DAN CUPID'S PENANCE, Sao Cnpld once, in penitential mood As Lent drew near. Impelled by Coa science's pricks, Resolved to try hU turn at being good, And Issued cards "At home from 4 till 0." Ilia guests came flocking at hi royal call, And dimpled cupidx, dressed 'In smiles and wings, Served tea ambrosial nectar to them all With heart-shaped sandwiches and more good things. When all were served Dan Cupid took the floor, "My friends, before you leave me to go borne Some trite advice I'm going to give once more, And each a gift,, for use In time to come. There'? many a one of you I'll give no name Who owes to me a husband or a wife; Some, being happy, bless utc; some for all are not the same Blame mc for their uuhappy married life. "My conscience vexed me sore for those whom Fate. Fcrbaps through mc has treated most unkind; But here's a remedy, e'en though It seems too late, A sovereign cure and panacea you'll find. "You know love should lie blind," he archly said, and passed A 'kerchief, neatly folded, to each gnest; "When matrimonial seas are rough, with tcary clouds o'ercast, Bind this on both fault-finding eyes; j then, being sightless tct love do tb rest." Puck. paHE had nerved herself to meet 2)jber father; She glanced la the '"'mirror ami saw how pale she "was. Her father would be pale, too, but how different bis pallor from her own his a pallor like uoue other lti the vorld. A shiver passed over her. Did she love her father? Her anger went out to him, not her love; her love was for Jack, and he could never be anything w ner. Last fright she had written to Jack and told lilm the truth, and the truth would separate them forever. She was the daughter of a thief! What useleswueas It had been for her mother to move huudreds of miles from the old home; It had been done for the tusband, not for the daughter. For the daughter there had been a half year's residence In this new place, and a learning to love a man whom she bad last night declined to marry. Her fa ther had wrought this uuhapplness as he had wrought so much more. What grief Imd not her father wrought! The day he went to prison for the defalcation in the bank where He bad been cashier and her mother's father manager, had not her" mother's father fallen dead? The world had aid the old banker could not stand the disgrace. And what more? Had not her mother's mother, always an Invalid, been stricken by her husband's death, and never beeu told of her son-in-law's crime? There lmU'lec'u a mass of de ception, the poor, feeble woman being ted to believe that her daughter's bus pand, whom she loved as a son, bad sone away on business, and letters writ ten In his prison cell bud been read to ter, and they told her of great pros perity In the West, with a cheerfulness th.at was appalling. Yes. the girl al most hated her father as she thought over the events of the past four years. And yet, would she huve hated him save for Jack? She pressed her hands fiercely to her eyes. Suddenly she started; there was a step on the stairs, her mother was bringing her father up to her. How .should she meet him? Had It not been loving and true wife till God should part us In death. We always spoko of you, mother nnd I." "Your mother," his dry lips sold, "where Is she?" His wife caught bis hand. "Dear," she said, "can you bear a little more?" He looked at her. "Annie," she said, sternly, "get mc those letters." The girl went nnd took from the book case a packet, which she brought lo her mother. "My letters to your mother," the man's lips seemed to say, "nnd un opened." His wife fondled his hand. "It was only a few months ago," sho said. "I could not tell you the truth, any more than I could tell her. The truth would have made you unhappler, and I wished to tell you myself. She loved you as she loved mc. One morn ing one of your letters came, and until I could rend It her she asked me to let her hold It. An hour later we found her with the letter held up to her heart, and she was very white nnd quiet There had been no struggle whatever no pain. We laid her beside father, whom she had never ceased grieving for, and who had given her every com fort In life, even when, I am sure, he could hardly afford the extravagances ordered by her physicians. It Is nil over, and happily over, for both of them, dear, nnd you .were always kind and good to them." A low, long sigh broke from the man. Then silence fell; the sound of the tram lells In the street came distinctly to them, and the ticking of the clock on the mantel was strangely loud. There was a movement on the part of Annie; she rose and came and kneeled beside her father's chair. "Father," she said, "you must forgive me. I am not very happy. I do not mean to be hard, but I can't go back from my reasoning. You have not only mother, but you have me also; I will do what I can, I am sure you know that, and-af ter a while you will not miss any thing In me." "Go back to your seat," commanded her mother. "Do you know that you are In the presence of a broken heart? Doesn't your father accuse himself of more than you accuse him of? Who are you, with your paltry love troubles, to come to him In a time like thlsi" "Hush, Mary!" said her .husband, "hush!" The silence fell again. Annie sat alone; she was apart from everything; there was no love for her any more. Heratbcr had expiated his sin In the eyes' of the world; In her heart the sin that had been bis still lived. For there was Jack, and she had given him up because of her father's guilt. There was a narrowing of the radius; no matter for Jack. If her fa ther were only an Innocent man! Love surely created a desire for purity, for, since she had learned to love Jack, her father's sin had grown and grown upon her, and before that the sin had been tempered by her pitying love and her prayers for heaven's forgiveness. The daughter of a thief! Ob, why bad she met Jack? Why had she al lowed herself to care for him? Why had she let herself feel glad when she knew that he loved her? Why had she When his hand was laid upon her inn ' mp A TXT TJOHTUNfl- A RTl h nlmnt lirlk.,t nlon.l JL.ll...ii uuw.v "Annie!" said her father's voice. It was .1 firm voice now, no quaver of doubt in It, nnd It forced her like a command she dared not disobey. She rose from her seat mid faced Mm. Despite the physical changes In him, she saw before- her his old self strong, not unbruve, not disloyal, not a crimi nal. "You have given up your lover," ho went on, rapidly. "You have given him up because of me. Pay attention to me. I will tell you whnt I had hoped never to tell a living soul on earth. And I must speak before your mother conies back, for she must never know. Hut you must kuow, nnd the man who hud nsked you to be his wife and whom you refused on account of uie. I will go to Mm, nnd I will tell him ns I tell you, that I have wrecked no life, that I have, not wrecked my daughter's happiness. Do you hear me? I have not Interfered with your right to be happy with the man you love. I have lieen adjudged a criminal; I have served a criminal's sentence. Hut I am an luuocent man," and he turned nnd poluted to the pic ture of his wife's father, "that man knew It. 1 sacrlllced, not your mother, not you, but my own standing lu so ciety nnd the minds of men for the sake of my wife's father nud his Invalid wife." She gasped, she understood him. and I she trembled from head to foot. "I would uover have told you." he went on, "ouly that you gave up' your life's happiness because of my disgrace. Your forfeited love for me would never I have brought this confession, for what I did was done to save an old man and an old woman who had been as a moth er to me. If nature could not muke your love surmount my shame, that love Is of little account. Your mother's father's sin made me n prisoner; It wns he who took the tnouey, nnd 1 the blame. I have proofs of nil this, and I am glad I never destroyed them, for I must sJiow those proofs to the daugh ter whose lack of love makes my word of no account." "Father!" There was a quality lu her cry that told him more than many words; she sprang to bis arms, her heart held close ly to his he was Innocent; he was In nocent; and though her life's greater love might be over and done, the man wJ- had asked her to marry Mm bad not loved the daughter of a thief! There was some one In the room, though neither of them heeded till the girl's name was spoken by the new comer. "Jack!" she cried out, and clung the closer to her father; "Jack!" "You did not hear me knock." said he. "I came to tell you that I refuse to obey your note; you love uie as I love you. and you will be my wife. And coming In here, I have heard what your father said to you. Your father will he not let me call him mlneV" Her father's head was raised, and he looked deeply Into the young man's eyes. "Well, well," said the hustling voice of the wife, coming into the library. "And Jack here!

From the developments of the last few months or n year It would seem that train robbing Is not yet lo bo classed among tbo lost nrts. The fact that the robberies seem to bo occurring once more with a very disagreeable fre quency Is all the more alarming Ui view of the fact that holding up of trains .s supposed to bo becoming more illllleult us the years go by. Thu exprost can of to-day are guarded more carefully than ever before. More men with better guns are behind thu locked doors iitul the money nud valuables stowed uwuy in the strongest safes that can bu man ufactured. However, despite all the protection thrown about the treasure that Is being transported and desplto the great risk of losing life or liberty, which risk must be run by the rubber, mere are nevertheless men who nre willing uud ready td undertake the Job of stopping the train, holding up the train crew nud passengers, blowing open the express If necessary, overcom ing thu messenger nud dymiuiitlug Un safe. The number of bandits who have un dertaken this Job within u year or so Is ample proof that thu days of thu desperado arc not yet past by any means. A year ago a train wns held up almost within tho shadow of Chi cago, the express car and safe blown open nud somewhere between $:!(),0'J0 nnd $100,000 stolen. A number of sus pects were arrested, but to this day. so far as known, tho guilty pintles wen; never apprehended.

How many sadly confused questions did she put to herself as she sat there In thu miserable silence, her mother and her father at a greater distance from her than they had ever been before, while she vainly tried to accuse her heart and her daughterly affection of transgressing, even though Jack called through the silence, that, but for her father's crime, she might have claimed woman's perfect happiness on earth. Her mother and her father apparent ly fulled to realize bow much she was going through; It was only her lack of response to their love that touched them. Her adoration of a man who might have been her husband was merely a foolishness of hers, and not to be placed In the same category with her duty as a daughter tho daughter of a thief!
