Ray and told him Mrs. Thornton
wanted to see him at the Carriage jail.
He went with the officer, and together
they entered the woman's quarters,
where she met them. After q few
commonplace remarks were passed be-
tween them, Mrs. Thornton turned to
Ray with a look that seemed to pene-
trate his very soul, and said
" George, I'm In prison, charged
with q terrible crime, and II you have
any ide who murdered John Thorn
ton for Gods sake tell me, for / don't
want to suffer for this crime"
Ray sat motionless and almost dunn
founded. The woman's earnest and
impressive manner completely un-
neryed him and the abruptness of the
question threw him off his guard. For
several minutes he was silent, but the
woman's eyes were riveted upon him,
and he seemed powerless to turn his
eyes away from her penetrating gaze.
He looked at her pleadingly and
~piteously, and then broke down and
began crying.
II done it," were the only words he
said, until the deputy sheriff began to
question him, when he made q clean
breast of it and told all. He said he
went TO b engine room and found
Thornton asleep In q chair then he
shot him.. When the bullet struck
Thornton he opened his eyes and
seemed to recognize his assassin as he
fell from the chair. Then Ray drew
q razor, and, to make sure of the Job,
cut the dying mans throat from ear to
ear, almost %severing the head from
the body. He then took Thornton's
money, q roll Of bills, and his ring, and
returned to Thornton's house, arriving
at $40 o'clock.
hay gave as his motive for killing
Thornton the hatred he bore the
latter for repeatedly cursing and abus.
ing him for loa6ng about the house
and living off him insteaa OF going to
work. Ray is a consumptive in a very
feeble condition. His feet are swollen
with rheumatism, and he felt unable
to work: On the day preceding the
nlght OF the killing, Thornton had
been very abusive to Ray, and the con.
suuptive boy, driven to desperation
determined to kill him. He took the
money End ring to give the idea tina,
thornton had been murdered and
robbed by tramps.
hay told where the roll Of bills was
concealed In an old stove, and where
the razor had been driven into the
ground, in the stable. The money
was found as he described it, it being
q roll OF bills amounting to $75, and
the razor was dug up in the stable
Hay showed the officers an old mining
shalt, into which he had thrown the
pistol, but as it contained several feet
OF water, and they were convinced O.
the accuracy of his confession the
officers deemed further search unneces
sary.

There's q time to wake and a time to sleep,
A time to labor, a time to rest;
There's a time to give and a time to keen.
Ere the hands at last fold over the

And the form is still on the still white

In the crowded streets, by the lonely

Me- haste to lead where the weary
tread
h good we do must be done before
The stars are out-and the night is nigh,
wherein we never may hush a sign.
Some day the hands so quick to caress
Will clasp each other no more; some
night
The brow hat the brown locks love to
press
Will lift its last in the war for right.
The lips that offer sweet words of hope
10 hearts o'erburdened will move for
No aid from these for the lost who grope
Through the wind and rain, for their
