its manned and hunted victim; it had
added her beautiful heart to the bags

sought the form of my old schoolmate,
my college chum, my partner, my
friend, the man / loved. He was on

turned to his wife. His clasped hands
had been raised in an awful, heart

Maine Woman Has Pet Deer.

Mrs. Nellie Smith, of Sebec, Me-,
has a tame deer which is nearly two
years old now, but which she has
raised like cosset lamb, feeding II
from bottle at first and making o
great pet of it. 1t was given to her
by lumberman, who overlook it in
the deep snow and caught it in his
arms when it was no larger than a
cat, except for it's legs. 1t has always
been perfectly tame and domesticated,
never having known anything of the
wild life of its kind, but runs about
the premises unrestrained, having its
place in the stable on cold nights.
The deer are numerous around Sebec,
and it is question whether, as Mrs.
Smiths pet grows older, it will not
answer to the "call of the wild" and
join its comrades in the forest.

A $40, 900 TREASURY ROBBERY.
Clever Work of Detective Revealed
the Thief.

The robbery of the sub-treasury In
Chicago recalls the fact that the
treasury department in Washington
was the victim of $4,000 theft about
80 years ago. At first, although no
reasonable explanation of how the
thing could have been done by an out
slider could be given, 1t was assumed
that it was the work of some one I'M
connected with the Office in which the
robbery occurred. 1t was not long,
however, before clever detective
became acquainted with the fact that
one of the clerks who might have had
access to the bundle Of bills was &C
quainted with professional gambler
of shady antecedents. That discovery
solved the problem. A little patient
watching resulted in catching the
gambler with the stolen notes, and
the rest was easy. The clerk was ar
rested, and, while In confinement, was
given to understand that he was be-
trayed, whereupon he confessed the
robbery, which was accomplished by
showing the package of notes, all OF
large denominations, into a position
where they could be "snaked UP"
with cane provided with hook.

How New Words ORIGINATE.

In the latest volumes OF the New
England dictionary" DR.. Murray and
Mr.. Henry Bradley give some very
interesting examples of how words
have come into the language. 1t is
curious to see how a new discovery
extends our vocabulary. For in.
stance, the discovery of photography
has led to 234 words being added to
the language. DR.; Murray fixes March
IA, 1889, as the birthday Of the word
photography 1t was on that day
that Sir John Herschel used it in a
paper which he read before the Royal
society. The new word took root in
France. and two or three months
later, when Argo made his report to
