He weut from house to bouse Helling uuy little article he could get a dealer to trust him with, and blH life wa* passed principally In looking In at doors which were Hlam-! mod in his face. One day. receiving no answer to his ring at a handsome i residence, he tried the knob. opened the door and walked in. H earing no sound, he recouuoltered an far as the second story, from a back window of which he saw u woman iu the yard hanging up clothes. The premises had evidently been left In her care. Pull­ ing opeu a bureau drawer, he saw a j bo:; and. opening the box. a small for­ tune lu Jewels. The human mind Is capable o f great deli Iteration iu a very Hina II «pace of time. Ell H a lt’ s certainly was. He had never stolen or robbed. Indeed, he hud calculated the chances of such methods and knew they were decided­ ly against dishonesty. The goods were usually recovered, and the thief went to state prison. Platt concluded to take the Jewels, hide them, suffer the consequences of the theft and when a free man again recover the treasure and take a good long com fortable rest. H e decided and acted deliberately, not on the usual Impulse o f a thief. That night he took the jew els to a block on whi< h the only building was a brick Juukshop. Somebody had once taught him to find the noriii star by the pointer Hturs, so he took thirty steps from the northwest corner o f the junkshop toward the north star, stop­ ped and, with a rusty shovel he found outside the juukshop, dug a hole and buried his treasure. H e hud been seen com ing aw ay with the Jewels and when they were misseu wus arrested. Identified and sent to the penitentiary. Seven years later Ell Platt, just dis­ charged, sauntered by the block where he hud buried the Jewels A number o f buildings had been erected; but. f >r tuuately for Eli, he recognize« 1 the juuk shop, though it was now used for a fee* I store. He looked toward the spot where he had buried hi.» treasure and saw that it was covered by the rear end o f a chapel. Th * roof o f til end was rounded up to a point, on which was a cross. I f his mind was capable o f delibera­ tion, It was a ln ca able o f call ug i? pictures. # As he looked at the cross he saw an old womun kneeling at an altar. She was h s mother. Then he saw himself toddling along by her side to church, later his confirmation. Am i now the treasure he had taken from another and h id Buffered seven long years to possess was sheltered by a sacred temple guarded by the holy emblem o f the cross. L ife, like the world, is o f tw o hem­ ispheres. To pass from one earthly hemisphere to another may require weeks, perhaps months. A passage from one spiritual hemisphere to an­ other may be accomplished in u -frac­ tion o f a second. As Eli looked qp at what as a child he hud beeu taught to reverence It occurred to him thai It had been placed over his treasure that no hand should profane 1 !. F what purpose? To save his soul. By whom? Pho who had Ion - passed to her heavenly borne—his mother. In n twinkling h * was changed. In a tw inkling that w h ’ch In prl on he had looked forward to longingly count Ing the days between him and its pos­ session. had become only a m oms by which lie ml "lit h ' rescued from evil.
