He sang SO convincingly well and de-
veloped such zeal that the little girl
actually went to sleep. The captain
was so afraid that she might wake up
if he tried to put her back into her lit
tie nest of lace and feathers, that he
sat down carefully in an armchair and
remained there without stirring

dimpled fists lay on his breast, the
other still clasped the cross of the Le-
gion of Honor. Peace rested upon the
pure, closed eyelids, upon the curls
over that moist forehead, upon the ten
der cheeks, upon the half-opened lips
from which a deep breath issued at
regular intervals.
The warmth of that little body per-
meated his, and rose in him as wave

The noise of the clock suddenly
seemed to fill the room, and Capt.
Chereau felt that he was an old man;
he felt it plainly, just as one notices
the hairs getting white.
How short is life after ALL" he
sighed. And he regretted his lost
years, his wasted years, his selfish
life, of which there would remain moth
ing-nothing at all. There would be
no one to mourn him, even.

They were about to cry out at the un-
usual scene: 'Oh, captain-!"
But Capt. Chereau lifted up his head
and, showing his face flooded with
tears, he whispered softly tc them,

The porgie, common as it is, is a
beautiful fish when seen in the water
in favorable light, and it is likewise
one of the most sensitive of fishes, says
the New York Sun. In caPtivity it is
easily frightened. 1t will take alarm
from something done by a passing Wis
itor, thoughtless touching of the
glass, or something of that sort, and
go rushing around until it is exhausted.
Sometimes porgie in a tank may,
when frightened, jump out of water
and bump its nose against the wire
screen over the tank and be seemingly
paralyzed by the shock and rendered
unable to swim. In such a condition it

Winter weather causes catarrh. Ev-

warm season. Spring is here. Now

thing. The captain turned his eyes in
the direction of the object coveted by
the little girl; she wanted his cross Of
the Legion of Honor. For moment,
the red ribbon and the enameled trim
ket seemed to her, as to many other
babies, the most desirable object in the
world. The old bachelor allowed the
awkward little fingers, which were so
slim and fine and straight, to take his
cross. The little one at once quiet

him.
The rough old captain looked down
upon her with the eyes of the explorer
who discovers a new, blessed country.
The little round cheeks, with the dried
tears still visible upon them; the little,
half-opened mouth, made him feel cur
ously soft-hearted. With exuberant
enthusiasm he drew up the little head
to his own bearded face.

But the red ribbon of the cross was a
far greater attraction for baby than
the captains big mustache. Then he

Nobody came home, neither the nurse

But the sweet little burden upon his
arm did not care to go to sleep just
then; she mumbled inarticulate
