YOUTH AND AGE. Turn back. oh. dial-plata of time, Spare to my locks their hue of Jet; With youth my (flowing fa atlea rhyme ■ For age I am not ready yet. The wrinkled gray hoard, passing by. Was he my schoolmate lang ago? Some hint like that flashed through his eye, And yet I hold It is not to. What means the traitorous almanac? Who heeds the tale its rages tell? I feel of youth I nothing lack. In May’s eternal realm it dwell -Are not these lowers and fields as fair As those In far-off days I knew? To-day I fervently declare I never saw a sky more blue! Here's Maud, who wears the dainty rose Of sixteen summers on her cheek; Stop not the gray beard—well he knows *Tis but with her 1 care to speak. Since naught of nature's charm has fled, And on Maud'a lips my lips have pressed, There must be youth and joy ahead— How can ypu ask a lovelier test? Thrilled by the rapture of her smile. Why should I mind the almanac? Let Age conceal his-frost awhile— Ask Time to turn his dial back. —Joel Benton, In Leslie's Weekly.

Quietly rising from his seat, the official who so recently ha 3 had the verbal % tilt with Cram held forth a rusty, crosshilted, two-edged knife? that looked as though it might have lain in the mud and wet for hotirs.“Ilave you ever seem this knife before?” he asked. Anel Doyle, lifting tip his eyes one instant, groaned, shuddered, and said: “Oh, my $od, yes!” “Whose property is it or was it?” At first he would not reply. Do moaned and shook. At last: > “Sure,the initials are on the top,” he cried. But the official Was relentless. 1 “Tell us what they are and what they represent.” People were crowding the hallway and forcing themselves into the room. Cram and Ferry, curiously watching their ill-starred comrade, hau exchanged glances of dismay when the knife was so suddenly produced. Now they bent breathlessly forward. The silence for the moment was oppressive. “If it's the knife I mane,” he sobbed at last, desperately, miserably, “the letters are S. B. W., and it belongs to Lieut. Waring of our bathery.” “• d But no questioning, however adroit, could elicit from him the faiiitest information as to how it got there. The last time he remembered seeing it, he 6aid, was on Mr. Waring’s table the morning of the review. A detective testified to having found it among the bushes under the window as the water receded. Ferry and the miserable Ananias were called, and they, too, had to identify the knife, and admit that neither had seen it about the® room f since Mr. Waring "left for town. Of other witnesses called, came first the proprietor of the stable to which the cab belonged. Home and cab, he said, covered with mud, were found undeij a shed two blocks lielow the French market, and the only thing in the cab was a handsome sills umbrella, London make, which Lieut. Pierce laid claim to. Mrs. Doyle swore that as she was going in search of her husband she 'met the cab just below the Pelican, driving furiously away, and that in the flash of lightning she recognized the driver as the man whom Lieut. Waring had beaten that morning on the levee in front of her place. A stranger was seated beside him. There were two gentlemen inside, but sho caw the face of only one—Lieut. "Waring. " ,

Nobody else could throw any ngnt on the matter. The doctor, recalled, declared the knife or dagger was shaped exactly as would have to be the one that gave the death blow. Everything pointed to the fact that there had been a struggle, a deadly encounter, and that after the fatal work was done the murderer or murderers had left the doors locked and barred and escaped through the window, leaving the desk rifled and carrying away what money there was, possibly to convey the idea that it was only a vulgar murder and rftbbery after all. r '* Of other persons who might throw light upon the tragedy the following Were missing: Lieut. Waring, Private Dawson, the cabman, and the unrecognized stranger. So, too, was Anatole’s boat. V7U. ■ When four days and nights had passed ] ♦way without a word or sign from War- j lag, the garrison had come to the conclusion that those officers or men of Battery “X” who still believed him innocent were idiots. So did the civil authorities; but those were days when Vie civil authorities of Louisiana comrilandcd less respect from its educated ■people, than did even the military. The police force, like the state, were tSndergcing a process called recon■grmction, which might have been impressive in theory, but was ri- ' d tculous in practice. A reward had Veen offered by business associates of the deceased for the capture and conviction of the assassin. A distant relative of old Lascelles had come to take charge of the place until M. Philippa should arrive. The latter's address had been found among old Armand’s papers, and dispatches, via Havana, had been sent to him, also letters. • Pierre d’Herrilly had taken the weepf 1«g widow and little Nin Nin to bonne *** maman's to stay. Alphonse and his woolly-pated mother, true to negro •uperstitions, had decamped. Nothing would induce them to remain under the roof where foul murder had been done. "De hahnts” was what they were afraid of. And so the old white homestead. though surrounded on every side

by curiosity seekers and prytng eyes, was prac ticolfy deserted. Cram went about his duties with a heavy heart and light Bid. Ferry and Pierce tooth command^ section snow, as Doyle remained i:n close arrest and “Pills the Less” in close attendance. Something was utterly wrong with the fellow. Mrs; Doyle bad not again ventured to show her; red nose within the limits of the “barx,” as the called them, a hint from Braxton having proved sufficient; but that she was ever scouting the pickets no one could doubt. Morn, noon and night she prowled about the neighborhood, employing the “byes,” so she termed such stray sheep in army blue as a dhrop of Anatole's best would tempt, to carry scawling notes to Jim, one of which, falling with its postman by the wayside and turned over by the guard to Capt. Cram for transmittal, was addressed to Mister Loot'nt James Doyle, L ite Bothery X, Jaxun Barx, and brought the only laughter to his lips the big horse artilleryman had known for nearly a week. Her customary Mercury, Dawson, had vanished from sight, dropped, with many another and often a better man, as a deserter. Over at Waring’s abandoned quarters the shades were drawn and the green jalousies bolted. Pierce stole in each day to see that everything, even to the augmented heap of letters, was undisturbed, and Ananias drooped in the court below and refused to be comforted. Cram had duly notified Waring's relatives, now living in New York, of his strange and. sudden disappearance, but made no mention of the cloud of suspicion which had surrounded his name. Meantime, some legal friends of the family were overhauling the Lascelles papers, and a dark-complex-ioned, thick-set, active little civilian was making frequent trips between the department headqxiarters and barracks. At the former he compared notes wiith Lieut. Reynolds, and at the latter with Braxtons and Cram. The last interview Mr. Allerton had before leaving With his family for the north was with this same lively party, the detective who joined them that night at the St. Charles, and Allerton, being a man of much substance, had tapped his pocketbook significantly. “Thq difficulty just now is in having a tails with the widow,” said this official to Cram and Reynolds, whom he had met by appointment on the Thursday follow'ing the eventful Saturday

[ want 18 evidence v; > acquit him and aim* ! Viet somebedy eh of Lascelles’ death. What has this to < io with the other?” | “This much: his letter came to Braxton by han 1, not by mail—by hand, probably direct from her. What ! hand had access to the ofiiee the day when the whole ommand was out; at j review? Certainly no ontsider. 'rhe j mail is opened a%_‘. distributed on its ! arrival at nine o'clock by the chief ; clerk, or by the s* secant major, if he j happens to be the; . though he's pen- j erally at petard mo unt. On this occa- i sion ho was out at review. Leary, I chief clerk, tells Col. Braxton he ope ned I and distributed ,t: i mail, putting the colonel's on his c sk; Root was with him and helped. ,*£ he third clerk came in later; had been oat all night, drink- j mg.

Then he hears of the murder, bolts, and isn’t heard from since, exccp as the man who helped Mrs. Doyle ho get her husband home. He is the f allow who brought that note. He know something of its contents, for the murder terrified him, and he ran away. Find his trail, and you strike that cf the woman who wrote these.” “By the Lord, lieutenant, if you’ll quit the army and uke my place y ou’ll make a name and a fortune.” “And if you’ll cs.it your place and take mine you’ll get your coup de grace in some picayune Indian fight and be forgotten. So stay where you are; but find Dawson, find her, find what they know, and you’ll be famous^” IX That night, or very early next morning, there was pandemonium at the barracks. It was clear, still, beautiful. A soft April wind was drifting up from the lower coast, laden with the perfume of sweet olive and orange blossoms. Mrs. Crain, with one or two lady friends and a party of officers, had been chatting in low tone upon their gallery until after eleven, but elsewhere about the moonlit quadrangle all was silt ce when the sec- j ond relief was posted. Far at the rear ! of the walled inclos re, where, in def- ! erence to the manners and customs of ; war as observed 1n he good old days j whereof our senior toll, the sutler's j establishment was planted within i easy hailing distar e of the guard- ; house, there was s 11 the sound of j

“HAVE YOU EVER SEER THIS HRIFE BEFORE?’

of Braxton’s “combined” review. “SJ»e is too much prostrated. I’ve simply got to wait awhile, and meantime go about this other affair. Is there no way in which you can see her?” Cram relaj»sed into a brown study. Reynolds was poring over the note written to llraxton and comparing it with one ho held in his hand—an old one, and one that told an old, old story. “I know you’ll say I have no right to ask this,” it read, “but you’re a gentleman and I’m a friendless woman deserted by a worthless husband. My own people are ruined by the war, but even if they had money; they wouldn’t send any to me, for I offended them all by marrying a Yankee officer. God knows I am punished enough for that. But I was so young and innocent when he courted me. I ought to of left—I would of left him as soon- as I found out how good-for-nothing he really was, only I was so much in love I couldn’t. I was fastenated, I suppose. Now I’ve sold everything, but if you’ll J only lend me fifty dollars I’ll work my finge:rs to the bone until I pay it. For t.Vio nlH Immo’s snlfA. nlpnso dr».”

“It’s the same hand—the same woman, Cram, beyond a doubt. She bled ■Waring1 for the old home's sake the first winter he was in the south. He told me all about it two years ago in Washington, when we heard of her thw second time, Now she’s followed him over here, or got here first, tried the i same: game probably, met with a refusal., and this anonymous note is her revenge. The man she married was a crack-brained weakling who got into I the army the fag end of the war, fell in love with her pretty face, married her, then they quarreled and he drank himself into a muddle-head. She ran him into debt; then he gambled away government, funds, bolted, was caught, and would have been tried and sent to jail, but some powerful relative saved him that, and simply had him dropped —never heard of him again. She was about a month grass-widowed when Waring came on his first duty there. He had on uncongenial lot of brother officers for a two-company post, ind really had known of this girl and her people before the war, and she appealed to him, first for sympathy and help, then charity, then blackmail, I reckon, from vfhich his fever saved him. Then she struck some quartermaster or other and lived off him for awh ile; drifted over here, and no sooner did he-sirrive, all ignorant of her presence in or around New Orleans, than she began pestering him again. When he turned a deaf ear, she probably threatened, and then came these anonymous missives to you and Braxton. Yours always came by mail, you say. The odd thing about the colonel’s —tins one, at least—is that it was with his mail, but never came through the post office-” “That’s all very interesting,” said the little civilian^ dryly, “but what we

modified revelry by night, and poker j and whisky punch had slathered their j devotees in the grimy parlors of Mr. j Finkbein, and herq tbe belated ones tarried until long aft r midnight, as most of them were bac elors and had no better halves, as hat Doyle, to fetch them home “out of tfej wet.” Cram and his lieutenants, v .th the exception of Doyle, were never known to patronize this establishment, whatsoever they might do mtside. They had separated before midnight, and little Pierce, after his ustomary peep into Waring’s preserr s, had closed the door, gone to his own room to bed atid to sleep. Ferry, a.*; battery officer of the day, had made the rounds of the stables and gun shed ab ut one o’clock, and had encountered Ct.pt. Ivinsey, of the infantry, coming ir from his long tramp through the dew-wet field, re- 1 turning from the inspection of the sen-try-post at the .'big mag sine. “No news Of poor Sam yet, I suppose?” said Kinsey, sac. y, as the two came strolling in togeth ir through the rear gate.

“jNotmng whatever, was rerry s answer. “We cannot t en form a con- j jecture, unless he, too, as been mur- j dered. Think of thcr*: being1 a war-j rant out for his arres —for him, Sam j Waring!” “Well,” said Kinsey, “no other con- j elusion could be well arrived at, un- j less that poor brute D yle did it in a drunken row.. Pills say; he never saw a j man so terror-stricken is he seems to1 be. He’s afraid to lea e him, really, and Doyle’s afraid to be alone—thinks the old woman may gel in.” “She has no excuse 1 *r coming, captain,” said Ferry. rhen she told Cram she must see her usband to-day, that she was out of money and starv- | ing, the captain surprit d her by hand- j ing her fifty dollars, which is much | more than she’d have ;ot from Doyle, j She took it, of cours; but that isn’t j what she wanted. She wants to get at him. She has money enough.** “Yes, that woman’s a terror, Ferry. Old Mrs. Murtagh, wif of my quarter- j master sergeant, has b en in the artny j twenty years,' and says; she knew her well—knew all her people. She comes from a tough lot, and hey had a bad reputation in Texas La the old days, j Doyle’s a totally diff rent man since j she turned up, Cram t 11s me. Hellol j here’s ‘Pills the Les ” he suddenly j exclaimed, as they cl; ne opposite the j west gate leading t the hospital, j “How’s your^patient, I oe?” “Well, he,;r sleepii ? at last.

There m’t anything to drink in the room, e en if he should ; wake, and Jimisslee] ng or lying there j by him.” I “Oh, he’ll do all rig t now, I reckon,” j said the officer of the day, cheerfuUy. j “Go and get your slee >.

my •entries or rides «be air on a broomstick, like some other old witches I've read of. Ferry sleeps in the adjoining room,.anyhow, so he can look out for her. Good night. Doc.” And so, on thev went, glancing upward at the dim fight just showing through the window-blinds in the gable end ol Doyle's quarters, and halting at the foot of the stairs. “Come over and have a pipe with me, Ferry,” said the captain. ‘‘It's too beautiful a night to turn in. I want to talk to you about Waring, anyhow. Thil thing weighs on my mind.” “Done with you, for in hour any- ! how!” said Ferry. “Just wait a minute till I run up and get my baccy.” Presently down came the young fellow again, meerschaum In hand, the moonlight glinting on his slender figure, so trim and jaunty in the battery i dress. Kinsey looked him over with a [ smile of soldierly approval and » wnirn- I sical comment on the contrast between j the appearance of this young artillery j sprig and that of his own stout oersonality, clad as he was in a bulging j blue flannel sack coat, only distinguish- i able in cut and style from civilian | garb by its having brass buttons and a | pair Of tarnished old shoulder straps, j Ferry was a swell. His shell jacket ' fitted like wax. The Russian shoulder knots of twisted gold were of the hand- j. somest make. Thie riding breeches, top boots and spurs were such that even Waring could not criticise. His saber gleamed in the moonbeams, and Kinsey’s old leather-covered sword looked dingy by contrast. His belt j fitted trim and taut, and was polished as his boot-tops; Kinsey’s sank down j over the left hip, and was worn brown. The sash Ferry sported as battery offi- i ccrof the day was draped, West Point 1 fashion, over the shoulder and around | the waist, and accurately knotted and j looped; Kinsey's old,war-worn crimson j net was slung higgledy-piggledy over his broad chest. j 1T0 BB COBTIST7ED.] THAT WAS DIFFERENT.

When Jim Began Supposing That Settled the Blatter. “One day in the mountains, that lift their green-walled battlements above the tumbling waters of the upper Cumberland, I stopped at a log house to get my dinner. It was a double affair, with a lean-to porch in front of it, and was occupied by a man and woman, who were^cagcr to hear me talk of the great world beyond the fastnesses of the everlasting hilils that hedged them in. We sat at the table for some minutes after we had finished eating, and the woman began talking, in her own crude imaginative fashion, of the things I had been telling them. “ ‘S'posin’, Jim,’she said, addressing herself principally to her husband, ‘S'posin’ I wuz a fine lady in silks and satins; an’ s’posin’ I had hosses an’ kerridges; an’ s'posin’ we lived in a marble palace, with glass winders; an’ s’posin’ you wuz a prominent citizen an’ put on a cleau shirt every week; an’ s'posin’ we could go to Europe an’ see all the grand sights; an’ s’posin’ we had a washtub full of money; an’ s’posin’ we'd come back yer to these parts an’ s'posin’ we'd build a town right out there in the bottom, an* s’posin’ it ’ud grow an’ grow, an’ s’posin’ a boovelard was run right along down thar whar the cow shed is now, an’ s’posin’ they’d name it atter us, Jim, wouldn’t that be somethin’ wurth s’posin'*?’ and the woman looked out of the door and gazed off across the valley with almost a dreamy look in her dull gray eyes. “ ‘Yes, "Susan,’ responded Jim, in the same fanciful strain, ‘ah’ s’posin’ I run fer congress an1--’ • t “She recovered her everyday practical spirit at the sound of his voice and stopped him. “ ‘No, you don’t,’ she said, jumping up and beginning to clear off the table, ‘I’ll do all the s’posin’ for this family myself. You go ’long out thar hnd chop enough firewood to last over Sunday.’ “Fifteen minutes later, as I turned at the bend of the road that carried me out of sight, I saw Jim chopping at the wood and Susan carrying an armful to the house.”—Detroit Free Press. »

The Women or Alaska. There is a woman in Sitka, known as Princess Tom, who%s very rich. She at one time had three husbands, but has become Christianized and has discarded two. She is an extensive trader, and has several large canoes in which she transports goods from Sitka to the interior and exchanges them with the natives ior furs. She is known all over Alaska, and wears upon her arms tufenty or thirty^ bracelets made out of S20 gold pieces. Thenatives also trace their genealogy through the female branch of the family, and the inheritance comes through the mother’s side. For instance, if a chief should die, leaving a son, his sisr ters son or nephew would succeed in authority and not his own son. The women are not slaves, as in the Indian tribes in this country, but exercise a great deal of authority. The women emulate their sex in civilized countries in their affectation of bright and gaudy colors, and most of the money they receive is invested in bright colored goods and shawls. The Prince and the Policeman. An English woman told this story the other day: “I was attending a monstrous fair in Albert hall once upon a time when I spied the duke of Edinburgh standing near a booth where I Was making some purchases. The rest of the royal family were in a box at the other end of the building. Presently they prepared to descend and mingle with the throng on the floor below. An officious policeman rushed about among us pushing us hither and thither. He seized the duke by •Vhe shoulder and gave him a tug. ‘Here,* he said, roughly, ‘stand one side, can’t you? You’ve got *to make room for the prince of Wales.’ The joke was too good. I felt myself obliged to encounter that officer later on and to tell him who the quiet gentleman was who had so instantly and silently obeyed hie nite command."
