How the years have dragged thnmaelvee along, so that, although I have several more birthdays to come to mo (if I Hve) in "the twenties," I seem to bo already an old man when I think upon the farm and mother ami the old meeting house and all the sweet mem- - ories of the time when I was a boy and 1 knew nothing — absolutely nothing — of I sorrow and trouble and hard knocks. 1 Even today when, young u I am, I have lo ronfeu mywif wore and wearied, battered, braised and broken, scarred and seared by contact with all tho roughAm, tho rudeness, tho dirt, tho grime, tho sin and U10 hearUessnem of tho world —even yet I bleu God for the halo of goodness which has followed mo, in all my wanderings, from my Massachusetts ' I was tho youngest of tho merry young- 1 store who had grown up, under our family roof tree, lo youth and manhood, and was the lost lo break away from tho comparative quiet of New England for tho bustle and hurly-burly of the great My two brothers were full grown men ' while I was still n small boy. attending ; bur village school, and notlilng could keep them at home when the gold excitement broke out in tlie Black Hills. After they went away my mother and father never saw them more. The next 1 events of importance in our family were 1 tho weddings of my two sisters, follow- 1 log In rapid succession. Then, more than ever, I became my 1 mother's companion and might hare remained so, pcrcltance, to this day had 1 not death claimed her and father for his 1 not Iwr father

prey within a few short weeks of each other. _ Father was a good man and 1 always loved, honored and respected him; but to mo I think, nay, I am certain, ho was never as dear as mother— and I felt this more during the few short weeks thst mother lingered after father's death. How she liked to have mo alt by her bedsido and rend to Iter— sometimes from one of Dickens' msstorploces and sometimes from her well used Bible! How it pleased her when I would sing (u a boy, I believe I had a pleasant, musical voice) one of her favorite songs or s hymn from the littlo brown covered book! How contented she was, on the day that shs passed away, to have me place my hand in hcra while she whispered her farewell words. "Qtve ino tho hymn book. Rod," she said towards the last. I gave « to her and watched her as with much feebleness she lore from it one of the pages— worn no thin and much soiled by constant "Keep it, Rod, my boy; keep it always, and when you are a ;man read it and sing It— it is your mother's favorite I have never parted with that torn scrap, and while I live It will never be bartered for the largest bank note in existence. Sickly sentiment, is it? Be it so; there has, God knows, been little enough of sentiment in my life, and I afford to indulge this one soft feeling which I possess and treasure. Ten years passed away. Amid a group of rough men sasenihled In a saloon In a small frontier town I was tho central figure. I was arraigned as a culprit before a mock judge and a mock jury, undergoing a mock trial for stealing a man's entire outfit— coat, pants, belt, pistols and , boots. I waa innocent, quite Innocent— but the circumstantial evidence was against me, and. beqitkw, 1 had I oerteWy been associating Mtfg my "hard" set. I knew lull well- thst the ; were greatly against U verdict of t "not guilty," and I was also well aware that punish menu were not grsdrd In thst locality. Sentences for all mimes were uniformly seven sod execution prompt. The evidence wU taken In Atc . minutes and then the Judge fa miner like , "Hev you got owt to'my'fcr yessrli, !

"Is that alB" said the judge, while a low nida laugh went around the roam. "We ill tlioiighi that yon eras squar', Hod." went on the judge, "and we feel like giving you a fair show. Why dhn't you own up, now, and throw yourself on the mercy of the court?" "Judge," I replied, giving the man his L mock title, "I kp square. An you' bora ' know me," I wen\ on, appealing to the crowd, on whoee faces I failed to ere * much expression of sympathy. "You fellows know I don't pretend to be any I great shakes, but, before God, I have never told a lie lo yon or AUy eoe else, and neither have X evtr taken what dent belong to me. I swear I am Innocent of this affair." . _"I) that all?" again asked the judge. ' "Yea, sir. Btay"-ond I fumbled in my pocket for a scrap of paper which I S inside my shirt. "Yon fellows all mothers?" There waa a coarse, load guffaw, while "ThcU* a regTar bald headed, palsied wash with this' gang!" But just then a tall, broad shouldered man— a stranger- entered Uie saloon. He had heard my appeal and had also board the rough words of tho miner who had last spoken. "By the court's ^ave," said the new erffvi, :T « en ohfrrgulstor. judge, and think the young fellow ought to have hie say, whatever ft is." "Good," came from tho lipe of the lodge; "go on. my lad." "I waa going to say, jndgr, that I have a little scrap of paper ben— not much account, certainly, lo anybody but myself; but my dead mother gave it to me ■end I've treasured It shoal ten years. It sight hand en that page torn from my mother's hymn book. Trddge, Ism htno•'Oentlemon irf the jury, what do you n»y? Is the prisoner guilty or not guilty?" "Guilty r came from a score of throats. Now I waa not greatly afraid of death, though I would have rrefefrixl tb lire, and anyhow did not parttaalariy fancy death by means of a hempen rope.

I'd like him to play and eipg this coo. And, judge, ask the boys that don't want to hoar it to step oqtside, because I shouldn't liko to eoe them poking fun at It." "Boys, you hoar!" said the Judge, "and strangely enough there was absolute * silence, while not a man loft tho room. There was an old piano hi thai western saloon, used for free-and-easy*, nqlsy ooooerta and occasional dances, though it hi doubtful if sacred songs had ever been played upon it during its sojourn at that settlement. Jerry Davis took tha littlo torn page, struck a chord or two, and then commenced to king in his rich tenor voice: Iswjsll tlMtrxutKj status The drtni thief rsjolrel to are That fouslala la his da;.
