I atr bc dowa la the twilight oool : ' Of a buy summer's day. And dose my eyes, and lire again' The time so far away. When Eddie and James and Joan were here. And the tears to my eyes will creep. For I seem to sit in the old brown chair, A-rockin' the bojs to sleep.. I bring Job bach from a h at wsanm. Where fame and honor dwell. And sing and rock him to sleep once more. More happy than tongue can tell. I brave the storms on a shoreless sea . Where tempest and surges sweep. And Jsmes is here and I rock again "My wandering boy" to sleep. I build a stair to the bear ens tall. And reach in its sweet domain For little Eddie and bring him back To my lonely home again; My throbbing heart is heavy now With a yearning strong and deep. As I smooth the cnrls of my only babe And rock him once more to sleep. They say the old chair is useless now, Tia creaking, and dull with age. And must be forever put aside. Like a well-learned, worn-out page. But the old brown chair sings a song to me, As it whispers of other years. And it tells of the roughened places smoothed. And murmurs of childish .tears. Tea, the old chair tells in an undertone, la a voice so creaking and old. Of the comfort it gave through summer's heat. As well as in winter's cold: How those little dependent lives were soot bed Through their childish sorrows deep. As it did its best to ease each pain. While rocking the boys to sleep.

"What an awful pity that Tom Bow en has no. money," they said to them selves,, with the most pathetic em phasis. "His face and his manners sre perfect." "They like to flirt with me," he said, with a smile of self-disdain, "but they know better than to say 'yes' to me." To an observer, her eyea seemed resting on his now, but he knew they wtre only Idly glancing. "Do you value tbe trinket so highly?" Rowen had Just asked. "The trinket?" she exclaimed. Indig nantly. "1 do not call it a trinket. It Is a most precious relic; it baa been In the family almost 200 years. I would give anything to have the bracelet back again anything!" "Let us be practical. What would you bestow upon tbe man who will re store your bracelet to you?" "Anythlng-anythingI" cried Miss Kent, sitting upright, her eyea spar kling. "You hare no Idea how much I want that bracelet! Besides my af fection for it, do you know there la a legend connected with It, to the effect that so long as It Is kept In the family, good luck will never desert the Kenta?" "But tbe reward?" quietly persisted the young man. Myra Kent laughed the sweet sin cere laugh which Rowen had come to know so well, and which waa so differ ent from that of most girls of fashion. "There is little I would not give," she said, half in earnest. "I believe 1. would give my band, if the man did me : the honor to want It." Tom Rowen rose to his feet. Though " his eyes glowed peculiarly, though his " face was pale, he yet commanded his . voice, so aa to say, mockingly: "Of course. Miss Kent, yon are safe : sough Id adding that last clause to your offer of reward. Yon know the bracelet is gone Irrecoverably. Yon lost It on the highway more than a week ago; you have yourself looked, over very foot of the road. Some tramp baa found It; it la probably In some ob scure pawnbroker's shop by this time." He added a few more words on some other subject, and then he saantered lowly away down one of the walks of the garden and disappeared among tbe trees. Aa soon as be waa out of sight bis whole appearance changed. H looked alert and alive. He stood still a mo ment, glancing about him. . "It is all folly. I know, but I am go ing te try to find the bracelet for her. I should Ike to do that Of course I eannot ask her to be my wife; she is the last person under the sun to be a poor man's wife. Hdr father would disinherit her, and how am I going to get her the. fol-de-role which are neces sary to her existence?" While he walked be was looking among the dust-covered golden rod and grasses along the roadside. He went on thus for half a mile, then ha reach ed a turn, and retraced his step on the other side of the way. He gave up the next three hour to a thorough exam ination of the space of road where the bracelet had been lost. Like all people who are looking for some lost article, it seemed to him that underneath every shrub, secreted be hind every stone, be should find th-.' treasure. There Is a wonderful fascina tion In such a search. It was not until dusk that Rowen gave It up for that day, and returned to the hotel In the village where he wa yfaring. For tbe next two days he was en gaged in the same way, and be did not see Miss Kent, who wondered at his absence. But why should she remember him? ' Waa net rich young Town-end. who ; was said to be "dying for her," ready nt her call? And were there not picnics and parties, and excursions. In which Myra Kent was the principal figure? ltowen often asked himself If tbe girl knew that she had not seen him. It was in vain that he scoffed at himself, for every hour in tbe day be must own tliat be loved her that the thought tli at be must live his life without ber was so unbearable to him that he fought against it. On the fourth any from that on which tbe conversation on tbe balcony Lad been held, Rowen said that he would give this one day to tbe search, iu.l, if the bauble was not found, he would summarily cut short the fascina , t.un which bound blm he would take i ti.e evening train to tondon. "1 think 1 am losing my senses," he :tld, as be strolled down the road, his I eyes fixed on the ground, bis cigar for- ; gotten between his lips. There waa a rustle in the bushes, a shrill bark soturdod. and tbea out , ! Utti f&aya tents trfi lew at Rowen la aa exuberance of gladness at sight of him. - Rowen topped to caresa tba creature, which belonged to Myra Kent, and was ber constant companion. The young man's eye glanced about hoping to see the dog's mist rose; hut no one appeared, and at last Rowen was sure she was not near. Instead of going back in a few mo menta tho dog kept neat, and a loot, when Rowen tried to drive him away. Alfred persisted In remaining. "You are not at all like your ml trss," said Rowen. with some bitter ness. "She wonld not manifest such delight at being with me." - Th man and dog went on slowly, and It waa not until some minutes had passed that Rowen noticed that the terrier continually turned back and looked at him aa If asking him to come. Idly at last Rowen turned and fol lowed Alfred, who leaped a atone wall and flew across a field covered with faded golden rod. He uttered sho t barka of satisfaction as he went, and waa constantly turning about to aee that Rowen followed. He went faster and faster, so that finally Rowen was nearly running to keep him In sight. 8uddeoly the dog leaped and scram bled down the steep bank of a dry wa ter course, and when Rowen came to tbe edge and looked down be uttered an exclamation of alarm and surprise and then awung himself down from a birch tree and fell rather than walked to a place where lay a figure whose blue dress and bright scarf were fam iliar to hla eyes. "Myra!" he cried, aa he flung himself down by her. All his love and agony were In that word. He had feared to find her senseless, dead, but she looked at him, and a faint smile came to- ber white Hps. Aa she met his eyes, 'as tbe fire In them poured down upon her, a tinge of color came Into her face. "I think most of my ribs are broken, and perhaps the rest of my bones," she said, with anr effort at speaking as lightly as her words sounded. "But I've found my bracelet." ' A a she spoke the last words her face turned deathly white, and she sank still further back in unconsciousness. A quarter of an hour later, when lire returned to her. she found herself sujv ported In Rowen's arms, and before she opened her eyea she felt a pair of trem bling lips pressed passionately up. n ber own. "Forgive me; Forgive nie!" murmur ed Rowen. "I was wild I thought you dead! May you never suffer aa I have." She tried to withdraw herself, but he held ber fast; be could not let her go. There was something In her face that emboldened- him, that made his hox-s rise lntoxlcatlngly. "And now that I am not dead?" she whispered, at last "Ah, now now I will never let you go!" he exclaimed, holding her yet closer. "Have yon ever guessed how I love you?" "Yes I half fancied but " was the low response. But what?" I dared not think of it because be- cause I was afraid 1 should discover that I loved you!" was the delicious reply- A few moments after he said: "I intended to have found that brace let myself." It's all tbe same," she said, shyly smiling, "since I have found it." Spare Moments. HOUSE RENTS HIGH IN LONDON. Desirable Quarters Command Bin; Rates ia the World's Metropolis. Pretty nearly everybody understands, of course, that house rents are very considerably greater in London than they are in provincial towns, and that in the metropolis they vary greatly, and are very stiff in the regions in which society hovers. But a writer In Tit-Bits ventures to think that even few Londoners have much idea of the enormous figures paid for the rentals of fashionable bouses in Belgravia and Mayfalr, or realize how few square yards of the west end It takes to pro duce a million sterling in this way. Now, take, to start with. Park lane, that highly fashionable thoroughfare. It is rather staggering to learn that $60,000 a year is really not at all very extravagant rent to pay for a good house in this quarter! The plain, sim ple fact of tbe matter Is, however, that you cannot get a decent house here for less than $15,000, and even such a one would only have three or four bed rooms,, and, generally speaking, would not have greater accommodations than a house at $250 or $800 a year In the suburbs, or at half that price In a pro vincial town. Grosvenor square and Berkeley square are renowned headquarters of society, which pays astonishingly for Its residence there. Consider the for mer first The whole square comprises fewer than sixty houses, but It Is a fact that their combined annual rental Is about $750,000! Big as the rents are, getting a bouse here Is a matter of great difficulty and seldom Is there one to let for long. Nothing can be got for less than $5,000 a year and from this figure an Intending tenant may go up to $30,000 a year. Berkeley square Is likewise difficult to get Into. It la rather old-fashioned and severe and the average man or woman from tbe country might not be able to see anything about the houses which would Justify a heavy drain be ing made upon a tenant's pocket But all tbe same houses here are always at a premium and you will not get much of a residence for $2,500 a year, nor yet so far as that goes. Is the accommoda tion very astonishing If $10,000 a year Is paid. St. James' square Is another ultra fashionable quarter which a millionaire might have to wait years to get into if he desired to live there $15,000 or $20, 000 a year Is quite a moderate rent for a house so situated while Norfolk bouse, where the Duke of Norfolk re sides, and such others as Lord Derby's residence at S3, would easily realise $50,000 a year In rent. Carlton House terrace, where states men and ambassadors live, also costs Its tenants dearly. At least $20,000 a year must be paid for anything good In this particular neighborhood and Mr. Astor gave more than $300,000 when he purchased one of the bouses in the ter race, formerly occupied by Lord Gran ville. Yet the ordinary man would re mark that the houses are not even semi detached and that outwardly, at all events, they are far from Imposing.

"You're a coward!1 A sentence cal culated to make any schoolboy clench his flat and promptly endeavor to make his accuser, prove or eat his - words. "Yea, of course you are, or you would u't told that you were one of the party that, upset old Mother Tuck's cart;" and Dan Isaacs, tbe bully of the school, scowled at the delicate-looking, slim lad, who stood quietly, If nervously, before him. In the cricket ground. "Perhaps I am," was the reply, "but, then I did not pocket any of the old. woman's apple afterwards,", and, Dicky Ford grew bolder as be went on: "No, a spree la one thing, but to rob a poor apple woman Is very different." "Ill knock your young bead off, Ifs you aay that again," roared Dan, crim son with rage and the knowledge of his meanness, which he thought had not been seen by any of the other boys. But Dicky, lighter of foot than his persecutor, had scudded off to the other end of the field. Presently there was a noise of men and -women shouting and screaming In the road close by, and every boy ran to the low wall that bounded the cricket field. Down the road at a terrific pnee came a mad bull, followed by scores of men and boys at a respectful dis tance. The sight of the boys on the wall at tracted Its attention, and with a bellow It turned on them, tearing headlong at the wall with a mad bound. Of course, tbe boys scattered In all directions as the animal half, fell, half cleared the wall, and then scrambling to Its feet, stood for a second before charging the fleeing crowd. Nobody In the hurry had noticed that Dan Isaacs bad sprained hta ankle as he Jumped from the wall, and was try ing painfully to escape the notice of the bull by crawling Into tbe shelter of the little clump of trees In the corner of the cricket ground. Suddenly, the furious beast caught sight of blm, and with a nerce oenow turned on him. ' Poor Dan, nearly dead with fright and pain, Just managed to elude the mad rush by tbe aid of a friendly tree, but a few minute of dodging tired him out, and he screamed for help, while the men and boys seemed psralyzed and unable to sug gest any mearm of diverting the bull's attention. Then they all held their breath In fright as little pickle, with a shout, burst to the front, dribbling before him a football right up to the bull. "Come back, come back!" they cried, you'll be killed!" But Dicky was no coward now. With a firm kick he sent the ball slap in the face of the bull as he was on the point of tossing the now fagged-out Dan. Staggered by the sudden sting of the ball the beast In Its blind rage turned to follow tbe football as It rebounded from its head, seeing In it a new enemy. and, butting at it fiercely, wm soon at tbe other end of the field, while tbe boys helped the badly-frightened Dan over tbe wall and hurried over them selves as two men with rifles nude their appearance. Stopping for a while to take breath the bull glared around him as If uncer tain what to do next He had not much time for decision, however, as two re ports rang out heavily on tbe air, and the bull fell headlong, rose with a roar of pain and anger, and then, as another shot echoed against the . school wai n, fell again, with a thud, this time with a bullet through his heart. "Three cheers for Dicky Ford!" shouted the boys, as they gathered round the dead beast. And they gave them, too, with a will, while Dan, with tears In his eyes. In broken tones begged Dicky's pardon for calling him a coward. "Fancy going for a bull with a foot ball!" they all cried; "why, nobody but Dicky wonld have thought of such a thing." "I don't know why I did It," said Dick, blushing at the enthusiastic greet ings of the other boys; "but I Just thought perhaps a kick at the bull with a football might take bis attention, away from Dan." "Hurrah for Dicky Ford!" they all shouted again; and Dickie could't help thinking that he had had, after all. his revenge, on the boy who called him coward. Waverley Magazine. The Bone Jinale.

At WONDERFUL Nerve of a Man with Broken Lex Hop ping Toward Home. William Francis, 42 years old, of 3U6 Van Sieklen avenue, Brooklyn, aston ished the police of tbe Liberty Avenne Station, In that borough, with a re markable exhibition of nerve. Francis was found on the street near tbe Van Slcklen Avenue Station of tbe Kings County Elevated Railroad hopping along on one foot in the direction of his home. He would fall, and then, with great effort, pick himself up again and continue hopping. "What's the matter with you?" ask ed a policeman. "Guess I've broken my leg," return ed Francis, quietly. "tfroaen your iegr nere ma it happen ?' gasped tbe surprised police (man. "Oh, I fell on a sidewalk , over lr. Manhattan," replied Francis, about t resume his hopping toward home. The policeman stopped . him. "1 o you mean to say that you came all the way from Manhattan to East Nrv. York with a broken leg?" he asked in amazement. "Why, yes; I thougbt the best thirr I could do wonld be to come home, an . I came. "How'd you come?" "By the elevated." The policeman called an amlml.iuc and after Francis had been attendee by the surgeon he was taken to his home. "Gee, I suppose If he'd broken both his legs he'd have walked home on his hands," declared tbe policeman In pro found admiration of Francis' nerve. New York Times.

Wives, mothers and daughters who do their own work should have the very best of everything to do it with. Ivory Soap is the best: it cleans quickest and is easiest on the hands. It floats. A WORD OF WARNING. There are many whits soaps, each rrprssented to be "just si good as the 'Ivory';" they ARS NOT. but like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkabla qualities ot .tht genuine. Ask for "Ivory" Soap and Insist upon getting tt. a av tmc ere Red, Rough Hands, Itching:, Burning Palms, and Painful Finger Ends. One Night Treatment Soak the hands on retiring in a strong, hot, creamy lather of CUTICURA SOAP. Dry, and anoint freely with CUTICURA, the great skin cure and purest of emollients. Wear, during the night, old, loose kid gloves, with the finger ends cut off and air holes cut in the palms. For red, rough, chapped hands, dry, fissured, itching, feverish palms, with shapeless nails and painful finger ends, this treatment is simply wonderful, and points to a speedy cure of the most distress ing cases when physicians and all else fail.

Nights, I had to walk the floor until I fell asleep. My hands peeled like an onion, the finger nails got loose, and the water ran out, and wherever there was a little pimple there the burning fire wag that happened at least ten times. 1 am running a blacksmith shop, horse shoeing, and I would not shut up the shop for anybody, but It was hard. My hands puffed up worse than a toad. When I drove horse nails, the water from my hands ran through the bandage, on to the floor. My cus tomers refused to look at my hand.
