A Portrait.

She is altogether woman yet not alto
gether human,
For the devil has his share in her-4
goodly share, at that!
And he turks in every dimple-Satan'S
snare for wise and simple
And he hides in every angle of her
dainty picture-hat-
She's demure. and yet she's witty. and
she's prettier than pretty;
She's bewitching-more's the pity; for
on seeing her our souls
PROSTATE fall at once before her. just
as if each mad adorer
Were a helpless human tenpin. and
her eyes were playing bowls!
She has faults and fo1lies. many; vir-
lures very few, if any:
She will sigh when you merry. she
will smile when you make moan.
She could love poor Hian-never. Oh,
in fact. she's far too clever
To love any one forever, save her pref
ty self alone,
She will gladly spend an hour in a high
er bid for power.
In arranging bow or flower of the cap
SHE sets for you:
But Q moments time for duty Is too
much to ask of Beauty.
Leave such things to palmer women
that have nothing else to do.
Oh, I sketch her thus that others, un-
suspecting men and brothers.
All may profit by the portrait. 50 that
he who reads may run
Run SO swiftly from the sitter, to avert
a fate bitter.
That perchance she'll deem It litter to
make me the Only One.

were the two strangers? But Sandy
did not have to wait long for enlight-
eminent. Judge of his state of mind
when, three days later, he read the
following telegraph news item:
The mystery surrounding the muir
der of the gambler James Paxton is
growing deeper. 1t is understood that
a welt-known horse-trainer was sus-
pected of the crime. 1t will be remem-
bered that the murder occurred early
in the morning of March 2. 1t now
transpires that the man who was be-
lieved to be the murderer was in an
other town, over four hundred miles
away, on the day of the tragedy, and
that it was impossible that he could
have had anything to do with~sthe
killing of Paxton"
