struggled through hundreds of pages
of personal reflections and turgid weari-
ness, and found at last what WANTED.
In his youngeE days iWilkie was sea
captain, and a very cruel one, have
no doubt. One day, years ago, when
his ship was on the Pacific ocean, he
gave an order to an Italian sailor. 1t
wasn't obeyed with proper alacrity, and
he knocked the sailor down. The sailor
made a threat, and was treated to the
ropes end. Now, Miss Simmons, the
Italians, or some of them, are vengeful
in the extreme; they can carry grudge
for lifetime, and leave it as legacy
to their children. l made inquiries.
Sure enough, on the day preceding the
murder Of Wilkie, a swarthy man with
a hand-organ and monkey came into
the town, to the great amusement of
the children. have no doubt that the
swarthy man was knocked down on
the deck of ship in the Pacific ocean
once upon time.
"Singularly enough, after leaving the
town, this swafthy man fell down an
embanl1ment a few miles in the coun-
try, and broke his leg; and he was car
ried to a hut in the woods, where an
old bachelor lives, and there he has
been lying ever since, and the children
play truant to go there and feed the
monkey. He is able to walk now, and
might go away Unexpectedly, were it

before, but there is some romance in
me, and l wanted the climax to occur
on New Years day"
The detective was almost merry as
he concluded; but when Miss Simmons
begged him to defer the release of
Hugh Morse no longer-not an hour
he grew somber, and talked in a discon-
nected way Of overcoats.
The morning of New Years day was
so peculiar that old men and sages who
were reputed weatherwise, shook their
heads ominously, and predicted that the
day would be one to be remembered.
Not bough stirred in the heavy air;
the clouds were low, and moved slowly
to the north; there was audible
gentle hum, as of the noise of brook
in the distance, and no man could tell
what gave rise to it. But these things
did not disturb Mr.. Pauley, as he
moved actively along the highway on
his triumphal errand. He started at
daylight on foot; he had arranged for
a horse and wagon for the return jour
ney. At eight o'clock he reached the
hut in the woods and entered it. An
old man with gray beard was lying on
a cot, breathing heavily and asleep.
Pauley shook him roughly, anG cried:
"Where's the Italian?"
The old man started from his cot and
looked wildly around. Comet gonel"
he cried. "He was here with his monkey
when / went to sleep; he gave me
something to make me sleep, for | was
sick, and trusted him."
Pauley raised his hand, as though to
strike him.
The ground was damp under the trees,
and Pauly soon found the track of the
fugitive; he moved along like a hound .

The New Years day was far gone
when the deputy's red face appeared at
the hole in the iron door, with smile
that was unusual. "a lady to see you,
Mr.. Morse" he said; "you may step into
the corridor"
Hugh accepted the invitation, and a
pair of arms were thrown about his
neck.
"You are free, Hugh" cried glad
voice, and tears of happiness began to
flow. And when all the amazement and
tears were over Miriam explained how
it came about. Only part of her mar

noble detective, as he was, sinking to
sleep, manacled to what he supposed
was corpse, thought he would make
one more effort to be saved; and he shot
off all the cartridges in his revolver,
and, do you know, he was within ten
feet of house and didn't know it; and
the people rushed out and found the
two and carried them into the house.
The italian was revived, but his hours
were numbered, and he confessed, and
he died an hour ago; and here is the
order for your release"
On the next day Miss Simmons went

had died away and the clouds no longer
moved, but a great mass of gray hung
overhead and large flakes of snow be-
gan to fall; they thickened rapidly, and
soon John Pauley found that fieecy
blanket was spread all about him, and
under him and over him; and the wind
arose suddenly with a shrek, and the
snow in binding masses was flung into
his face; he could no longer see his
hand when he held 1t before him, and
the truth came home to him that he was
lost on the prairie in q western bliz-
card.
He stumbled against tree that grew
upright for couple Of feet and then
bent at an angle; he placed his back to
1t and determined that the hut which
he had left half an hour before was
straight ahead; he tried to reach IT.;
stumbling, falling, creeping and strug-
Cling, he progressed painfully for hours,
as it seemed to him, and then, with out
stretched hand, he felt something hard
before him. "The hut, at lastl" he cried,
but it was the tree he had left so long
ago. He stumbled on again, this time
at random; he was growing drowsy,
and he knew that if he went to sleep
he would never wake again. On, on,
he dragged himself, and the fury of the
storm began to abate; in little hollow
in the prairie he stumbled over some
thing and fell; with his hands he ex-
amined the something, and found it
TO be the form of a man, with something
large on his back. 1t was the italian,
with his organ.
whether we live or die, we'll stay
together" said John Pauley, and he
took from his pocket a pair of hand
cuffs; he snapped one iron loop on the
Italians wrist and the other on his
own, and then unable to struggle
longer against his fate, he went to sleep.

take part of yours, and each one will
take part of the others, and so will
fulfill the law of Christ.
One of the ways toward this end is
encouragement.
Encourage the merchant. If he have
superior style of goods, tell him so.
Encourage the newspaper men. Be
affable to them when you have no ak to
grind.
Encourage mechanics. If one has
done job well, tell him it is splendidly
done.
Encourage the farmers. There is no
class of people in this country who want
your sympathy just now more than the
farmers.
Encourage the doctors. You praise
the doctor when he brings you up from
an awful crisis of disease, but do you
praise the doctor when through skill
full treatment of the incipient stages
of disease he keeps you from sinking
down to the awful crisis?
Encourage the lawyers.
Encourage the teachers in our public
schools.
Encourage all invalids by telling
them how many you have known with
the same ailments to get well,
Encourage all starting in life by
yourself becoming reminiscent.
Such is happiness, and the road to
Happy New Year.-Demorests Maga-
