TOGETHER STILL, The day declines, and fades the light, And quiet lies at eve the sea; e first pale star peeps forth at night, As here l walk and think of thee; Where art thou now, dear love? I ponder, As beat the waves the beach above; My heart to thee turns as I wander Along the dark plains—oh, my love! Together still, together still Though parted, we're together still! » Sweetheart, sweetheart, it may be thou, Where'er thou art, dost think of me; As 1 of thee am thinking now, At twilight here, beside the sea. Ab, 'tis my life's true crowning glory, To know that I have thy true heart; One chapter more will eml the story, And we shall meet no more to part, Together still, together still— For life shall be together still! The red clouds mark the dying day, As low behind them falls the sun; I think of thee thougi far away, 1 know that our two souls are one, Though distance may a while divide us, Qur star is gleaming o'er the sea; A beacon light it is to guide us To that blest time which soon shall be, Together still, together still— When we shall be together still! A THIEF CHASE. I once told an expectant public how I tell among thieves in London. 1 now propose to relate an meident of similar nature in which I took a somewhat ac- | tive part. The occurrence, although it | happened near Detroit, has never before | been reported for a Detroit paper. I was living at that time in Walker- | ville. There is no accounting for the | freais of a person who will live in Wa kerville, so one Sunday might | went to church. Why I did so 1 have never been able to satisfactorily explain to royself, but anyhow the result taught me « lesson that I have never ceaséd to Pi tit hy. W hen I got back to my room I found everything in confusion. My trunk had bern broken open, things **of no value | except to the owner” were scattered around on the floor, and articles that | were valuable to both owner and thief were taken. Unfortunately I boarded with a Christian family who were all | addicted to church-going, and so the | thief had ample opportunity to select such belongings of mine as suited his fastidious fancy without interruption. While we had been laying up moth- proof and thief-proof treasures he had been accumulating the wealth that per- isheth. In the first few moments that I looked at my scattered goods and chattels I backslid more than ! have ever been able to make up since. One unpleasant phase of the thing was that I had carelessly left a roll of ills to the amount of $300 done up in paper in a corner of the trunk, and this annoyed me more than the fact that I would probably have to wear my Sun- day suit on week days for a while. 1 sought my friend and neighbor, who had a horse and buggy, and we started off in search of the thieves, It wasa clear, moonlight night, with snow on the ground, but not enough for sleig- ing. f the Nobody had seen anything of thieves, and we were at a loss what to . While crossing the railroad track wticed a newspaper Inttering in the »oze, and on going to it found it part # Free Press that had been in my It was the weekly and had my yatue on the corner printed on a bit of yellow paper, This was our first clue. was evident that the partly of the her part bad gone east on the Great Westorn track, “the road foltowed the railrofid track for miles and we whipped along ata lively rate. It was nearly midnight when we reached Belle river and an inquiry at all the hotels gave us no information. On the way back we called in at the hotel kept by a consta- bie whose name I can’t spell, but it was | pronounced Gokey, and such I will call hiv. As Mr, Gokey took a professional ride in this sort of thing he offered to take up the search, so he hitched up his cutter, as the sleighing seemed to get better as we went bast, and we started off. laquiry from people at the section | house on the railroad gave us the mfor- mation that four men had asked the way to the Southern railroad and had left the Western and started towanls Essex Center on the other line “How about the four men, Gokey,” I said, **Would you tackle them?” **1'1i tackle any number under seven,’’ | replied the constable. *‘I’'ve a seven- | shooter with me,” It 4s rather curious that the pans these criminals took to avoid recogni. tion were the means that kept uson their track, without having to ask any | questions. When they approached any | corner village of even three or four | houses they would take to the fields to avoid being seen, apparently, and their | tracks in the snow, four together, show- | ed the direction they were taking. As we neared Essex Center the four tracks struck across the fields, and our friends | had no doubt reached the railway with- | out going through the village, When | we came to the long, straight railroad | track we could see, a mile or two away, four figures standing in dim relief agninst the gray eastern sky. The con- stable put a fresh horse between the shafts, and we were soon on the road that runs parallel with the railroad and only a few rods south of it. We were anxious to overtake them before it got dark, The road ied into a dense forest that for miles borders the Canada South- ern (rack, and it was a lonesome place | for two men on a salary to attack four | men desperate and fighting for their | hberty. I forgot to say that one of the articles taken had been a seven-shooter that [ at that time sported. I never had succeed in shooting anything with it, but there was no knowing what it | might do in the hands of a rcecitless | robber. 1 mentioned this to the consta- | ble. “Are the tracks getting too fresh?” said Gokey. “No, but it 18 well to beon ous guard.” At every crossroad Gokey stopped his horse under cover of the woods and 1 sneaked to the track to see what ogress our four were making. Af Br we gor shen’ of them. hen I Juarad ou from behind a tree I saw coming along only a few rods away. Ihastened back to the constable, who tied his horse out ot sight and we both crawled up the track and conceal ed ourselves the fence where we iP | $ 'v could seo the men ing. They were evidently about done up. is se ps A tall, strong fellow marched ahead, Two followed arm in arm, and the fourth limped along soniewhat in the Tear, “That first fellow has your revolver,’ said the constable in a whisper. “He's the leader.” “He's got my overcoat on, too-—yes, by jingo and a pair of my trousers, as well. They're all decked out in my raiment.” “They found them easier to carry in that way than bundles, Now I'll take the big fellow in front, you seize the man behind—trip him up. If neither has the revolver te man who does have it will dive in his pocket for it. Then I'll attend to him, and if we surprise | them I'll get in the first shot.”’ ‘Don’t shoot around reckless, Gokey, Remember your partner,” By this time the thieves were abreast | of us, They traveled in a tired, listess, silent manner as if utterly disgusted | with the way of the transgressor. All| fear of pursuit had evidently left them. | Our plans for the attack were changed, for when the foremost man came to the culvert he sat down and let his legs dangle into the excavation. Taking off his cap—or mine rather—he drew his sleeve wearily across his brow and cursed his juck. As the other two came | up they also sat down on the edge of the culvert, and the fourth limped along and also took his place beside them, Their backs were toward us as we war- | ily and noiselessly climbed the fence I felt as a raw recruit must feel on the eve of battle, but Gokey was as cool as an old campaigner. The thieves know- ing nothing of their danger lounged on | the culvert’s edge. The tall man rested on his etbow, The last man a tually lay on his back gazing up to the zenith, yet did not see us approach. “Pounce on him,” whispered the con- stable, The next Instant we were on them. I pinned my man where he lay Gokey put the muzzle of his seven- shooter to the tall man’s ear and quick- ly thrust his other hand into the over- coat pocket and pulled out my revolver, My man made no struggle, but it seem- | ed to me gave a sigh of relief, None | of the rest moved. There was no re- sistance, Gokey with the two revolvers, stood the master of the situation. Fi- nally seeing the ludicrousness of firmly holding down a man who evidegtly had not the slightest intention of rising I got up and stood opposite them with the constable. They all preserved the same attitude of absolute indifference. “Which of you has my $3007" I cried. An instant change came over them. They sprang up and cried: “What!'" as simultaneously as if they had rehearsed i. “There was Where is it?” A wall of absolute, spair went up from the th tall man said: “Don’t! $300 in that trunk. heartrending de- eves, The - = a worse 11 us there was $500 this is thaa being “Didn’t you get it? “Get it?

So Gokey left for the sleigh and I sat down on the opposite side of the cul- vert. The early winter sun was setiing red The long parallel steel lines seemed to converge on its big ruddy disk. It look- ed like a line that went very far west indead, The place was utterly lone- The silence was intense. The winter had frozen all the customary woodland sounds and the stillness was emphasized rather than broken by a sharp crack from a tree now and thep caused by the increasing coldness, When the sun disappeared all color faded gut and left the grey winter evening, and | then I began to realize, now that the excitement was passed, that It was not a pleasant thing to sit alone opposite four criminals who knew I was the only barrier between them and liberty. In a few minutes it would be dark and the | moon would net rise for an hour, “Gentlemen,’ 1 said, “you appreciate my position here. If there is any hos- tile demonstration it will be my painful duty to kill at least two of you. Itis only fair to say that the first man I shall | kill will’be you.” This to the tall fel- low, “Well,” he replied, with thoughtful | nonchalance, ‘‘1 think you would be | doing about the best thing for yourself | in that move, but I would like to ask a | favor.” “All right.” “Don't shoot me with that revolver of yours,” “Why? “*Well, because the cartridges are all | empty, that's one reason.” i The rest laughed, a little at this and | the lame man said: “Say boss, got achaw o’ tobacco?’ No," I answered shortly, for I saw | that what the tall man said of my revol- ver was true, “Now, look here,” I said, “I have only seven shots instead of fourteen, as I thought, 1 want you to sit on that | side of the track and you on the other, | You two handcuffers, remain between | the rails where you are. If any one makes a movement I'll shrot him dead.” “Say, boss,” said the tall man, *‘if » train comes along we two are going to take the risk of your shooting and move, e insurance policy will pe. od them, and kept them covered with the revolver muzzle. It was soon so dark that I could hardly distinguish my prisoners, who remained as mute as statues. Once or twice the tall man startingly broke the silence by shouting: “There's a train, boss; but there was no train and the rest were too des- pondent to laugh. “You might have got up a fight last night,” he said. “but to-night we wouldn’t fight a mouse, We've had nothing to eat since we stole your things.” Then he told me of their tramp with a good deal of pathos and [ began to feel sorry for the fellows and a little ashamed of guarding them so rigidly at the pis- I promised them a good Then came the welcome jingle of the “All right?’ shouted Gorkey, “All right?’ 1 answered, “Lord, boss,” “it’s a good thing you came, gray watching us.” The supper they enjoyed hugely. put spirit in them.
