A WORD TO BOYS.

Our young friend, did you ever know-can you call to mind sin gle case of a person, who, having his own way to make in the world, spent his time on the street or in any other form of idleness or dissi- patton, to succeed in an eminent degree in any enterprise? Look over your list of friends and ac- quaintances and note their course. Do you not find upon examination that those who today are men of influence and honor. were the youths who made the most of val uable time, turning it to good ac- count? And on the other hand, do you not find that those who stood on corners with pipe or cigar in their mouth, went from bad to worse, from worse to ruin? Sadly must the answer be made-oh, that it were not SO they have failed. Will you profit by the ex- perience of others? Go not that way. Never be idle. Every mo- ment of your time is golden one, use it as such. improve the mind, fix your mind on some noble object; be men. The call is for men; will you not be one of that number who can say, T am a man?"

 Big Ben lay on the hillside, well with in sight of the jail from which he had escaped. But that implied no particu- lar danger to Big Ben, for one could see thirty miles in the clear atmos- phere of the hills. And the penitentiary that lay across forest and mountain.
 Big Ben was lifer. He had killed 8 fellow man, while mad with drink. He had served four years, and had been made a trusty. He had not planned to escape, but the way was open and he walked out.
 That had been eight days before. Big Ben had raided hencoop, seized dozen struggling fowls, tied them into a bundle, and taken them to his retreat. They were busy laying eggs for his breakfast-what were left of them. Big Ben had no appetite. He had also stolen sack of flour and dozen boxes of matches, as we'll as goodly supply of chewing tobacco. Now he was at peace with the world. He meant to stay there another week, till the hue and cry died down, and then to make his way across the hills to the railroad.
 They had been firing guns all the night before, but that could not be on account of his escape. Big Ben won- dered whether another prisoner had es- capped. He felt sorry. for Travis, the warden, who had always treated him so well. Travis would get into trouble about him. If another prisoner had

her face. And all his dreams Of the future faded into blankness.
 Sure I'll take you home, kiddy, ne said, and, picking up the baby In ms arms. he began to carry her through the trees.
 Twelve miles 1t was-and with every step Big Ben's heart became so mueh lead, He strode along, now settlng down the little girl, to let her DICK some flower that had taken her fancy, now carrying her again. Presently, To- ward midday, he saw the little head nod in his arms. Maisie was sleeping, worn out by the walk of the night.
 Big Ben was just reaching the edge of the wood. The trees were becoming sparser. The hills dipped into q level valley. The penitentiary was only hve miles away. And through the trees Big Ben could see the white and dusty highway that wound over field and mead until 1t passed under the grim brick walls, already looming ominously in the distance, the very incarnation of relentless fate.
 Big Ben cursed himself for a fool. He looked down at the little sleeping child and laid her softly upon the grass. He took three steps backward and looked at her again.
 Maisie half opened her eyes and smiled. Big Ben!" she murmured.
 Swallowing curse, Big Ben strode f,, ic ai Tn After that he went doggedly toward the high road.
 Presently he saw horseman riding toward him. Big Ben swallowed hard. He hesitated; then, with firm steps. he walked straight for the beast and It's rider, who, as he approached, re- solved himself into the familiar form of the warden.
 Big Ben was halting now in front of the warden, Travis, who held a pistol in his hand. But he did not point it at Big Ben. He let it fall back into the holster.
 There were tears in Travis eyes as he took the little, sleeping girl out of Big Ben's arms and held her across his saddle. He said not word, but mo- toned to Big Ben to walk in front of his horse.
 Dogged, silent, but strangely happy, Big Ben led the procession back to- ward the walls of the jail. Suddenly he heard an exclamation behind him.
 Big Benl" shouted the warden.
 Rio Ron lnoGod rnpnd Troyts had refined in his horse, and was looking alternately from Big Ben to Maisies face.
 You darned fool P said the warden. Big Ben!"
 "Siri"
 I'm going to ride straight to the You are to follow me. Do you hear, confound you?"
 "Yes, sir" answered Big Ben.
 Travis rode ahead at gallop. Pres ently he refined in and looked round. Big Ben was following him.
 Big Ben, have you gone crazy?" de-. handed Travis.
 Ut looks like 1t, sir," answered Big Ben.

 '"fhe prisons head is coming here next month. He generally asks me If wish to recommend any prisoners for the consideration of the pardons board. I--I guess I may have name or two to put down."
 "Yes, sir" answered Big Ben.
 The penitentiary loomed very near. Presently they were riding under the grim walls. The gate opened before them and closed grimly behind them.
