Roger loves you, Alice. Jle has loved you all these long, weary years, though you will at least believe 1 did not know it them’ “Poor Roger!’ Alice said softly. ‘You care about him? you wi make him happy even at this late hourt Tell me Alice, that you love my brother 1’ ‘Yes, Mr. (jourlny, Ido. Why should I deny it? 1 have loved him always, though I did not know that he cared about me, and if the little life that is left me can make him happier, I witl devote it to him gladly, proudly—poor Roger! You sec I am too old for pretenses, Mr. Holiday, and I fear I am dyin thoreibre, 1 tell you all.’ ‘Dying, Alice? Mo, no! you will live many years yet, I hope, to make my dear brother happy brave, loyal, great-hearted Roger. Let me scud him to you now, and, Alice, for my old and long affectionate’s sake, make him happy. He de serves it, and that is the only way I can ever help to repay the devo tion of his life.’ ‘I love him,’ Alice replied Bim- ply, ‘I cannot do any more.’ In their lodging John Gourlay found his brother pacing restlessly up and down. ‘Roger, I've found out your se cret and hers,’ he said, laying both his hands on his shoulders; ‘loyal, faithful friend, go to her; she loves you, she is waiting for you.’ ‘Poor Alice! how she must have suffered!' ‘How we all have suffered 1 hut it's nearly over now, Roger—the grief, pain, regret. It’s all clear and bright. Roger, dear friend, can you forgive me;’ ‘Forgive you, John? Say rath er cun you forgive me?’ ‘True to the last,’ John murmur ed as he wrung his brother’s hand. ‘Now, Roger, go to her; she is waiting for you. She loves you— loves you, Roger! Good-bye, and may 3-011 both be happy!' Late that evening, when Roger Gourlay returned home full of a deep, quiet gladness, lie found his brother sitting in an easy chair near the window, apparently asleep. The full moon shone down on his pale face and showed a stnilo on his lips; his hands were clasped on an open book that rested on his knee. The attitude was life-like, but at the very first glance Roger felt that his brother was dead. The doctors said he ha' 1 , dud of disease of the heart. Perhaps they’ were right. More people die of that malady than the world knows of. ‘Always pay as you go/ said an old man to las nephew. ‘Rut,uncle, suppose I haven’t anything to pay withf ‘Then don’t go.’ Kick your corn through a win dow-glnss, and the pane is gone for ever. A boy who can’t walk half a mile on an errand because he is so tired, will ride a bycycle ten miles, atul then get mad because the sun goes down so quickly .-Oil City Derrick, The idea that gunpowder and whisky will make a soldier feel brave is all nonsense. Put him be- luud a stone wall if you want to see his spine stiffen. ‘Bridget, what became of the tallow I greased my boots with this morning;’ ‘I fried the buckwheats in it.’ ‘Oh, I was afraid you had wasted it.’ II N©©&!.©® SALE Jerninn’sSior Clie& A t hml a t/011st i t ut ion. mv!
