For a moment she stood still, irreso-
lutte. A soft wind lifted the loose hair
that lay about her hot forehead and
cooled the fierce throbbing Of her tenn
pies.
She leaned her head in tired little
way against the great, sympathetic
trunk of an aged oak, and Rugged Lis
beth close to her breast. Just then the
breeze, blowing In that direction, again
bore her husbands voice to her, and
she strained her ears to catch the
words-the last she should ever hear
from his lips. The sound Of the famil-
lar tones that had been dearer than all
others to her caused the scalding tears
to rain down the woman's face and
burn her very soul, but with a sudden
access Of pride she controlled herself
and-waited.
Here is all the money | have-take

your own sake-try to live right. God

Priscilla heard, and her breath came
and went in quick sobs of relief; her
heart beat wildly in her bosom and a
great food of thanksgiving poured In
upon her soul. She realized it all now,
and understood. Gathering their child
closer in her arms, she turned and ned
noiselessly across the lawns that sepa-
rated the summer house from their
home.
Ten minutes later Jim came In, and
his wife's unclouded welcome-the first
for many a day-made his great kind
heart throb with new joyousness.

change his linen for dinner. and Pris-

Two InteiIIgent Robins.

The following incident seems too
remarkable TO be true, and yet II is
vouched for by a writer whose word
should not be doubted. Two robins
were trying to teach their little one
to fly. 1t attempted to cover too great
a distance and fell to the ground. My

to put it on the roof of our side porch.

Most people believe that the inventor
Of the guillotlne persisted by means Of
his own invention. AS a matter Of
fact, DR.. Joseph Ignatius Guillotin, a
medical member Of the Tlers-Etat, who
had adopted an English instrument
(the Halifax Maiden) as a means Of
making the death penalty equal for
all, died peacefully in Paris in 1874,
at the age of seyenty-six. The common
blunder was probably caused by an
entry in the annual register on this
day in 1874, to the effect that ]. B. v.
Guillotine, NJ. d., Of Lyons, was exc
cuted lately. ut is an extraordinary
thing that he should die by an instru-
ment of his own invention. He died
with great reluctance, and declared
that when he produced his instrument
to the world It was from motives Of
humanity alone" This alleged motive
was founded on fact, but the date Of

How Sclercs Beats Nature In These Two
Organs.
The eye and the ear have long been
regarded as marvels of mechanism,
quite the most wonderful things in
the world. But compared with the i'm
plements of a present day laboratory,
the sensitiyeness Of all human organs
seems gross enough, says Harper's
Magazine, A Photographic plate,
coupled with telescope, win reveal
the presence Of millions Of stars whose
light does not affect the retina In the
least. The microscope, too, with Its
revelations of the world of the infinite
ly small, tells us how crude, after
all, is this most delicate Of the senses.
Indeed, We may liken It to a piano,
where only a, single octave, towards
the middle sounds. From. the ultra
violet to the lowest reaches Of the
spectrum is a range Of some nine &C.
tayes Of light variations, Of which,
save for our new mechanical senses,
we should have never been conscious
Of but one.
The ear hears little of what is going
on around us. BY means of micro
phone, the tread of a fly sounds like
the tramp Of cavalry Our heat sense
is very vague; we need variation of
at least one-fifth of a degree on
thermometer to realize any difference

A man has been found who is wor-
ried about the 25 foot bronze female
figure that surmounts the dome OF the
Capitol. Senotar Frye received a petit
ton from him urging that the Statue of
Liberty be regilded, for the reason
that it is rather hard on woman to
put her out in the cold and up ever so
high without providing her a new dress
once in a century, at any rate"

IL was a United States case, and was
tried in the United States Court here
Baron was United states Marshall at the
time, and the hanging was conducted
under his supervision. The execution
was complete success, there being no
hitches in carrying out the order OF the
court. Pellio took the affair stolidly,
as with most Indians, although he bad
previously asked to be shot, saying that
il was no disgrace to be shot, buta great
disgrace to be hanged. His request
could not, of course, be carried out, and
the execution was conducted in the
regularly prescribed form. Only 20
invitations we're issued and the affair
attracted comparatively little attention,
the crime having been committed in
Eastern Oregon, az the result OF q
