The wind tore through the streets as if it had gono mad ; whirling be Core it dust and snow and every movable thing it could lay its 4 clutcling hand upon. A poor old battered kite that some time last S autumn had lodged far up iii the tllest tree in the nc;ghborhood 1 so and had there rested peacefully ever since, believinig its latbors at an end, was drag~ged from its nest, and driven unpityingly before the blast. Some feeble efforts it had I made to dodge into corners, lurk ing behind steps and driving inlto areas ; but, rnot, a bit of it ! Down wouli swoop thie wind and off it would go again. At last., driven around one of the long row of barrels that stood like wretched sentinels along the I a' edge of the side walk, it flew int.o the very arms of a small boy, whbo, seated on the curb-stone, crotuched14 down in the barrei'b somewhat LI questionable shelter. Such a very small boy ! He looked like noth ing in the world bult a little heap h< of rags ; and the rags were very ea thin, andl the small boy wvas very cold. His nose, his cars, his bands anid his poor bare feet were blne. 11b was almost too cold to notice the unfortunate kite whtieb, as its enemy, the wind, approached with a roar, seemed to cower close toh im ,as if begginig his protection.t Round bothb sides of the barrel at tt once canme the wind, shook bainds right through poor1 Tfom, and, bowling with delight, rushed off' "* with its miserable victim. 'Tom'--that was ail the name h he came from, no one knew, ex elpt, p)erhap1s, the wretched old womatn with whom he lived; which meat~tnt that she let himm sleep upon a pile of rags on thbe toor- of h:'r miserable room, anid I1 soimet ime-s gave himrt a crust. btt otetier a blow. Wht' sui' wa8 drutk-and that was the greater part of the time-Tomn took to the streets; and by night she was very drunk. The boy was. per-a laps. some st: year-s old ; but asf' be cowered down on the- cold flagstones, with his worn, p)inchetd face and drooping head, he might have been a hundred. A carriage came rattling through the street and stopped I ,.l.-. by him. The door was -ih ushed opuin and two chiidrei :1t' t,Lmiblee out., ard leaving thi oor swinging rushed lip th< .eps. Tom watched then stu idl, e licard the quick, sliarl rig of' the bell, caught a glims( r< ' something that looked ver-3 right and warm, and then it wa: :ttk again. 1He turned his eye, )"ard the cairriage, expecting il drive ofi ntrin; but it stili stoot icre. The coachmianm sat UPM) io box like a furrv monument ne (f tic horses Struck the stonc. arply with his iron hoof, an( ist an inqoiring lok around ut the rloniumnient sat unmoved. Toni's heavy eyes lookC irough the open door intO th( irriage. Dark as it was lhe cO1iC :e that it was lined with some iing thick and warm. le raise( is head and glanced about him he were inside there the winc )uld not touch him. Oh, if l uld only get away from it on( inute I lie would slip o-l rain the moment the house-dooi ,uld open. Uribending his still .tle body lie crept nearer, hesi ing a morient., and as the ind camrie round the corner with roar, slipped swiftly and noiie ssly into the carriage. In the rther corier of the seat be curl. I himself into a little round heap id lay, with beating heart, lis hing to the wind as it swept It was very quiet in his nest, d the soft velvet was much armer than the cold flagstones, id he was very tired and very Id, and in half a minute be was at asleep. He did riot know hen at last the house-door open and a lady, gathering her >ak close around hier, came wn the steps-did not know en when she suddenly-anima. d monument descended from pedestal and stood solemn. by the open door until the ly had stepped inside. But hen it shut with a slam, and e coachman, returning to his st drove rapidly away, his eyes uend and fixed their frightened ze upon the lady's face. Prooe pied with her own thoughts e had not noticed the queer ndle in the dark corner. But w, her attention attracted by me slight movement on his part, e tur.ned her eyes slowly to' ard him, and then, with a sup. -essed cry of alarm and surprise, id er hand upon the door. The 'le of wheels and the roar of e wind prevented it reaching e ears of the coachman ;and >m, rapidly unwinding himself d cowering down in the bottom the carriage, said, in a fright. ed sob: 'I didn't mean no harm. 1 was finl cold. Say, just open the ir, miss, and I'll jump out. You :edn't stop the kerridge.' The lady, with her hand still orr e door, demanded: 'How did you get here !' 'The door was open and 1 clum,' >answered. 'It was awful d.' The lady took her hand from e door. 'Como nearer,' she id, 'let mo see your face.' Tom drew his ragged sleeve ross his eyes and looked up at r over his shoulder. They had rned into a brilliantly-lighted reet, and she could see that the .ngled yellow hair was soft, and ie, and that the big frightened es that raised tlremselves to ars were not pickpocket's eyes, rih a sudden impulse she laid 3r' gloved hand on the yellow aad. 'Where do you live ?' she asked. Something in the voice and mech gave him courage. 'WithMammy Sal,' he ans wered, .raightening up-'me and~ som ber fellows. Sometimes wr ogs, somnetimues we take the har' ,s. When we get a haul it arin'i ibad, but when we don t n< etch it. She's drunk to-nigb rid drove us out.' She pushed the heavy hair bacd om his forehead. 'Is Mamma a your mother ?' she asked. 'No!' cried the boy, almos erely, and then added, sullenly ain't got none.' Slowly the gloved hand passe ack anad for'th over tbe yello~ ..i.. The l,ady' ee wore loo ingfr ay ; the boy's face was like, so straugely like, another face. 'Are vou Lungry ?' she asked, suddenly. The wide-open gray eyes would have answered her without the quick sob and the iow 'Yes'm.' The carriage stopped, and the mionumnit again aUccomplishing I a descent, opened the door, and stood staring in blank amaze ie nt. 1 -1 am not (oii , John,' said his inistress. 'Drive home again. And she added, smiling: 'This littlV boy crept in out of the cold while the carriage was waiting. I ain going to take him home. Drive back as quickly as possi ble.' As the bewildered coachman shut the door and turned to his pcich the boy made a spring for ward. 'Lenme out!' he criod. 'I don't want to go home. Lemme out!' 'Not your home,' said the lady, geitly-'mOy home. Tom stared at her in wonder, and too much overcome by the announcement to resist let her lift him up on the seat beside her. '31y home,' she repeated, 'where yon can get very warm, and have a good dinner, and a long. long sleep, on a soft bed. Will you like that?' Tom drew a long, slow breath, but did not answer. It was too wonderful! fle-one of' Mamnv Sal's boys-to go to the lady's i house where the children lived whom he had seen go in that even ing! lie looked up suddenly. 'Were those children yourn ?' he asked. With a sudden movement she drew him i cry close to her, and then answered softly : 'No, not mine. I bad a little boy once, like you, and be died.' When the carriage stopped again Toni was fast asleep-so fast asleep that the still bewildered coachman carried him into the house and laid him on a bed with out waking him. The next morn ing when the boy's eyes opened, lie lay looking about him, hard ly daring to' speak or move. I don't believe be had ever heard anything about the fairies, or he would certainly have thought himself in fairyland. Best of all, the lady of the nigzht before was standing by the bed smiling at him, and, smiling back, he held out his ar-ms to her. 1 wish you could have seen him a little later, when arrayed in jacket and trousers that made him think with disdain of certain arti cles of the same description which he had but yesterday gazed at lovingly as they dangled before a little table by the sunny window taking a short, a very short, preliminary view of' a gigantic beefsteak still indignantly sputter ing to itself ; a mountain o'f smok ing potatoes, an imposing ar-ray of snrowy r-oIls and golden butter, and a pitcher of' creamy milk. And I wish too, you could have seen the same table still later, for thle table was about all that was left. That was the first time that I ever saw Tom. Since then I have 8een him very often. And now I will tell you, only I am afraid you would hardly believe me, about the last time, and that was not very long ago. I was riding along one of the prettiest country roads you ever saw, and when I came to a certauin gate my horse, without waiting for a sign from me, tur-nsd in. As we drew near the house I caught sight of two figures standing among the flower's. One was a handsome old lady with white hair, the other a young man. She was armed with an immeuse pair of' shears, and he beidl in his hand his hat filled to the brim with flowers. Thle sunlight, eeping down thr-ough thre tr'ees, fell upjon his close-cropped hair anid yellow beard. As I dr-ew in my' horse and s-at watching thoem, it all senied to me like a fairy story. .But it wasn't ;for the tall, hand sonmc looking down with such pro , tecting-tenderiness upon the white haired old lady was really Tom -poor, little, thin, cold, hungry A WARI EPISODE. How Some of the Boys Thawed a Hornet's Nest Kansa. City Times. There ii an old woman living on Catherine street who delights to find a vase that al! the doctors have failed to cure and then gro to work with roots and herbs and stuange things aud try to effect at least an improvcment. A few days ago she got hold of a girl with a stiff neck, and she offered an old negro, named Uncle Torn Kelly, fifty cents to go to the woods and bri:- her a hornet's nest. This was to be steeped in vinegar and appljied to the neck. The old man spent several days along the If olden road, and finally he secured his prize and broughti it bome in a basket. When he reached the Central Market he had a few little purchases to make, and after getting some tea at a grocery lie placed his basket on a barrel near the store and went out to look up a beef-bone. It w:ts a dull day for a trade. The g;-ocer sat by the :-tove rub biiig his b:ld head. His ('crk stood at his dI-.k balaicin g his accounts, and tbree or ftur men lounging around talking of a new party to be founded on fhe ruins of the Democracy. It was a se-. rene hour. One hundred and fifty hornets bad gone to roost in that nest for the winter. The genial atmosphere began to limber them up. One old veteran opened his eyes, rubbed his legs and said that it was the shortest winter be had known in ah his hornet days. A second seconded the motion and shook off his lethargy, and in five minutes the whole nest was alive and its owners were ready to sail out and investigate. You don't have to hit a bornet with the broadside of' an axe to make him mad. He's mad all over all the time, and be doesn't care a pica yune whether lie tackles a hum ming bird or an elephant. The grocer was telling one of the men that he and Gen. Urant were boys together, when he gave a sudden start of surprise. This was followed by several other starts. Then he jumped o_Ier a barrel of sugar and yelled like a Pawnee. Some emiled, thinking he was after a happy climax, but it. us only a minute befor-e a sol emn old farmer jumped three feet high and came down to roll over a job lot of' wash boards. Then the clerk ducked his head and made a rush for the door. He didn't get there. One of the other men, abo had been looking up and down to see what could be the matter, felt suddenly called upon to go home. lie was going at the rate of forty miles an hour when he collided with the clerk and they rolled on the fioor. There was no use to tell the people in that store to move on. They couldn't tarry to save them. They all felt that the rent wias too bigh, and that they must vacate the premises. A yell over the cheese-box was answered by a war-whoop from the show case. A howl from the kerosene barrel near the back door was answered by wild gestures from tbe win dow. The cron'd went out together. 'Uncle Tom was just coming in with his beef.bone. WVhen a large I body meets a smaller- body the larger body knocks it into the middle of' next week. The old man laid around in the slush till everybody had stepped on him all they wan ted to, and then he sat up and asked: 'Rev dey got de flab all put out?' Some of the hornets sailed out of doors to fall by the wayside, and othei's waited around on the top er' barrels a:nd baskets an d jars to be slaughtered, It was half an hour before the last was disposed of, and then U~ncle Tom walked in, picked up the nest and said: 'Mebbe dis will cure de stiffness in dat gal's neck, jist the same.I but I tell you l'ze got banged and bumped and sot down on till it'll take a hull medical college ter1 put me squar.'

Unwilling ,o retreat further, and not having chance or the courags to slip in pitiful 'boo' you stand and take L like a hitched horse in a hail tLorm. When the wrath of feminine is iearly expended, you pluck up ;ourage and are down ov her with argument, reasoning and repri nand ; but is all this going to nake her turn tail? not a bit of t. Having wasted her thunder md lightning, she begins to rain be knows what -effect that will lave. With impetuous showers he drenches the furious fire that >urns in your bosom. and a fresh iess to every bud or blossom of eeling. Then you begin to give n-she begins to clear off-her ky grows brighter, she goes to he expense of a smile, her whole iori2on, landscape and ladyscape, ook charming, gay and serene, mnd you'ean't help giving her a :ids, and acknowledge being beat. So you see, my friends, that 'be vomen are bound to get the bet er of us. In them you. behold he wild eat, lamb and dove. If hey can accowuphsh uothing by etting loose their untamed feline >ropensities, they give the juve ile sheep for a trial; and if that ails they rely upon the loviug love. With one of the three, they eldonm or never fati! to effect their )urpose. They are called the weaker sex, Jut with, that propriety it. is hard or me to imnagine, for I know hat many oJf them are strong mrongh to lift a keg of beer and Irink out of the tap. They can Iraw live horses. They draw us ,o church-they draw us to ,e theatre-draw us from our >usiuess-draw us into trouble Lnd draw us out of trouble-and Iraw uis to-we!l, any where. P's .uD Q's-In alehouses, in Lucient times chalk ~scores' were narked upon the wall, or behind he door of the tap-room. It was ~ustomary to put the initials 'P mnd 'Q' at the head of every man's tecount to show the number ofl >ints and quarts for which he wvs n arrears. When a person was ndulging too freely in his poma ions a friend would exclaim, Jointing~ to the chalk score, 'Mind ,our PFs and Q's.' .In this way riginated the old saying. When crime weighs heavily we bhrow it, at hazard, upon other ceads; and when the truth gives t back again and we are comn pelled to keepi it, we then reclaim t and try to make it a fit subject or pride. This is the last subter uige of cornscenece-the last evo t i(on of erime.
