IN THE SILENCE.

TAey are out of the chaos OF living,
The wreck and debris of the years;
Ihey have passed from the struggle and
striving,
They have finished their goblet of tears:
They have ceased, one by one, from their
labors,
So we clothed them in garments Of rest,
Aud they entered the Chamber Of Si-
lence-
God do for them now what is bestl
We saw not the lift Of the Curtain
Nor heard the invisible Door
As they passed where lifes problems
uncertain
VIII follow and vex them no more.
We fingered and wept on the threshold
The threshold each mortal must cross
Then we laid new wreath down upon it.
To mark new sorrow and loss.
Then back to our separate places
A little more lonely we creep,
with a little more care in our faces,
The wrinkles a little more deep.
And we stagger, All Godi how we stagger
AS we lift the old load to our back,
a little more lonely to carry
Fer want of the comrade we lack.
But into our lives, whether chidden
Or welcome, Gods comforters come;
His sunshine waits not to be hidden,
His stars-they are always at home;
His mornings are faithful, His twilights
Allay the days fever and fret;
And Night-kind hysician-entreats us
To slumber and dream, and forget.
o Spirit Of Infinite Kindness,
And gentleness passing all speech!
Forgive when we miss in our blindness
The comforting Hand Thou dost reach.
Thou sendest the Spring on Thine errand
To soften the grief of the world;
For US is the calm of the mountain,
For US is the roseleaf uncurledl
Thou art tenderer, too, than a mother,
In the wonderful Book it is said.
o Pillow of Comfort! what other
So softly could cradle my head?
And though Thou hast darkened the
Portal
That leads where our vanished ones be,
We lean on our faith in Thy goodness,
And leave them to Silence and Thee

Job had no trouble in finding his
way to the lawyers house, despite
the gathering night. He walked like
a man who is sure of his way. As
he came nearer the humble-looking
cottage he paused for a moment in
hesitation.
Looks like the abode Of innocence
and peace" he muttered. Foxes are
careful not to betray the character
of their holes from the outside. 1

the worthy Henslow? 1 hardly
thought a man of his ambitions
would be satisfied to rust in coun-
try town all his life"
He approached nearer the house,
and stood for a moment looking up
at the windows.
''Not a light in sight. I wonder
if the family are all away. At least
she is here, and that is all 1 care for.
1 should not like greatly to come
in contact with the lawyer"
He moved around to the side of
the building, and stood for a mo-
ment debating what to do under the
circumstances. The place wore such
a deserted look that he was unde-
cided
AS he stood there in the shadow of
a tree he was aware of a step in
the road, and drew back closer into
the shadows. A man came into
view whose features he could not
make out, but who seemed to be
dressed in well-fitting clothes, and
carried himself with certain jaunty
air.
The newcomer, as he approached
the house, seemed to be looking from
right to left, as if he feared to be
seen. He walked past the building,
peering into the shadows. Job Hen

fence among the bushes, and won

The stranger, having satisfied him

neighborhood, went up to the front
door of the cottage and raped on it
softly in a peculiar way.

Hendricks did not appear. Then,
after a moments hesitation, he

He saw Hendricks pass out
shrough the front door and walk
with a lazy air down the main ave

did he stop to look back at the house
that he had just left.

Ellison uttered an oath, turned
away, walked up and down the room
several times and then, pausing be-

inspecting his cigar with critical
interest, said:

The other waited until he had
shaken the ashes from his cigar, and
then replied, in a very mild voice:

PASSING SHADOWS.

Hendricks left the park in a
thoughtful mood. He had much to
ruminate on. It was strange how
his thoughts ran on that ragged indi-
vidual he had seen for a moment out
of the window, the man who seemed
to worry Ellison so much, more
than anything else that had happened
during the visit.
'Why was he so worried lest the
fellow should be seen?" he asked him
self on the way back to the town.
Can it be that that person is in
any way connected with the tragedy?
Well, time will tell" 1t was only
when he entered the town that he
remembered his brief interview with
the blind man. He felt so sure that
his fancies had misled him that he
was delighted to see that worthy
seated on the steps of the meeting
house, soliciting in a quavering voice
charity from passers-by.
cit must have been fancy after
aIl-that man could not be here, -
muttered Job, as he approached the
blind man again.
The patriarch was seated on the
stone steps of the church, his hat was
off, and he seemed to be trying to get
a breath Of fresh air, modicum of
the faint breeze that had sprung up
just then.
"Here is a little to help you along,
friend" and Hendricks dropped a
dime in the tin cup he wore about
his waist.
The blind man uttered his thanks,
and then, taking off his glasses, pro-
ceeded to rub them carefully.
Job turned away, shaking his
head, after looking the beggar over
slowly and carefully.
"Wen, am certainly getting fool
ish in my old age. There, 1 fancied
when first saw the fellow that he
was looking for me-" He rubbed his
eyes for a moment, and then: JOB,
you are getting to be an old fool!
How is 1t possible that he could have
followed you here?"
He resumed his road, and yet he
did not feel wholly at ease as he
made his way to the BluebeI.
The landlord was delighted to see
him at such an early hour.
81 thought you would not come un-
til night" ventured Mr.. Bowersox.
"What does it matter to you when
I come, as long as / pay for what
get?" said Job, in a moody voice,
though he had no intention of of
Tending the inn-keeper.
"You would like to see yer room,
perhaps?"
''Well, yes, and go to it, if it is the
SAINT to you"
AS he spoke, Hendricks pumped
down on a chair in the cafe. He was
plainly in no good-natured mood.
Il wish you would send to the de-
pot for my baggage, as I intend to
spend some days here" he remarked
after moments silence.
Peter, who had already harmed
the value of such a profitable guest
was at his side in an Instant.
"You shall have your stuff in ter
minutes, sir" be said. Then, going
to the back of the hotel, he sum
moned up small darky and instruct
