He Did Not See Them.

A story is told of certain politician
whose education was somewhat defect
i've, and who, in particular, was not a
"born speller." He became prominent,
and his correspondence, therefore, took
on certain Importance.
One day particular friend came to
him and said: Look here, William;
you must have secretary write your
letters, and never undertake to write
any yourself"
"Why?" asked the public man.
Because people are laughing at your
letters, and they will do you harm"
"Why do they laugh at them?" in
astonishment.
Because you make so many mistakes
in spelling"
Mistakes in spelling?" exclaimed the
great man, nonsense! / read my let.

duly handed 1t in at the door, where
Hop Ling received it with his custom
airy grin, and slowed it away on the
mantel in the now deserted parlor
where notes and cards had generally
been displayed for the eyes of the young
mistress.
And now as they neared the familiar
spot, poor Randy would sit up. 1t
would never do to come before her eyes
Frustrated as though sorely hurt. Any
thing to spare her needless shock or
worry. He even essayed semi -jocular
show are you, old man?" as he caught
sight of Grafton, and tried smile and
wave of his hand to the ladies who ap-
peared on the southernmost porch of
the infantry lines.
"Why, you look as though you'd had
worse tussle than l, captain" he
laughed painfully, as he held out his
hand. "How is Florence? 1t hasn't
frightened her much, has it? l hope
Mrs. Haynes been with her."
"She's been a good deal troubled, of
course" answered Grafton, gravely,
"but-but Mrs. Hayne is--bringing her
round all right, think. How are you,
old man? You did have ride!"
But now Randy was peering out along
the row-their own row. Women were
to be seen here and there along the
verandas, gazing sympathetically
toward the slowly moving party, but
no feminine form was visible on the
piazza of his little home.
Better lie back, Mr.. Merriam" urged
the doctor. "Try to make him do so,"
he murmured to Grafton. "We've got
to get him quiet in his room before we
let him know anything" Already the
anxious young physician had been told
that Mrs. Merriam was probably 80
miles away, and his soul was wrung at
the thought of what that would mean
to his patient.
"Yes, lie down, Randy, till we get you
indoors" urged Grafton. "We've had
to put up game on Mrs. Randy-(God
forgive me the lie" he prayed). "Know
ing how anxious you were and we were
lest she should be shocked, we-kept
her away. Mrs. Hayne and DR.. Gould
are looking out for her. She's not to be
allowed to come near you till we get
you safe and sound and bathed and all
fixed up in bed. OF course we know
now, Randy-we didn't before, but Mrs.
Hayne had to tell my wife how careful
we have to be of her-now, and really,
old boy, she oughtn't to see you till
you're washed and dressed. You look
tough, Randy"
And though the face he longed to see
as they bore him up the steps was miles
and miles away, Merriam stifled his own
disappointment and bravely thanked
them. "God bless you and Mrs. Graf
ton! That was indeed thoughtful of
you, old boy" he gasped, for pain was
wrenching him, and he gave long, long
sigh of relief when at last he was lifted
from the stretcher to bed in the spare
room.
But that sigh was faint whisper as
compared with the long, long breath
that Grafton drew, as he sat him down
in the adjoining room and mopped his
streaming forehead

WHEN SORROW GAME.

When sorrow came, 1 dii not look
For any visitor that day,
But In beside the ingle-nook
She slipped in calm. familiar way,
As one, a dear and privileged guest,
Who pushes wide door ajar,
And. seeking only friendly rest,
Sits down where all the kindred are.
and first surprised, l scarcely knew
A word to greet the stranger face;
There crept numbing shadow through
The brightness Of my dwelling place.
So dumb her lips, so veiled her eyes.
So chill the hand In mine she laid,
The sunshine vanished from the skies,
And in the cloud knelt, afraid.
But sorrow stayed, until heard,
In that bushed silence round her drawn,
Voices more sweet than song of bird,
The tender tones cfloved ones gone.
And floating from the sllvern shore,
Whereon the ransomed walk serene,
Came watts Of fragrance blown before
The angels as they hither lean.
Then. swift transfgured, sorrow turned.
Her look was wonderful to see;
Ny very soul within me burned,
For Love in sorrow died for me.
And Love appoints my sorrow still,
And sacramental cups are poured
Where and sorrow, II God will,
Meet and hold tryst with my dear Lord.

"What'll do with this here, sir?"
said McGrath, coming finally into the

~Nhy he don't reply"
Say that Mr.. Merriam is still away
after Mexican murderers and we ex-
peet him any minute. Ask if any other
officer will do? Hello! What's that,
orderly?" he broke off, at the sound of
hoof beats and excited voices without.
A trooper entered, dust covered and
weary, to make his brief report. Capt.
Grafton darting in just in time for the
news.
Lieut.. Merriam's wounded, sir, an
his horse killed, and can the doctor go
back with me?"

xpoke aloud. "Is there to be no end to
the calamities of this day?" Repress-
ing his own eagerness. he waited in
stern self-discipline while the adjutant
went quickly into details, as was his
business, in striving to learn the extent
aud nature Of Merriam's wounds; then,
the colonel being over home, turned for
advice to Grafton.
"0nly our contract doctor left" he
said. "The others are off with the
Rihers or-in chase" Hurriedly he
wrote few lines to Buxton and then
turned to McGrath.
Tell Capt. Grafton about these mes
eages for Mr.. Merriam, will you?" said
he, "and captain, will you please at

A LAWYERS ZEAL.
Regretted His Client Had Not Been
Struck by n Trolley Car.
LTo BE CONTINUED.


Struck by n Trolley Car.
A Brooklyn man who had the mis-
fortune to break his arm by tripping
over curbstone and falling upon the
limb, consulted leading lawyer of
that borough to see if he could not re-
cover damages from the city for the
accident. The lawyer heard the de-
tails, and then said:
"I do not think there Is any law
by which man could recover damages
for not lifting his foot high enough.
In recent case a contractor had lift
ed flagstone on the sidewalk and
turned it over, leaving a hole where it
had been originally, and double thick
ness of stone where it rested.
"a woman came along, stepped in
the hole, fell, and broke her leg. She
sued the contractor and received ver-
dict of $1,000 damages, but he appealed,
and the appellate court reversed the
verdict on the ground that she should
have looked where she was stepping"
The client said that he thought the
curbstone was too high, but the law
yer replied that he did not know of any
law that regulated the height of a
curbstone. Then the man of law got
warmed up to the subject and said:
"Now, if you had only been hit by a
trolley car, we could have got good
verdict against the company. have
just recovered verdict for woman
who had both legs broken by being run
over by trolley car. 1t is pity that
you were not hurt that way"
Then as he bowed his astonished eli.
ent out of the office, he said:
"Now, remember, next time you get
hit by trolley car."-N. Y. Times.
