THE DUsKY NIGHT.

 How better than the radiant, golden day love the dusky, stall mysterious night, When Twilight. slipping down the starry
 way,
 Unfolds her somber curtain 'gainst the night; And troops of purple shadows softly steal Through dewy haunts with velvet-shod-
 den feet, Armed with their silver lances that reveal With luminous radiance their dim retreat. @I love the scented silence. when the flowers. sensuous and sweet, with heavy dropping
 heads, Distilling perfume through the lonely Are sleeping in their dewy garden-beds; 5; And all the jeweled sky is bending low Over the earth, it's watch and ward to
 keep, In azure depths it's censers swing and glow, K Their golden lights reflected in the deep. love the soft, dark mystery that conceals Nights hidden things within its shadowy
 way
 While whispering voices stealthily reveals The tryst of gnon1es that vanish ere the
 day I love the rune and rhythm of midnight
 winds
 Harping weird anthems in their mystic
 flight An, yes. far better than the radiant day love the somber. dark. mysterious night. Elizabeth Clarke Hardy, in Woman's s Home Companion

MARRIED PRISON FRS.
REAL RoMANCEs THAT ARE AS
 STRANGE AS FICTION.
New York Policeman Fell in Love
 with Girl He Had Arrested for Murder English "Cop" .i4 Weeds Shop Litter.

Some years ago well known author wrote an interesting shilling shocker"
 In which the sbeautifuI heroine is ac- cused of murder. The official who ar rests her falls desperately in love with his pretty prisoner, and later the young lady had been found guilty, sentenced to death, reprieved at the last moment, and finally, through the timely re- morse and confession of the real cul- prit, is set free without stain on her character" the courteous detective Greatly a man of high family who has joined the force" as cure for en- nuD pops the question, is accepted, and the two are made one in the last has recently had its prototype in real life, proving the correctness of the old adage that truth, minus the embroid- eey, is every bit as strange as fiction.
 The lady in the present instance is, or rather was, Miss Lillian Thomasch, of New York, who last July had 3 ter rible experience in the Bronx, outly- lying district of the city. She was walking one evening near One Hum hred and Sixty-third street with MT. Charles Roxbury, whom she had known for 15 years, when negro stole up behind them and, with a heavy club, felled MT. Roxbury to the ground. Miss Thomasch fled screaming and sought refuge in a house three streets away.
 As soon as the murder became known Luke F. Gordon, a policeman attached to the Fremont station, was sent to arrest Miss Thomasch, and dur Ing the week following he kept the young lady under surveillance. taking her many times to court to give evil dence before the coroner and District Attorney Jerome. Gordon appears to
