside,
To the naked sun-browned lad dabbling his
feet in the tide,
However the years may run with error and
sorrow rife.
Ye are living memory-ye are a part of
life.
The world may be swathed in vapors, or
drowned in the rushing rain,
And eyelids heavy with weeping may
watch for the dawn in vain,
Yea, uuenched in tears as of blood may be
many later joy,
But never that song from the upland,
stored in the heart of boy.

SAVED WITH a CRUTCH,
The Heroic Act of a Lame India
Boy.

boy.
We are accustomed to read of Indian
bravery under the excitement of battle,
but seldom hear of the exhibition of
any noble qualities whatever on the
part of the red man who lives de-
pendent life among the white. An
act of herOism on the part of a lame
little Indian boy in the Oregon town is
worthy of note, for more reasons than
one.
On one of the last days of last March,
two ladies of The Dalles, Oregon, Mrs.
Buchler and Mrs. Gossler, were out gath
ering wild flowers. They were accom-
panied by a little girl whose name was
Belot. On the way home the party was
passing over foot bridge across Mill
creek, the waters of which were high,
When the little girl slipped and fell in
to the stream, and was instantly borne
beyond reach by the current.
The two ladies started to run down
the bank of the stream, hoping for a
chance to rescue the child, when their
way was suddenly barred by a high and
close barbed-wire fence. They strug-
gled to get over it, but failed. Mean
time they called loudly for help.
But there was no one within hearing
except a little crippled Indian boy
named Jim Busha. He came hobbling
along on his crutches on the other side
of the fence. They asked him to go in
search of help, but when little Jim saw
the child in the stream, and how neces-
sary it was that whatever help was
given should be given instantly, he pre-
ferred to supply the help himself.
He rushed isto the whirling water
as far as he could go, and held out his
crutch to the girl. She managed to
seize it, and Jim, holding in really
manful way to the footing that he had,
pulled the child near him, took her in
his arms and brought her safely to the
| shore-Youth's Companion.

"Come on, :nen!" he said; I'VE will
search the house quickly, but will have
my kiss first" And he stepped for
ward.
Stand back!" Barbara said
Without knowing why he did SO, he
obeyed her. Something about that
1.-the, graceful, resolute figure looked
dangerous, even though it were only
girl. He hesitated but for moment,
and then took rapid step forward.
AT the same moment he saw line OF
fire suddenly spring from the embers
ca the hearth; then the huge Chin
ney, as if it would itself protect it's own
hearthstone and the girl beside it,
leaned over; there was the deatenlng
crash Of an explosion, and the chin
ney hurled itself forward.
The British officer and his men went
down as if they had suddenly met the
fire of masked battery.
Barbara, protected in great meas
ure by the huge wall of the chimney,
found to her surprise that she was still
living, and had only been hurled
against the doorway. Even in her
| dazed condition, she saw there was only
one of the men who was crawling to-
| ward the doorway. The officer did not
stir as he lay before the demolished
| fireplace.
Just then the door was pushed open
| by the rest of the boats crew, but they
halted on the threshold. Through the
blue haze of the explosion they saw
their comrades lying upon the floor,
| wounded or unconscious. Barbara's
straight, girlish figure was outlined
| through the smoke against the back
ground of the door she guarded. Her
face, pale and wan, yet firm with cour-
| age, and resolve, confronted them
through the haze. Even as they looked,
piece of the chimney, which had been
lcosened by the explosion, but which
had not as yet given way, fell with IA
crash at their feet.
The peculiar character of the explo-
sion, the condition of their comrades,
the loss of their officer, and, last of all
| the mysterious look of girl alone fac
ing them, caused a strange dread to
| tiect) oNcl tilC
and, as if to heighten it, there came the
sharp crack of rifles now close at hand.
\ panic seized them, and their cry was
Back to the boats!" Lifting their
fallen comrades, they rushed out of the
door, and the house was again free
| from intrusion.
| Barbara ran to the window and
looked out. She saw them retreating
hastily toward the boat, while, even
now and then, from behind some bush
or bowlder, came the report of gun
as the farmers, who had come to help
her, fired.
| She saw them at last reach the boat.
She saw the boat return to the frigate.
She saw the frigate weigh anchor.
Then, with a wild sob, she ran to her
sisters room and fell fainting across
the bed.
There her uncle found her, beside the
sister she had protected.-Leslie's
