AOOKINQ THCBOY9 TO SLEEP.
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.

Tbe Lost Bracelet 2
iMHtittMcmtmitHfit
YRA KENT wa sitting in a
low chair on the balcony, her
' head leaned back, her evea
lowered to the face of the young man
who lounged on tbe steps near her a
! handsome young man, the "second
Adonis," tbe ladles were wont to call
him.
"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."

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.

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.

In the country it is hard to get help for the house
hold work. 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

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.

I had high fever, and cold chills ran over me, and so I kept It going until
I was tired out. 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

My hands puffed up worse than a toad. When I drove horse nails, the
