WHEN BOB'S AWAY AT SCHOOL. Ah. deer delightful oeason, all Too rare and far too brief 1 Street time when silence soft doth fall As falls the floating leaf 1 'Tis ushered in with slam of gate And out with flying stool. And quietude doth rule in state When Dob's away at school. fpon the porch the tabby cat With blinking eyes doth doss. In tranquil dreams forgetting that Her life's a round ol woes. And Towser, stretched upon the grass. In visions of the pool. Forgets to bark at feet which pass While Dob's away at school. What blessed charm enfolds the house Throughout thst season rare I Each buzzing fly,and cheeping moues Sleeps sound within its lair. The elms besidejthe garden gats, ? So freshly green snd cool'. Scarce stir their j giant limbs sedate When Bob's away at school. Hut all too Boon-it fades away. , "Hi, Towscrl jSlc her, sirl" Pu?s leaps the fence, a dash of gray, Towser just a yellow blur! Dang! goes the door. In runs the iadl I And yet the chap's a fool Who'd not be just a little glad When Urb conies homo from school I ?Richard btillrnan Powell in Puck.

We had always been such friends, tli'1 child and I. s ho was propped up in bed with pil lows, and her pretty face was palo and drawn, but she smiled when she saw me. I took her wasted band In mine and kissed her cheek. 1 was sure you would come," she said in a faint, pleased voice. "Of course," ? answered; "of course, my dear child." She was only 14. There Is no quarrel between you and me." We had remained good friends when the rest of the family cut me dead. "We never have quarreled," she said, holding my hand tightly. "There is not much time to quarrel now. You won't, will you, Fred?" T shook my head. A lump in my throat- kept me from speaking. "Promise mo before I tell you?something." "My poor little Malsie!" I cried bro kenly. "I promise." She had been a pet of mine from the days when she was a toddling baby and I a big, awk ward boy. "It is very secret," 8he stated in a slow, faroff voice. "My dear, it is only for Fred." Her mother shook up the pillows and left us alone, but Malsie seemed unable to make up her mind to _,-t - Dpvua. "You know I would do anything for you, little girl," I said soothingly. Her eyes brightened, and ehe nodded, but the smile died gradually away. "Turn me .over a little," she entreat ed, "and pull the corner of the pillow over my face. I can't tell you If you look at me." So I turned her very gen tly, but she still said nothing. "Well, May?" I asked. "You used to be fond of me?" "I am fond of you. I snail never have any one to replace you, dear." "Suppose I had done something dreddful?something that hurt your" "I should know that you could not help It." "Something mean?" Her voice al most broke. "You couldn't" "Ah, but suppose I had?" "Then," I said firmly, "I should know it was just a slip, like we all make like I make sometimes. I should not blame you, little one." I stroked her long, silky hair and thought how I should miss her. I had never fully realized before how very fond I was of my fanciful little friend. "Win you promise to forgive me, dear Fred?" she asked pleadingly. "If there Is anything to forgive.*' "There is." "Then, whatever It is, I forgive you. So you need not tell me now.** "I must,*' she said resolutely. "It is about you and Lucy?when yob quar reled." She stopped abruptly. "Yes?' Lucy was her elder sister. We had been engaged. "You wrote her an explanation?a satisfactory explanation.*' , "Apparently she did not think so. 8he never answered tho letter that I gave you to deliver.*' "She never had it," said Malsie, with a sob. "Malsie!" "i-l kept it" She buried her face u the pillow. I was too astcalsfesd .words, but I kept stroking heraeJr. "I read It first Then I burned 5t" "But?whyr "Because I was a coward,*' she sob bed?"because I?oh, Fred, forgive mo! Don't despise mo mote than yon can Jelp." a light flashed into my mind. 1 bent over her and kissed her cheek. "My Httie Malstel*' I said tenderly. 'My poor, loving, little girl! You cared ?o much as that for met" "I thought perhaps, if yon didn't marry Lucy, &nd we were good friends, and I grew up?oh. Fred, I shan't grow up now!" I put my arms round her and held her close to me. "If yon get well, May," I eald, "ani l srow np, i shall Ilk? yon better than ' w.vbody." Sho laughed faintly. ?I heUeve I always did." I wiped her eyes. "I shan't" aha eald. "So-yon will uke her ?fais, now. woa't yont" ! I hesitated. My affection for Lucy died a natural death, it had never ]*en very deep. Neither, I fancied, AMbei? tor mo, doss," eaM Ma!sle, *Has she told you sol" Tea.* 1 frowned. "Yon have not told her ~*bout the letter *' She shook her need. "Then I never win. It la use less ycur asking mo to do so." I do not ask you to. I am not brave enough." She buried her face. MI **nt them to think well of tne." she ^ed plteously, "when?when I"? "Oh, Meiste, don't!" Tho tears were m my eye*. "But yon will be good to her? You will make it up?won't you? . You need ?ot tell her about me?only say that you are sorry ana wuai iu ue inc?i?o. Then you can be engaged again, and ?and?some day"? Her Hps quiver ed. "Marry her?" She nodded. "But It I no longer care for her? If I know that I cau never love her as I could love? My dear little playfellow and friend, I am not half so fond of Lucy au I am of you." "Ahr' She looked at me with big; deep eyes. "I am only a child. There are different kinds of fondness, dear Fred." The wistful affection in the child's face touched me to the heart, and I kissed her frail hands. "Get better, little one, and see," I j Bald brokenly. Then we sat In si lence for a long time, holding hands. "I am getting sleepy, Fred," she murmured. "Kiss me." I kissed her several times, aud she went smilingly to sleep, with her cheek ngainst my arm and her hand in my hand. Mrs. Dormer came lu, but I sat motionless for an hour, till the child's grasp re laxed, and I could draw myself away without waking her. "I shall come tomorrow morning," I whispered. Her mother nodded con strainedly, and I went out on tiptoe. Lucy met mo at tho bottom of the stairs. "I have something to toll you,"'she said, "If 3'ou will spare me a min ute." I bowed and followed her Into the empty diulng room. She sank into an armchair by the fireside, and I stood by the mantelpiece, looking down updn her. It seemed strange to be so near to her and so Indifferent to the fact. For one thiug was clear to me? that If I had every really loved Lucy Dormer, I loved her no longer. We were quite unsuited to one another, and if 1 married her It would merely be a useless sacrifice of two lives. "I treated you badly," she said ab ruptly. I raised my eyebrows. After Maisie's confessiou there seemed no reason for the admission. "There were things," I said, "that needed explanation." "Some things are beyond explana tion." "Perhaps they are better left so." "Qne can ask forgiveness." There was a faint note of entreaty In her voice. I fidgeted impatiently with a little ornament on the mantelshelf. If I asked for forgiveness she would give more. "If one desires forgiveness," I said, at length. It sounded brutal, but It might avoid worse things. "Oh!" she cried, "I do." "You!" I said with astonishment "You! What have I to forgive you?" She toyed with her handkerchief. "I thought Maisle would tell you. The child was always so fond of you." So she knew. "Maisle has told me," I said gravely. "Lucy, It Is right to be frank. I have discovered that my little playfellow, child as she is, has the best love that I can ever give to any one." She look ed at me !n surprise. Theu she laugh ed scornfully. "I see," ehe' said. "You want an ex cuse. You might Invent one without taking my poor little sister's name in vain." "It Is no excuse," I said firmly. We looked at one another for a minute in silence. "Then," she said, "I did not hurt yon. I am glad." She stamped her foot passionately. "No, no, I am not I am sorry?sorry, do yon hear?" I shrugged my shoulders. "There Is no more to say?" I sug gested. "No more to say," she echoed faintly. I walked to the door. "Fred!" she cried abruptly. "I must say it Listen to me If you will not forgive.1' "Forgivel" I asked. "What have I to forgive?" She looked at me In ap parent bewilderment "Do yon not know that I never told my people of-your explanation; that I let nil the blame rest on yon?" "My letter!" I cried. "My letterl" "The letter you sent to Maisle?" "She gave it to you?" "Of course she gave It to me," said Lucy, opening her eyes wide. "Why j not?" I ought to have known. My brave little girl! "Maisle told me that aha never gave yon tho letter, Lucy; that all tho blame was ben." I walked to the window and looked ont for a time in silence, 1 broken by Lucy's sobs. "She told you?that?Just to?screen me," she said brokenly. "Yes." I could not say more for the moment Presently I walked back to the fire. "God bless her I" I said softly. "Let us say no more about it Lucy, and be friends for her sake." Lucy wiped her eyes-and looked Into the fire. Then she spoke with her eyes averted from me. ''When we quarreled, it was only what I bad for some time intended." "Your reason?" I asked mechanical ly. I did not really care. "Some one else was a better match. I?I did not like Jum so well." I bow ad. It was Immaterial. "I knew that my people would disapprove of. my breaking onr engagement for this rea son. They were fond of yon." "I was fond of them." Their behav ior had hurt- and surprised me. In the letter I bad particularly asked Lucy to show them my explanation, whether ehe accepted it or not "Consequently I was glad, or thought I was, when I beard something, about j&? v. h'?h gave me an excuse to qunr MS It ." iVi. "It was fatso, as I told yon in the tetter." "Aa you told me in the letter. There fore I did not answer the letter or tell my parents, bat let the blame rest on you." She shivered. "Do not trouble about it any more," I amid, not unkindly. "The bitterness is brer now." "Yes," she said, "it la over. I re fused htm after all. Yon do not ask sm way. remap* yon do not wish to knew?" K shook my head. ?I?3ono*w!ahtokno^." She nodded to the firo. "But I fforgivo yon, Lccy." She nodded egale There wan nothtag more to say, since I could not say what she wished. So I turned to go. But there wie ft knock et the front door and [ heard some one say "The doctor.* So I waited to r?r what be pro aonnced. ''After a few minutes he came down the stairs talking to Mrs; Dormer. "It la a natural sleep," he said. "The pulse la steadier and the temperature noro normal. The odds are still igelnst her, but there la hope." The. tears came to ? my eyes at last mid tiUcy came nua put uer nauu ou my shoulder. "You v a win her back to life, Fred," she said, "our little girl. Stay till she wakes." I bad already resolved to * stay. 1 I went up stairs and sat with my el- 1 bow on her bed and my face on my \ baud, watching my little favorite, t Presently her mother came and knelt j beside me. , "Lucy has told me all, Fred," sho whispered. "You?you will not tell tho ] others?" "I will not," I promised. 1 When my little girl awoke she was J not looking toward me. ] "Better, dear?" asked her mother. "Why, yes," she laughed feebly. "It \ must bo Fred. Do you know, I believe i he would make me grow well if he 1 were often hero with me." < ' "He will be, little sweetheart." I said ! softly. She turned to me with a happy ; cry and I whispered lu her ear what I j knew and other things that were only | for her and me. They were tho thiugs that wou her back to life, sho says, when we talk of such matters. We do not talk of them very often, for Malsie Is young aud shy and still at school. But her people understand and leave us nloue together, aud now and/then our thoughts peep out. I re member that they did so upon the night of Lucy's wedding, for she mar ried the "better match," after all. , Malsie came to see me out, of course, and helped me into my coat aud tried laughingly to shake me, and I put my arm around her aud kissed her several times, instead of tho usual once, and not quite In the usual brotherly way. "There will be another wedding one day," I said. "Won't there, little sweet heart?" She buried her head on my shoulder and whispered "I hope so." Meanwhile people speak of me as a confirmed bachelor, und laugh when I tell them that I am waiting for "Miss Bight" to grow. But "Miss Bight" Is 10 uow, and done growing, and wears her hair up and her dresses long and our good nights are steadily growing lengthier and less fraternal. Dear little Malsie!?Chicago Herald. Hot? Field Apologized. While In a peculiar mood one day tho late Stephen J. Field severely repri manded Page Henry McCall for an of fense of which the page was innocent But the member of the highest court In the land, could not be persuaded that his course was not the correct one. McCall left humiliated, but he was a little gentleman and held his peace. Later In the day Justice Field sent for McCall. "Come to my house at 7 o'clock this evening," was all he said. With mingled feelings of doubt and despair the page called at the Field residence at the time specified, was ushered into the jurist's library and told to hold the books which Mr. Field began, without explanation or cere mony, to take from the shelves. When the veteran lawyer had pulled about 15 volumes in to Page McCall's arms, he gruffly remarked: i "Henry, I'm very sorry for the way I treated you today. I realize that my conduct was unwarranted, and I beg your pardon. Here are some choice books. Keep them as a nucleus for your library. Keep them, young man, and?keep your temper, too, whatever you do! Good night!"?Exchange. A Tart Response. A certain doctor had occasion, when only a beginner In the medical profes sion, to attend a trial as a witness. The opposing counsel. In cross examining the joung physician, made several aar* caatio remarks, doubting the ability of so young a man to understand his busi ness. Finally he asked, "Do yon know the symptoms of concussion of the brain ?" "I do," replied the doctor. "Well," continued the attorney, "sup pose my learned friend, Mr. Bag bag, and myself were to hang our heads to gether-fthould we get concussion of the bra?fr ? 1'Your learned friend, Mr. Baglng, might" said the doctor.

Boston, Aur. 18.?Franklin J. Moses, it one time governor of South Caro ina and also a former speaker of the louse of Representatives of that State, vas arrested here to-day charged with he larceny of $5 from John Hardy, a 3oqton business man. Mr. Moses has jeen living in Winthrop and for a time conducting a weekly newspaper at Severe. It is alleged that after dis posing of his interest in the paper, he continued to solicit advertisements for t, and Mr. Hardy's complaint was en ured as a result of an alleged payment nade to Mr. Moses of $5 for an adver tisement which did not appear. Moses Evas brought to the attention of the Boston police in 1885, when ho was irrcated on the charge of obtaining money by false pretenses from the late Frederick Ames, Col. Thomas Went worth lliggiuson and others. He was then found guilty and was sent to tho State prison for three years. "Lopes Too Bloomin 'Igh." "Most Englishmen are considered pretty fair horsemen; but when it pomes to riding a bucking broncho I some of them are not in or on it for j long," said the owuer of a large cattle ranch in Wyoming to the writer the other day. "For instance, a rich young Englishman recently came out to my part of the country in quest of some good investment. He was at my ranch as a guest l'or a few days, and one afternoon, as the cowboyB were about to round up a bunch of cow ponies, the young mau said that he would enjoy a good ride in the saddle. He said he was used to riding only thoroughbreds, and he didu't think we had a horse good enough for him. The boys convinced him that they had oue of the finest horses on the plains, and if he knew how to ride he was welcome to the animal. He was apparently insulted when questioned about his ability to ride, and answered that he could ride any kind of a horse. A sleepy looking broncho was accord ingly brought out from the corral and saddled. Though the beast appeared half dead, he was the worst bucker in the herd. " lE's lifeless,' said the foreigner when the pony was brought to him. The boys said the nag would wake up after the first mile, aud milord got into the saddle. The first buck jump placed him on the horses neok, and after the second he was in the atmosphere. He turned a double somersault and land ed on the sharp end of a cactus plant. When he picked himself up, one of the boys asked what he thought of the thoroughbred now. The question made the Englishman turn pale. " 1 'E's a good 'o9s,' he answered, 'but he lopes too bloomin 'igh.' "? Washington Star. -??m - Quicksands Hidden Under Clay. Carious but dangerous freaks of na ture frequently found in the deserts of Arizona are called sumideros by tho Mexicans and Indiana. Th?y are masked pitfalls of quicksand that oc cur in the dry plains and are covered with a treaoherous crust of clay that has been spread over them in fine par ticles by the wind and baked dry by the sun. The peculiar properties of the soil tetain all the moiBture drained into them after the infrequent rains and allow it to be filtered to unknown depths, so that a man or a horse or a oc w or a sheep that onoe steps upon to fit deceptive crust instantly sinks ouv of sight beyond hope of rescue* The sumideros are on a level with the Burfaoe of the desert. There is no danger signal to mark them, and their surface cannot be distinguished by the ordinary eye from the hard clay that surrounds them. They occur most frequehtly in the alkali covered Bats and are often 15 or 20 feet in diameter. Sometimes they are only little pockets or wells that a man oan leap across, but the longest pole has over fonnd their botton. A stone thrown through the orust sinks to un known depths, and no man who ever Tell into one of them was rescued. They account for the mysterous dis appearance of many men and cattle.?
