THE SIREN.
The nigh; ,s drear and lonely, and it seems to
never end,
As onward toward an unknown Bea, my weary
' "
steps I bend;
And I would fall beside the way, it seems so
very long,
If ’twere not for the haunting strains of a
delusive song.
There is a cruel Siren ever singing unto me,
Of a bright and happy future, and of things
that are to he.
And her songs they are enchanting, as beneath
a pallid moon,
She chants of bounteous harvests and a
golden-freighted June.
And she has sung those songs to me through
all the weary years;
And I have watched and waited long in
hopeful, silent tears,
Awatching and awaiting for the happy things
to be,
That this cruel, cruel, Siren sings so constantly
to me.
But still tho night grows darker, and the
moon stemB on the waue,
As o'er my rough and dreary way still falls that
mocking strain,
And still I struggle onward toward a distant,
unknown sea, !
While ibis deceitful Siren Binge of things that !
are to be. 1

MADGE. |
j *
It was a very poorly furnished room
in a cottage home; a small cottage, one
of many, all small, “hands” mean and scantily j
furnished, and the lived there, j
This one was Morgan’s cottage, and it ]
was Jack Morgan himself and his sister
Madge who were seated at breakfast,
lingering, as was possible only tall, on well- Sun- j
day morning. S' was a j
formed, strikingly handsome girl of 19, j \
as she sat facing her brother, who was
some five years older ; and upon her ;
face was an eager, troubled look, while i
he was sullen and downcast. Yonng ;
been as they were, they had seen better days; !
educated up to three years pro- j
vious to that June morning, and then
been thrown suddenly upon their own ;
resources.
jack fought his way, sullen and re
sentful, making few friends and seeking
none. Madge was the braver of the
two, meeting their reverses with quiet .
courage, and bringing energy, trust and
cheerfulness to the mean cottage home.
Just one week had elapsed since an
aunt, from whom they never hoped for
aid, had left them each a hundred
pounds, and Jack had resolved to try
his fortune in Canada, while Madge put
hers aside for a rainy day.
“I’ll stay here until you are sure of
success, Jack,'. she said, when he urged
her to join him, “and keep a home for
you in case that you need one.”
“Do you call this hole a home?” he
asked bitterly, and she only smiled and
answered;
“A shelter, then.”
But she was not smiling when she sat
at the Sunday breakfast, eating little,
brooding sadly, until suddenly she
cried:
“Jack, we must do something. Think
what we owe Tom King.”
“Owe him J I believe we have paid
him ever/ jiingr,” said Jack, sbi “Know; ’ * 1
, J
but we can never pay him what we still
owe him.”
“Bah ! Don’t be sentimental, Madge.”
“Common gratitude is not sentiment
alone, Jack. Jack,” she repeated.
“can you forget who came to us in that
sore need, paid doctor and butcher and
then buried our mother beside father in
the cemetery!” forget,” her brother
“And do you re
plied, almost angrily, “how we worked
and saved, starved and perished, until
every shilling of the money was in Tom
King’s pocket again ?”
“I know ! 1 know ! But think how
kind he was—how he helped you and
me to get our situations in the mills,
and how delicately he made the loans of
money, And now, oh, Jack, I must do
something.” ? If Tom King

Bin isiaage was tool the in morning, tne sense while ne
meant. All through while she
she put the house in order,
dressed in her quiet mourning for church,
even through the service there, she was
thinking of what she owed Tom King.
When her mother, crushed by tbe death
of her husband, unable to" meet the
change from comfort to poverty, sank
down prostrated; when Jack, unable to
work, was cursing fortune, Tom King
came, as their father’s friend, and kept
them from starvation. Madge’s thought- heart
glowed as she remembered how
ful he was about sparing her trouble in
everv sTe, wav. He was considerably older
than and a grave, reserved man,
whom she regarded with the affectionate
respect she would have given her father,
but with that same reverence she loved
him deeply. And when the whole town
knew that Tom King lay in tne New
town hospital, sick and pennile.s8, the
whole noble, grateful heart of Madge
Morgan went out to him. Many stories
reached her. He had wbI* a fortune
and lost; he had invested in mines, and
tbe mines had failed and ruined him; he
had been engaged, according to the
Fewtown gossips, in a dozen different
speculations, winning vast sHms only to
lose them. But one broad, indisputa
ble fact remained, if all the rest were
false- he was lying in the hospital sick the
from the excitement that had put
last stroke npon his ill luck.
Dinner over Madge put on her bon
net again.

looks, and went on her errand.
Here, upon a low, iron cot-bed, pale
and emaciated, but evidently on the
road to recovery, Tom King lay, when
Madge Morgan came up to the ward
with a nurse, her face so grave and ten¬
der that the strong will and patient en¬
durance of its usual expression were lost
in the pure womanly sympathy that
rested there.
“My friend!” she said, taking the
wasted hand extended to her, and Tom
King wondered if ever two words held
so much as those two.
“Why, Madge!” he said, presently,
looking into her eyes misty with tears,
“do not feel so badly. I’m gaining
every day. The doctor says he will
have me on my feet hi ft week, and I in
going abroad again.”
“Again. When you have been so un¬
fortunate there ?”
“Eh? Oh, I see 1” he said, with an
odd look in his eyes; “you’ve been read¬
ing the papers. Unlucky, wasn’t I f”
“Tes. But, Tom—I came to tell yon.
—” the words came slowly—“I have
some money that—that is of no use tc
me. It will start yob again, I——”
“You want nm to take it ?”
“You can borrow ir, n anxious not to
hurt liis pride, “and some day—when
you are rich—you can return it. ”
“Yes ! I see ! Have you got it with
you ?”
“I thought I would bring it with me,”
she said, her face Hushed with pleasure,
“and here it is.”
He opened the envelope and took it
out, one note, just as the lawyer had
sent it to her. Tom King laid it on the
broad palm of his hand and stroked it
tenderly.
“All your wealth, Madge ?” be asked.
“Not while I have these,” and she
held up Jier hands. “I am so glad,
though, that I have it.”
He lay very quiet, looking steadily at
the note for some minutes; then he be
gan to speak, his eyes still fixed on the
money, his voice steady but monoto
nous, as if he were reading a story
there.
“When I went away, nearly three
years ago,” lie said, “I went to see if I
could not shake myself free I from could a
dream I had. I dreamed that
win the love of a child, a mere slip of a
girl, who was forced into premature wo
manhood by trouble. She was utterly
unconscious of my love, but I knew I
could not hide it it I staved beside her.
Out of her sight, far from the sound of
her voice, the dream, instead of fading,
became clearer, more vivid. Day well, and
night I dreamed, but I worked as
I put what money 1 had into in vest
ments that promised well—but there, I
will not speak of that. Providence was
merciful. I am alive, at least-” lie
paused there, but a low, sweet voice
took up the story.
“And the dream will become a real
ity,” the voice said, ‘Tho child-womau
did not read her own heart, nor unrter
stand w^y nothing in her life met or
filled the longing there. Not until
sharp sorrow came, and she heard of
him she loved lying ill and in poverty
aud pain, did she understand that he
took all the love she could ever know
away with him.”
“And now, Madge ?”
“It shall be as you say. I love yon. I
am young and strong, and I think I
can be a help and not a burden to you.”
“Will you be my wife, Madge ?”
“Whenever you will.”
“Madge, did you think, mydear, that
I was ruined ? Because I was sick and
came here to be nursed, people jumped
at the conclusion that I lost everything.

And even Jack was satisfied, some
thing of his sullen temper being lost
when he once more found himself on
the road to prosperity.
Restitution After Many Years.

I have always had a horror of opiates

through the blood like a wolf on the

Curtis lived at one of these ranches
years ago, and though a quiet, mind
your-own-bnsiness fellow, who had ab¬
solutely no enemies among his com¬
panions, he had the misfortune to incur
tho wrath of a tramp sheep-herder, who
waylaid Curtis one afternoon and shot
him dead as he sat in his buggy. Cur¬
tis wasn’t armed. He didn’t dream of
trouble till he drove home from town,
and as he passed through the gate ot a
corral saw the hairy face of the herder
and at the samo moment tho flash of a
Winchester rifle. That was all.
A rancher came into town and tele¬
graphed to Curtis’s father, and then a
half dozen citizens went out to help cap¬
ture the herder, who had lied to the
sage brush ot the foot-hills.
They didn’t get back till toward day¬
break, but they brought the herder with
them. I saw him in the gray of the
morning lying in a coarse gray blanket
on the floor of tho engine-house. He
was dead.
I asked, ns a reporter, how he came to
his death, and they told me—opium! I
said, “Did I understand you to say
‘ ropium ?’ ” They said no, it was opium.
