Standing very quietly in front of that motley audience, she told them why she was trying to bring music into their lives. There was always happi- ness in song, and even if one were in deep trouble there were hymns for comforting. Life might be made easier if one would carol along the way, easier for oneself and for the broth CT who had not learned to sing. She was teaching lullabies to the little girls and songs of patriotism to the little boys, so that love of home and of country might be implanted in their hearts.
 And when she had finished her little talk and come down the aisle, quiet figure in her gray gown, love for her shone in patient eyes and despairing eyes and vacant eyes and hands were outreached to touch her.
 The minister, hearing broken Ital- ian murmur in front of him, translat- ed to Miss. Caroline as she took her seat beside him. ''They say you have a voice of gold.'
 ''They mean Gloria
 ''No, it is you. You do not need the voice of song for you to speak with the voice of love, and they love you" Z
 Worn with excitement, she said, with quivering lips, 'I need their love-
 Something in her voice made him ask quickly. "Why?"
 "I am all alone"-
 But love you," he said. 'I thought you knew. But I am a plain man. scarcely dared to speak of it."
 Her face was illumined. .
 Think of the work we can do to- gether," was all the outlet she allowed herself
 But the lover in him shone for mo- ment in his strong face. Think of the nest we shall build together" he murmured, and then he went to make his speech, while quiet Miss Caroline in the midst of that listening audience gloried in his eloquence and hugged her happiness to her heart.

Superstitions of Thieves.

The pickpocket is superstitious. He will rarely rob person who squints. this being accounted certain sign of disaster, and if 1t happens that the purse he steals contains foreign money it is believed to augur that he will travel a good deal in the immediate future, but whether in the company of a couple of police officers or not there is nothing to show.
 Weddings and funerals are signifl- cant events for the professional thief. To pick pocket at funeral would be to court immediate disaster, but many of them think if purse stolen at wedding contains gold it portends the best of luck for the thief during the ensuing six months.
 Some pickpockets have favorite pair of boots that they wear as long as they can keep them on their feet, and if they are not arrested while they are wearing them they cut the boots up into little square pieces and give them away as ''lucky tokens" to their friends.-London Chronicle.
