IXINsLEY,
THE POOR MANS sHEAF.

He saw the wheat-fields waiting
All golden in the sun,
And strong and stalwart reaperS
Went by him one by one.
"Oh, could reap in harvestr'
His heart made bitter cry:
II can do nothing! nothingi
So weak, alas! am I.
At eve fainting traveller
Sank down beside the door;
A cup Of crystal waer
To Quench his thirst he bore.
And when, refreshed and strengthened,
The traveller went his way,
Upon the poor mans threshold
A golden wheat-sheaf lay.
When came the Lord Of harvest,
He cried: "Ohi Master kind.
One sheaf have to offer,
But that did not bind.
gave a cup of water
To one athirst, and he
Left at my door, in going.
This sheaf offer Thee
Then said the Master, softly:
"Well pleased with this am 1;
One of my angels left 1t
With thee, as he passed by
Thou mayst not join the reapers
Upon the harvest plain,
But he who helps brother
Binds sheaves of richest grain"

"Have you seen him lately ?" Blanche

Have you seen him lately?" Blanche
inquired.
aHave seen him? Well, I like
that" -cried Miss Dean, with pretty
affectation of resentment.
"He has been to see you. Lottie?"
''Twice-three times in one week, !"
announced Miss Dean. "Oh. he is SO
good and charming"
"Ah, begin to see," answered
Blanche. HE is a good man, Lottie

God viii let me help You. think !

confessed to me-"
Then in low, uneven voice Goddard
told the story of his first love for his
ward, his intention of making her his
wife.
"Ah, remember that WE'LL" put in
Father Surtees. 81 remember when
you first came to me in your boyish
enthusiasm and told ne about her.
Then you remember, when you intro
duced me to her, how her rare beauty,
her wonderful personality swept me
off my feet in admiration. Why, old
man, felt like shouting for Joy when
you told me she was to be your wife"
ssThen I met the other" said God
dard.
:Ah, yes, you met the other!" The
eyes of the priest were fixed on the
rug at his feet. And as the major
began the second part of his recital,
and plunged into the details of
Jeanne's plot, Father Surtees' face
seemed to turn to bronze in the fitful
CLEANS of the burning Goals. He sat
listening with clenched hands, his fine
features almost awry from the mental
strain upon him.
''Merciful God!' he exclaimed.
81 knew you would be quite unpre-
pared for my disclosure" said God
dard. "You see, even your church
can't undertake to palliate such stu
pendous offenses against human law
and order" n
Sand you say you now love
Blanche?" said the priest. -
Gas I never dreamt I could love-
it has been a revelation of all the
forces of tenderness which lay dor
mant in me. There is but one solu-
ton I can make of it, and that is that
God has visited this love upon me as
the only adequate punishment for my
crime. I tell you there is a hell.
am in it. I had rather undergo the
physical .pangs of an eternity in burn
ing flames than to bear this a month
longer"
Father Surtees clasped his quivering
hands between his knees.
''God have mercy on you," he said.
'Poor, poor Blanche! L have never
seen a creature nearer to God, my
friend"
For about five minutes nothing
more was said. Then Goddard broke
the stiffness.
81 have thought of suicide" he said.
''That could not possibly help you
or her." Declare the priest.
81 am withheld even from that cow
ardly act because the shock would kill
her. Don't you see how am buffeted
about by the consequences of my
crime?"

mo, that would kill her. DIR. Flem-

the slightest shock or excitement"

"How did you find out that Blanche
has this-this terrible disease?"
81 have just told you that Jeanne
told me that DR.. Fleming had con-
flded it to her. He enjoined it on her
to keep it even from me, and by all
means from Blanche"

KANSAS ITEMS CONDENSED.
A Reminder OF old Days.

Wichita claims to have Al whole
sale houses and boasts that it will
have > population of $4,000 in two
years. Topeka claims that the en-
largement of the Santa Fe shops
means an addition of 10000 to the
population. All of which recalls the
good old times IA years ago when
watch factories, frog foundries and
locomotive works used to be estab-
Gshed every day in both towns.

CHAPTER XV.-CoNT1NUED.

From good position, hidden by a
truck loaded with luggage, he saw
Blanche alight from the train and sig
nal to hanson. Then, while her back
was turned towards him, he called an
other, and after he had taken his seat
he pointed to Blanche's hanson which
was turning into the street.
II want to keep that lady in sight,
he told the cabman; "do you under
stand?"
Perfectly. sir" with broad, pleased
grin. Detective, sir?"
mo; do as tell you
"All right, sir; pardon, SIR
The two cabs preserved mean dis
tance of half block between each
other. 1t was cloudy day, as warm
as spring. The asphalt pavements
were wet and slick and the horses
often slipped to the ground. Blanche's
hanson turned into Fourth avenue
and headed down town. Below Coop
er Union it ran into the Bowery. And
along this thoroughfare, with the
double tracks of the elevated railway
overhead, the two vehicles forged
stream of cars, wagons and cabs
would permit. They passed the City
Hall park and then ran INTO Beekman
street. Goddard saw Blanche's cab
man scanning the doors in search OF
a number, and knew she was near her
destination. fs8
The major raped on the top of the
cab, and the driver looked in at him
through the hole in the roof.
"Well, sir?" he said.
'If the lady should get out keep
your eye on the house and put me
down near there" ordered the major.
Fright you are, SIR"
In the most disreputable part of
the lower end of Beekman street. the
foremost hanson came to halt be-
fore red brick five-story building.
the major saw the face of his ward
for single moment as she stood on
the ground and held up her fare to
the cabman, his own driver having
refined in behind a wagon loaded with
bales of hay.
Goddard felt like a spy, but he told
himself he had the right to follow her,
fearing that she was being led into
danger.
II shall get down here" he said, hur-
riedly, when Blanche had gone into
the house. The cabman took his
double fee reluctantly.
Had better wait about here, sill? 81
he asked, evidently the prey of curl
osity.
No, shall not need you," and the
major was of. When he reached the
building Blanche had entered he saw
nothing Of her. The entrance was
very unclean. A barrel of rags stood
at the foot of the stairway and three
tattered boys were tossing pennies in
the doorway.
"a lady came in here just now" he
said to the first smutty visage that
turned towards him.
"Went upstairs" said the owner OF
the face.
"Do you know which loor?' asked
Goddard.
The boy did not, and shook his head
"She asked for the Simpsons" said
another urchin. They are top floor
back" =
"who are the Simpsons?" asked the
major.
81 don't know. sir,' said the first
boy who had spoken. "You can't
miss it; it's as high as you caa CO."
It then occurred to Goddard that he
was unarmed, and as he did not doubt
that Blanche had been beguiled into
some sort of trap he felt his inability
