CHILD LOVE.

When weary and worn with the struggle
in seeking life's coveted prize
When clouds of despair hover round me
and shut out the blue of the skies;
At times when / feel so discouraged and
burdened from bearing the load
That seems to completely o'erwhelm me
while struggling along the rough
road.
'1is then for relief, that l turn me away
from the world and entwine
My arms round the one who still loves
me-this golden-haired baby of mine
What temptations can not conquer?
What battles not win if the prize
Is the love and the mute alteration that
beam in my little ones eyes?
With her dimDled arms thrown around
me- and her baby voice in my ear.
There's sunshine forever about me, and
all of my doubts disappear.
The beacons of hope that inspire me are
the love-lights that trustfully shine
In the brown eyes of one who adores me
this golden-haired baby of mine.
The blossoms of spring may all wither
and the birds lose their power Of
song,
Yet life has a sweeter attraction than
these to entice me along;
Her smile. like the sunbeams of MONDAY
brings gladness and warmth and
good cheer,
And drives off the shadows of darkness
and doubt that are lowering near
God take away from me forever the riches
of earth, but enshrine
The wealth of the love of my treasure
this goldcn-haired baby of mine!

1t is a rule, to which good lawyers
usually adhere, never TO tell more
than one knows. \ newspaper tells
a funny story of lawyer who car
ried the rule to the extreme.
One of the agents in a Midland re-
vision court in England objected to
a person whose name was on the reg
lister, on the ground that he was
dead. The revising barrister declined
to accept the assurance, however,
and demanded conclusive testimony
on the point.
The agent of the other side rose
and gave corroborative evidence as
to the deccase of the gentlemen in
question.
But, sir, how do you know the
mans dead?" demanded the barris,
ter.
We'll" was the reply, 81 don't
know. It's very difficult to prove"
"As / suspected" returned the bar
rister. you don't know whether
he's dead or not"
The barrister glanced triumph
antIy round the court, but his eX-
preston gradually underwent a
change as the witness coolly con-
tinued:
Il was saying, sir, that I don't
know whether he is dead or not, but
l do know this: they buried him
about month ago on Suspicion

One man thinks he has discovered
the cause of the remarkable age at
taiped by negroes. These instances
are far from rare in Dis;eland and
the obituary of more than one colored
servant relates that deceased often
spoke of Lafayette, George Wash
ington, and others. 1t is largely a
matter of arithmetic-bad arithme-
tic.
One of the two servants in this
family is a colored nanny. The other
day she went to her employer and
said:
''Mars John, what youall goin' to
glib me on nah buhfday?"
"When is your birthday, Auntie?"
he asked.

stage of the proceedings, Sergt
Crabb, of the cavalry, was the most
experienced Indian fighter left at the
post. Crabb was sent fer, and un-
tlinchingly gave his views. The Sioux
had probably scattered before the
Squadrons sent after them from the
north; had fed into the hills. and, in
small bands probably, were now raid
ing down toward the Platte, well
knowing there were few soldiers left
to defend Fort Frayne, and no cavalry
We're there to chase them.
What brings them here? What do
they hope to get or gain?' asked
Flint.
Il do not know, sir" answered
Crabb. "But this | do know, they are
after something and expect to get
it. If | might make so bold, sir, l
think the major ought to keep an eye
on them blasted halfbreeds at Hays"
1t set Flint to serious thinking.
Pete and Crapaud, paid henchmen of
the trader, had been taking advantage
| of their employers absence and cele-
brating after the manner of their
kind. One of his officers, new like
himself to the neighborhood and to
the Indians. had had encounter with
| the two that rubbed his commits
stoned fur the wrong way. a sentry,
in discharge of his duty, had warned
them one evening away from the rear
gate of Il bachelor den, along Off
| GERS row, and had been told to go
TO sheol, or words 20 that effect. They
had more business there than he had,
| said they, and, under the potent sway
of 'inspiring bold John Barleycorn"
had not even abated their position
when the extraordinarily happened
| along. They virtually damned and
| detied him, too.
The extraordinarily reported to
the commanding officer, and that
officer called on Mrs. Hay to tell her
he should order the culprits off the
reservation if they were not better
behaved. Mrs. Hay, so said the serv-
ant, was feeling far from well and
had to ask to be excused, when who
| should appear but the ministering
angel Mrs. Dade herself, and Mrs.
Dade undertook to tell Mrs. Hay of
the misconduct of the men, even
when assuring Major Flint she feared
it was a matter in which Mrs. Hay
was powcrless. They were afraid
of Hay, but not of her. Hearing of
Mrs. Hays illness, Mrs. Dade and
other women had come to visit and
console her, but there were very few
she would now consent to see. Even
though confident no bodily harm
would befall her husband or her
niece. Mrs. Hay was evidently sore
disturbed about something. Failing
to see her, Maj. Flint sent for the
bartender and clerk, and bade them

say where these truculcnt. semi-sav-
age bacchanals got their whisky,
and both men promptly and conf
IDENTIFY declared it wasn't al the store
Neither of them would give or sell
to either haIfbreed a drop, and old
wilkins stood sponsor for the integ-
rity of the atlantis, both of whom he
had known for years and both of
whom intimated that the two speci-
mems had no need to he begging, buy
ing or stealing whisky, when Bill
Hays private cellar held more than
enough to fill the whole Sioux nation.
"Moreoyer," said Pink Marble,
they've got the run of the stables
now the old mans away, and there
isn't night some of those horses
amt OUT When Flint said that was
something Mrs. Hay ought to know,
Pink Marble replied that was some
thing Mrs. Hay did know. unless she
refused to believe the evidence of her
own senses as well as his, and Pink
thought it high time our fellows in
the field had recapturcd Hay and
fetched him home. If it wasn't done
mighty soon he, Pink. wouldn't be
answerable for what might happen
at the post.
All the more anxious did this make
Flint. He decided that the eXigencies
of the case warranted his putting a
sentry over Hays stable, with orders
to permit no horse to be taken out
except by an order from him, and
Crabb took him and showed him, two
days later, the tracks of two horses
going and coming in the soft earth
in front of narrow side door that
led to the corral. Flint had this door
padlocked at once and Wilkins took
the key, and that night was surprised
by note from Mrs. Hay.
THE stabiemen complain that the
sentries will not let them take the
horses out even for water and exer-
else, which has never been the case
before" and Mrs. Hay begged that the
restriction might be removed. Indeed,
ii Mai Flint would remove the SEN
try, she woulotassume all responsible
ity for loss or damage. The men had
been with Mr.. Hay, she said, for six
years and never had been interfered
with before, and they were sensitive
and hurt and would quit work, they
said, il further molcstcd. Then there

when twas gone, and more was want
ed, sure Pete said he'd taken a demi-
john to the lieutenant's, with Mr..
Hays compliments, the day before he
left for the front, and sure he
couldn't have drunk all av it, and if
the back dure was open Pete would
inquire anyhow"
That was all Michael remembered
or felt warranted i'll revealing, for
stoutly he declared his and their in
nocence of having burglariously en-
tered any premises, let alone the
lieutenant's. Sure they'd bite tlp4s
own noses off fur him." said MIGA,
which impossible feat attested the full
measure of half-breed devotion. Mis-
tress McGann decided to make further
investigation before saying anything
to anybody; but before the dawn of
another day, matters took such shape
that fear of sorrowful consequences,
involving even Michael, set ban on
her impulse to speak. Field, it seems,
bad been at last induced to sleep
some hours that evening, and it was
nearly twelve when he awOke and
saw his desk On a table near the win
dow. The attendant was nodding in
an easy chair; and, just rs the young
officer determind to rouse him, Mrs.
Dade, with the doctor, appeared on
tiptoe at the doorway. For a few
minutes they kept him interested in
letters and reports concerning his
fathers condition, the gravity of
which, however, was still withheld
from him. Then there were reports
from Tongue River, brought in by
courier. that had to be told him But
after a while he would no longer be
denied. He had demanded to see his
desk and his letters.
At a sign from the doctor, the at
tendant raised it from the table and

you had had time. They were lying

But he got no further Field had
started up and was leaning on one
elbow. The other arm was out
stretched. What do you mean?" he
cried, The desk hasn't been
opened?"
Too evidently, however, it had been,
and in an instant Field had pulled a
brass pin that held in place little
drawer. 1t popped part way out, and
with trembling hands he drew it
forth-empty.
Before he could speak Mrs. Dadc
suddenly held up her hand in signal
for silence, her face paling at the in
stant. There was rush of slippered
feet through the corridor, a hum of
excited voices, and both DR.. Waller
and the attendant darted for the
door.
Outside in the faint starlight,
sound of commotion came from the
direction of the guard house-of
swift footballs from far across the
parade, of the vitreous jar of win
dows hastily raised. Two or three
lights popped suddenly into view
along the dark line of officers quar-
ters, and Walters voice, with a ring
of authority unusual to him, halted a
running corporal of the guard.
"What is ?" demanded he.
81 don't know, sir" was the sol
dier's answer "There was an awful
scream from the end of the quarters
Capt. Rays, Sir" Then on he went
again.
And then came the crack, crack of
a pistol.
