Oh I I am sighing for spring to come again'
7,'m tired of wintry weather.
The leaden skies and frosty days
Seem going to last forevor.
The gaunt old trees like spectres stand,
Their leaQes branches waving,
Whllo the whistling wind, with mournful
In angry tones Is raving. sighs,
Around, as far at tho eye can reach,
Is a desert wasto of snow,
And the waters, fast In chains of Ice,
Are longing again to Mow.
Tho birds have flown to other climes
To sing their happy lays,
And ne'er again will wo hear their voice
Till the coming of spring time days.
Oh 1 1 sigh for the warm and perfumed breath
Ol beautiful, emlllng spring,
With the vernal robes, and crown of bloom,
And birds beginning to sing.
I long to roam the meadows and hills
All dotted o'er with flowers
I long to bear the patter soft
Ol April's sunny showers I
But now, all day, the cold winds blow,
And tho snow or the rain comes down,
Filling the air with their chilling breath,
As they fall on the hardened ground.
Oh 1 I'm longing to smell tho flowers again,
And the birds' sweet song to bear
On I haste, sweet spring, and come again,
And end this winter drear.
NOT STOLEN.
'I liavo got a somewhat unusual case for
you, Mr. Detective," eald a tall, gentlemanly-looking
man, as lie entered my room one
August evening some fifteen years ago.
"You know me, I daresay, I am Mr. Med
win, tho picture-dealer."
"What Is your case, sir?" I replied, giv
ing my new patron a chair.
'Tho fact Is I liavo lost a very valuable
painting."
"I have heard of that tha whole town Is
talking about it. The night you bought it
somo one entered the gallery and cut it
from the frame."
"Yes, and although I have offered n
largo reward, no trace of my painting lias
been found. Lord Bcrksbiru advised me to
try you."
"I am much obliged to his lordship.
Have you any suspicions?"
"No, it Is puzzling in tho extreme. A
picture of that immense value is not so eas
ily salable as a sWen Bank of England
noto. I don't know who would dare lo buy
it. The painting is known throughout tbo
whole world."
"It Is a llllle perplexing I must own, but
something may occur to mo. Leavo tho
mailer in my hands for a duy or two."
"Yuu know tho reward, two thousand
munds, and I will, of course, pay all your
expenses."
"Havo tbe police discovered nothing?" I
asked.
"Nothing whatever; see what you can
do."
Hereditary faniil'cs, likp nations, have
their riso nnd fall, their period of prosperi
ty, ami their time of poverty.
Sometimes this decadence is the evil work
of a scries of members of the family, and at
others chains nf unforinnrito circumstances
have brought about the downfall. It Is a
world of continual movement, there it no
remaining stationary.
A yolumoas interesting as any romance
could be writlcn about the vicissitudes of
the Burko family. The present lord 1ms n
groat name lo keep up, but no money, ex
cept works In art, his private collection of
which is, or rather was, unsurpassed, lie
is poorer thou some of his own tenants,
Thry all lisd one peculiar trait in llicir
character. They devoted much time, when
iiinuey was plentiful, to the gathering to-
gether, In the ancestral mansion, rare works
of art. They were all born with the aitis-
lie eye. Their gallery became oneol the
most renowned in Europe, and until the ac
cession of the present peer they never
thought of seeing what tho works would
felcli in an auction-room.
Scandal had ollen whispered that some
scarce specimens of the foreign schools
which adorn Hie gallery came to the Inml
ly by (he right of might, when a certain
Gen. Burke was lendins (lie armies of his
country in Dutcli ami Belgian provinces.
The present peer Is as devoted to art as
his predecessors, but lie has less money than
anyoflliem. IlisTather ruined himself.
It was the family lawyer who suggested
the disposal nf a portion of the pictures, and
he almost gut kicked out fur ventilating tbe
Idea.
But afterwards, when his lordship recon
sidered tbo matter, and thought or his des
perate financial position, he entertained the
progiosal, but with great reluctance. In his
eyes, what he was doing i mounted to sac.
rilege.
Tho rale attracted lo the well-known
rooms all tho fine-art buyers in tbe world,
ami lasted for several days.
Many of the works fetched sensational
prices, but one picture in particular dls
Lanced dl the others.
The Times and lesser lights bad leaders
on the subject.
The painting was the mnsterplece of a
master. I his was tbe picture about which
Mr. Medwln camo ts eco me. On Hie night
it was sola it was carefully cut from the
frame, and nothing had since been heard of
it.
It was difScult to say where this Inquiry
should begin. Alter much hesitation, I de
cided lo go to the gallery where the plcturo
had bung. The auctioneers knew me, and
placed all the, information they could before
me. I saw tho empty frame, but nothing
was to be gleaned from that. A sharp
kulfe had done its work well.
Who had aeceas lo the gallery at night?
Itoone) the keys were deposited in a safe,
I asked who bed been lstt in tbe gallery
and after some trouble, I ascertained with
out a dotibt that the last persons in the gel
lery were Lord Burke and Ibe custodian of
the room, whoee duty It was to see that
everything was secure, and hand over the
keys to be placed In the safe.
I saw the custodian and questioned hits,
lie teemed an honest man, and had but lit'
tie to tell.
Lord Burke bad asked to pay a last visit
to nil favorites before they were ditperted
to the four quarters of tbe world, and tha
custodian had accompanied him. The visit
did not occupy more than ten minutes al
together. He had not the slightest Idea
wbst bad become of tbe work. The thltf
had not Uft any trace whatever behind.
At a rule tbe fevered rsee, the Jews, jo,
not affect hard work they detest manual
labor, and prefer making money through
their brains. I had some knowledge of a
man of this race who earned an excellent
living tis an expert in the value of pictures,
I looked blm op to see whether he could
throw out a bint to guide me. finding him
at homo, I opened the conversation by say
Ing
"Where can the picture havo got lo?"
"Perhaps It is nearer tban you Imagine,"
was the answer.
"What do yon mean?" I said looking
round, expecting to teo it In tome corner of
his room,
"Not here," he replied, laughing, "but In
London."
"In tbe possession of whom the thief?"
"Ob, no I In tbe custody of its natural
guardian tho purchaser."
'I do not understand vou. If Mr. Med
wln has the picture, why all this bother?"
"Mr. Medwln knows what pays, nnd
wants a big advertisement. Some day tho
picture will turn up found In America, lor
Instance and it will sell at a greatly en
hanced value. And look at tho Immenso
number of engravings of tho work Mr Med
wln is disposing of weekly all through this
notoriety. Ho has not much to learn, has
Mr. Medwln."
"I must differ from yon. In my opinion.
Mr. Medwln is quite in the daik, and that
tho plcturo was really stolen."
"We shall see. Keep in mind my words.
What chance would a thief havo of selling
such a well-known work ?"
Next morning I went to reside close lo the
country scat of tho Burkes.
The house was a show place, and ndmis
ion could tbcrcforo bo easily procured. I
avnlled myself of this permission, and pass
ed myself off as an amateur paiuler,deslrous
of studying certain landscapes in the gal
lery.
"Therofcero some cabinots containing
rare engravings in the library, I should like
to have seen," I said to tho librarian.
'But tho old man shoot his head, and
said
"Ills loidship always carried the keys
with him, aid never showed tho contents to
anyono."
"Does bo not even Intrust you with the
keys?" I nsked.
"Ho used to do eo, but not of late."
"The collection ofltembranl's is very com
plete, I believe?"
This I learned from tho local guide book.
"The best In England."
"Well, look hero, there would be no barm
in my having a peep, and if you can man-
ago it I will richly compensate you for the
trouble."
'I am afraid it cannot bo done. How
long nro you going to remain Jn the neigh
borhood ?"
"A day or two it don't matter,"
"Well," said the avaricious old humbug,
I will see what caii be done, but you must
bo' prepared to come up licrnnt a moment's
notice Give me your address, and I will
wrile when a chance occurs."
So far well and good. I hoped soon to
prove whether my theory was correct, that
Lord Burke, not being able to part with
this particular work, hod surreptitiously
taken it. It was a strange thing for a man
to do.
On my second visit to tbo London gallery
Ihe man in charge was more communica
tive, and I learned Ihnt his lorshlp hod
been alone with the pictures for about Ovo
iniuutcs. Theto was plenty of timo to do
the deed; nnd nothing so easy as to place
the canvas (lot on your person, aud button
your lop-coat over it.
The librarian did not keep me waiting
long. On receipt of his note I did not lose
any time In joining lilni in the library. He
produced tho keys. How ho got them I
don't know; and his lordship had gone to
the quarter sessions.
There were three cabinets allogelher, and
two of them wero drawn blank. The en
gravings I appeared lo admire greatly, but
was anxious to see the contents of the last
cabinet.
On unlocking number three, the librarian
looked as if he had just seen a ghost. In a
drawer all to Itself, carefully arranged, was
the well-known picture about which the
world had beeu so recently talking. The
old man was terrified, and locked the cabi
net hastily, saying it contained private pa
pers which could not be shown to any one.
I did not pretend to havo noticed the pic
ture, and bavinggiven theold man a hand
some gratuity, I returned to London.
Mr. Medwin was astonished at what I
told him. A man does not usually run
away with his own property.
"It was n very delicate matter," he said,
and required great consideration."
Mr. Medwin had not parted with any
money for the work, which made it all the
more difficult to take any steps.
A few days afterwards Mr. Medwln tent
for me.
"I want to settle with you. Everything
is arranged."
"Then you have got back the picture," I
said.
"No; but it Is all right. His lordship
and I understand each other, ne cannot
Imagine how I discovered the secret."
"It Is the real picture?"
"Yet, decidedly. His lordship told me
but it must be kept in the greatest secreey
that he found it impossible to separate from
that picture, that he cut it out himself and
that I am to have it at his death for tbe
price) I ofl'cred at the sale, less the two thou,
sand pounds I havo to pay you,"

"Look here, my dear," said Mr. Spoopen
dyke, tossing over tbe laces and ribbons In
his wife's bureau drawer, "what's become of
the ran opener? I don't see it anywhere."
"What do you want of It?" asked Mrs.
Spoopcndyke, fluttering up to protect her
trinkets, and trying to gain a littlo time.
"I want to open somo sardines with it,"
returned Mr. Spoopcndyke, abandoning the
drawer and hunting through tho work-basket.
"Think I want to comb my hair with
it? Imagine I wanted to write a letter with
it? Well, I don't. I want somo sardines.
What havo you done with it?"
"You might toko your big knife," recom
mended Mis. Spoopendyko. "The largo
blado is Just the thing for that."
Mr. Spoopendyke seized tho knife and
bored away at one corner of the box, while
his wife looked on with considerable dis
tress. "Hadn't you belter put a paper under tho
box? You'll get tho oil all over the table

"No, I won't cither," said Mr. Spoopcn
dyke, as the knifo plunged through and the
oil spattered, "3ervo you right If I did,"
he continued, plowing away at the tin,
while the grease flew In all direction, " It
would leach you lo put tho can-opener
whero you could find It. What kind or
housekeeping do you call lhie,anyhow?" ho
yelled, as the blade slipped out and closed
up on his fingers.
"Did you hurt yourself, dear?" asked
Mrs. Spoopendyko anxiously.
"No, I didn't hurt myself," grinned Mr.
Spoopendyke. "Tho knife struck the bono,
or I would have been dead with agony an

and Mr. Spoopendyko prnnccd around the

box again, and ripped away as though he
was run by steam.
"No use to hide away from me I" ho yell
ed, hacking away at tho box with all his
might, "I know you're In there, and thoro

slapped them down on a plate.
"Wnu't you spoil 'cm, dear?" nsked Mrs.
Spoopendyke, dodging the flying beads and
tails. "They won't be very good if you

"Oh, won't they 7" howled Mr. Spoopen

he oyed tho repast with anything but con

"Upon my word, my dear, I don't believe

Mrs. Spoopcndyke; "I had one."
"Oh, you had one I" proclaimed Mr,
Spoopendyke, "only you'ro just out. If

Mr. Spoopendyke flopped Into hit easy chair
and picked up the paper.
"Don't you wont some ol the fish?" asked
Mrs. Spoopendyke, after a long pause.
"No I don't," growled Mr. Spoopcndyke.
"But this is a fresh box," said Mrs. Spoo

"How'd you get it open ?" demanded
Mr. Spoopendyke.

WHAT A OtJORCItA HAH WOH :N A LOTTMtY
The originators of the Texas land swindle!
were enterprising men who wished to de
velop tho resources of the stale, but, unfor
tunately for them, tho people of Texas did
not view the matter In tho samo light, con
sequently the msjority of the parties en
gaged In tho scheme nro now gazing at tF,s
beauties nf naturo through prison bare.
Some years ago the Texas land lottery was
organized by a similar band ol Individuals,
whoso solo desire was to lnok after tho earth
ly welfare of the adventurous immigrant.
The country was flooded with pamphlets
containing tho interesting story of a poer
young man who came from one of the states
with nothing but a good reputation and an
old valise, and how he took a chance in tho
land lottery and won a beautiful larm. Tho
pamphlet had the desired eflcct, and tickets
were sold llko hot cakes; but.strange to eay,
the farms seemed rather scarce. They per
haps bad pulled up stakes and gone tt
Lcadville, or Bomo other place; nnd the per
sons who had invested In the lottery begm
to realize tbat they had been sold, and not
a few or them felt as if they would like to
hit somebody with a persimmon club. Tho
milk had been spilled, however, and In
most cases they bore their lossos without a
murmur; but thero was one msn from
Georgia who did not bear his disappoint
ment so heroically. He had Invested fifty
dollars in the lottery, and when tbo grand
drawing took placo he was Informed, much
to bis delight, that ho had won a fine tract
nf land in a western county. A map was
given him, alto the necessary deeds, and he
started In company with a surveyor tn locate
his land. By night ho dreamed of his bo
nanza and tbe fortune it would bring him.
and he was a happy man. Ho went about
trying to lend people money, and saying
tbat a man was not fit to live in this world
if he let a little good fortune make a fool of
him. After a week journey beundlb-"iur-veyor
reached a point in a vail ''rie fifty
miles Irom a drop of wa'jr or a stick of
timber.
"Your land is somewhere about here,"
said tho surveyor, at ba got out oi tbe am
bulancoand planted his instrument.
"You must be mistaken," replied the
Georgian nervously, as ho glanced over tha
broad sea of shriveled sage bushes and
mcsquile.
The surveyor paid little attention to his
remark, but merely sighted with bis Instru
ment and began to figure, then he moved
ahead a hundred yards and repeated the
.erformancc, after which he pointed with
bit finger and said :
"Do you see that dry-looking mound
over there? Thai's the centre of your
tract."
"What," moaned the Georgian, "It that
bald-looking spot my land?"
"It Is."
"But Where's the timbered hill and tie)
spring-gushing from the mammoth rock t"
"Duped mortal; unsuspecting stranger,"
said the surveyor kindly, "nothing can
gush on that land, not even a boarding
school girl."
"Perbsps I can raise onions on It," said
lbs Georgian hoarsely i "they say that kind
of land Is good for onions."
"Thero you are wrong again, stranger. It
would take a whole barrel of the meanest
whiskey In Texas to raits a row on it. The
land is poor."
"Do yeu tbluk I could tell it?" inquired
the Georgian, in a voice choked wilh emo
tion. "I don't think you could," replied tim
honest surveyor. "I don't belieye you could
give it to an orphan asylum." These words
were tbe knell of all hit hopes, and there,
far out on the bosom of tho great prairie,
the victimized Georgian fell on the survey
or's neck and wept. A'cie Orleant Timei.
