BABY'S FINQEE3 ON THE PANE.
From tLo music softly steeling
Down the dim arcade of years,
Comes tho mcloJies I treasure,
Hallowed by my joys and tears)
Anil amid lliclr niiiglc numbers,
Reachinj; down a golden chain,
I can hear a baby's nngers
Tapptng nn the window pine
I can hear a baby's fingers
Calling at the window pane.
When my hands with toll were weary,
And tlio twilight shadows fell,
And I wandered slowly homeward
To my ent within tlio dell,
Then my weary slops grew lighter,
As tticrn floated dewn the lane,
Music sweet ol baby's fingers
Tupping on tho wli.dow pane,
' JIus!c sweet of baby's fiugers
'.'Calling at tho window pano.
TVlien Hie winter storms wero beating
On tlio Hilltops, cold anil white,
Or the summer flowers were blooming
Ih my palhwoy warm and bright;
, Still I heard on homo returning
Rapping light as falling rain
Twas the sound of baby's fingers
Tapping on tbe window pane ;
Twasllie sound of baby's fingers
t)i Calling at tho window pane.
.Oft tho world in coldness met mo
And would crush me' in its pride;
Oft misfortunes gathered round Rio
To overthrow me with its tide,
Sick and weary, faint and hungry,
I would wander up the lane
Then how clear was. baby's fingers
Tapplug at the window pane j
JHien how clear tvqs baby's fiugers
Calling at the window pane.
But one eve a darkened shadow
Felt across the cottage floor,
t Andjthe crape upon the morrow
Piiung in loins along tne aonr.
v..,. r ..,in... .nj .nrrnn-
l,t-. i '
jjiil -i,I ''yc; listened all in vain,.
.tor the sound ol uauys lingers
Tapping on tho window pane;
For the sound of baby's fingers
Calling at the window pane.
But metliinks within a cottage
Of the city pure, of goldi
There is waiting for my footsteps
Papa's baby as of old.
And some suminor day in Heaven
Trending up the, pearly.lane,
I shall heor my baby's fingers
Tapping on the window pane ;
I shall h:ar my baby's fingers
Calling at the window pane.
HIS BAOHEJj.
"Gfingawnyl Ah! tUatik'lieaveusigc-
ing 'awny 1"
It was n joyous cry of ineffable glad
ness nud, relief, nnd Clco Lynn, lulklng
mlf to her bounding hfnrl nud half to
the damp paintingj'.befcre her, to which
she had jaat pjven the ', finishing toKcti,
eliuped ht-r tired biownbatids nt 'the
back of her bead, her eyes seeking the
pale, white-flecked strip of sky above
eyru'm'isly with uushediteara.
it was a curious place for n studio
tbo tumble-down, disused barn-loft back
ol Mr. IllackV ugly farm house.snppcs-
ed to be babited'only by mice nnd spid
ers: ,liile, lusleail, the girl spent everv
stolen moment there nt ber easel, revel
ling in ber own creations, so precious
because so dearly won" nnd so eutirely
nor own, st.irtiug'at every sound, com-
m'tuing with her heart anil tho little
mice that came out of their holes to watch
ber cnrioubly.
She dressel badly.PJsbabbily; none
knew itjbettt-r than she, who'hated nud
loathed tbe ragged, untidy calicoes and
coarse shoes but on Ibis particular morn,
iug she laugbcd.nt herself, and her dress
triumpbnntly.iunlil the pretty straggling
curb all about ber wide, white brow.bot.
bed comically.
No more hard drudgery. "No more
lnrs'i words and bitter burliugs of pov
erty nnd dependence ngaiust my teeth,
under which ray'splrit chafes."
"Butler to beg in the streets of the
great city I read uf, than longer endure
this life than eat of the bread so grudg
ingly given. Ooing away I Ob, thank
hojveu, going awayt"
"Cleo, what are you saying?"
The g'.ri sprang to her feet as if to
shield her picture, from unkind curious
giz, standing as n lioness nt bay, her
eyes flashing angrily upon the speaker
through their tears.
Swinging himself up through the
smill opening into the loft, William
Black udvauced toward the girl, a star
tled look on.bis face, that, though clear
cut, even patiiciau lu features under tbe
large, slouch bat, betrayed no emotion
was cold, stern and indifferent usu
ally. lie wasMr8. Black's brother n man
who rmmtd about nlwaya, but was seen
very rarely at his own bouse.
You aie going nwnr,Cleo,little Cleo?"
"Why, I bbnll raiss you when I come
home."
He looked at tbo girl wistfully, lifting
his hat from tho long, thick hair on his
brow, whito aud strangely in contrast
with the hrouzed chocks.
All the pent-up bilterncts of (be mis
erable life passed beneath bis roof broke
forth madly.
"Yo, William Black, goiug away frrin
n life of heartache nud misery. Oil no,
, you uevir thought, yon never cared ell
tb9eYcnrs or tVe child left you by dj.
ing parents. I lmvj been ttiupled to
curse my own dead father for coutdgnirg
mi to your care. Why do they not bang
O'shnnttbeorphans when pnreulsdii.' It
would bo n mercy, Qod in His mercy
grant when I leave you hero tbnt I may
never look on the face of a Black again!"
With one hand on ber heart as il rbe
would still ils mad suffocating throbs,
sbe stood loan attitude of pale scorn aud
defiance.
William Black had recoiled as if shak
en by n mighty wind before this passion,
at anathema, nnd now stood watching
her In "lleut, wonder and pained amaz
I
UiCUb,
Si. 00
If
"Why, Cleo.llttlo Clco.I never thought
but you were happy. I-"
"Stop! Mako mo no excuses; yon
come with them too late. Allleskof
you is to leave me to keep out of my
Fight, to which n Black isbntelul. I hear
your sister calling me to carry tbo farm
hands' dinner for tbo last time, thank
heaven! To-morrow I go foreverl"
"Stop!"
Stepping hastily forward to bar her
ejrcFs, William Black laid his band
heavily on her Rhouldcrs.nml tho passion
that lrnpt up into the chill face startled
tho girl into obedience.'
Yon shall not go, for Cleo, little one,
I love you belter than my hope of heav
en! I did not aream of il until now un
til I was about to lose yon. Walt; I nm
not poor, and 1 will tako yon away, now,
to tho great cities yon loug for Forgivo
my neglect all these years be merciful,
little Cleo.-
He hod thrown hii arm around 1 er
and drawn her closa to his side, looking
down with hungry eyes into the pnlu face,
but wrenching herself free, Cleo replied
mockingly:
"Whatl marry you. Will Black? Iam
not the dog to lick the band tbnt 1 as
struck me. Marryjyou, and continue to
be a slave a pensioner to your bouulj?
Neverl"
Defiance rang through the girlish voice
and without a word or sign William
Black, pale as death, turned away and
descended to tbe stables, and, in a few
minutes, the roclty road nriund the cliff
resounded with tho pounding of his
horse's hoof beats.
Cleo Lynn knelt before ber picture of
fering up a fervent prayer to heaven to
sanctify it, then stood a minute bidding
the dear old loft, where she had spent
the few happy moments of ber life good
bye, and ran acroES the back garden bare
beaded, an unwontei brilliancy in ber
eyes, a flush on her piquant elfish face,
into tho great, clear, odorous kitchen,
where Mrs, Black awaited her angrily,
impatiently.
"Take lhee pails and bs off with you,
you lazy, careless "
"Madaml"
It was not tbo tone nor the word that
made Mre. Blank jumpnp with allght
shriek, but the flah in tbe eyes that was
almost murderous, and so out through
the glaring scorching noon snnshino Cleo
Lynn .went for the last time.
"I am so' tired of this straggle for fame
and n crust of bread."
''I thought long ere this to wear a crown
bf laurel, bnt,instead, it is one of thorns
aud cypress."
It was a poor room.
Every one has seen such rooms in
squalid bouses, without warmth, cheer,
comfort, though it was bltter.cold.
A womau's form with arms oulflunp,
ths gesture of despair, the same figure
la -,t seen flitting across tbe hot dry fields
b ick of Mrs. Black's farm bcuhe, tl o igh
thinner, more poorly clad.
Lifting her l'aoe at length against the
greyalreuk of twilight nt ht-r one window
the once round checks weru thin, the
hair dishevelled, aud tho cyta Mruined
aud unnatural in expression.
"Destitute, friendless, and almost
blind."
Slipping her h'aud'into her dress she
drew out a vial of darkish fluid, holding
it up between tbe light and dim, dim
vision.
There came a sound of steps up the
rickety stairs, then a rap, firm, quick, nt
ber door.
"Come in!"
Tbe door swung open, and a man, tall,
muffled in a great'eoat, entered, and bait
crobsed the bare floor.
Ilibiug, the girl leaned ther clasped
bands on ber chair waiting.
"Miss Lynn?"
She bowed her heud, the white hands
suddenly clutching tbo chair back, icy
cold.
"I saw one of your paintings at the
Academy, and wish to purchase it tbo
one called 'The Cow Boy,' "
"What ore your teruib?" -
The girts, voice as sbe mado answer,
was so boarse.,and unnatural that she
scarcely knew it horself.
"What are you willing to givt?" lean
ing forward a little in the dim light, with
numb, chill Huge interlaced, while the
tall haughty figure seemed daucing wild
ly, undiguifiedly.
"Three hundred dollars for 'The Cow
Boy,' or, fay, six'hnndred dollars for the
two 'My Studio,' as a surprise for my
wife."
The room, the hed,'tbe chair, every
thing swam wildly before her eyes.
"Sir.yoa ato liberal," was all sbe could
murmur.
Counting out tbe roll of notes the man
handed them to her.
Then bowing nnd saying, nt be gave
ber a street number
"Order tbrm to bo sent around to my
houie," he withdrew, and, as the door
close behind him, Cleo Lynu fell forward
prono ou the floor with tbe bank notes
clutched desperattly in one hand aud a
shattered vial of dnk fluid in tbe other
"Oh, Will, Will, and I loved ynu so,
yet was too proud, too hateful to confer
it eveu to myself.
"Oh, what madness lias goaded me on
to tny'vell earned misery?"
It was n tastily-dressed figure in n grey
clouk nnd hat that stepped ont of the
rambling old stage in the village of Gray
(.on, passing swiftly toward the dark ugly
Black farm house. -
The hall door was open that led into
tbo cool tidy parlor so well rrmrmbtrd,
and cntering.tbe stranger beheld a mau's
figure bowed before a table, bis bead in
his folded arms.wbile directly above bim
bung a pretty rnstia painting, ber work,
under which stood a glass of fresh cot
flowers.

"Will!"
Tbe bowed head was lifted eagerly.lhe
blank clectrio eyes soemlng to lighten as
they rested on tbo fair face before him.
"Little Cleol"
"Yon back here again?" and ho treir
bled as he spoko,
"I have comeback to the old homo to
seo yon all onco more."
"I have won fame, and shall win
wealth, for tho money yon gave me, in
the hour of my deepest despair, lifted
me into prosperity."
"I owe it all to you."
"I do not understand," ho replied
dreamily.
"I only know ym are back again
when I never expected to see you here
more,"
Cleo looked wistfully "around ns If to
see cxpcctnnt faces, ns she asked
"And your BiHter?"
"She is dead, and I nm all ulone,
Cleo."
'Sjvou years, Clea and and Rachel
has cnm."
"Where 13 your your wife. Will?''
He started at her eveu more wonder
ingly. "My wife?"
"Have you foigotten forgiven the
past, Cleo, and do you coma back to
stay?"
Without herding tha pleading hand
some face, tho outstretched nrmi, Cleo
Lynn pointed towards Iho painting.
"Yju you bought that from a poor
artist-"
Ho interrupted her, wondenngly,
"My brother, wbuni yon never knew
an older brother bought it whilo on
a visit to London, nud, because it re
minded me of you, I begged hitn to give
it to me."
Throwing back, with a quick passion
ate movemeut, tbe gray travelling cloak
Cleo Lynn dropped on her knees at Wil
liam Black's feet.
' 'I am unworthy."
"It was a bitter, bitter lesson that
learned ma the vulue of a lovo that would
have shielded me all these years."
"If you con forgive, if I mar come
back to the old homo nest, will you take
your Rachel, for whom you have served
seven years?"
That was tho way Cleo Lynn went
back to the home nest and sheltering
euro of the man she had cursed seven
years before, and learned in the restful
home life of the years as they sped, how
infinitely above all fame, all wealth, was
the consciousness of satsfied lovo.
B0TTS' TELEGRAPH.
'No, sir," indigunntly replied old
Judge Botts to tbo District Telegraph
Company's agent; "we don't want any
thing of the kind in this house. Had a
District Telegraph box here once, and it
nearly ruined me."
"Ruined you, eh?'' replied the agent,
calmly beginning to bore boles iu the
wall for the screws.
"Yes, sir. It was a perfect nnisnace.
It took about two days to get unythitig
you rang tor in the first place, and then,
nine times out of ten, they sent me the
wrong article."
"Well, you seo, tbo great pressure of
bus" began tbo agent, fumbling in bis
bag for a screw-driver.
"Yes I know ail about that," snapped
the Judge. "I've board that before, but
a machine that can't hit it right more
than once out of a possible hundred is no
good to me.'
"Great protection in caso "
In case I'm absent, eh? Yes, I know
nil about that. I'll tell von how that
works. Last summer I was up in Bodle
for n week, nnd I told Mrs. Botts in rase
of thieves to ran to tbe indicator aud turn
on a call for a policeman. One night she
beard a burglar packing awny the silver
ware down iu the dining-room,
Sbe
rushed to thebox nnd did ns I directed."
"Did the police comer
"Of course not! If she had rung for a
doctor or rt ton of coal sho might have
got an officer. As it was they sent up a
h ick. It arrived in about three hours.
Meanwhile Mrs. Botts lay in fear of her
lifo and having hysterics nnder the bed
clothes." "Didn't tho robber go away then?"
casually asked the ngent, who had at
tached the box and was uncoiling the
wire.
"Go away! of course bo did; thit'xjust
tbe cream of the thing. By tbe time the
coupe arrived be had made his selections,
so he jnst jumped into tbe enrriage, bid
the man drive bim down town with bis
plunder, and then told Lira to charge tbo
faro to me," S.in Francisco Post.
