THE PEACEMAKER.
Two soldiers, lying they fell
Udob the reddened clay
In daytime foes; at night. In peace
Breathing their Uvea away.
Brave heart had stirred each manly breajt;
Fate only made them foes.
And lying, dying, side by side
softened feeling rose.
Our time la short." one faint rolce said;
"To-day we've done our best
On different sides. What matters now?
To-morrow we're at rest
Life Ilea behind; 1 might not car
For only my own ake,
But far away are other hearts
That this day's work will break.
"Among old Hampshire's pleasant fields
There pray for me to-night
A woman and a Uttle girl
With hair like golden light"
And at that thought broke forth at last
The cry of anguish wild
That would no longer be repressed-
"Oh, God! my wife and child!" j
"And," said the other dying man,
"Across the sandy plain
There watch and wait for ma loved ones
I'll never see sgaln.
A little girl with dark, bright eyes
Each day waits at the door;
The father's step, the father's kiss, ?
Will never meet her more.
To-day we sought each other's lives;
ueatn levels all that now,
For soon before God's mercy-seat
Together we shall bow.
Forgive each other while we may;
Ufa's but a weary game,
And, right or wrong, the morning sun
Will find us dead, the sums."
The dying lips the pardon breathe,
The dying hands entwine;
The last ray dlin, and over all
The stars frum huuvun shine.
The little girl with oMen hair.
And one with durk ayv bright,
On llampHhlre's fields and sandy plain
Were futherleMs that night.

$ Eve and the Apple j
j ny uwea uuver.
EVE and an apple overcame an an
cestor of mine. He would not have
wanted the upple, ho mill, but for
Eve. That was exactly my cane.
Kve lived at No. S3 and I at No. 64.
I am not aure where the apple lived,
but it waa at one of the two. It hung
on a high brunch over N'o. M' gar
den, but it fattened on the loll of No.
64, for whirl) paid rent.
It waa Kve, of course., who called
my attention to it. I heard her voice
through the open window. She hui
an attractive voice.
"Oh, look, mother!" ahe cried.
"There la my apple."
"lluah, deurl It lan't your apple at
all. It belong, to the people next
door."
"He Isn't people," objected Eva. J
am a bachelor.
"Anyhow, the apple la hla."
"Ia It?" Hlie tossed her head. Rhe
haa a graceful way of (ming her
head. "Then he (han't have it. Mr.
Layton gave it to me every year."
Mr. Layton waa my predecessor. "You
know he alwnya lent inn hla ladder to
get it." I felt inclined to offer my
ladder there and then, but the time,
like the apple, waa not ripe.
Aa the auuuncr went on the apple
grew in alze and beauty. Kve watched
the apple, and I watched Kve. Hhe
waa ao nice to wateh that I did not
offer her the forbidden fruit. I re
garded it aa a hostage for her regu
lar appearance.
"Look at ita roay 4-herka, mother!"
ahe uaed to auy, tcimiiigly. "If it geti
much bigger it must drop." Hhe
mude motion, exprcaxlng rapture.
"Eve, dear," her mother protected
"you know It lan't yotira."
"It would be If I had a ladder.'
Then ahe would give a merry llttli
laugh. Bhe ha, a charming' way of
laughing.
The apple atill hung on, however,
and grew and grew. Jn tho dusk of
evening Eve tried to reach it with a
clothes prop at least it looked like
Eve. I knew It waa a clothea prop,
bcrauae ahe let it drop over my wall,
and It amnahed three pauea of a cu
cumber frame. Next morning ahe
happeueil to be in the garden, ao 1
returned It with grave ceremony.
"I I'm afraid it broke eomethlug,"
he apologized.
"Not in the leant," I assured her.
"I'll tell Mary Jancx not to atand It
up agaluat your wall again," ahe prom
laed inendaciounly.
After tli at the apple bluihed more
fi:riou,ly than ever. It wa ao ripe
that it waa marvelous how it held on,
1 heard her aay. She was probably
unaware that 1 had climbed up one
tilght and secured It with flue wire.
Neat she tried knocking tenuis bulla
at it. Of course, she iicxer went with
In a rouple of yards. I picked up nine
bulla next morning and restored them
to her.
"I thought they were windfalls
from my apple tree," 1 said, and shu
fled indoors.
"I believe he was laughing at me,"
I heard her tell her mother. "Now, I
will have it."
"No, no, deurl 1 forbid you to
touch it. It'a no use looking like thnt,
Eve. I ahull be really cross with
you."
When 1 came homo that evening the
apple waa atUl there, in all its k'lory,
but when It grew dusk I noticed ma
neuver, with the prop going on once
more. Finally I heard a cry of tri
umph, and the rustle of her skirts aa
ahe ran Indoors. Then 1 went out.
I climbed the tree, gathered alniut
a gallon of apples, and sent them in
with a sola.
Dear Mailam! I trust you xvin acc.pt
a few apples from my tree nvrrtmiiKlna'
your garden, aa I notice that there ts only
one upon your aid.
'l have, however, a sperlM renaim for de
siring t tint one. May I enter your garden
togsth.r It? Yours verv trulv.
"KltANK NKYVTON."
In a few minutes Sarah Ann re
turned with Mrs. Parker's thanks, and
an assurance thnt she would be
pleased for lue to gather the apple
whenever 1 liked So nf'rr putting the
Get Stoves at
''ri
bidder over the wall, I went round to
their front door and knocked. I waa
shown into a cozy sitting-room. Mrs
l'urker received mo very pleasantly,
but Misa Kve was rather quiet, aa a
young ludy should be.
"You will be surprised nt my both
ering you about a single apple," I
aaid. "The fact Is 1 want it for aome
one who has particularly admired
it."
"We have noticed," aaid her moth
er, with a side glance at Eve, "thut
it ia a aingularly fine apple."
"An exceptionally fine apple," a
agreed. "It would be almost impos
sible to match it."
"I should like to see it when you
have picked it," Mrs. l'arker con
fessed. Eve said nothing. Hlio -peared
to have become absorbed in a
book.
"I'll bring it kn nt once," I prom
ised. I went out through the French
window and ascended the tree. No
one waa looking, so I gathered an
other fine apple from my own side.
When I returned Kve had dinap
penred. "It doesn't look quite ao large off
the tree," I suggested, placing the
apple upon the table.
"No," aaid the mother, exumining
it critically, "I scarcely think it does;
but It is u very fine one."
"l'crliui your duughtcr would like
to see it?"
"Ye es." She laughed. "I am
afraid it will make her feel ruther
envious." Hhe rung the bell, mid
the servant came. "Ask .Misa Kve to
come for a moment, please."
After a few minutes' waiting, dur
ing which Mrs. l'arker discovered
that we had some mutual friends, and
asked me to call in there sometimes,
pretty Kve reappeared, looking guilt
ily delimit.
"Mr. Newton wnnta you to see hia
apple, Kve, dear. Isn't it a beauty?"
Kve flushed and gave me a awift
glance.
"Yes," she said, hesitntingly She
seemd to be studying tho floor ruther
thun the fruit.
"It might be a fellow to the one
thnt tempted Kve!" I observed, with
a smile. She traced a pattern with
her foot.
"Adam was also tempted."
"I!y Kve, I believe? I don't fancy
he wanted the apple much, did he?"
She blushed nguin,
"You could not have a nicer apple
than this, nnyhow." fine looked right
nt me at lust. Her eyes hiild quite
plainly; "You needn't tell mother."
Aa if I had any such intention!
"I am glad you like It," I said, "be
cause I want to give It to you, If I
mny. I could not help noticing that
you admired it."
"There, Kve!" said her mother. "I
told you that evcryonu would aee that
you coveted it."
"I- I mil sorry," ahe said, iu a sub
dued lit tlo voice,
"1'leuHu don't any that, or you villi
spoil my pleasure in giving it."
"Then I nm not sorry." She took it
with a laugh.
Soon afterward I went, nsstiring
Mrs. l'urker that I should soon avail
myself of her kind Invitation to cull
again. I hope they did not hear me
luughing when I got indoors.
The next day was .Sunday. In the
afternoon Kve sat under the shade of
my npplo tree rending n book. Ho I
strolled out and looked over the wall.
"Kve," I reiiairked, "wua turned out
f 1'nradiae for stealing tin apple."
Bhe looked up and smiled. Thun she
looked down.
"Tho nunuiil apple on this aide has al
ways belonged to Kve," ahe asserted,
pretending to cut the pagea of her
book. They were cut ulready.
"Shu might apare a tiny piece for
Adam," 1 euggestcd. She glnneed lit
me out of the corner of her eyes.
"Adam wua better without tho up
ple, you know," she usHiired me.
"Adam," I declared, "ncudud no pity
at all."
Hho rested her chin on onu hnnd nud
looked at mo Inquiringly with her big
eyes. I would .put down how ahe
looked, if it were possible. It isn't.
Mero ordinary charm of feature or col
oring is common enough to have words.
Ileal prcttlncHH is unique, iinniiuicahlc;
little willful curves of the fea
tures, little wave, of the hair and
"way s." She Is pretty like that.
"Adam," she remarked, "lottt Para
disc and the tipples."
"Hut he had Kve."
Mhe studied her shoes, and 1 aeuted
myself on top of the wall.
"You have plenty of apples," she
said; "and you are not shut out of
l'tiradise,"
"Then," I replied, promptly, "I will
come lit." 1 did.
"How do you know this ia l'nrn
dise',"' she asked, demurely.
"Kve ia here."
She looked at mo auucily over her
book.
"l'oor Kve was much to be pitied."
Site simulated a sigh.
"Itecause nIic lost Paradise?"
"No; because she kept Adam."
"Hid she iniiid, do you think?"
"Well - you see, it was just a very
little bit her fault that he ate the
apple."
"She would have eaten every scrap
herself if she had been a modem Kve."
She looked up at the desecrated
bough and lnuglied. A stray sunbeam
danced iu her eyes, like the ilnlu of
diamonds.
"I think she could l persuaded to
hare it with the modern Adam," she
stated.
Thereuvui ahe dived under the chair
cushion and produced it.
"Now you have Paradise nud the
apple," slie told inc.
"They me nothing," I said, feelingly,
"compared with- Kve."
Hut Kve my dainty little Kve Is
'timing to No. M in the spring. It will

Mr. Sterrimer laughed and helped
bim&elf to anrdinei.
"Fancy having Umt shrimp-eating
old hairidan for a ma-in-lawl Not lor
J. L. b., my dear boy! My letters may
have been a bit strong, and my frenera.1
lovy-3ovy ness rather open, but there's

Alas! not even young solicitors of a
partially Semitic origin can control the
vagaries of a frolicsome fate. One aft
ernoon the week following, while he
was smiling sweetly at the healthful
tone of his bankbook, the elerk of a
hated rival was shown in to him. The
youth in question was struggling to
suppress a smile.
"Heg pardon, Mr. Sterrimer," he said,
in a kind of half-choked voice, lie
hundtd the solicitor a familiar-looking
document. Oh, to think that he should
have been served
: IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUSTICE, :
: QUEEN'S BENCH DIVISION, :
1 IK. J. No. . !
: ROSE JOHNSON, Plaintiff, :
I V 'l
! JOHN LAURENCE STERRIMER, :
j Defendant. :
t
And to think that this document
slum Id he indorsed with
"The plali tiff's claim Is for damages for
breach of premise of marnuKe."
"Impudence!" shrieked the writttd
one. " There can be no evidence."
There he was dimmed to be mistaken.
The trial came un, and the court was
packed with those good natnrcd friend
who lind the keenest delight in tli
miseries of .Icnathiiii ami Pythias.
The evidence given by the jlaintin
and three yuuiig typewriters was ol
the most, slartling character.
Three bonny, bright eyed city sylph
had each the m lf-hame tale loeoo forth
ff we Ojiinte Jane Kobiu&on we (juoti
the other two.
Jane llobiuson (called) Our tele
phone it in direct connection wiT
Kuoiiks tt Ihllby'S. where Miss John
son is employed. I alo know Mr. Step
ritm r's oiee as coming through the
telephone (juile will. On the juih ol
August, at the rujucst of Miss Jidiu
bon, 1 stood by our telephone at li.'M
p. m. precir-ely. 1 can recognize the de
fendant's oiee through our teh-phont
(juite distinctly. I heard him tuy:
"Dear Korxc, 1 love you for your beauty
and irtue. He my wife, dui bug; I
bhould glory iu your love, and glory to
make it known to all the wot Id."
Further examined, the witness con
tinued: T took it down in shorthand.
We lune also Jhcrscu's new phone in
our otlice, and the words were tiaiifc
mitted Into it direct from the telephone.
No, there could be no mistake what
ever as to 1 1 is being Mr. Stemim-i's
voice. Yes, Miss Johnson did tell me
what she has already staled in her evi
dence, that she concealed the end of
her receiver in u bouquet of roses, and
that Mr. Sterrimer had spoken into it
that bhe had meant him to do so, as
he was always making proposals of
marriage when no witnesses were by."
When the hint of the three ty pew rit
ing witnesses had finished Phincas Huz
fuz, 0. ('., opened a large wooden ease.
"This," said that learned counsel for
the plaintilf, "is one of the famous
phonos, with all the latest improve
ments of the "great American inventor,
Ibersen. With your lordship's permis
sion, and to make use of a somewhat
vulgar phrase, I shall now procetd to
turn on the tup."
The court listened in breathless ex
pectation. Out came the undoubted
tones of Mr. Sterrimer. uttered in mys
terious falsetto-forte whispers:
"Jeur Hose, I love you for jour beau-
ty-"
The rest was nlmost drowned In
laughter, in which the learned judge
himself took part.
The htitchtcr had only for a few sen
finds subsided when Mr. JUifuz treat
ed the court to yet another surprise.
A large frame, six feet by two, il raped
in linen, was held up in front of the
jury by the plain tiff's solicitor's "out
door common law." The covet tug was
raised. Horror for the defendant!
Yes, liiiught else but a most splendid
t'herony'h photo enlargement of the
defendant clasping the plaintilT to his
bosom.
"My lord.' said the learned cuuiimI,
"this is the age of science. l!y the aid
of a kodak concealed in a cigar case on
the inanlel shelf, provided with a
hngihtiied tube, of which the pneu
matic ball was placed on the tloc.r be
neath a sheet of newspaper and touched
by the fairy foot of uiy fusemating
client, the condition of the defendant's
feelings and treatment of the lady are
here clearly depicted. Allow me to
state that it was only out of regard for
the shrinking modesty of this ill-treated
young lady that this evidence was
not produced by inutoseope."
When order had been restored the ex
cellent llufu, IJ. (.., was to be seen in
alTable consultation with the opposing
counsel.
"Your lordship," said lie, "mny we
request an adjournment with a view to
a posMhW amicable settlemcntV"
"It would certainly be in the interest
of both p;n ties," said his lordship, smil
ing swertly.
That little settlement cost Mr. Ster
rimer the small sum of :m) sterling,
exclude of costs. Still, fate showed
some little k n 'im s.s to him. lie hap
pened t.' h. '.' L' ..n c worth of shares in
