An important work in the sur vey and investigation of the govern ment forest reserves by the United States geological survey is this sea- son in progress under Henry Gan nett, geographer. It consists in the extension of the topographic sur veys, including triangulation and spirit leveling, of the reserves for the construction of maps, and also in the botanic and economic exam nations of the forest to discover the amount and variety of stand ing timber, the damage done by forest fires and other existing con- ditions of the reserves.

mas gladness came foating il at the
window Of a room high up ina poor
old tenement house, where two sWom-
en- sat by = bed whereon q sick child chi
lay, tossing about restlessly, and
moaning in the fdelirium of 9 fever
that was burning its little life away:
One Of these women was the !child's ID!
mother. The other was Margaret
Leith. .:. -, T.,
"Poor little thing!" the mother
moaned, as she bent above the bed,
and her tears fell fast on the thin,
white face already bright with the
radiance shining out through the
open gates of the Other World. I'm
afraid he isn't going to live the night
out. IL wish you'd stay with me,
ma'am. It's too much to ask Of
you, I know, butt never had any
thing to do with death, before, and
it seems as if I could bear it bet
ter if you were here. You've been
so kind to me, ma'am, that you see
1 take liberties that ought not to-;
but you'll pardon me for it, I'm sure,
for it's because of the trouble.
Sometimes I think I'd go crazy if it
wasn't for your kind face and your
comforting words, ma'am."
II will stay" answered Margaret.
"But 1 must send word to my aunt,

often so selfish that they> prompt,
us to lay claim to that to which we
have no right"
" 1.-THE king may always claim his
own, they say" she answered, smil-
ing softly and half unconsciously
into his face, in the great, absorbing
happiness that was flooding her soul.
my heart was yours long ago,
John," and then she put her hand in
his as if it held her, heart and, she
was giving it into his keeping forssan
time to come. zs

Sick Child.
or she will be worrying about me.
Do you know of some boy I can get
tc carry a line to herr"
The woman went to find a messen-
ger, and Margaret wrote her note,
thinking, as she did so, how angry
her aunt would be, for Vaughan Her
rick had been invited to spend Christ
mas eve with them.
The letter was sent, and Margaret
sat down by the bed of the sick
child.
BY and by she saw that the child
had opened it's eyes and was looking
at her very intently. j.
1--WE been thinking about the an
GELS" he said. II saw one, and it
had face just like yours. Are you
one of them? Mother said so, the
other day, when you brought them
pretty posies."
II am very far from being an an
GEL" answered Margaret, with
smile into the wan little face on the
pillow. "Shall sing to you?"
"Oh, dol" cried the child. "When
you sing, the pain don't hurt So"
She sang an old-time song of
Christmas that told of Christ's birth
in the lowly Bethlehem manger, and
of the chorus in the sky, and the
Star that led the way to "where the
young child lay"-sang it SO softly,
SO tenderly, that the face of the child
who listened lost it's look of pain,
and when the song was ended he
looked up and said:
II think you must be an angel, for
when I dreamed about them they
sang like that"
There came knock at the door.
The woman went and opened it.. A
man came in. Margaret felt who it
was without looking up. Her heart
told her.
John Fosdyke started when he saw
Margaret Leith there. Then a glad,
bright smile came into his face. He
knew, now, who was his unknown
helper in the good work. She put
her hand in his silently. There
seemed to be little need of words.
When heart speaks to heart, words
are poor, weak things.
"How is the little lad?" he asked,
gently, and the mother answered
only with a sob.
He went to the bed and bent over
the sick boy,
ut will soon be we'll with him"
he said, gravely, reverently, as if in
the actual presence of the Lord of
life and death. And the poor mother
knew that he meant that the little
life was almost ended, and sat crying
softly in the shadow.
"Let us pray" he said, and then
he knelt down and made a little
prayer. The prayer held but few
words, and they were simple ones,
but they were eloquent with human
love, and made the heart of the
mother stronger to bear the loss that
was SO near, for there is always com.
fort and strength for the soul that
is in trouble in the thought that 9th.
ers sympathize with us and share ou1
sorrow.
"sing," the child said, presently
looking at Margaret.
And Margaret sang a little song
about the land the child was going
to very soon. At the second verse
John Fosdyke's voice joined ;. hers
and made it all the sweeter to the
child, for the mans heart made itsel1
felt in the words. AS he sang, he
thought that here, on the threshold
of Heaven, almost, he was looking
forward, as.iff 4 inl.a '.l dream. to a grea1
happiness that. might come into his
life. It seemed almost wrong te
think Of such thing, at such time;

The child heard them: He. a hall
raised himself in bed, and cried out:
z"Oh, the bells! the bells How glac
they sound!" Then he sank down or
the pillow and was still-very still.
God is here,'' John Fosdyae said
in a low, grave voice.
Then the poor mother knew the
truth, and flung herself upon the bed
beside her dead child, and cried bit
terly. Sorrow is the same to the
poor as to the rich, though some
seem to think otherwise. -"
John Fosdyke went out and found
a woman who was willing to help her
poor neighbor in this time of need
and she came and began to prepare
the child for the grave.
''There is nothing you can do,
now," he said to Margaret. ,''I think
it would be better for you to go
home now. You can come again to-
morrow, if you like"
There was a step on the stair, and
a knock at the door.
> Margaret opened it, and Vaughan
Herrick came in.
He started when he saw Fosdyke
there, and a look of disappointment
came into his face. Then he saw
that he was in the presence of
death, and he barred his head rev
erently, in that silent respect men
feel for the sorrows of others.
"Your aunt sent me for you," he
said. 1.-THE carriage is at the door.
Will you come?'
John Fosdyke came and stood by
Margaret. She feft his eyes upon her
face. and raised her own to meet them.
'HVill you ride, or will you walk?"
he asked.
The question was simple one, but
it meant a great deal. It meant
that the time had come for her to
make her choice, or rather, to de-
clare the choice she had already
made.
She felt the full import of the
words, and so did Vaughan Herrick,
and he waited for her answer as the
decision of his fate.
II will awalk-with you," she an
swered, and John Fosdyke knew that
she was thinking of the path through
life, and the words were the sweet
est ones he had ever listened to.
Vaughan Herrick said not a word,
but bowed silently and went out. He
knew that her decision was one from
which there was no appeal. He &C
out of tune with the Christmas bells,
as. he drove home alone along the
white streets.
Side by side Margaret Leith and
John Fosdyke went out into the
night.
For some time neither spoke. At
last he said:
"You are sure of your heart, Mar
garet?'
"Very sure, John," she answered,
earnestly.
IF you walk with me it may be
through rough places and up hill.
Have you thought of that?'
II have thought of it all, John,'' -
she answered, softly. Il am not
afraid. Where you go, can"

his and kissed her, while the bells
rang out a glad peal from a steeple
overhead. They seemed to know
what Joy had come to these two in
that blessed Christmas morning, and
were glad because of it.

have dared to do," he said. my

swered to their names, and the Sher-
if looked somewhat enquiringly at
the Judge, but the latter was calmly

cGsromary: "Any desiring to be ex-

will now come forward" "
Twenty-Five men made a move
ment forward, and the clerk stopped
in his work of noting those who had
failed to respond to the summons to
look in wonder at the entire venire
desiring to escape.
"Well," said the Judge, speaking to
long, thin, nervous-looking young
man, why doyou wish to be excused"
"If it please your Honor, " answered
the aforesaid thin individual, I'D
like to be excused on account Of Ill
ness. I'm suffering from something
that might prove embarrassing to the
other jurors, and it is certainly en-
barrassing to me"
"What is the nature of your illness?'
asked the Judge.
"Well," said the young man, hesi-
tatingly, I'D prefer to tell you in
private. I'm somewhat delicate about
speaking of it in public"

how apropos his observation was, he
