Oh, we have learned {o peer and pore On tortured puzzles from your youth. We know all labyrinthine lore, We are the three Wise Men of yore And we know all things but the truth. ‘We have gone round and round the hill, And lost the wood amorl; the trees. And learned long names for every ill And served the mad gods. naming still The Furies the Eumenides. The gods of violence took the veil Of wisdom and philosophy.

Ths world grows terrible and white, nd blinding white the breaking day. we walk bewildered in the light, For something is too large for sight, . And something much too plain to say. The Child that was ere worlds begun (We need but walk a little way. We need but see a latch undone), The Child that played with moon and sun Is playing with a little hay. The house from which the heavens are fed, The old strange house that is our own; Where tricks of words are never sald, And Mercy is as plain as bread And ‘Honor is as hard as stone.

It was a case of phenomenal interest. Two young ‘fellows of good birth, companions Bince childhood, had set themselves to earn fame and fortune, or the latter, at least, in their native place, Albert “Meyrick as an artist, Herbert Carston as a doctor.- Their love for each other »was brotherly; vet love proved the gulf which separated them. Both had been fascinated with the charms of a sunny-haired, bright-eyed laughing picture of beauty. Her admirers were legion; but her favors were fairly equally bestowed between these two. One morning people were horrified with the report .of murder. Meyrick had been shot in his studio. A revolver was found on the table a few inches frcm the dead body. The bullet, which, after passing through his head, bad lodged in the wall opposite, ex- actly fitted the chamber and was pre- cisely similar to the others which the revolver contained. Both revolver and cartridges were proved to have been bought by Carston within twenty-four bours of the crime. He was known to have been at the house at the time of the crime, as nearly as possible. All these things he fully admitted. Only one fact he denied; but this was + evidence that chiefly condemned m Edna Dalton, the girl through jeal- ously of whom he was supposed to have committed the murder, swore to seeing him close to the house. In- deed, she had spoken to him; but he strangely passed her, refusing to speak. The general evidence against him was so overwhelming that there could be no doubt of the issue. The Jury found the prisoner guilty, and the judge senteyced him to death. Po * # * * # * Mr. Dickinson, Herbert's solicitor, was disturbed in his office by a young lady, whom he failed at first to recog- nize as Edna Dalton. What a marvelous change! Her hag- gard face, large eyes, looking larger from their sunken sockets, the fierce, determined expression of her face, made the old lawyer betray his sur- prise in spite of himself. Was this the airy, smiling creature of a few weeks ago? She had aged years. He placed a seat for her, and inquired the object of her visit. “To free Herbert Carston. He is innocent and I have discovered the culprit!” “Have you any evidence of statement?’ “Ample. The murderer has a foot two inches longer that Herbert. He wore a pair of old goloshes with a cut across the left sole. Herbert never possessed such things. On that night he wore a light suit, the other fellow wore a dark tweed suit, with a red thread—rather 2 peculiar kind of ma- terial, lighter in weight and cheaper.” “How, in the name of all that is ra- tional, did you learn all this?” “Thereby hangs my tail. I believed Herbert to be innocent. I obtained permission to see the house. I search- ed the house without success. I was yielding to despair, and wandered into the back garden. Suddenly Fido cap- ered about me with something in his mouth. It was a handkerchief. I took jt. A glance made my heart stop— bloodstains. It was a woman's marked ‘B. H, No. 4’ 1 recognized it, and knew the owner. I smelt it; a very peculiar smell it had. “I renewed my search with vigor. For three days I hunted unceasingly. “My total discoveries were come threads of cloth torn off while squeez- ing through a small window, blood- stains on the sash arising from.a cut with a rusty nail in the wood, foot- prints on the ground beneath the win- dow. Very close examination dis- closed a peculiar imprint with a cut your | sources across. —goloshes! From these links, how should I form a chain? First, the handkerchief, and I went to Whitton’s, the chemist’'s. He ransacked his shop, but could not find me a scent like it. I shot an arrow at a venture. “ “You sold some to Miss Harvey, 1 think?’ : ** ‘Oh, yes; I know now. 1 got that especially for her. I am sorry I have none left.’ “I reeled out of the shep. I was on the track. ‘B. H.’ were Bertha Har- vey’'s initial§; this was her handker- chief. I went straight to her house. During my stay I pretended to- have lost my handkerchief. She lent me the exact counterpart of the one I had found, save that it was marked ‘No. 7. 1 iwitted her that I knew she was in the habit of lending her handker- chiefs to gentiemen. She laughed and blushed and I bantered her into con- fession. She had never lent but one, and she told me to whom. I involun- tarily jumped from my chair, but had enough self-control to recover myself, pretending I had assumed astonish- ment. “Now 1. had fairly run down my game. Ati one time he paid me such attention that I had to ignore him. I knew his landlady well. “My plan was formed immediately: Entice him with the softest words and all your re- of fascination; from him and the old woman you will learn and obtain all. “I succeeded beyond my wildest hopes. By dint of coaxing and pres- ents I induced the old dame to let me do as-I pleased. Then I made her my confidante... I wanted to make her lodger a pair of slippers without his knowledge. ~ She offered me a pair to measure. No; I knew he had an old pair of goloshes somewhere. Could I have them for a day or two? We searched together. Buried in a cor- ner of the wardrobe we found a pair. I turned them up; there was a cut across the sole of the left foot. I took them to poor Mr. Myrick’s house; they fitted the prints exactly. “I have traced the suit of clothes, and can prove the purchaser and the date of purchase. But one thing re- mains undone. I swore I saw Herbert three minutes after the murder close to the back of the house. As Herbert is dark, and the culprit is light, he must have disguised himself, which proves design. A local hairdresser says he lent the same man some wigs, whiskers. etc. for private theatricals. Concerning the deed itself, you know Herbert swore he left the revolver with Mr. Meyrick an hour before.” “You astound me,” said the old law- yer. “Don’t you think there are good grounds for his arrest?” “Certainly. Who is he?” “Mr. Vernon Stanton, the curate of St. Mark's.” Mr. Dickson fairly leaped from his chair with an irreverent expression of surprise. It took him some little time to subside into his usual calm. Then he sent for the inspector of police, putting all details into his pos- session. Two hours after the officer returned to Mr. Dickinson's office with a somewhat gloomy face. “It is all over,.Mr. Dickinson.” “What, has he confessed?” “Yes, in words and action. I was going up. to Mr, Stanton’ S rooms, when I saw him coming. He was in a great hurry, carrying a portmanteau. This, with his face, made me think he knew we were after him. Well, I followed him. "As 1 expected, he went to the railway station. I touched him, and advised him not to buy a ticket, as he Ww vould Waste money. He turned paler than Hamlet's ghost. *“ ‘Heaven help me. I was mad. It was all for her, he said, in a quaver- ing voice. ‘Please do not handcuff me,” he implored. - Nayery well, Mr. Stanton,” I re- plied. ! “Fist then the shriek of an express whistle made me start. He dropped his bag and rushed across the plat- form. He won the race—I lost a pris- oner. He jumped clean on to the buffers, which hurled him off like a football, over and over. His body is lying at the morgue now.” Every cloud has its silver lining.

The American game, however, can hardly be more violent than was the game as originally played in England, if we may judge from the denuncia- tion of its enemies. According to Sir Thomas Elyot, a baronet of the time of the Tudors, the game consisted of “nothing but beastlie furie and ex- treme violence,” while Stubbes, the Puritan, describes it as a “bloody and murthering practice” and a “devilish husiness altogether.” The fact that many players are injured seems to him no marvel. “For they have the sleights to meet one betwixt two, and to dash him against the heart with their elbows, to butt him under the short ribs with thew clenched fists and with their knees to catch him on the hip or pitch him on the neck, with a hundred such murthering devices.” —Westminster Gazette. Produced Desired Effect. At a recent political meeting in Brighton, England, a speaker, finding that the point of one of his jokes had missed, sorrowfully remarked: “I had hoped, gentlemen, that you would have laughed at that.” A plaintive voice came through the silence—“I laughed, mister.” Then everybody laughed.

Need of More Effective Protection and Providing Supply of Birds. The thorough restocking of game covers is urged in a report issued By the Department of Agriculture, Wash- fngton, in a report on “Game Condi tions in January.” “Now that the kunting season is practically over,” the report says, “the biological sur vey suggests that efforts be directed todard insuring more effective pro tection of game and an adequate supply for the future. Owing to the non-migratory character of quail and the ‘consequent’ depletion of various localities where huntiig has been excessive, or ‘the “birds have been killed off by the severity of the past two winters, restocking is frequently necessary, but the demand - for live birds for this purpose far exeeeds the available supply. The difficulty. is augmented by the fact that Southern birds are scarcely hardy enough to stand Northern winters, and hence it is difficult for Northern. States to se- cure birds suited to the climate. The game commissioners of some States, particularly Massachusetts and New Jersey, for several years have en- deavored to obtain a supply of quail, but have been only partially success- ful. “Perceiving that absence of food and shelter is the principal cause of mortality, State officials, game asso- ciations, and many private individu- als have united in attempting to make good these deficiencies. Grain and other food have been distributed freely and systematically after heavy snowfalls, when the" usual food is covered, "and ‘suitable shelter has been provided. Much activity pre- vailed last year in Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina and West Virginia. Such measures are needed to pre- serve the quail from possible ultimate extinction; for with a growing army of sportsmen hunting them annually— an army that now numbers hundreds of thousands in this country—their ranks are each fall reduced so far below the normal that, if the succeed- ing winter happens to be severe, extermination of many colonies is al most sure to follow. Such a result is deplorable, not only from the stand: point of the sportsman, but, owing to the great value of the quail to agris cultural interests as the destroyer of insects and the seeds of weeds, from that of the farmer as well.” QUAINT AND CURIOUS.

A Chotaw’s word has been as good as a white man’s bond. This honorable tradition of the tribe has, however, been violated. Robert L.

He was finally arrest- ed in Utah and taken to Durant, in Indian Territory, where he will be tried. Folsom is said to be the first man of his tribe to flee from justice. The sensation of falling down a pre- cipice is one that few persons have had an opportunity of recording. Prof. Albert Heim, a well known geologist, has been able to describe the experi- ence ‘to the Swiss Alpine Club and re- lates that he was mot troubled in breathing and felt none of the paralyz: ing terrors that so often overwhelm victiims of sudden catastrophe. He felt perfect tranquility, though ‘re- markably quickened mental activity. Old memcries were revived pleasant- ly, much of life was lived over, and then his ears were filled with soft musical sounds, and consciousness was lost as the ground was struck. There was no pain or sensation of shock.

Human beings who do not have to actually forage for food naturally enough feel that it ‘is thoughtfulness itself 6H save the squrrels work.
