| Tuesday night about II o'clock when
Mr.. Thomas F. Carey, the cigar manu-
facturcr, was on his way home, he found

lived. That night, SO the boy ted Mr..
Carey, ne had started out TO the Union
station to meet his father, who was
coming home on the night train from
Boston. The boy had found the Union
station without any trouble, but when
| he came to go back hcme he couldn t
| find the street where he lived. He was
cold ana hungry and cried good deal
while telling Mr.. Carey the sad tale,
and the knd-hearted gentleman pitied
| the little fellow SO much that he took
| him to the police and did the hest to
! find the lads anxious mother who had
so long been waiting for Ter CONS re-
turn.
But at the police station Arthur could
not tell anything about the street lie
lived on and didn't even Know the loca-
ton OF 1t. He was lost and good deal
frightened, too. The police officers gave
the sobbing boy good supper and a
warm place in which to sleep and set
about to find his parents.
| All night Tuesday and Wednesday fore
noon they huntad for the boy home ana
when noon came aud still no heart-brof
en- mother had put in An appearance to
| tell OF 3 lost son, the police began to
doubt Arthur's story.
| The lad was cross-exani ned aud ques-
toned again and again, but stuck to his
original tale OF being lost and 50 many
details did he supply TO the sad story RS
he went along That the police officials
were completely puzzled.
| A bout 6 o'clock Deputy Marshal Hart
| nett telephoned to Lewiston and there
| found that boy answering the deserip-
| tion of 'Arthur Morrill, had been miss
| ing from home since Tuesday morning.
His name, Deputy Marshal Hartnstt

The following lines are dedicated to
Miss Ida McQuade, who died in st. Louis
Wednesday, July 7, 1887:
They smoothed her tressss of golden hair;
On her forehead of marble they laid It
fair;
Over her eyes, which gazed too much,
They drew the lids. with gentle touch;
With a tender touch they closed up we'll
The sweet. thin lips had no secrets to tel;
About her brows, and her dear, pale face
They twined carnation with simple grace,
And drew on her white feet her white
silk shoes,
Which were the whittier, no eye could
choose;
And over her bosom they crossed her
hands.
"Come away" they said, God under
stands"
And then there was silence, and nothing
there
But the silence-and scents Of eglantere
And carnation and roses ard rosemary
For they said as child should lie, lies
she,
She is dead, they said; her spirit soul has
passed away,
We kissed her and left her, our love was
clay.
