NEW CASTLE, Dec. 6-The choral

silver collections amounted to 1895. Of
which Sl.40 was cleared and turned

well given.

After luncheon speeches were made
by Messrs Edgar c. Bross, Jacob T..

just at that instant, and the angry stationer
saw and beckoned to him.
"It is lucky you came along" he said, as
the policeman entered. do you see this
boy! He was trying to steal some of those
Easter eggs, and tipped over and smashed a
whole boxful. All you can do, L suppose, ls
to put him in Jail, and not cent shall l get

He released Jeddie as he spoke, and the
boy, dizzy and pale, looked from him to the
policeman puiteously.
Il didn't mean any harm, indeed / did
~ he exclaimed, clasping his hands to-
gether. Il only wanted to touch them--they
were SO beautiful, and my sister had been
telling me all about Easter. But l didn't

At this Horton stepped forward, with an
agltated face, and, in tremulous voice, in
terposed:
IL think there is a mistake. II don't
believe he broke the eggs
Nobody cares what you believe" said the
stationer, gruffly.
Horton tried to go on with the confession
he knew now he ought to make; but the
words stuck In his throat, and his courage
failed him.
The policeman glanced at him, and then at
,Ieddie. Nv
Haven't l. | seen you round the streets with

Jeddie cast down his eyes uneasily.
He lives in our court, and used to 90 off
with him sometimes; but don't now"
Il thought you were one of them" said
the policeman, with satisfied expression,
1len, turning to the stationer, and grasn;ng
Jeddle by the arm, he added: "It's n GOOD

Horton, very pale, made an impetuous step
forward while the confession he had with
held rose to his lips.
Jeddie's mouth, and held it there tightly;
then with the other dragged him away, the
door closing behind them.
Horton did not follow. 1t seemed too late
now, and, after all, was it not better so! Ii
Jeddie belonged to gang Of boy thieves, as
the policeman declared, probably he had in
tended to steal, even though he was innocent
of tipping over the box. Yet his look of an
guish and plaintive words rang accusingy in
Horizons ear.
The customers who had been IN the store
had gone out just before the exciting scene
took place, or perhaps poor Jeddie might
have found protector. In that case Horton
would have been more courageous.
"Such boys ought to be hung..every one Of
them," growled the stationer, who had begun
picking up the fragments of his Easter eggs.

the Judge will make his sentence hard"

He stood on the edge of the curbstone mo-

see nothing Of the policeman and his prisoner.
It was with heavy heart that Horton
turned slowly in the direction of home.
"You are Just the fellow we want. Come
down to the vestry, and help us trim it for
tomorrow"
Horton glanced around at the familiar
voice, and saw his schoolmate, BERTHE War.

AS Jeddie stood glancing wistfully from
under his shabby old hat at the unopened
box, Horton Bond came hurrying in.
Il would like to see some cards, ne said.
He was taller than Jeddie, although not
much older, and his clothes and manner told
OF more fortunate life.
The stationer was very busy with other
customers and, in an absent way, took OIL
the cover of the box Jeddie was watshing
then, perceiving his mistake, pushed another
containing the desired cards over the counter
toward Horton.
But the latter had caught sight of the Gle
gantly decorated eggs, and stopped to admire
them. He even took one up by its dainty
blue ribbon, and Jeddie almost held his
breath with delight.

box. As he did so, the statoner happened to

Jeddie skunk back, blushing with shame,
and ready to cry at the injustice of the
charge. Horton glanced at him over his
shoulder, wondering if he was really bad
enough to do such things; then carefully re.

on to examine the cards.
AS he did so, his elbow, by some careless

The extortion Of the express com.

drive the Republican party from pow.
or. We quote from the st. Louis
Globe Democrat:
"Grest Britain's parcels post car.
ried last year 100000 packages at
a profit Of $12, 100000. The charge
in the United Kingdom from three
pound parcel by mail, with house-to.
house collection ana delivery, is 10
cents. In the United States the post.
age on a 8 pound parcel is AZ cents.
The British postal surplus last year
was $22, 100000. In the United
States last year the postal deficit
was $13, 900, OO0."
The express companies, like the life
INSURANCE companies, make big con.
tributions to the Republican cam
