Another Steals His Wife.

Joe" welcomed her back again and all was well for nine months, when she sud- denly sold out again and decamped The next he heard was in the shape of a letter from d sergeant of police of Buffalo, N. Y, in which he told of his love for Mrs Holdswortn and asked the lawful husband to give her up so that he could marry her.
 Instead of replying, Holdsworth sent the letter to the chief of police. The sergeant was dropped from the depart ment and Joe" heard afterward that he and Mrs. Holdsworth ran away together
 Three years ago Joe learned that his erring wife was dead, and he is satisfied that the report is true for he adds
 T know she would come back to me if she were alive l love her yet, and would gladly take her back"
 When he was offered the posi ton on the island he was glad to get away to hide himself from the world with all it's trials and tribulations. He was very anxious to locate in England, and for this reason appealed to the Rev Francis Carr lthers, who had the inquiry placed in the News.
 'Joe's" Gelight knew no bounds when he received d letter recently from rela- tive stating that he had noticed the item in the News and had notified all h s folk, who are now in correspondence with the caretaker of the lonely island
 "I want to thank the News for finding my relatives and making me really happy for the first time in so many years, " he says
 And the tears dimmed his eyes as he meditated on the sad story of his life.

me now-I am dying. For sixteen years I have borne in awful silence the curse of Cain. The ghose of murder has walked untamed at my side through all this bitter time. My innocent child here has looked into her fathers face day after day and year after year. dreaming noth- ing of my horrible secret I have man aged to hide from her the grief that Is gnawing at my soul. Now. 1 must tell it all. l cannot die with the thing locked in my bosom. Young man, you are a stranger to me but your kindly face tells me that you can give sympathy to an old man whose life - been one of unre- lcnting misery"
 Outside the miserable mountain cabin fierce September storm was making war with the elements Now and then far up the mountain side the crack and crash of breaking timber rose above the howl of the wind and rain.
 Tie old man trmebled and drew the mean coverings of his couch more closely about him. girl of IT years knelt on the rudely hewn floor at the old mans side, her arms about his neck.
 
 Lest in the mountains l had wandered for hours in an aimess endeavor to find my way or shelter against the storm that was threatening. Just as the wind and rain broke with sudden fury over the hills and forest l came upon this cabin in recess of the mountain A feeble light had directed me to the door The girl welcomed me with surprising eagerness, but when she tearfully related tn me the Illness of her aged father | understood.
 Though she was worn with long watch ing at her fathers bedside this wild girl of the wilderness was beautiful The health of the mountains was painted in her delicate cheeks. She led me to a bed in a darkened corner of the room
 The grizzled, pershing face half con- eoaled in the blankets regarded me at first with suspicion but was reassured by the daughter.
 For long time the dying man re- garded my face with half conscious in terest, apparently debating in his mind some tangled problem. Then turning to the wall he lay in silence. The daughter thought he slept and knelt quietly at his side l knew from the distorted fea- lures and the set expression of the glassy eyes that some horrible memory haunted his soul and that neither brain nor spirit slept
 At last he turned his face slowly. It was tense with a strange determination In husky whisper he began to speak the words quoted in the opening paragraph of this narrative.
 Daughter my child, can you forgive your poor old father when you know all God bless you and keep you. For all these years I have smiled in my misery and have tried to be a dutiful parent have seemed cheerful to you while in my soul l suffered the tortures of hell. To shield myself and you ] have buried you in a living grave, denying you the asso- citation of Christian people. I have not only murdered my fellow man, but have murdered your soul"
 Father is delirious. He does not know what he is saying" said the girl tearfully
 Daughter l would to God it were de- lirium and that all this horrible thing were only a dream, I am perfectly con scious of all I am saying. Listen: Sixteen

Pet Hog His Companion.

Joe Is a sad faced little man, and, when pressed, Is quite a pleasant con versationalist. That is, he will talk about the ships that have gone aground in the vicinity of the island, and of everything else but the story of his sorrow, his love romance. He will tell you about Billy" from the day of his birth. .l.a.
 Who Is "Billy2i Why, Billy is a big pig which is trained like an intelligent dog and woe to the person who sets foot on the island without first haillng Joe" When Billy was born he was different than the other piggies and seemed to be too weak to caper about. Joe" felt sorry for the piggy and cared for 1t as though 1t were a child. Since then all the others of the drove of hogs have been sold, but Joe" and Billy remain nseparable pals,

 When she returned two weeks later she admitted that she had been in Montreal, where she had spent every cent she had received for the sale of the household goods well as the cash she had saved
