"kEEPING IT DARK"

Harsh Consequences of One Trivial
 Act of Deceit.
 Irene Price was parting with . tall. black-haired man, when Esther Gar land met them, and Esther thought, with thrill of girlish envy, how de- lightful 1t must seem to be grown up and admired. As the stranger turned away, he murmured, Keep It darkl" and then Irene, left alone, swung about and caught Esther by the hand.
 Just In time. Esther!" she cried, with a curious excitement In her man. ner. i've two hours on my hands, and two tickets to the basket ball game"
 But have to go to choir practice" protested Esther, surprised and flat tered. She was only freshman In the Wayland high school, and Irene was a senior, handsome and popular.
 Nonsense! You know those old hymns by heart. l think you're too old for a children's choir, anyway. Oh, come, no ones going to report you at home If you do miss practice once. you little saint"
 And the end of 1t was that Esther, eager to see the game and dazzled by Irene's attention, followed her into the gymnasium.
 Twenty-four hours later Mrs. Gar land sat in her reception hall, facing a reporter for the Herald.
 My business is simply this," he said. Miss Irene Price, one of your daugh- ter's schoolmates, eloped last night with a man of doubtful reputation whom her parents had never even heard of. The theory Is that she must have been meeting him on afternoons when she was supposed to be at the Science Club or Literary Society in the school building, and, as your daughter was with Miss Price at the basket ball game yesterday-"
 That Is enough" said Mrs. Garland, rising. ''I always know where my daughter Is after school. She could not have been with Miss Price. because she went to the church for choir prac- practice"
 But, madam, she was seen-"
 Here she is," interrupted Mrs. Gar. land, as the door opened. And she added, with proud confidence, "She may speak for herself"
 Esther came in, followed by her lit. tie sister. Both girls flushed guIltlly when confronted with the question, but neither hesitated.
 Mother. skipped practice, and went to that game" Esther confessed i've been ashamed every minute since and l meant to tell you all about It tonight, truly I did"
 "So did mean to tell, mother" echoed the little sister. q saw Esther coming out of the game, and she said to keep 1t dark, cause she was s'posed to be at choir practice, and 1t was so nice to have those big girls think she told me secrets"
 Esther" cried her mother, her face suddenly white. You didn't ask your little sister to keep 1t dark'!"
 Mother! mother!" sobbed the girl forgetting everything except the suffer. Ing in her mothers face "I don't know what possessed mel"
 That was enough The reporter hard. ly waited to hear Esther deny all knowledge of Irene Prices elopement

GLASSES WILL NOT INSURE.

Spectacled Man Not Unusually Pro-
 tected by Law Against Assault.
 Itis the common opinion that for striking a man with glasses on there Is a seyerer penalty than for striking him under similar circumstances when he is not wearing glasses. Careful search, however, does not bring forth any statutory provision which declares the offense greater when the man who is struck wears glasses.
 The prevalence of this Idea Is due, 10 doubt, to the probability of the judge in such cases giving the convicted the extreme penalty. The legal term for assault under such circumstances Is mayhem" signlfying that the assail' ant has, in one way or another, de- prived his victim of the power of de lending himself.
 During an altercation from which a struggle Is apt to ensue any one wear Ing glasses would be wise to remove them, unobserved, if possible, however because If noticed 1t night act as a sig nal to begin hostilities
 Many think that glasses would be a source of general protection In these cases, and often take advantage on that ground; but this Is wrong, be. cause no court would hold 1t worse to strike man with glasses on than one without, unless the assailant struck directly at his opponents eyes with the Intent to wound or maim him, and whether one were hit elsewhere would not enter the case at an.-Jeweler' Circular Weekly.

Life and Death.

 Oh, where shall rest be found, Rest for the weary soul? 'Twere vain the oceans depths to soun Or pierce to either pole. The world can never give The bliss for which we sight 'Tis not the whole of life to live Nor all of death to die. Beyond this vale of tears There Is life above Unmeasured by the flight of years, And all that life is love. There is death whose pang Outlasts the feeting breath; Oh, what eternal horrors hang Around the second death Thou God of truth and grace Teach us that death to shun; Lest We be banished from thy face, For evermore undone.
