Some workmen 1 i obstructed tbe sidewalk and I waa obliged I to cross the street. i * I remember of stepping down and ad- ■ . vanciog a few steps, of bearing hoarse ■ • shouts of warning, feeling snudden shock, t I nod tbeo all was blank. I When I relumed to conscious ocas I was ] t- -in a arrange room, everything waa strange "Where am I?" I asked, although 1 ■ ' could tee no ooe. "What baa happened?" t "You are with friends," said a low voice I near mr. and turning my eyes they fell on i [ a sweet tared lady not yet old, although i : ber hair was nearly while, sittiog near me. i - "How came I here?" I demanded in a i weak, startled voice. I After n brief consultation with the wo. ■ ' mae; eef&cntiy the nnree. the lady decided I I to explain tbe situation. 1 "You are steak, but I trust lo your good -Mae to remain calm while I tell you why t you are here. About a month ago you ■ west creasing tbe street snd my husband ' and I accidently ran against and severely : : Injured you. There waa nothing about I you to identify you, so we brought you | home." I "And this waa a month ago; baa no one ' been here? Did you advertise?" "No," replied the lady. "It waa reported in Ibe police Dews, I believe, aa my I - husband bad lo pay a large floe for bis < your friends.

I I was reckkM. I did not think bow unnecessary it waa lo apeak of my own I , history to a stranger. I A whole abolh I had lain there and no I ooe bad called. ' And my pale, thin bands showed how t near to death's door I had been. AsJ lay ' t tanking at my waited finger I noticed my I t ring was gone.

Tocy were unlike anything ever seen here, i I bad litem set in a pair of earrings for my I wife. One night our house waa robbed taken along with other valuables." "Was anything else taken?" I asked, < sitting upright, forgetting hw a mosnent 1 my weak state. ■ The gentleman strove to control ids emotion, but his wile area silently weep- ' ; the window. i "Yea. our only child." he replied, bro- ■ kenly. "Now will poc tell me bow you came by ibis cameo, for it is the same?

' perfectly satisfied that I belonged to lljem, and their Joy 'beggars daecriptioo.

Tfieir story was that my father bad i girro fait wife a necklace al diamonds, f ami seeing bow pleated her baby waa with I it ibe had shaken tbe Moore before its eyes, and at last, lo a spirit of fun, olaapt d I | il around the child's Deck. But she did j t n->i limb rwand the fattening, and as brr husband was away f nun home and tbe 1 t : could not gat tbe abort chain over the 1 t [ brad she waa obliged lo let the nurse put 1 ; tlie infant to sleep wilh the glittering ornn ' J menu about ha neck. But the temptation 1 I j proved togrrat for Ibe "nurse's cupidity. ' r the had taken the baby quietly oul to ' ; a neighboring Jeweler and had the neck. 1 ! unfastened.

J "Now, where do these people live who cared an kindly for you? I must see ' them," said my mother?- 1 Reluctantly I gave tuy address. Jack " came straight to- in? after my mother told ' her errand, and be looked so old and worn u and haggard that for a moment I was lost ' pity for him.

And then as I grew calmer I had 1 confess how I bad descended to the 11 contemptible business of eavesdropping ' and what 1 had heard. "It was my birthday, Jack.

For throe minutes Jack started at inc. 1 and then be. with difficulty repressing aa 1 to.lsqgb, raid: "My darling, bow could you believe il?

"Perfectly,'* I answered, feeling as if now 1 could get well nod strong at oncc. "But my birthday was all spoiled," I sighed. "To-day ia your birthday, ray dear," interrupted my new mother brightly enterthe room wilh M oilier ltayoor, "and tbe other was spoiled ask what you will and you may have It" "I'll take Jack," "I raid gnyly. Aod I did. "for better or for none." a year from my 18th birthday.— Chicago TriPray or and Broakfast. Some years ago, wbeo the country around Cincinnati was newer than it flow is. a pioua farmer was very busy clearing land. He had a number of men employed, and was noxious lo accomplish a amonot of work while tlie weather favorable. He called tbem early and went oul with them before breakfast. When breakfast was ready a horn waa and tbey came in aod ate. and returned again lo their work. Tbe farmer bad been accustomed to prsj era every morning in his family. to keep so many men from chopping aod log rolling while he read and prayed more than be oould afford ; so Satan suggested, and the good man yielded? His pioua wife aitw with grief that the family altar waa neglected ; that ber husin haste lo get rich, was departing from God. She talked with h'to; she pleaded with him, but ill TSlh. Al last sbr determined to try another expedient. The ocxt morning Ibe farmer nod ilia men went out as usual lo their work. Tbe sun lo climb up the sky, bat oo breakfast bom was heard. They grew Ijmgry snd looked anxiously toward the Buh-. tbey listened, but still the expected sumdid not cncne. After walling an beyond ibe usual lime, tbey went to the house. No table was set, do coffee waa boiling on the fire, no food cooking or before it. Tbe good wife was quiet'y.with the big Bible on ber "What does thin mean ? Why isn't the breakfast ready ? cried ber husband. " I thought you were in such a horry a'-.tul your work that you would nol have time to eat it." " Ilart lime toeat it! Do you think we " imcilrilrg without eating as well as without praying. The spirit needs the of Heaven aa much as the body needs ibe bread of earth." "Well, well, get us some breakfast, and will bare prayers again every mornno matter bow bony ire are, ot bow . workmen I have," (aid the fsrgvr. She got bla breakfast, aod be kept his word. Tbe lesson was a good ooe, aod never foagouea. The theory boa been advanced its', a crura 9ng will not attack a man who lift# bis bat to Ibe animal, " aa U presents to ' the dog's mind the apparil'toc of a living j creature taking himself apart."
