The soul that shuts itself and holds its peace
while tho world is grows securer in silence OF
contemplation, and lets out its gentle thoughts and
whispering Joys, it's hopes or sad fears, unto the
listening and before the kindly eye of God,
But in souls which have caught something OF the
beauty of the divine life, prayer in many of its
moods becomes more than this. There are times
or yearnng and longing, far beyond the help of the
most hopeful There is prayer which is the voice
OF the soul pleading its birthright crying out for
its immortality: it is heavenly hOmesiCkness.-

the fireman turned to gather a scoopful
Of coal he was startled to see a man
standing on the coal pointing two re-
yolvers at his head.
"Throw up your hands," shouted the
man, elevating his voice to overcome
the noise of the train.
"Throw up your hands and obey my
orders and you won't get hurt
Then the robber commanded: "Go
and put out that headlight and mind
that you come back here"
The fireman lost no time in obeying
the order an was returning into the cab
when he heard shot and peered in
just in time to see the engineer fall
backwards out OF the gangway to the
ground. Just then the steam was
shut Oft and the brakes applied and the
train came to stop in Mukey Canyon.
Clerk c. w. Otis refused to open the
mail car door until threatened twith dy-

Der went to work on the registered mail

and mail men to open. Packages were
handed to him, and with the utmost
GOODNESS the fellow took eat..and

another, using his gun to break them.
