Show 10 , THE SALT .LAKK TIMES SATLUtJDAY, OCTOBER , j Boys and Girls Cosy Corner. it was evident that something unusually im-portant was going on. Mamma was up in her room, and her eyes had appeared very red when Bobby and Billy saw her last. Papa looked grave, while cousin Tom was the very picture of despair. And well he might be ! Last night Mr. Stanford had come home with a lot of important papers and money. He was very much worried about keeping them in the house over night, but bankinir hours were over, and the only course left was to leave the valuables in the safe where Mrs. Stanford's diamonds were usually kept. In the morning the safe was empty. Bobby and Billy knew all about this, and had seen strange gentlemen examining the safe ail day in papa's study, for this room was just across the hall from the nursery. Cousin Tom, who had become an orphan about a year before and who bad lived with the Stani'ords ever since, was the only per- son besides Mr. Stanford who knew of the new addition to the contents of the safe. He had always been a wild, reckless sort of a lad, and suspicion rested strongly upon hiin. Now the eventful day was over and Bobby and Billy were thinking. "Bobby," said Billy, "they say it's Tom." "Billy, maybe they'll put him in prison, where thsre'll be lions and things, and he'll be all eaten up! he moaned. "No," said the other, "he'll be "But hung." he. didu't do it," said Billy. "No, he didn't Billy; we like Tom, don't we?" "No, wo love him." "Theu we won't let them take him to be hu"ng." now?" queried the matter-of-fac- t Billy. But at this moment Jane was seen to ap-proach, and Tom's sturdy little defenders were pounced upon and marched off to bed. "Wait till she's gone," Billy whispered, "then we'll talk some more." As the B.'s went to bed unusually late that evening, and the family retired quite early, every one was souud asleep before the con-ference was over iu the nursery. When, after much debate, the little detectives had decided that the real thief must be traced to save Cousin Tom, they settled down to sleep. Billy was already in the land of Nod. while THE LITTLE RUNAWAY. "I will run away this very day, I will, I will!" exclaimed little Nellie Barker, stamp-ing her right foot very hard on the bedroom lloor, and then throwing herself down on the tiny white bed to- - bewail her wrongs anew. They were not such very great wrongs, but they seemed very gigantic to Nellie. First of all Kitty Peyton had come over just after breakfast to ask Nellie to go walking. But mamma said she could not go until her practicing was done. So Kitty went away and Nellie went into the darkened, sweet-smellin- g music room to whack away at the hateful old scales and exercises. But sho banged the ivory keys so bard that mamma came in to say she must not show her tem-per. Then Nellie had said something sharp back and mamma had sent her to her room to think it over. She was thinking it over, and she had concluded to run away. She rose presently from the bed and looked around to see what she should take with her. "I cau't carry my trunk," she said, look- - ing regretfully at the pretty steamer trunk in the corner. "No, I shall have to carry a eatchel." ' She crept out quietly and stole up the attic. There were two satchels tip there, both of thorn big, black shiny affairs which weighed nearly as much at Nelly when they were empty. "I'll take them both," she said. So she tugged them down stairs. It was lard work, for Nelly was only seven years old, but she managed it. Then she put in all her dresses, some books, a few keep-sakes, and by this time the satchels were nearly full. Bobby was fast jretting there, when the lat-ter suddenly imagined he saw, by the small light in the hall, some one. cross the study door. "Hilly," he whispered, shaking his brother excitedly; "Oh, Billy, he's back again!" 'Who:'" asked that worthy, sleepily. "The pickle man?" "Oh, Billy, it's the stealer roan, and wo can't pass the door to call mamma, 'cause he'll get away, and oh, Billy, you get your "NV'ilcl West lasso and I'll scare him with my gun, and then we'll yell!" Billy was wide awake now and followed his brother's wise plan without comment, in less time than it takes to teil it two white, frightened figures tip-toe- d across the hall aud peered in. The safe was wide open, while a white figure was lifting one corner of the carpet. With a terrible warwhoop the lasso flew into the air and caught the intruder's arm, while Bobby, not heeding what he said in the excitement, yelled at the top of his lungs: "If you dou't want to get shooted, come right along and get hung!" The noise had roused the household and fright-ened faces now began to appear iu the door-way. And then the queerest thing hap-pened. The man, who bad been dragged to the floor now seemed to rouse himseli and Billy roared: "Why, it's papa!" and buried his face in his mother's skirt, while Bobby followed suit, kicking snd howling lustily. While the twins were being quieted it was discovered that the supposed thief was in-deed Mr. Stanford. alLhonch the latter had There was just a tiny corner empty, and Jselly looked at this thoughtfully for a long time. Then she tiptoed carefully down the back stairs and asked Jane for a lunch Jane, who was the best-nature- d girl in the world, gave her two sandwiches, a wedge of cake, some sliced dried beef, and two scal-loped cookies with raisins in the center. Then she crept back again, pausing long enough to hear mamma in the parlor, talk-ing to Mrs. Bate, who had come to call. "She's safe and won't see me, and papa is away. I'll go at once," thought Nellie. She grasped the satchels bravely and etarted downstairs again. There was a small door at the foot of the staircase opening on the side garden. Nellie opened it and passed ont, screened by the high hedge, very cantiously she trudged along the un-used path until she reached the main road. Then she set off briskly in the direction of a neighboring town. "I don't know where I'll go," she said, "but plenty of people will be glad to have lue, rm sure. Mercy! how heavy these atchels are!" 8o they were; as heavy as lead, and a curious-lookin- g figure was the little girl tugging them along. Presently she came to a big shady tree by the roadside. "I feel very hungry," she said. "I'll sit down here and eat my lunch Jane gave me and rest." 8o she sat down between the two satchels, opened one and took out the lunch. First she ate the sandwiches, then the cake aud dried beef, and then she started on one scalloped cookie. "I almost wish I hadn't come," she said as he took the first bite. "Those satchels are so heavy, and I'm so tired. I must have come miles and miles. I never was down this road before." Another nibble at the cookie. "And I'll never see baby brother gain, nor papa, nor anybody. Oh! I'm ure I with Td never come." And with that she began to cry, and presently sho fell fisleep under the tree with the tears dry on Ler cheeks and the cookie in her hand. After a long time a man came driving flown over the hill beyond. He came nearer and nearer, and finally he got just opposite the tree. He drew rein as he saw the curi-ous little figure asleep there. Then he jumped out and went toward it. "Somebody's child is lost," he said, and then he went over to look at the face which ' was turned away from him. "Why l it's my Noll!" ho exclaimed, and ! then he picked her up. "Hello, papa!" she said, sleepily, as she looked up. "Let's go home." And so they did. And many a time Nel- - no idea of how he happened to be in the study. But on second thought he remem-bered that he had been troubled with sleep-walking more than once in his youth and the anxiety about the papers had, no doubt, caused him to hide them more carefully un-der the carpet without, however, rememberi-ng- it at all next day. As is customary in such cases, he had gone through all the mo-tions of the previous night again. When Billy and Bobby were once more marched off to bed, there was not a more triumphant pair of twins to be found any-where, while Bobby's last words were: "We said we wouldn't let Cousin Tom be hunged." Next evening two little boys, looking very much like our friends of last evening, sat on either side of the fire in the nursery, while each little lap was almost filled with a huge box of bonbons. Bobby stretched out a plump little hand and the tireiight shone on something bright around one tiny finger that had not been there last evening. Billy's hand was held out, too. "Ah," said Billv. "Oh," said Bobby. lie s papa laugnea at -- eine ior running away with two big Sitchels, and not getting any further away than the next farm, where he found her. And Nellie laughed, too. She ! did when she told me about it, for Nellie wag I a real live little girl once, and this story is a true once.

The following poem is considered a literary gem. The original is found in an Irish MS. in Trinity college, Dublin. Tuere is reason to thirk that the poem was written by one of those prim-itive Christian bards in the reifrn of King iJiarmid about the year 554, and v, as sung or chanted at the last grandaesembly of k.nirs, cii.eftains and brds ever held in the' famous nail of Tara. The tiauslation is by the learned Dr. Douovau.J Like a damask rose yon see, Or like a blossom ou a tree, Or l.ke a daiuty nouer in iay, Or like the morning t the day, Or like the sun, or Iiko the shade, Or like the gourd w hich Jonah had, Even such is man, whofe thread is spun, Drawn out ami out and so is done.

In fact ho had, what seems to be rare with Celestials, a strong desire to be-come a master of the English tongue. He had taken the traveler to the South Pearl ball, where the shrine of the "Queen of Heaven" is ornamented with handsome gilded carvings in wood. The Englishman admired the work and in-quired: "What are the vessels on the altar made of?" "All answered Ah Choy.

Presently, however, his prido had a fall, for be pronounced the word "village" as if it bnd been spelled "woolwich," aud his pa-tron felt obliged to correct him. Ah Choy was crestfallen, and when the Englishman proposed moving on he forgot hi r's in his confusion and answered, "Velly well." "1 wonder," he remarked a little later, "if I went to England and studied for three years I could speak English just like Englishmen?" "Oh, yes," said bis mentor, "knowing so much already, you might do it in half that time." Then the true object of Ah C'hoy'a ambi-tion was disclosed. "Yes," he said, with brightening face, ' and then I could write an English poem." PRATTLE.

He has been in the habit of praying for bis mother'6 visitors, but she has had a lot of company this summer, and the other night Fritz got tired. lie began with "God bless papa," and went bravely through the list till his knees ached. Then ha asked: "Mamma, don't you 8' pose Mrs. 'a chillen can take care of 'emselves one night? God an' I have got all we can 'tend to." Bertie's father has been very ill and Ber-tie has not seen hiin for weeks. Bertie takes off his shoes the minute he comes into the house and puts on the soft slippers he keeps behind the door. But the other night Ber-tie forcot, he laughed out loud at the foot of the stairs. Bertie's father was a little bet-ter, fortunately, aud in a few minutes his inoiner came aown stairs, "rapa neara you laugn," she said; "and he wants you to do it again." Every afternoon now Bertie gits on the lowest stair in the hall. "Say sumefin funny, mamma," he begs; say sometin funny, so I can laugh, and it'll make papa get well to hear me." Estelle is getting bewildered in the mazes of grammar. Her teacher asked her yester-day to compare the adjective "ill." Estelle did so thus, "ill, worse, dead." Her teacher told of it at the boardinghouse table and added the story of a boy who conjugated, "go, go it, got there." Ab Clioj's Ambition. An "Anglo-India- n Globe-Trotter- " was in Canton, and for assistance in sight-seein- g engaged the services of a young Chinese, AU Choy by name. The boy bad picked up The Champion Boy Soldier. Master Clifford Grapes is really a remark-able little fellow. Ue is not yet S years old, has a pretty face, a fair complexion, light hair and blue eyes, lie is the champiou boy soldier of America, and handles the gun and sword with ns much dexterity and skill as would the oldest war veteran. Clillord's home is in the state where were born such heroic soldiers as Generals Grant and Gartield Ohio. He has a full 'company of uniformed boys in Hamilton, where his parents reside. Only a year ajro he won liXH) at a Grsnd army fair, held in Nash-ville, Tenn., for superior excellence in drill-ing. His competitors In this contest were all men. As the competition progressed Clifford was applauded loudly. Several of the men were so surprised at the little fel-low's ability that they became what the boys call "rattled," and gave up in desoair before the trial was half completed. Clifford not only received the prize, says the New York Recorder, but was soon after presented with a gold medal by the proprietor of the daily newspaper. This is "not the only medal that now adorns tne proud mue iettow s coat, ior he had quite a dozen before he received this one. Conspicuous among them are three given him by the great soldiers, Generals Sherman, Sheridan and Hancock. Clifford spent nearly all of last winter in New York giving exhibitions. He was an especial favorite with the junior department boys at the Young Men's Christian associa-tion. He was often about their rooms and gymnasium mingling with Ihem in their sports. A special outing was arranged for ou his behalf by the secretary of the depart-ment, and one Saturday atternoon he, in company with a score or more other boys, made an excursion to Governor's Island, where he was received by General O. O. Howard, who treated him as though he were some titled nobleman. Among other courtesies shown, he ordered the then closed museum to be opened, and the whoie party to visit it with a guide. He also entertained the boys on the nautical training school ship, St. Mary's. Clifford has several uniforms which he wears in his exhibition as an oflicer, cavalry-man and private.

A pin and a needle, beinjr neighbors in a work-baske- t, and both being idle folk, began to quarrel, as idle folk, are apt to do. 'I should like to know," said the pin, "what you are pood for, and how you ex-pect to get through the world without a head." "What is the use of your head," replied the needle, rather sharply, "if you have no eye?" "What is the use of an eye," said the pin, "if there is always something in it?" "I am more active, and can go through more work than you can," said the needle. "Yes, but you will not live long, because you have always a stitch in the side," said the pin. "You are a poor, crooked creature," said the needle. "And you are so proud that you can't bend without breaking your back." "I'll pull your head off if you insult me again." "I'll pull your eye out if you touch me; remember, your life hangs ou a single thread," said the pin. "While they were thus conversing a little girl entered, and, undertaking to sew, bhe very soon broke off the needle at the eye. She then tied the thread around the neck of the piu and attempted to sew with it, but pulled its head off and threw it into the dirt by the side of the broken needle. "Well, here we are," said the needle. "We have nothing to tight about now," said the pin. "It seems misfortune has brought us to our senses." "A pity we had not come to them sooner," said the needle. "How much we resemble human beings, who quarrel about their blessings till they lose them, and never iind out they are brothers till they lie down in the dust together, as we do." The Golden Aire. When Strephon's flocks were straying Upon the Grecian slopes, His happy thoughts kept playing With just the self-sam- e hopes As I. for months, have cherished Alout a K'rl I know: yet Strephon lived and perished Two thousand years ago. Ah, then love was a possloa Within the reach of all Before the car of fashion Drove poor men to the wall.

It is interesting to note the early age at which the young idea, in some infants, be-gins to shoot regardless of any especial teaching, says the New York Recorder. When Jack was eighteen months old his mother took him from the city, where the boundary of his small world had" been that part of Cen-tral park l3"ing between the tennis grounds and the upper lake, to a farmhouse in the mountains at Liberty. On the stage ride from the station he hailed each passing tree as a "yittle piece of a park." At the farm- - house one of his chief delights consisted in watciiing a iiock ot wauaiing, solemn geese. Two months later baby Jack went to the sea-shore to finish his summer outing, and at the sight of the catboats which dotted the water with their white sails be clspped his dimpled brown hands, crying out, "( mamma, bee 'e pitty dooso boats " Konald wa 5 years old when he fell ill with scarlet fever and was quarantined in the nursery with mamma as nurse. During his convalescence th doctor cautioned mamma not to let anything come into the sick room except such articles as could either be scalded or burned. Ronald looked very grave when he heard this repeated several times and lookinar up from tin and wooden soldiers which ho was marshaling on the sewing board, said "Mamma, these can be scalded or burned, but what are you going to do with meV" Charlie is a little boy with a peculiarly mixed lot of relations. He has among others a great-aunt- , a step-uncl- e and some step-brother- s and sisters, to say nothing of a grandfather and a r. The other day, after his brother had left the house to escort a young lady home, Charlie said: "Mamma, if Harry marries will he be my brother just the same a he is now'" "Certainly, said mamma, "why do you ask?" "I thought maybe he miht be my step-brothe- r or a grand or great something or other," and Charlie gave a little sigh as if he felt that life held some puzzling problems. Tommy's School.
