TIE L,rTLE OLD CLERK.


The little old clerk lis thin and gray,
And his coat is shiny at every seam:
His hat belongs to q long-past day,
And his boots are patched, meath the

''Shabby-genteel," or scarcely that.
The passers- by dub him, with vulgar
scorn-
That little old clerk in the napless hat
The faded coat and the boots so worm

With a slight respite for meal between,
Sits writing on, in human hive,
The busiest bee 'mong the drones, ween.
Smart young fellows, in well-made suits,

eye,
AT the faded coat and the old patched boots,
And ask him if better he cannot buy.
The little old clerk takes his napless hat
From off it's peg, when his toll is DER,
Then, with patient smile, passes through
the door.
Twenty long years he clerk has been
In that office dim-yet no higher goes;
Many placed over his head he's seen
The old clerk passed by in his shabby
clothes.
The little old clerk, in the evenings gloom,
Enters his cottage, with anxious eyes;
Some simple blossoms brighten the room;
crippled form on the sofa lies.
As sisters lips to his own are pressed
(The one for whom shabby through life
he goes)-
He thanks God that he with her love Is
blessed.
The little old clerk in his faded clothes!

The attorney seemed to be enjoying

Sharpless knew then that if there were

That's as you like. He'll fight for

was, nevertheless, broad enough to
cover the whole transaction and every
one connected with it. II don't see how

we had that deed with Gates signature
we might s. and some chance of pleading
as innocent purchasers, and Gates would
make first~class scapegoat. AS it is,
there are some people who might be
mean enough to hint that we made our
title out of whole cloth. However,
that's all beside the mark. This old
fellow must be at least 65 or 70; he's
an outlaw, and he's only one ignorant
man against the whole syndicate. If

Little hiwassee-what's his name?

Sharpless rose to go back to his own
room, and Fench called to him as he
reached the door:
Say, Sharpless, you know I never
would have touched this damned thing
with a ten-foot pole if you hadn't made
me believe the man was dead. Now
you've got to stand by me; are you sure
you burned that-that deed we made?
sure you didn't make mistake and
burn the wrong one?"
The lawyer glanced back at his abiect
fellow conspirator with a frown of i'm
patience. "Fench, you make me tired.
Do you suppose I'd be fool enough to
lake any chances?'

out his threat of intimidation no one

OF Indifference was bullet-proof, he
would have smiled and said there was

now there was sting in the pleasantly
barbed by the thought that he should
never be able to refute this or any other
just reflection upon his shortcomings.

''Eh? what's that?" asked Mr.. Nor.

''That's what I've been telling you ever
since you left school. You've got your
work to do in the world, my boy, just
the same as the rest of US. I'm glad

1T is too late," said Philip, quietly
the answer slipping out before discre.
ton could shut the door.
Nonsense! Why, you've got the bet
ter part of your life before you yet"
"Perhaps; but that isn't what ]
meant. If one does the best he can from
the time when he begins to learn the
meaning of well-doing, he is only fill
ing the measure of his reason for be-
ing; and, granting this, there is no
such thing as atonement for years of
idleness."
The old lawyer put down his book to
applaud the sentiment. "Better yet!
at this rate you'll be an enthusiast be-
fore you're 30. I've often wondered if
the good old hard-working stock of
the Thorndykes would run to seed in
one generation"
'That's one disadvantage in having
had a brilliant father" Philip replied,
laughing. "People expect the son to
keep up the Family prestige, and they
lose sight of the fact that one of the
commonest results of the fathers abil-
ity is the accumulation of a fund for
the propagation of idleness in his chill

Meanwhile Helen had been making
mute little tentative movements to-
ward the door of the adjoining draw
ing-room, and, as Philip continued to
ignore them, she left the group and
went to the piano in the other room.

LOUiSlANA'S POcoHoN1As.

Reminiscence Of tho French Massacre
by tho Natchez Indians.
The Pocahontas of the early days of
the colony of Louisiana, at least so far
as devotion to the French was con-
oerned, was ''Bras-Pique'' (Tattooed-
Arm), the mother Of the Great Sun or
chief ruler of the Natchez nation at
the time of the massacre of the French
by the Matches on the 9th of Novc1n-
Der, 1929. She suspected the great con-
spiracy that was on foot among the
Natchez to destroy the French, and,
being faithful friend of the latter,
induced by repeated solicitations her
son, who was only II years old, to con-
TESS to her that he had sent messengers
to all the Indian nations throughout
Louisiana, each message bearing a bum
die of sticks, and each bundle containing
exactly as many sticks as the others.
The instructions given to the other In
dian nations were to begin burning a
stick on certain day, and when the
last stick should be consumed to fall
on the French in their vicinity and slay
them.
Bras-Pique had the details of the plot
communicated to Chepart,, the COM
mandant of the post, but finding that
he treated the warnings with contempt,
with the view of saving the majority Of
the French in Louisiana by dislocating
the plan of the conspiracy, she entered
the temple of Natchez, where the ''sa-
cred fire" was perpetually maintained,
and threw several sticks from tho hnn
die which had been, deposited in the
temple on the fire, and thus disarranged
the Natchez part of the conspiracy.
When the last stick of the Natchez was
burned the massacre of nearly all the
French in the Natchez country followed.
but as the tragic event had been precipi-
tated by the stratagem of the devoted
Bras-Pique, Perier, who at that time
was governor of the colony, was enabled
to take measures to save the French
elsewhere in the colony.-N. o. Picay'
une.
