Trick of Library Thief.

In addition to the book thieves there
are the thieves of periodicals and the
thieves who make practice OF steal
ing engravings from the rare old
books. The engraving thief has sim
pie method which is known to every
librarian In his pocket he carries an
innocent-looking string. When the at
tendant is not looking he vets the
string in his mouth and places it be-
tween the pages where he wishes to-
take out the engraving. The weight
of the covers presses the moistened
string into the paper, cutting the page
through along the line of the string

to 1t with low murmurS and careSSeS or
tenderness. She was still hanging over
the little creature, absorbed and un-
conscious of the others, when Jim left
his sister and crossed the room to her
She looked up and started, that ex-
preston still upon her face. "Give her
to mel" said the child's father, almost
roughly. And, taking 1t In his arms,
he carried it quickly out of the room.
"It is for him to decide" said Mary,
simply, after little pause.
"Yes," Helen assented. She was con-
tent to hold her piece after that. 1t
was for Jim to decide, and she had lit
tie fear as to the result,
The wears low voice, the stately
phrases of the baptismal service,
sounded solemnly in the silence.
Helen bowed her head, and could not
see for tears. There was little stir
among the others The child's father,
very white and quiet, had taken her
from the nurse and given her himself
into the arms of the clergyman. He
was an old man, dry and lifeless as
withered leaf, but there was a tremo"
in his voice, as he gave the child back
to her father. He took her, and with
bowed head went quickly towards his
sister-in-law, to Mary, and laying tho
child in her arms, stood there beside
her until the last prayer had been said.
and the last Amen" had fallen with
ineXpresSible melancholy and pathos
upon the deepened hush.
With characteristic energy and self
control, Helen hid her feelings deep
within her heart, and showed, through
out the rest of that day, composure
and sweetness which would have de-
ceived any but those who knew her
best Within herself she was saying
passionately that she should never for
give her brother Her disappointment
was too keen, her sense of all it meant
to her too deep and bitter But for the
moment she couIu but accept it silent
ly, graciously, as she knew the other
woman would have done in her place.
In the evening, when Jim and his
sister were left alone together at last
for moment in the library, he went
over to Helen by the fire, and took her
hand.
"You are disappointed, Helen?" ne
asked.
She could not trust herself to speak,
but stood looking down in a silence
that was all too eloquent to the broth
er who understood her so well.
You must forgive me, DEAR" he
said. "It was hard, Helen. Heaven
knows-but there was just one thing
that settled it for me- l was thinking
of Katherine-of the baby-and-I
saw it plainly enough-you women
cannot keep anything out of your faces,
you know; Helen, you wanted-me;
but Mary wanted-the baby!'
The unsparing inevitable appeal OF
the truth went home to Helen's heart.
She acknowledged it in silence, look
ing straight into her brothers eyes
sad. earnest, unwavering.
And then she broke down and cried,
with her face against his arm, and
woman-like, forgave him.-Lady's
