WORKED BY ONE CROOK.
He Wanted: a Certain Hook, mid He
Got It, Thank* to a Uenevolent La?
dy, and Its Title Proved to Ue Pe?
culiarly Appropriate.
"The reeeut escape from the parish
prisou," said a secondhand bookseller
ou the old side who has almost as
Uiuuy reminiscences as he has vol?
umes, "reminds me of a very curious
case of jail delivery in which I was
au accessory before the fact. I was
never arrested for it, but don't ob?
ject to telling you the story.
"One day iu the summer of 1895 a
good looking, well dressed mau strolled
Into the shop and said he wanted to
got something that would interest his
old mother, whom lie described as very
religious and fond of antique books.
"We picked out a dozen or so togeth?
er, Fox's 'Book of Martyrs,' 'Pilgrim's
Progress,' Mather's 'Sermons of Occa?
sion,' Pusey's 'Daniel the Prophet' and
among others n quaint, massively
bound volume called 'The Friend In
Affliction.' They were all Interesting
old copies, but my caller told me he
would like to submit them to his moth?
er before closing the purchase and of?
fered to leave a $o? bill as security.
"That was agreeable to me, and L'
carried away the lot. Next day he re?
turned and brought back three or four
of the books, among them 'The Friend
In Affliction,' which he remarked laugh?
ingly had given his mother the blues.
The others he paid for, and I have nev?
er seen him again from that day to
this.
'Almost a week after his visit, how?
ever, a thin, prim, precise, elderly lady,
a typical spinster from head to toe,
came in one afternoon and began look?
ing over the shelves. Presently she
ran across the same old 'Friend In Af?
fliction' that had fared so badly in the
other trade, and, much to my gratifi?
cation, she purchased It on the spot.
It was exactly the thing, she said, to
give consolation to an unfortunate per?
son of her acquaintance who was then
in great trouble. I was glad to get rid
of the book and let her have It for a
couple of dollars.
"Fully a month afterward I was
amaxed to receive a visit from a big,
bur'y man, who introduced himself as
a detective, produced 'The Friend In
Affliction' from a valise and asked me
what I knew about It.
"The book had suffered since I saw it
last. One of its thick covers was rip?
ped open, and sticking inside was a
small steel tile. The story the detective
told me was certainly extraordinary.
"It seems that a noted northern crook
had been In jail in a small town up the
country on a charge of bank burglary
and being n very smooth rascal had en?
listed the sympathy of a philanthropic
old lady of the place who had a fad
for prison reform. He persuaded her
that he had thoroughly repented, and
she used to visit him regularly and
bring him tracts and delicacies.
"Among other things he told her that
while broke lu New Orleans he had
sold all of his belongings, includiug a
keepsake from his mother?a volume
called 'The Friend In Alfllctlou.' He
gave her my address as the place
where he had left the precious relic
and worked on ber feelings to such an
extent that she promised to secure the
book for him the first time she visited
the city.
"How she discovered and purchased
It you already kuow. On her return she
carried it straight to the jail, and while
ordinarily all gifts for prisoners were
closely examined, this lady's high char?
acter made such precaution seem un?
necessary and she passed In the volume
without question.
"A few days later the turnkey found
a barred wlutlow ueatly sawed and the
bird flown. He also found 'The Friend
In Affliction' lyiug ou the floor, and In
one of the massive covers were several
saws and the file I have mentioned.
Of course the philanthropic old lady
was immediately questioned, and her
hysterical replies led to the visit of the
detective, but nothing ever came of the
quest. The fugitive Is supposed to have
left on an outbound steamer?at any
rate he was never caught.
"What about my Jlrst customer, did
you tekl Oh, he was undoubtedly the
pal who planted the saws."?New Or?

PAKEPA HOSA'S SONG.
AN EASTER OF UNUSUAL INTEREST
IN HER DISTINGUISHED CAREER.

Beauty, Hove Triumphantly Over

"Myra, this is perfect rest," ex?
claimed Parepa. "Wo shall be quite
alone for four hours."
"Yes, four long hours. There will be
no rehearsals; nobody else knows
where you are."
Parepa laughed merrily at the Idea,
and well she might. At 11 that day
she had sung at one of our large New
York churches, and I had insisted upon
her going home with me. We were
friends in Italy, and so she readily
consented. But by noon the sky was
overcast and gray. Down came the
snow, whitening streets and roofs. We
hurried home and sat close to the lire
for an afternoon's enjoyment.
There was a sharp rap at the door,
and a note was thrust in. It read:
My Dear Friend?Can you come? Annie has
gone. She said you would be sure to come to her
funeral. She spoke of you lo the last. She will
be buried at 4.
"Oh, dear! I must go," said I, "but
you sit by the fire and rest. I'll be at
home In two hours. And so, poc * An?
nie has gone!"
*'Tell me about it, Myra," said Tare
pa, "for I am going with you;" and,
after I had told the story she throw on
her heavy cloak, wound her long, white
woolen scarf about her throat, drew on
her gloves, and we set out together in
the wild Easter storm.
Tbe driving storm made us late, and
we found the hardworking friends sit?
ting stiffly against the walls.
A minister came, brought as a mere
matter of formality by the undertaker.
Icier than the pitiless storm without,
colder than the grave, were his words.
He read a few verses from the Bible,
warned the bereaved mother "against
rebellion at tbe divine decrees," made
a brief prayer and was gone.
The undertaker looked at the great
singer and me, as if to say, "It's time
to go."
Without a word Parepa rose and
walked to the head of the coffin. She
laid her white scarf on an empty chair,
threw her cloak back from her shoul?
ders, where It fell In long, soft black
lines from her noble figure, like the
drapery of mourning. She laid her
soft, fair hand on tbe cold forehead,
passed It tenderly over the wasted, del?
icate face, looked down at the dead
girl a moment, removed some Easter
lilies I had brought from the stained
box to the thin fingers and, with illu?
mined eyes sang the glorious melody;
Angels, ever bright and fair,
Take, oh, take her to thy caret
Her voice rose and fell In all its rich?
ness and power and beauty and pity.
She looked above the dingy room and
the tired faces of men and women, the
hard hands aud the struggling hearts.
She threw back her head and sang till
the choirs of paradise must have paus?
ed to listen to the Easter music of that
day.
She passed her hands caressingly
over the girl's soft, dark hair and sang
on and on:
Take, ob, take her to thy care!
The mother's face grew rapt aud
white. Suddenly she threw my hand
otT aud knelt at Parepa's feet, close to
the wooden trestles. She locked her
lingers together, tears and sobs break?
ing forth. She prayed aloud that Cod
would bless the angel singing for An?
nie. I led her back to her seat as the
last grand uotes of Parepa's voice rose
triumphant over all earthly pain and
sorrow.
I thought that no queen ever went to
her grave with greater ceremony than
this young daughter of poverty and
toil, committed to the care of the an?
gels.
That night thousands listened to Pa?
repa's matchless voice. Applause rose
to the skies, and her own face was glo?
riously swept with emotion. 1 joined

ter and the shiiumerfng of jewels and
