And oft my heart before me goes
To read the love sign Of the Rose.
Through faircr bloom for lovers iryst

As il an angels lips had kissed
And blessed it blooming there,
For heaven ifh sweetest smile bestows
On the dear love sign Of the Rose.

When shadows blur the light.
And rosy twining arms that meet
And necklace me at night,
These my glad heart enraptured knows
At the dear love sign OF the Rose.

In thorny paths to roam,
While Ger the meadows Of life's May
Shine signals sweet Of home
Waen night falls drear, one heart still knows
Rest at the love sign Of the Rose.

Before he was half through lunch the
mirror made known to him the pres
ence of a very striking couple. She
was young, beautiful and-Miss Aman-
da Smith, He-well. Tom did not
know him, but observed, with paling
cheek, that the two were very much
devoted to each other. Finally he no
ticed a startling fact. Miss Smith,
with feminine care, was just in the act
of passing a beautiful white hand over
her tresses. Tom watched it, in all
the fascination of a lover: until sud
denly his heart began to sink. On the
third finger of Miss Smiths left hand
was wedding ring.

SERVED TIME FOR HIS FRIEND.

Why Sullivan and Reilly Changed
Names on the Way to Prison.
A simple escape from prison is
nothing remarkable, but there's are very
few men shrewd enough to get out
from behind prison bars and be free
for months without letting the authori-
ties Know anything about il.
That is what James Reilly did. He
was sentenced to an imprisonment of
two years in the Eastern ~penitentiary,
and served only Is months. Probably
his escape would not have been dis
covered for many months if he had
not been arrested in Pittsburg several
days ago for robbing a jewelry store.
Two men, who were with him escaped.
Captain of Detectives Miller thinks
they are the same men who were with
him when he was arrested here, and
who served out the Is months sem
tence with him. When he heard that
Reilly had been arrested in Pittsburg
he refused to believe it until he found,
upon Investigation, that the man at
the penitentiary as Reilly was not
Reilly, but James Sullivan.
There has been many tales of affec-
ton and loyalty among crooks, but
none of them exceeds the story. of
James Sullivan's sacrifice for his
friend. He was with Reilly and two
other crooks known as Devlin and
Hoyt when they were arrested here in
July of 1898.
Sullivan, Hoyt and Devlin were
sentenced to Is months each in the
Eastern penitentiary. Reilly, who was
an old offender, got a sentence of two
years.
Sullivan knew that there were de-
tainers against his friend, charging
him with serious crimes in other
cities, so on the way to prison he sug-
gested that they take each others
name, thus giving Reilly an oppor-
tunity to elude the authorities when
his (Sullivan's) term expired.
The plan was adopted and, owing
to the remarkable similarity of the
two prisoners, was carried out sue
eessfully. Sullivan knew the risks he
ran, but when he was arraigned be-
fore Magistrate Ladner recently with
conspiracy to aid prisoner in escap-
ing, he never murmured. His counsel
waved q hearing and was held in
$4,000 bail for rial.-Philadelphia
Times.
