Mother.
Of all the ways I've wandered, of all the roads
I've tread,
Of all the paths I've sauntered, of all the boys
I've led,
Of all the maids I've courted, of all the women
seen,
There Itever was a dearer then my old mother's
been.
Yes 1 oft up in the cottage when the day was
almost clone,
When sitting on the doorstep behind the green,
green lawn,
There inany a hoeppyhour I passed with my old
mother sweet,
That the wealth and gold of ages such scenes
cannot repeat.
And when a little urchin I ran and scampered
past;
And sported on the same old lawn and played.
upon the grass,
There was always one to love me, to comfort
and caress,
And that was my old mother, that God may
always bless.
And now as oft I wander, 'mongst palaces and
domes,
And wend my way in lordly halls, in kings and.
princes' homes,
And listen to bold commoners in wild and fierce
debate,
My mind is tinged -with anguish and my soul it
burns with hate.
And among my happiest moments, ab the
climax of success, •
.Among the prettiest women and the choicest of
• the guests,
There is not a thought so happy, or half so
blest a lot
As the thought of my old. mother up in the
hillside cot.

offioe and beheld the wielder of the megie

the lad carefully deposited the violin in the
open box at his side and elotyly rose, Keen -
lee saw that the little fellow was a °ripple.
One leg, distorted and ebxivelled, swung a
Useless member. Resting on his unbelief),
the boy raised hie het.
"You're the new agent, I &pose," he
said.
" Yee," Keanley answered, "1 am the
new agent. And who are you ?" he con -
tinned, kindly. "The ex -agent ?"
"Ne, only his son," the boy replied.

"Over there en the slope."
The befe chin quivered as he spoke.
Keanley looked trent the window. Oa the
slope of the Lone Mound was a tiny grave-
yard One oblong blade blot& in its
midst marked a new -made grave. The agent
was there.
"Pardon me," Keanley. said; "I did nob
know. My inebructions amply told me to
take charge of the station. I suppoaed the
agent had been promoted or discharged."
"He was promoted," the boy said
gravely.
"And whet will you do now?" Keanley
asked presently.
"I don't know," the boy answered. "I've
been thbeking and thinking, but ibis no use.
I don't know what to do. Perhaps the
superintendent will give me a place in an
effice. I can write is fair hand and wire
pretty , well, bub I ain't much on heavy
work."
This last whet a rueful look at hie matches.
Then Keanley lied, and deliberately, tech
He had no need of an assistant, bub a light-
ning resolve flashed through his brain and
he said to the cripple:
" Yon are just elle chap 1 ant looking for.

"What for?" asked the led.
"To -to -why, te weirs and look out for
things generally" Kearney answered half
desperately. "Ili feel infer to gad absut
when 1. have an assientat whom I knew I

The boy looked doubtfully at him. "11

"In 'Arnett t"Keanley cried in pretended
pique at the led's doubt. "Of course I am,
Do you think I don't know my own mind,
young man ?"
The boy said nothing. And so it was
eettled, and °rippled Ben became Kearoley's
assistant, although there was not work
enough to occupy half of one person's time.
As the days when the breeze brought the
slope the perfume of the wild verbenas were
succeeded by those when the snow came

depot Resells: grew more than fond of the
little cripple. To be sure, to board and
clotbe the lad and to pay him an oceaelonei

salary, but Keanley never grndged is penny
of it. lb was pay enough Do witness tee
bay's gratitude and to see the iad's great
eyes following him with their glances ef
positive beatitude.
Often and ofben the violin rang its sweet
songs, but now they eeldom had the pieiful,
welling undertone.
The ladn father had planned to do jumble°
to his talent by having him taught by is
master of the violin. Now Ketuiley and
little Ben planned in a happy, visionary
way. They were to save what) money they
coiild, and thus little Ben was be have
the coveted musical instrumien. But at
beat, the aciournulation ot funds went on
slowly.
The plans of the two went further than
this. Keenley lied " owe upon is time"
been foolish enough to fall in twee with old
Senator Hicks' daughter and she returned
hie love. The old Senator, when he found
how mattere etood,promeded to squelch the
whole affair. He had even forgot the time
he had been as much of a pauper as the
young fellow he sent packing from his pre-
sence.
The girl, with her tear -wet face upturned
be his, promised. Keanley to wait for him
till he succeeded in acemmulating the $10,-
000 that the elcl Senator named as the
amount of wealth Keanley must possess be-
fore he could aspire to winning her. Then
when orders had sent! Karelia', to th.e West
he had gone whit the doterranation strong
within him to very soon gain the money
and the girl.
Bab he epeedily grew deepondenb. The
fates seemed against! Min. He struck no
bonanza or highway to speedy wealth, and
finally half gave up she struggle. The
money that would flow to little Ben as robe
substantial reward of hie gentile was to be
invested by Kearney, who in tide manner
woutd soon obtain the coveted $10,000.
Tben when prosperity smiled upon the
Senator's new-found gon-in-lew littie Ben's
wealth was to be returned to him. The two
plotters pieced great faith in this plan,
chimerical as it ws s.
Then came the great storms and with
them one that the "aided inhabitanb,"
popularly sappoiled to know everything,
deciarged wan the largest and heenriest

that sounded somploiously as if he was chok-

In service, with the powdere speolally pre-
pared for the gum), the maximum gremlins
range from 13,6 to 15.5 tone to the square

The general design of the Hebolikiee
rapid-fire gun for quiok fire; as it is called
in England, is a main bubo rabrengthened alt
the breech by a jacket shrunk on,and also
in the heavier guns by betide extending
considerable distance forward of the jeoket.
The jacket carries the trunnions and bhe
breeoh meehenism. With is few unimport-
ant exceptions the breech block worke
up and down in a vertical slot,
being manipulated by a lever en
the right hand aide. One quick movement
drops the breech bleak below the level of
the chamber, aad simultaneously the empty
cartridge case remaining in the gun from
the preview' ehob is thrown backward clear
of the gen. The mmunition is put up
IR ONB PIECE,
like bhe cartridge of a revolver. There is is
brass tube, closed at one end. Ti31B con-
tains a fulminate and the power aharge, and
the projectile is jest held in the open end.
As soon as the breech ping is dropped a
freak cartridge is pushed in by one of the
gunners until the flange on its (nosed end
catches oa the extractor. Then a turn of
the lever throws the breech biopic up, auto-
matically forcing the cartridge wholly into
place, cocking tae firing trigger and releas-
ing the meaty device, which makes it im-
possible to fire the gun until the breech in
absolutely bight shut.
If the trigger should be palled and there
should be a" hang fire" the gunner, in the
notes and excitement of the battle, might
bake it for granted than the gun had gone
off and might throw oeen the breech to
reload. Then, when firing at intervals of
only
, TWO AND A RALF SEDONDS,
the cartridge might hold fire juts long
enough to explode when the breech was
opened and kill the gunners behind it.
An ingenious device has been Watched,
therefore, which keeps the brae& automa-
tically looked until dune is an explosion.
This device can be unlocked whenever a
misfire occurs, or when going through
the motions of firing or drill. For moeb
of bhe guns one man points and fires the
gun while the other works the breech
bloek lever and pops the cartridgee into
the chamber.
