school -house, and as he heard the hum of

wondered bitterly, what it would be like to

stealthy and defiant, as if willing to escape

No one saw him, and he greedily drank
down two brimming dipperfuls of the cool
water. Then he stole out of the yard
again, a,nd limped on toward the centre of
the town, until, unable to resist the tenipt-
ing Ehade of one of the great maples, he
dropped on the grass, endwith a sigh stretch-
ed Ins numbed limbs.
The school doors had opened, and it was
the buzz of eager young voices that had
mused him to sink back, courting such ob-
scurity as the grass and shade afforded.
Laughing, shouting, running, throwing
stones in the usual boy fashion, the boys
came boisterously down the road. Furtive-
ly the little wayfarer watched their ap-
proach, hoping they would. either not see or
notice him, but Drawing with dogged fierce-
ness for the disapponsment of his hopes.
There was a sudden hush as they drew
nearer to him, and he knew :he basi been
seen.

and though he did not stir, the angry blood
rushed to his face, and turned the clear
olive of his skin to a copper bronze.
When they drew nearer, and could die.
anguish more clearly, he heard the words,
"It's only a boy."
Something in the tone of the voice impell-
ed him to glance quickly around, and he did
so just in time to see a stone leave the hand
of one of the largest boys ancl come directly
towards him.
To dodge the stone and spring to his feet
seemed but one act, and in a second he stood,
with scowling alertness, scanning the boys
now crowding curiously together, and cast-
ing upon the one who had thrown the stone
an angry look that in some subtle way
seemed to contain an invitation to repeat
his act of aggression if he dared.
The latter seemed to feel it so, for he
laughed awkwardly, and said, " Yeend better
get out of here ; we keep a jail in this town
for tramps."
Some of the boys laughed, but most of
them moved uneasily to one side, and stood
there as if too curious to be willing to lose
she chance of seeing what relight take place,
and yet disinclined to endorse the action of
their school -fellow.
With a sort of contemptuous fierceness
the stranger glanced from the head to the
feet of the boy, and back again to his head,
and then said, tauntingly, "You kin throw
stones at a feller behind his back an' you
kin talk to his face, but you daseene lay a
finger on me."
there was a sort of pathetic aelepity in his
taunt. "An' I've walked twenty miles

O young horse °Grazing in the field.
As he stood there a young girl hurried
past him: He looked up and oaught a back-
ward, scared glance from her. She ran on,
and he followed slowly, resenting in an un-
defined way her fear of him.
"What had she to be afraid of ?" he ask:
ed himself. Not of him, surely, for he was
too weary now to hurt anybody—too weary,
indeed, to drag his feet any further.
He dropped weakly :under a tree, and
crossing his arms on his bent knees, laid his
head forward on theme wondering if hi
strength was going te give out before he
could reach a place where he could get some-
thing to eat.
"If you will come home with me, I am
sure I can get you something to eat,"
He looked up with a start. The little
girl whose fear of him he had resented stood
near him, looking down at him in a pitying
yet partly fearful way. ,
His scowling scrutiny of her alarmed her,
and she retrea ted a pace or two as she timid-
ly wenb on :
"I heard you say you were hungry. I ani
cgo, mamma will give you something to
" Yes " he said with an ugly sneer, " so's
she can have me:arrested, for leeggine No,
you don't; you don't catch me so easy. Go
on now, and leave me alone."
"Oh !" exclaimed the little girl, in a
shocked tone, "how can you say such
things? Mamma wouldn't de that for any-
thing." '
"No, of course not," he began, sarcasti-
cally. And then even, his savage fortitude
broke under his hunger and weariness, and
with a quick, catching sob he wailed appeal-
ingly: Why can't you leave me alone?
Whathave I done to you ?"
The brown head fell once more on the
ragged arms, and with wide-open eyes the
little girl saw the fierce fighter ole few min-
utes before crying bitterly.
Tears filled her own eyes, and after a
moment of timid hesitation she stole up to
the friendless lad and gently laid her little
hand on his shoulder, aiad said, syznpatheti-
" Please don't cry. I'm so sorry for
you I"
"G'way now, I tell you!" he snarled,
jerking his shoulder from under the- pitying
hand. "Leave me alone."
She cast upon him a sorrowful look of
wonder, and then turned 'and ran meetly.
The boy had rejected her offers of help
and her sympathy with churlish distrust,
but underneath the distrust an atom of hope
had struggled for recognition and there -
foie when the child acoered her repulse
and ran away, a heavy deapair smote the
lads heart, and he threw himself tit length
on the grass, murmuring, as if it had but
just come to him, " Ien so hungry !"
He had not lain there long when he heard
approaching footsteps. He did not look up;
he was reckless of the consequences of being
seen there.
"Won't you please eat this? Indeed we
wouldn't have you arrested for anything."
He looked up into the distressed face of
the little girl, and then down at a heaped-
up plate of food which she had placed beside
him. Then without a word, but with fre-
quent furtive glances at her as she leaned
agaittab the fence, he ate every morsel on the
plate. •
"What's yonr name ?" he asked, abrupt-
ly, as she stooped to pick up the plate.
" Katie Morris."
The preselect of a fight had a singular
effect upon the estrange lad, His eye lot its
hunted, sullen look, and became brightly
inert, his feet ehifted position a little, and
his hands clinched, though they hung care-
lessly by his side. His manner lost its ex-
citement, and became quitely, almost plea-
sently expectant. He answered Harry with
an exasperating sneer. "Talk's cheap.
Why don't you do it again if you dare?" „.
Harry could feel that his school -mates
were wondering if be were afraid of the boy
so much smaller than himself, and in a gust
of anger he atopped, picked up a small stone,
and threw it at his antagonist.

her embarransznent, Sbe asked, " What's

The lad's cheeks flushed and his brown
eyes searched her blue ones as he anowered
slowly, "Dick."

Again he cast upon her a quick, searching
glance, and then, hesitating a moment,
eaid, "Wont you tell anybody if 1 tell

"No—o," she ahswered, in uneasy sur-
prise.

voice, and yet showing signe of some pride

walked away, leaving Katie to wonder
what he meant by his odd, quickly put clues -

midst of her wonderment the heard her
mother calling he, and ran at once to tell
what had happened. .
Dick, glancing over his shoulder, paw her

steps to the gate of Squire Blodgett's lane,
and opening it, walked in wibh the utmost
confidence.
Ten minutes later Squire Blodgett was
saying to him, "Break my horse? What
nonsense is this? What do you mean' you

a story? Who sent you?"
"1 tell you I OAll break your horse to

"It won't hurt me, but ib would you.
Why, he would kick your brains out in two
minutes. Bub see here," exclaimed the
Squire, with sudden sharpness, "aren't you
the little tramp that got into a fight with
my boy ?"
Dick's dark eyes flashed angrily, a,nd a
saucy retort rose to his lips, but he who had
never oontrolled his temper for his own sake
now subdued it for the sake of those who
had been kind to him.. With an effort he
answered, calmly "I'm •no tramp. Your
boy pelted me with stones, and I whipped
him ; that's all."
"That's all, is it?" cried the Squire,
angrily. "You little scoundrel 1" lie
caught Dick by the collar, and lifted his
hand to cuff him.
"It was my fault, father." Dick turned
quickly, and saw Harry, with both eyes
black and blue, hurrying up to save him
from the squire's wrath.
"1 hit hini first," continued Harry..
"0h3 you did, eh?" growled the Squire,
loosing his hold of Dick, and looking foolish.
"Well, get out of here, and be thankful
I don'tlock you up."
But Dick was not prepared to ger yeb.
"About the horse, Squire ?" -
"Why, you little in poster, d'you think
I'd take the risk of your neck ?"
"It's DO risk at all, Squire. I've broken
hundreds, if I axn only a boy. 1 was born
in a stable, an' spent my life there, an' I
know sozne things 'tain't many does know.
Let me try."
"'Well," said the Squire; impressed by
Dick's earnestness, "I'll let you try ; but
mind. if you get killed, don't blame me."
"1 won't And abotit the pay -for it ?"
"Well, if you really do break the horse,
I'll see you don't complain."
"Wo, sir, I want to make a fair, square
bargain beforehand. I can break the horse,
an' I want fair pay."
"You do. What is your price then my
young Rarey ?"
" A cow ?"
"What ?"
"A cow. I'll agree to break your horse
to drive safe an' gentle and I want you to
give an order for the choice of your cows
when it's done."
"You're very modest."
"It's worth it, an' you know it. What
d'ye say ?" -
"Have it your own way. If you break
the horse—and I begin to have some confi-
dence in you—you'll have earned the cow.
Can you catch the horse ? Nobody here
oan."
"I can catch him. Cart you give me a
ong piece of strong clothes line ?"''
It is unnecessary to tell bywhat means Dick
subdued the Squire's horse, for subdue it he
did, much to the Squire's amazement and de-
ight. He employed a few simple devices
well known to horse -tamers, and did not oo.
eupy over an hour in making the vicious
colt as gentle as an old horse.
The Squire endeavored to discover -who
the young horee-tamer was, but without
success, for Dick refused to answer any
%mations ; but having obtained the order
giving the choice of the Squire's cows. he
drew Harry to one side, and Stid : "That
was mighty seuare of you to own up to the
old man. Will you shake hands?"
Harry took hits hand, and shook it heart -
ilk'. Dick flushed, and after heeitating a
minute, said, awkwardly, "You can write,
I s'pose ? I can't."
"Yes," answered Harry, "1 can write.
Do you want me o write something for

" Yes ; I want you to please pub down

Remedies for Bleeplessuess,
Either sleeplessness is on the increase, or
modern facilitio for the interchange of ideas
make it appear so. Our grandmothers may
have suffered from insomnia as we do, (in-
deed, we may inherit their sveaknese of
nerve) but their symptoms did not appear so
frequently in print. Certainly they accom-
plished a vast amount of physeal labor, and
an outlay of some brain power was necessary
in order to bring up their children properly
and make both ends meet. We ef to -day
are perhaps too ambitious ; we exhaust our
energies In trying to keep up with others
who are stronger in mind, in body or in
purse; we not only overwork, we worry;

A friend of mine, a school -teacher, an
enthusiast in her work, gradually and per-
haps unconsciously became so absorbed in
her occupation that she gave to it her whole
time and strength. Her eveninge were de-
voted to the correction of papers written by
her pupils, end to the searcih for interesting
matter and methods or her school, until
she taught actually all day and mentally all
night. She became alinost a nervous wreck.
Her physician adviSed moderate housework
as a possible remedy, which was certainly
safer than opiates. Although boarding with
her parents, she had given up all interest in
domestic details of the household. Fearing
to lose her reason, she accepted the sugges-
tion, and deveted her time to housekeeping.
At this time the widen death of the
church organist left a vacancy which she,
being a musician, was urgedito supply. -She
decided to accept, although her ende
thought her unwise to add to her already
great responsibilities, but sheloved music,
and was conscious that her art was rapidly
slipping from her grasp for want of practice.
and saw in this opportunity the possibility
of retaining and increasing her powers in
this direction. To her own surprise, and
that of all her friends, her health improved
under the new burden; when she worried,
it was not always about the school, but
sometimes about the troubles in the church
choir. (Did ever church choir exist without
them?)
At this time an unforeseen 'financial' cal-
amity occurred, and my friend took up her
pen, which she had wielded for many years
with grace, and helped to lift the heavy
load. Sickness in the family required her
to spend a few of the hours she ...load call
her own in nursing. No one ever accom-
plished more; yet her health improved
daily. She learned to systematize her ar-
duous 'fibers; when the school -room door
was locked, sal thoughts of school were
banished; when the church organ was
closed, the bickerings of the choir were
shut out of mind; when the pen was laid
down, the manuscript was regarded as ac•
opted ; when the school -room door opened,
all care of the invalid at home was left be-
hind, and when she laid her head upon her
pillow at night it was to sleep.
She told me that her constant change of 1
occupation gave her health and strength,
winch in turn gave her the will power to
concentrate her attention upon the work
before her,whether teaching, nursing, play-
ing, sweeping or sleeping.
It is said that farmer a wives constitute -
the majority of occupants of onr insane asy-
lums, and that overwork, znonotonous work,
unremunerative work, is the cause. We do
not often read that the farmer becomes in -
sons; he does not overwork—.be hires extra
men for extra work He does not find his
work monotonous; he is constantly chang-
ing his crops. As they mature in rotation,
he hes always something of interest to absorb
him. Neither is his work unremunerative ;
he world soon become insane if, after a hard
season of labor, he received nothing in re-
turn.
Not so the farmer's wife; she works in a
hot kitchen during the Ion? summer days
preparing food for extra men, sometimes
without one person upon whom she can call
for help; often with a teething baby in her
arms, while other little ones clamor for at-
tention. The washing, ironing, cooking
and sewing are all to be done by this worn-
out woman, who receives as remuneration
perhaps two or three calico dresses a year.
(This may seem an extreme case, but I heve
been an eye -witness of such a state of
affaire.) What wonder that such a woman
loses her power to sleep and ends her mis-
erable days in a madhouse?
My 'sisters, don't be sleepless; have a
change of occupation do something each
day that you enjoy doing; above all thiugs
learn to do something that will bring ' you
money—a woman who does not carry her
own pocket -book in these days is behind the
age. It will save you worry and will keep
up your drooping apirits as will nothing else.
Although it is desirable to "know hove to
do one thing well," do nob devote your
energies to one object, to the exclusion of
everything else, but make as much of your-
selves as possible, and, my word for it, your
sleeplessness will be, in a measure, over-
come,

The First Symptoms
Of all Lung disemies are much the same
feverieliness, loss of appetite, sore
throat, pato in the chest and back,
headache, etc. In a few day, yon may
be well, or, on the other hand, you new
be down with Pneumonia or " galloping
Consumption." Run no Tibiae but begin
immediately to take Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral.
Several years ago, James Birebard, of
Darien, Conn„ was severely ill, The
doctorsaid he was in Consumption,
and thet they could do nothing fax him,
but advised him, as a last resort, to try
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. After taking
this medicine, two or three 'months,
was pronounced a well anateer IIis health
remains good to the preseuteday.
3. S. Bradley, Malden, Mase,, writes :
"Three winters ago I took a severe cold,
which rapidly developed into 13rouch1tis
and Consuniption. I was ao weak that
I coulci riot sit up, was much emaciated,
and coughed inoeseantly. I consulted
several doctors, but they were power -
leas, and all (tweed that I was in Con-
sumption. At last, a friend brought me
a , bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral.
From the first, dose, I found relief.
Two bottles cured me, and my health
has since been perfeet."

The Tipping Evil in London.
In spite of all that has been said about.
the " tipping " evil in London, I maintain.
that it is not half the !scourge in England
that it is on the continent of Europe encl.:
that it is rapidly becoming on the continante
of America. •Waiters at English hotel
tables do not have it in their power to give -
patrons of the house bad food because they
are not well tipped. When a charge for'
attendance is made in the bills at hotels or
in restaurants one is mute within one's
rights to go away from the place without
tipping any servant whatsoever. London
cabmen never expect, and as far as I know,
never get any tips. Ask a,cabinan what his
are is, if you do not know yourself, and he:
will probably not exaggerate his fare beyond
a paltry sixpence, and more probably still
he will tell you the exact truth. "Cabbage" -
is dear when you indulge in a lot ot it, e
course; still, there are the omnibuses of
London, the finest of any metropolis, where
the fare is one penny. So you can take
your choice between penny and shilling'
modes of conveyance.
The Joggins' Timber Raft,
The owners of the big Joggins timber raft.
are evidently not having an easy time of it.
Besides suffering severe newspaper critic -
lama, and having maledictions showered on
'their heads by American znarinere, they
have now run amuck with the Customs
officials. Wire rope for ships' rigging, under
the tariff comes in free of duty. The jog -
gins people last week broughb in 58 coils of
steel wire rope to be used in the construc-
tion of the raft, entering it under the item
in the free list. The desetiption of the im-
ported article, however, differs greatly from•
the tariff clositloation and the Custorris
cfficiels in Halifax have therefore seized the,
whole consignment.
