SEARCH FOR THE IDEAL.

For days the suns fiedce rays had
left their fiery touch on the city's
pavements and buildings. Only thise
called forth by business quilted the
shelter of their dwellings before the
sun had set. and the grateful breath
of the enclosing rivers was waited o~-
er the heated streets.
In the early evening group of peo-
pie were sitting on the low steps OF
stone house, in the English base
ment style, which allows small re-
ception room on the ground floor,
with the drawing room and dining
room overhead. In this little room
which opened on the hallway, near
the large front door, sat a young girl.
Weary of the monotOny and the heat,
she had sought to forget the present
in tale of ideal honor and truth. Az
ter while she pushed her chair away
from the brilliant gaslight, and her
dreamy eyes sought the shadows of
the rooms. From the steps came occa-
sional whiffs of a cigar, and the care
less talk of the boarders who belong
ed upstairs. A maid passed through
the hall carrying pictures of water.
She left one on a little table in the
corner, and returned to another floor.
The echo of her feet and the clinking
of the broken ices in the pitchers,
slowly died away.
The girl was dreaming-and not of
the book. Truth and honor and ideal
love were in the world today, she
thought, and to be found there in
purity. Only the faint shadow of the
ideal was imprisoned in books; its es-
sence, SO real AMI so true, who could
grasp it and picture it upon printed
page?
A little girl about ten years of age
broke in upon her revery: 20 Lucy,

Eyes. Ruth, but there is no one to
go with us"
"Mr. Jenkins would, If I told him

thing of the kind from me-"

that want to go?" insisted the child.
Don't bother me, Ruth" and Lucy
turned back to her book.
The child caught note of weaken
ing in the voice, and danced out of the
door.
Lucy listened guiltily. Her little
friends coaxing shatter could be dim
ly heard without the words.
A gentleman soon appeared in the
doorway. '.Ruthie and am going for
a walk" he said, -carelessly. "Are
you willing to accompany us?
The child had followed him by this
time. and was holding on to his hand.
80, come, Lucy" she cried.
The girl rose for her hat with the
underlined feeling that each of the
three knew how much she wished to
go. Her parents were sitting with the
group on the steps.
She had know Mr.. Jennings for
some time. He was in the employ OF
her father who liked him as fried
for himself, but rot for his daughters.
and this Mr.. Jenkins knew.
Lucy was viewing the world through
the rose-tinted lenses of youth, anu
needed little the judgments OF others.
Like Sir Galahad of old, she wound
seek the fountains of goodness, armed
only with the weapons of truth, and
she would inevitably find it, if the
stern edge of her sword were not
dulled by the glittering, alluring lac
querer of falseness.
As they passed out upon the street,
Mr.. Jenkins still held Ruth's hand,
who walked in the middle, and chatted
gayly. The twilight slowly vanished
and the twinkling lights of the many
stores on busy thoroughfare soon
flashed on their sight. In crossing a
street Ruth was dexterously transfer
red to the other side, and Lucy silent
ly laid her hand on his arm.
The mans voice was soft and per-
suasive as he discoursed of many
things; the child watched the sights
on the streets, and Lucy listened and
answered. The enveloping atmosphere
of truth with which she came forth,
still surrounded her, and she felt not
the presence of insincerity and deceit.
They slowly retraced their steps
down the crowded, glittering avenue,
each moment growing brighter and
gayer, as the masses of people present
in great city, even when all the
world is said to be absent, came forth
to enjoy the evening. Back upon their
quiet street, they turned, past the sill
ent house with barred windows, whose
owners ere afar; past the other houses
where someone was compelled to re-
main through the heated term.
Mr.. Jenkins fingered and hesitated
moment, when within block OF
home. He liked his companion but
was afread of his employer.
Don't you think you would better
drop my arm, and we might take Ruth
between us again." he suggested.
The girl replied, quietly, 81 never do
anything that l would be unwilling
to do publicly" and frightened the
grasp of her little hand.
No further word was spoken.
They reached the short walk lead
ing to the steps, and the expectant
group awaiting their return.
As they slowly mounted the last
step within plain view of all, Lucy re-
linquished her firm and COMBINATIONS

ON CHARGE OF LkRcENY.
Frank larrabee and VIM. Duke Arrested
larrabse Later Escapes.

Deputy Marshal Grover arrested TWO
young men, Frank Larrabee and Will
liam Duke, Thursday evening, charging
them with larceny. They have lately
been selling spoons and other things at
the second hand stores, and this leads
the officers to believe they did not
honestly come by them. After the men
were taken to the station they were
for a time locked up in the women's
cell, but later the deputy marshal
started to change them to the lookup.
While doing this, Larrabee slipped out
of the side door and has not been seen
since. He has been under arrest before
and escaped from the lookup once in
the spring. Duke maintains that he is
innocent of stealing, but the officers
think they know where to find the evil
dence against him.
