Mothers Prayer

Fondly do now remember.
Words she spake in accents low,
As watched life's fick'ring ember,
Fainter and still fainter grow;
Craven on my heart forever,
Sweet to mem'ry now and aye,
Are those words she softly WHISPERED
As she gently pass'd away;
Darling, when | shall have left thee,
Trust thyself to heavens care,
One thro' life will then direct thee,
One who hears thy mothers pray'r"
Many sweet and loving faces
Thro' life's journey have known,
Yet in thought my vision traces
Her dear face, and hers alone;
Always in the hour of trouble,
These loy'd features life display,
And hear the words she WHISPERED,
As she gently passed away;
Darling, when shall have left thee.
Trust thyself to heavens care,
One thro' life viii then direct thee.
One who hears thy mothers pray'r!"

bird trampled upon me. All my clothing was

men come to my rescue and beaten the bird

As soon as he had heard enough to satisfy
himself that any present effort OIL the part Of
the Ventures crew to head off the mutineers
had been rendered impracticable, Lieutenant
Pomeroy called up the second officer in COM
mand of the party.
Acting under the first officers orders. the

"The question is, how much did the rob-

could not see the utility of discussing what

the moment of the explosion, but to his
mind the noise it made must have been little
less than thunderous. Lieutenant Pomeroy
was able to offer an explanation.

or found somewhere in the back room" he
said.
at came out of the back ROOM" interpo-
lated the watchman, who was examining the
heap by the light of the dark-lantern which
the robbers had left behind them.
"They. used the bedding. to nluffle the
sound of the explosions" added the cadet.
There could be no doubt that the robbers
had secured some plunder. but how much
the watchman was naturally not in a, posi-
ticn to be able to determine. 1hey had seen
| enough, however, to satisfy the policeman,
and he proceeded at once to give general
alarm.
He sent the watchman to summon. the
banks cashier-who was the bank official
living the nearest-while he, accompanied by
the cadet-ieutenant, hurried to arouse the
sheriff, who had residence at the other end
of the town.
BY the time they all got together at the
bank it was broad daylight. Here they were
joined by the principal of the Westbrook
Academy. After the exchange of only
few words, the principal dispatched Lieu
tenant Poneroy to the academy, with orders
to hold himself and the Ventures crew in
readiness for action.
Lieutenant Pomeroy understood what this
order meant when. three hours later. or.

the school-boat to repair at once to the. VII

In the cabin of the steamer, Mr.. Salisbury

gard you and the cadets under your command

ran past the third one, and started to climb
the tree. 1t was not quick enough, for the
third bear pulled it down, gave it good cuff
ing and made it clear out. As soon as the lit
tie bear saw that the second one wasn't like

it backed down the tree and shared the meat
with the third bear. The farmer who had
witnessed these proceedings was SO amazed
that he did not attempt to modest the actors

A Maryland farmer has a curiosity in the
shape of domesticated wolf. Last spring
he discovered that something was carrying
off his lambs almost as fast as they were
born in his flock. He suspected that this
was being doing by wildcat, and he set a
trap to catch the marauder. Instead of a
wildcat, the trap caught wolf, and the
farmer promptly dispatched it. Hardly had
he done so, when a little baby wolf made its
appearance from the brush and moaned pite-
ously around its dead mother. The farmer
took it home, and for few days it was in
good way to starve to death, when the farm
