The woman disappeared for a mo-

purse which she thrust into his hand
Here, Jack! Take this. 1t is all
we have saved for the children. Take
it, but go! Did you-did you see the
children?"
Yes, Dorry, saw them"
Kiss me, Jack. They are yours.
For them l. love you. Now go."
The eX-convict pressed the woman
to his heart; then opened the purse,
and, taking from it a few coins, hand

Mrs. Lett was in the kitchen doing
up the aftersupper work.

She spoke in whisper. Her voice

Dorothy?"
She could not speak; but twirled
the dishcloth around in the suds.
Il am hungry, Dorothy. Can have
something to eat?"
She put him out meal

There were tears in his eyes.
The woman looked into his face.
Voices came through the hall Lett

Il hear Moore's been pardoned.

The man at the table raised his
eyes to those fXedly regarding him.

Good night, neighbor," he was
saying. You are right. It's not easy
to do ones duty always. Come, child

REEDS FEE TOO MODEST,

Characteristic Of LAWYERS,

SHdTdC1SFISIlC OF Lawyers.
A man of national reputation had
occasion some months ago to employ
the services of Mr.. Thomas B. RAed
in case before the United States
Supreme court. He met the ex-
speaker in New York and after con-
cluding the arrangements for present
ing the case for the corporation which
he represented. said to him:
And now, Mr.. Reed. should like
to pay you retaining fee at once"
"Oh, never mind that now" was the
reply; wait until l think it over, and
l shall write to YOU
The man was in Washington when
he received Mr.. Reeds letter. The
ex-speaker began by saying that he
was "a young fellow in the law busi-
ness" and was afraid of charging
too much" and concluded by saying
that if $1,000 wasn't too high he
might send that amount. The rest OF
the letter was written in Mr.. Reeds
characteristic style of droll humor

ment at paying a fee of $4,000"

the older ones going to make a liv-

The next morning the man received
the following telegram:

Oh my brother. cease complaining;
See the night of wrong is waning,
And the king Of light is reigning.
And the flag of hopes unfurled.
There are evils left for righting
There are battles left for fighting.
There are beacons left for lighting,
To illuminate the world.
Better days are breaking DER us.

cH1NAMEN CROSS ON ICE.
Slipping Into This Country From Over
the Canadian Border.


A source OF entry which has been used
by Cinnamon to gain entrance to this
country has been discovered by the Fed
eral authorities, and they aJe keeping a
close watchout along the lake front from
Buffalo 70 Lake View. The way the
Cinnamon are believed to enter this coun-
try from Canada is by crossing the ice.
This manner Of entry will soon be doae
away with by the warm weather but dur
ing the winter It is believed that many
Celestials gained entrance IN this nan
ner. The ice for over a month was IN
good condition and would admit the
crossing of large parties from Canada TO
this side of the lake
What makes the authorities firm in this
belief is the arrest Of three ChirGmen
and two white men by Deputy United
States Marshal Sturm receHtIy.- He had
heard that CeIesJals were boarding trains
at South Buffalo. near the c',y line. 50 he
decided to make an investigation Early
one morning not long since ne Travelled
out to South Buffalo and waited His
patience was rewarded. About . o'clock
in the morning h. discovered three Mon
golians about to board ;-din bound for
the East. He placed lnem under arrest.
| and they are III present in Jail awaiting
a hearing.
Within the past twenty days seventy
one OF the yellOw-skinned persona ges
have been seen at Windmill Point. a small
town q few miles up the lake. on the Ca
madam side. They lived in barns and old
unused houses. The Cinnamon began to
disappear as If by magic, and today il is
doubtful If one could be found there. The
superstition is that they crossed over the
ice to the United States and this sup
position is backed up by the arrest OF the
three Moagolians at South Buffalo A
large portion OF them, II is believed. en-
tered outside of the city limits. Then,
too, il is safer to land in the vicinity Of
South Buffalo and get a train near the
outskirts Of the city than TO pass through
the city. They are not 50 liable TO cap
ture Hundreds Of Cinnamon are believed
to have entered this country by that
means. and II is safe betting that the
white men who are smuggling them into
this country have made a profitable bust
ness this winter.
The Grand Trunk Railroad and other
roads pass near Windmill Point, and all
/ during the winter Cinnamon have been
/ let of at stations in the vicinity OF the
