Maurice Terraiue’s Interview With Wash. ington-—*Let Us Ble Merry, For This My Son Was Dead and Is Alive Again; He Was Lost and Is Found,” In 8t. Nicholas Sara King Wiley has a romance of the American Revolution entitled ‘‘Maurice and His Father." A brave little English lad is separated from his father and falls into the hands of the Americans. His father afterward embraces the patriot cause, and his son is restored to him through the medium of Washington, as shown in the follow- ing extract: Maurice was informed that General Washington was there showing the works to General Lafayette, and his heart began to flutter and thump within him. Barney was sitting beside him, look- ing at his master with bright and loving eyes, his little black nose quivering. ‘‘Barney,’’ said the boy, “we're afraid, but we're not going to stop if we are,”’ And, picking up the dog, he took his way through the rustling leaves that lay like heaps of gold toward the house which one of the soldiers, from whom Maurice ventured to ask for directions, had pointed out to him. “Yes, General Washington is there and alone,'’ he was told. Could he see him? “Sure, no, ye little bye,’ Irish sentry. ‘‘It's wore out gintleman is, already, and wouldn't bother with all thim jabber- ing Frinchmen!"” Maurice was desperate, *“Oh, please!"’ you beg too.’ The little dog drooping paws. ‘Sure, me own name's Barney. is your dog's name O'Reilly, the sentry. “Oh, if he is your namesake,’ « claimed Maurice, a let him Oh, see, you © an wld him while I Maurice thought no one ald an offer "" said the within, and, eaid the the peor he anid, ‘“Beg, Barney; sat up at once, with And too? must such soldier, and he returning, said, Maurice stepped into paused just was trembling. nee your errand?"’ rather severe, Mau the fireplace stood the To the ] said, even, grave Just at comm ice raised his eves before gre boy's excit even larger than behi bent a ur errand, my | a note of command hands were y head ‘hat is y+ SOT he aguin, the tone, “*Oh, with father said him so v my my father!" he lost from ‘1 have been long!"

He crossed the ro m in quick strides, and, la 1 his hi on the bx v's shoulder, kindly **My poor child This was too much. Maurice had borne bravely the long strain of wait- ing, the repeated disappointments, but the unexpected sympathy broke down is self possession. He put his head in the crook of his arm and sobs came fast —g0bs that shook him from head to foot, The general drew him aside, in an armchair, and, taking the little hanging head in both his own, said, “There, there, stop crying and tell me all about it!" Maurice choked down his sobs and told his story. At his father's name the general rose quickly “Colonel Terraine's so your father was hers He may be ap stairs now!

He was lost and is~found Colonel Terraine stood an instant, with wide, questioning eyes. Then he alive rushed through the doorway and down the stairs. The general followed him quickly. There was a loud cry as the colonel entered the room, and Maurice sprang into his father's arms. General Washington closed the door and stood guard over it himself. Barney, having escaped from the soldier, tore in, and the general stooped from his great height to pat the little dog. If Barney had been a man, he wonld have seen that there wero tears in the bright blue eyes. Heat and Silver. To read the inscription on a silver eoin which by munch wear has become wholly obliterated put a poker in the fire. When redhot, place the coin upon it, and the inscription will plainly ap. pear of a greenish hue, but will disap. pear as the coin cools, This method was formerly practiced at the mint to discover the genuine coin when silver was called in. » it's mesilf | | the man fell over in a | by the : ing, her sympathetic heart touched to { its depths by the sight of her husband's | suffer | blood. | tears rolled slowly pat down | | busy wren building “I have | | clerk.’ | was furious and us bo | which the paper i peopl tear Crirls A WOMAN'S LOVE. Bbe Bared Her Amn to the Surgeon's Knife For Her Husband's Benefit, The keen stroke of the surgeon's blade along the slender nerves, shooting cur- rents of agony to every fiber and tortur- ing every wuscle, causes the physically bravest of us to quail, even when it is vitally necessary to undergo the pain, and something like Spartan courage is needed when one voluntarily goes through with the experience solely for another's sake, Dr. Jarnigan tells a story, and it is out of his own professional experience, that has for its heroine a woman who did this bravely unselfish thing. Her husband's arm had been crushed in the machinery. The hard folds of muscle had been flattened, and the bone had been crushed. The arm, bruised and discolored, was bad enough to look upon, but it gave no indication of the excru- ciating torture of pain the man had to undergo. It was thought at first by the doctors that his arm would have to come off—the good right arm that supported the brave wife who stood by his side and the serious, anxious faced children who stood looking on. He begged them to save his arm, and his wife begged them, and fortunately the condition of the case permitted them to, But the arm did not heal. The skin sloughed away from the wounded sur- face and left it raw and sore. The doc- tors saw that it was necessary to graft portions of skin to the service to bring about a cure. They told the sick man of it, and they bared his side to cut off the strips of skin to put over the raw | arm. The blade flashed into the man’s side, the blood spurted out, and with a moan faint, sickened had been watch- pain. His wife ing. “Doctor, don’t do that again," begged. ‘Don’t cut him any more.

AN ARTFUL APPEAL. A Mendicant Who Succeeds In Extracting | Silver From FPassershy. An illustration of the depth to which one woman has sunk (or risen) in the after dark on the down town streets of Chicago, This woman has no favorite street. She simply plays them all, usu- ally side streets, where the young man with his best girl as often glides through because the crowds are not so dense or the lights so brilliant. This woman has two confederates who dress and act like laboring men. Each carries his little tin pail, and each shows evidence of having been hard at work. A young society man and his girl walk slowly along, indifferent to the world. Neither hears the almost inan- dible appeal for help. As the young coun- ple pass the mendicant the men with their tin pails and grimy hands stop | short and block the way. “Let's chip in a nickel apiece help that poor, starving creature,’’ one of them. ‘*All right, Joe, I'l1 do it. 1 an extra quarter today, and I spare a nickel." This not only attracts the and sys earned can just attention of the lovers, but it brings tears to the ! eyes of the girl, and involuntarily the thought flashes through the young man's mind that if two laborers can give up a portion of their hard earned money he can part with at least 20 cents and of- tener more, owing largely to what sort of an impression he wants to make upon | his companion. And so a bright silver coin drops int the cup held by the poor, starving crea ture, a few muffled so unds f ‘Bless you, bless yon,’ come from the h of rags sitting upon the raised and the little crowd of laborers, and object of charity dis each feeling happier mon contented, The young man never knows he bunct solves, and has ' 80 to spe ak, and neither next victim or the next, for known that the programmie re Inted peated until there are no los above 18 reg l parading 1 and M streets at night.

A GREAT HISTORIC TABLET. Professor Petrie Finds a Decord of the Crushing of Israel by Egypt. I was permitted to excavate along o and to examine the sites of temples which stand there, On these few fur longs 1 tound that there had been seven temples of the kings of the eighteenth and nineteenth dynasties, about 1450- 1150 B. C. Most of these 1 entirely cleared out, the largest picce of all the great buildings mound the Ramese- um-being the clearance of the Egyp- tian research account worked by Mr, Quibell. Each site gave us some return in information or objects, but the most valuable of the sites, as it proved, wus one of the least inviting. A field of stone chips showed where the funeral temple of Merenptah had stood, and, loft in the ruins, I found the great granite tablet bearing the long inscrip- tion of Merenptah about his Libyan war and his Syrian wor and naming Isracl This tablet is over 10 feet high, over 5 feet wide and over a foot thick, of one flawless block of very fine grained gran ite, or rather syenite, It was first cut Egypt, Amenhotep III, brilliantly ished as flat and glassy as pol- a mirror and offer. of Thebes, and an 3,000 hieroglyphs glorifying who all iptions of Amen, and his f ing to Amen, the god inscription of about recording his off the god.
