By Ooorgo Lincoln /• m -..-• zfcf Till; .n IMI K fell into the way of watching them naturally enough, After the court, adjourned in the early afternoon, he iilway- took a ride on hi- bicycle and never failed to visit the beautiful stretch of boulevard re cently opened along the si ring of lakes. They both eainc of well-to-do fami lies, and their manner led him to think there was bleeding behind them. How then did he come to know that they loved each other? yon ask. How was It possible not to know it? He was not always past .M)nml lie had a good mem ory. So when the Judge noticed’the way “he” looked at “hei " and I he way "she" looked at "him" and the tenderness of the young man's courtesy, the judge knew well enough how mallei were. She was a beautiful woman, not over 20, and gave one an impres ion of trig ness and neatness. He was a manly chap of lit’, athletic, bron/cd and thoroughly “lit," as my nephew says. My nephew plays on the 'varsity football team and is authority }n our family on nidi muttei . And they noticed the judge. After a while he got Into the way of bowing to them, although liny didn't know he was .1 udge Slurrow, and lie didn't know them. One dreamy, Indian summer after noon the judge went up among the tree on the side of the lake to a she! tered nook he knew, and lay down to rest. There hfld been a puzzling ease before li lin that morning and while thinking' it over lie must have fallen u> Jeep. He was suddenly aware that just out aid*' his shelter n man and woman were talking. He Minn discovered that they smi 1 "h lovers," as he called them, and they were dismissing some unhap py iin inn -la nee regarding their after -Ikm. What should he do? There was no way out except past them. Would it not be more delicate to remain till they had gone, not listen ng, and they would never know anyone had’ ever heard them. I tut try a he would, It vv;e iin pm- si bh not to hear t heir vv hide conversation. “Hut what difference does that make?" n l,ei| the young man. "You know pcrfei-tly Weil, Alice, that if it were a 11t <11 .ml times wore, that if il were you yourself, I would marry you." “ff. Iml Ihlnk of H. Ned! Think what your friends would say ! ‘Ned (irant omniid the laughter of an embezzler serving his time in jail!’ " The judge couldn’t help wondering If tI. W 1 li. 111 • supreme lei eh, whom he had never met, although he knew his father in limntely . 'I he girl’s gentle voice broke as she said this and Ned cried: "O, Alice, I wish you wouldn't think of that. It just breaks me up to see you cry, y ou know." Then followed a silenee during vv hieh Alice must have bei n in some way com forted, for she aid', in a steady voice; "No, my dear buy, I have been very weak to sei you so often, and have then- rich -. I should have refu-ed and tried tu forget you. Hut, Ned, 1 couldn't. 1 nin't think of any thing but you and Ido love you so!" More silence. Then: "And Ned, this really must be the last. 1 can't marry you. No, dear, please don’t go all over il again. I know that ll would be a great wrong to you to say yes. It would always be a hindrance to you. We would have no friends, and a young: lawyer must have friends. Who would come to your bouse if they knew your wife was 1 1, • daughter of Hand, the embez./h-i That was where the Judge almost dis covert and himself. He sentenced Hand to Z<> yi ir ban labor and he had still I.', years to serve. It wn a queer case! and not quite clear. So this was the moll. l rlt-s. • girl he I:ad heard -i much about “Now, act Let it, Alice," the young man said, “you know it takes two to make a quarrel, and it fakes tvro to make a separation. So while you may think it best not to sec me again, I shall not give you up and f shall see you every opportiimty I can. so long ns it doesn’t bother you. Dad knows all about it and he’s with me.”' The judge wanted to shout: “flood for dad," but he didn't. Then after another longer silence they left him alone. As ho rode slowly home he turned the little tragedy over and over in his mind and the more he thought about it the more he felt that he had made a mistake by staying and listening. At last he evolved a plan calculated to ease his own conscience and give the young man some courage. So the judge sent him this letter: "Mr. Ed win Grant; "I had the misfortune to ovc hear yait of your (M.i.l a icn wMi Allrm Rand to day, although In uuite an accidental man ner. If. as I surmise, you are the son of Grant, of the supreme, you are made of the right sort of stuff to regard Miss Rand s views as only a temporary obstacle to your happiness I sentenced Rand, and If you care to call on rrv I should b<- glad to see u Pei ■ • . i ko oin i meets to make Miss Hand look at th- case differently. At any rate I agrei with his honor, your father, and am aso 'with you,' Yours, "ROBERT STORROW." The next day the judge was obliged to go to a distant city to act as referee in a ease. The Rand ease was almost purely a circumstantial one and bung on the handwriting in which the false entries had been made la the books. The handi writing experts till agreed that the en tries had been made by Rand; indeed, the prisoner admitted as much. He had pleaded “not guilty,” and when he admitted the identity of the handwriting there \\i little left to db for him. Ilis counsel was completely battled by (lie ad mi.-- ion and Hand re fused to explain it in any way. It could never be found how Hand had disposed of (he sum he embezzled. In fact, not a penny of the missing money was ever found, and the bank charged it to profit and loss. Hooper, the president of the bank, was in constant attendance at the trial, and expressed great sorrow for Hand. Shortly after 'lie i-ntence Hooper left the hank and went to another city, wli' ii he engaged in a private banking and brokerage business. It was in this city that Judge Storrow was now sit ting. i One nt liis chin the conversa tion drift! and round fo money and bank ing. The judge made the remark that he wished to procure a letter of credit for his niece, who was going abroad, and someone suggested Hooper’s house as tiie iiesf place In get it. “lly Ihi' way,” said his adviser, “yon sentenced the cashier of the hank of which Hooper used to he president, didn't you?” The judge said lie did. “Well," continued the man, “that’s (he way some men treat those who have been kind to them. My wife grew up in the village where Hooper and I!andi were hoys together. Hand was.not in very gooil eircnnislanees, while Hooper hail plenty of money. At that time Hooper was quietly buying tip a great deal of land through which he knew a railroad wa projected. He let Kami in on the ground floor, lent him money, and then, when they realized, collected Hand's notes, timl in this way they both math- money, and Hand's share was a modcra'e fortune to a man in his cir cumstance It wasn’t many yearn be fore Hand had lost his money in fool ish investments. Then Hooper got him the position of cashier in the hank while he wa pn -ideal. It seems pret ty tough for Hand to have stolen all that money. The directors asked Hooper for his resignation, of course, and he was obliged to come here and start fresh.” Now, lids was a part of the story that the judge had never heard before. It little agreed with his personal impres sion- which of course has nothing to do with the “law and evidence.” He had an idea that Hand was nut tiiat sort of a man, and, curiously enough, he had acquired an antipathy for Hooper. (irndnally he found himself forced to a conclusion for which there was little reason. He somehow thought that Hooper was the guilty man and Hand the innocent. He had known a few similar eases of quixotic grat it tide. The next day he called at the hank ing house of Hooper A Cos. A he was leaving he met Hooper face to face. The man went white, and staggered against the door jamb as if he had been struck. "Why how d'ye do*.’ Why I didn't expect fo see von," he stammered. “Anything we can do for you?” The judge look *d him square in tin* eye and id “No. Mr. Hooper, nothing you can do, unless but never mind now," and be gave him a peculiar look under which Hooper quailed. The judge had not gone two blocks before one of the clerks came rushing after him and said Mr. Hooper want ed him to come back. He found Hoop er striding the floor and mumbling to himself. "My Cud, Judge, do you know?” he cried. “1 know you lire a scoundrel," the judge n plied,surprised out of his self control. "I did it, Judge. I did it." "I knew it," calmly replied the judge. "I eiune to (his city Itecnuse I couldn't stand meeting you, and 1 have never had a happy or an easy moment since. I've lived in constant tear of apprehension.” The Judge, stepping back, turned the key in the lock and put it into lis pocket. Then he went to the tel ephone, told jKillce headquarter.- who he was and aski <1 them to send him an inspector at the banking office. "Vow," he said, “befir* • ither of ns leave 11 A room you are going to write the whole story. Vou will sign il in the presence of witnesses, and in side of two wet kb Hand will be u free flinn Von will be arrested at once} but tot two weeks, for ray own reasons, you will continue to conduct your business, and a headquarters man will be always with you. You can explain hisi presence in any way that you like. Now sit down and write ” Hooper shrank from the task, but the judge insisted. When he had fin ished and was ready to sign, there came a tap at the door and a stranger was ushered in. He locked the door after him, and the judge had a low conversation with him. The confes sion was duly signed and witnessed. it set. forth Hooper’s necessity to obtain funds further than those avail able, and how lie had taken from time to time, showing Kami fictitious notes, so tli.it Kami had every reason to .sup pose flic bank was making loans. in short, he had made the entries in perfect good faith, and then when the stealing was made, known he bad kept silence, remembering all the ben efits received. It was, of course, a questionable thing for him to do, but there was no doubting the nobility of I the man’s character. That night the judge started for I home. There the next day he laid the j confession before the governor and ; liis council, who took the preliminary i steps to release Kami. That evening Ned Grant called, say- I ing he had failed to find the judge at home, on pr< vious evenings. He knew enough of law to appreciate some I things the judge told him. “Now,” said the judge, "this tangle i can he straightened out. You bring ! Alice here two weeks from to-night, I and I’ll try to change her views.” At last the night came. The judge was decidedly nervous. The bell rang, ami in came Ned ami Alice. He had told her about the Judge, ami she blu.-hed prettily when he was intro duced. After he had explained at some length that his eavesdropping was quite accidental, lie began to argue with her on the matter. She took the same high ground as before- that it war, doing Ned a wrong. Ami she had a pretty good ease, too. At last ho said: “So there is no way of turning you? You would marry if your father were not in prison for embezzlement?” She nodded and the judge silently handed her a long typewritten confes sion. Kami had been living quietly with the judge for the last few day* and knew the whole story. Ned stood near carefully watching her, and as the door opened noiseless ly he saw .John Kami waiting for his daughter to look up and see him. Hooper is still serving his time.— Boston Globe. A MISSIONARY HEN. Mir Wan llrouulit from Koo-Koo, Clilnn, iiikl Mir l.iiiil I-'ku" fur Ihr Ilcatlirn. Some ten years ago Capt. J. Clifford Kntwisle, now city clerk of Salem, then master of a New York vessel sail ing to China and Japan, brought home from ( hina a little hen. lie named the bird Koo-Koo, 'or the town whence she came, lie presen‘cd the hen to his wife, find the bird gradually became a pet of the house. She would lay her eggs in the house. Capt. and Mrs. Kntwisle were in terested in church and missionary work. So Mrs. Entwisle conceived the idea of devoting the proceeds of the eggs and chickens of Koo-Koo to the missionary cause, find for the seven years little Koo-Koo lived fill hep earnings went to convert Chinese heathens,and a good many dollars w cut that way. The hen became as much of a |iet as a cat or dog. She would lay her egg and then go into tne kitchen and cluck until someone went and found the egg; then she would fly up on the window sill and peek fit the win dow fis ti sign that she wished to go outdoors. Finally little Koo-Koo died, and was stuffed and used as an ornament. Mrs. Kntwisle wrote a very pretty little story, founded on the history of Koo- Koo, and sent it to be read to (he chil dren in the far-away land whence came the hen. There it took so well that it was translated into Chinese and read to the little Chinese children in their own language. It was the story of a little hen called Koo-Koo, which under took to support one little ( hinese girl that she might be educated. It con tained fin account of a meeting of tho children of Koo-Koo, quite a numerous tribe of various ages. After hearing that story read, a Chi nese hoy painted a picture of the meet ing of Koo-Koo and her descendant! to represent a scene described by Mrs. Kntwisle. It represents the old lien and three younger ones, with eight or ten very small chicks. The picture is made on a sheet of brown paper, and the hens are almost life-size for Chi nese hens. It was sent to the mission urv headquarters in Itoston first, and yesterday was sent down to Mrs. Knt wisle, by whom it is highly prized.— Itoston Herald. lie (lot It, Too.

No big operation is done at these spots except in the case of limbs so shattered as to equine immediate amputation. The surgeons at the “dressing places” do only what is absolutely necessary, and then the wounded are made comfort able in specially constrneted ambulance wagons and transported to the field hospital.

In More Often Applied to the Great Engine* of Death. “The evolution of the word ‘gun* forms an interesting study in up-to date etymology,” remarked one of a party of newspaper men, says the New Orleans Times-Democrat. “A dozen or so years ago we all understood gun to mean a fowling piece -a shotgun as dis tinguished from a rifle or a musket. Heavy and light ordnance, in fact all pieces of artillery, without regard to size, were known as cannon. That, of course, was where people made an ef fort to speak English. Out in the frontier *he word gun was applied ex clusively to pistols. “Nowadays the nomenclature has curiously changed. By degrees the good old word gun lias become monop olized by ti e long, slim, murderous inu- chines that constitute our modern ar tillery. We speak of quick-tire guns, eight-inch, ten-inch, twelve-inch guns, and the word seems singularly apropos. They are not cannon. ‘Cannon’ imme diately suggests the big, lumbering, black-throated, smooth-bores of the past. The word conjures up all sorts of curious antique pictures swabbers naked to 1 lie waist, motionless men holding lighted matches, frigates lashed together and firing into each other's ports, Sepoys bound to tbe muzzle, neat geometric pyramid* of round shot in neat geometric forts, the charge of the Light Hrignde, and lots of other things too numerous to met tion.” Tilc Scotm mill tinv 11 pinim. Tn a paper on “Recent Ethnograph ical Work in Scotland,” rend before the liritish association, Mr. Cray described his observations on the color of the hair and eyes of the schoolchildren of East Aberdeenshire. The piginenta- tion of the Scotch children was shown in u. table and compare!! with the con tinental districts, whence, according to tradition and history, the lowland Scots derived a large element of their population vi/.: Schleswig-Holstein, Lueneberg, and M.eeklenlurg-Sehwerin, t he reputed original seats of the Angles and Saxons. The tables showed tnat the three north German districts were more blonde than Mast Ab'' ,-,lo enshire. Germany got more brunette and less blonde from north to south, and we must go as fur as upper Bavaria to get a district approximating in pigmenta tion to East Aberdeenshire.
