Beneath the raftcre, black and bare,
The ancient spinet stands;
The spiders o’er it* yellow keys
Have stretched their filmy strands;
Around its weak and totterirg frame
The airy cobwebs blow,
In lieu of silken tapestries
That molded long ago.
But wimly nights a quaint old tune
Comes stealing down the stair,
For then she wakes the keys aga, ! n—
A ghost with powdered hair.
The mice go dancing in and out
To melodies she sung
When fashion trod the minuet
•And Washington was young.
Around her on the garret floor
Her shining satins trail;
A haunting sorrow dims her eyes;
Her face is proud and pale.
But when I climb the creaking stair
The gusty moonlight falls
On nothing hut the withered herb.
That hang against the walls. *
And yet the spinet trembles still
To that forgotten tune,
The ash.'S of a crumbled rose
Fpon the keys arc strewn,
And yonder chest below I he cave.
Her gown of satin holds.
With sprigs of broken lavender
Between its faded folds.

A Bit of Eavesdroppiafr
That Led to tho Rig-ht-
’ ing of a Great Wrong. \
♦
By George Lincoln. £
The judge fell into the way of watch
ing them naturally euougb. After the
court adjourned in the early afternoon
he always took a ride on hi.s bicycle
and never failed to visit the beautiful,
stretch of boulevard recently opened
along the string of lakes.
They both came of good families, or
at least well to do families, and their
manner led him to think there was
breeding behind them. How, then, did
he come to know that they loved each
other? you ask. How was it possible
not to know it? He was not always
past 50, and he had a good memory.
So when the Judge noticed the way
“he” looked at “her” and the way
“she” looked at “him” and the tender
ness of the young man’s courtesy the
judge knew well enough how matters
wore.
She was a beautiful woman, not over
20, and gave one an Impression of trig-
ness and neatness. A woman would
say she wore a becoming suit that lil
ted her. She was petite, with one of
those fresh, sparkling faces so seldom
seen among overworked society girls.
He was a manly chap of 22, athletic,
bronzed and thoroughly “tit,” as my
nephew says. My nephew plays on the
“varsity” football team and Is author
ity in our family on such matters.
And they noticed the judge. After
awhile he got into the way of bowing
to them, although they didn’t know he
was Judge Storrow, and he didn’t
know them.
One dreamy Indian summer after
noon the judge went up among the
trees on the side of the lake to a shel
tered nook he knew and lay down to
rest. There had been a puzzling case
before him that morning and while
thinking it over he must have fallen
asleep.
He was suddenly aware that just
outside his shelter a man and woman
were talking. He knew not what to do.
lie soon discovered that they were
“his lovers,” as he called them, and
they were discussing some unhappy
circumstance regarding their affection.
What could he do? There was no
way out except past them. Would It
be better to come out and so let them
know he had heard their talk, or would
it not be more delicate to remain till
they had gone, not listening, and they
would never know any one had over
heard them? He decided on the latter
alternative and remained perfectly
quiet.
Hut, try ns he would, it was impossi
ble not to hear their whole conversa
tion.
‘‘Hut what difference does that
make?” asked the young man. “You
know perfectly well, Alice, that if it
were a thousand times worse—that if
It were yon yourself—I would marry
you.”
“Oh, but think of it, Ned! Think
what your friends would say! ’Ned
Grant married the daughter of an em
bezzler serving his time in jail.’ ”
The judge couldn’t help wondering
If this were the son of Grant 9n the
supreme bench, whom he had never
met, although he knew his father inti
mately. The girl’s gentle voice broke
as she said this, and Ned cried:
“Oh, Alice, I wish you wouldn’t think
of that! It just breaks me up to see
you cry. you know."
Then followed a silence during which
Alice must have been In some way
comforted, for she said In a steady
voice:
"No. my dear boy. I have been very
weak to see you so often and have
(hese rides. I should have refused and
tried to forget you. But, Ned. 1 could
not. I can’t think of anything but you
-■and—1 do love you so!”
More silence, then:
“And, Ned, this really must be the
last. I can’t marry you. No. dear,
please don’t go all over It again. I
know that it would be a great wrong
to you to say yes. It would always he
a hindrance to you. We would have
no friends, and a young lawyer must
have friends. Who would come to
your house If they knew your wife was
the daughter of Rand the embezzler?"
That was where the Judge almost
discovered himself. He sentenced Rand
to 20 years’ hard labor, and he had
still 15 years to serve. It was a queer
case and not quite clear. So this was
the motherless girl he had heard so
much about.
"Now, hoc here. Alice.” the young
mail said, "you know it takes two to
make a quarrel, and It takes two to
make u separation. Ho while you may
think It host not to see me again I
shall not give you up, and I shall see
you every opportunity I can so long
ps R doesn't bother you. Had knows
all about It. am) |«p’h with me."
The Judge wanted to shout "Good
for dad," hut he didn't.
Then they got up to go, and after
mother longer silence they left him
alone. He knew all about the trouble,
and pretty mean he felt about It too.
As lit* rode slowly home he turned
the little tragedy qyer and over lu bis
ptiud, urn) Hit* mm* Ire Uioujjht gboyt
tVflie more he felt that lie had made
a mistake by staying ami listening.
At last he evolved a plan calculated to
ease his own conscience and give the
young man Some courage. So the judge
seut him this letter:
Mr. I <l«\in (irani —I I141I ttie misfortune to over
rent part oi vonr ooiivcr ution will' Miss Itarnl to-
din, althoiigcli in quite an accidental manner. It,
m I Kunnisc, arc the son of Grant of the su
prenie, von are made ot the iii?lit sort of stuff to
let-aid Mi— Band's views as only a temporary ob
stacle to yoor Inippines-. I sentenced Band, and
it you care to call on me I should be glad to see
iou. I’erbaps we may think of some arguments
to make Mi;* Rand look at the case differently.
At any lute. I agree with his honor, your father,
ami am also “with you.” Vours,
Robert Storrow.
The next day Die judge was obliged
.0 go to :t distant city to act as referee
In a cast*.
The Rand case was almost purely a
circumstantial one and hung on the
handwriting in which the false entries
had been made in the hooks. The
handwriting experts all agreed that
the entries had been made by Hand.
Indeed the prisoner admitted as much.
He had pleaded “not guilty,” and
when he fdmitted the identity of the
handwriting there was little left to do
for him. His counsel was completely
battled by the admission, and Rand re
fused to explain it in any way. Try
as he would the lawyer could elicit
nothing 1'irther, and the jury had to
bring in « verdict of guilty.
It could never be found how Hand
had disposed of the sum he embezzled.
In fact, not a penny of the missing
money was ever found, and the hank
charged it to profit and loss.
Hooper, the president of the bank,
was in constant attendance at the trial
and expressed great sorrow for Rand.
Shortly after the sentence Hooper left
the hank and went to another city,
where he engaged in a private banking
and brokerage business. It was in
this city that Judge Storrow was now
sitting.
One night at the club the conversa
tion drifted round to 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 some one suggested Hooper’s
house as the best place to get It.
“Ry the way,” said his adviser, “you
sentenced the cashier of the bank of
which Hooper used to be president,
didn’t you?” The judge said he did.
“Well,” continued the man, “that’s
tho way some men treat those who
have been kind to them. My wife
grew up In the village where Hooper
and Rand were hoys together. Rand
was not in very good circumstances,
while Hooper had plenty of money.
At that time Hooper was quietly buy
ing up a great deal of land through
which he knew a railroad was project
ed. He let Hand in on the ground floor,
lent him money and then, when they
realized, collected Rand’s notes, and in
this way they both made money, and
Rand’s share was a moderate fortune
to a man in his circumstances. It was
not many years before Rand had lost
his money In foolish investments. Then
Hooper got him the position of cashier
in the bank where he was president.
It seems pretty tough for Rand to have
stolen all that money. The directors
asked Hooper for his resignation, of
course, and lie was obliged to come
here and start fresh.”
Now, tliis was a part of the story
that the judge had never heard be
fore. it little agreed with his personal
Impressions, which, of course, had
nothing to do with the “law and evi
dence.” He had an idea that Rand
was not that sort of man, and, curi
ously enough, lie had acquired an an
tipathy for Hooper.
That night he woke thinking of the
case. Gradually he found himself
forced to a conclusion for which there
was little reason—he somehow thought
that Hooper was the guilty man and
Rnnd the innocent. He had known a
few similar cases of quixotic gratitude.
The next day he called at the bank
ing house of Hooper & Co. As lie was
leaving he met Hooper face to face.
The man went white and staggered
against the door jamb as if be bad
been struck.
“Why—how d’ye do? Why—I didn’t
expect to see you,” he stammered.
“Anything we can do for you?”
The judge looked him square in the
eye and said, “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 Hie clerks came rushing
after him and said Mr. Hooper wanted
him to come back. He found Hooper
striding the floor and mumbling to
himself.
“My God, Judge, do you know?” he
cried.
“1 know you are a scoundrel,” the
Judge replied, surprised out of his self
control.
“I did it, judge; I did It.”
“I know It,” calmly replied the
judge.
“I came to this city because I
couldn’t stand meeting you, and 1 have
never had a happy or an easy moment
since. I’ve lived in constant fear of
apprehension.”
The judge looked at him and could
scarce restrain his contempt and Indig
nation.
Stepping back, he turned the key In
the lock and put It into his pocket
Then he went to the telephone and told
police headquarters who he was* and
asked them to send him an inspector
at the banking office.
“Now,” be said, “before either of ns
loaves this room you are going 4o
write the whole story. You will sign it
in Die presence of witnesses, and inside
of two weeks Rnnd will be a free man.
You wlii be arrested Rt once, but for
two weeks, for my own reasons, you
Will continue to conduct your business,
and a headquarters man will be always
with you. You can explain his pres
ence iji any way that you like. Now,
ait down and write.”
Hooper shrank from the task, but
the Judge Insisted. Wbcq he had flu-
tsfoed and ^vrs ready to sign, there
came a tup at the door, and a strnngef
was usheret] 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 ob
tain funds further than those available
t}mj how he had taken from time to
time, showing Rami fictitious uotes, so
that Hand had every reason to sup
pose the bank was making loans. In
short, he had made the entries In per
fect good faith, and then when the
stealing was made known he had kept
■lleut, remembering all the benefits
received, it was of course » question-

W. B. Holmes, of Charleston, has
made a remarkable find—the body
of a man dead for several years. He
has made inquiry at the governor’s
office thus: “If a body, buried some
years ago. is washed up by the tides
and on that body is found the sum of
$160, does this money belong to the
parties to whom the land belongs
where found, or does it belong to the
state? If to the state, does the state
give a reward for information leading
to the recovery of such find!” The
governor told him to report lo the
coroner.
There is no less than $10 000
worth of building going up in Gaffney
just now. and ail of that is in resi
dences. There are six pretty and
convenient homes being erected in
the fifth and sixth wards.
Tils fninlly lint thciv was no ilnuhting
the nobility ot tin* mnn's character.
Thai niglii tin* judge started for
home, having dispostsl of the case.
There the next day he laid Ihe confes
sion before the governor anti his law
yer. who took tin* preliminary steps to
release Rand.
That evening Ned Grant called, say
lug he had failed to llntl the Judge at
home on previous evenings, lit* knew
enough of law to appreciate Home
things the ,fi due told him
“Now,” said the judge, “this tangle
can he straightened out. You bring
Alice here two weeks from tonight, and
I'll try to change her \lews."
Ai last the night tame. The Judge
was decidedly nervous. Tho hell rang,
and in came Ned and Alice. He had
told her about the judge, and she
blushed prettily when lie was intro
Uuced.
After lie had explained at some ;
leugtli that his eavesdropping was
quite accidental lio* began to argue
again with her on the matter. She
took the same high ground as before -
that it was doing Ned a wrong. And
she had a pretty good case too. At
last lie said:
“So there is no way of turning you?
You would marry if your father were
not iu prison for embezzlement?”
She nodded, anti the judge silently
handed her a long typewritten docu
ment. It was Die witnessed confes
sion. Rand had been living quietly
with the judge for the last few days
and knew the whole story.
Ned stood near carefully watching
her, and as the door opened noiseless
ly lie saw John Rand waiting for his
daughter to look up and see him.
She read it through without looking
up. Theu as she lay back in the chair
she caught his eye and ran to him with
a cry of “Father! Father!”
Hooper is still serving his time.—

Nerves Need Fuel
To feed the vital fires or they lose the power to regulate and
control the body. Unnatural stimulants won’t do. Like an air
blast on dying embers they cause a sudden flash of heat—then
all is dead. Give the nerves plenty of fuel, and the worry and
fretting, the headaches, the nervousness, loss of sleep, deranged
digestion, neuralgia, rheumatism and heart troubles, that burn up
the brain substance and destroy the nerve-force, will disappear
forever. Don’t wait till the fires are burned out. Begin now.
“I suffered for a number of years from acute nervous
troubles, sleeplessness and distressing pains in my stomach
and bowels. I became badly constipated, had palpitation of
the heart, smothering spells, oppressed feeling in cliest and
darting pains in shoulder and back. I began taking Dr. Miles’
Nervine and Nerve aud Liver Pills and in a short time was
entirely relieved.” Mas. L. E. Dickey, Belfast, Me.
Dr. Miles' Nervine
creates a good appetite, stimulates digestion, quiets nerv
ous irritation, gives refreshing sleep and sends plenty of
fresh bloc j the furnaces of the brain and nerves.
