THE FOUNT OF YOUTH. The fount of youth has oft bsen (ought Bines days of long ago, And oft In fancy men have md Us living watira flow. Through desert, swamp and wilderness Ihe search has been pursued. In hope that by the Bugle fount Youth's charms might be renewed. But men have turned from that vain quest, Their hopes forever crushed; For though they searched through all the Torld . No manic fountain gushed. And men renlpned themselves to age That robbed them of their grace, That sapped thttr strength and thickly spread Time's wrinkles on the face. In later years men's thoughts have turned To plans for longer lite, And In elixirs they have sought New1 slienglh for dally strife. And oft 'tis heral'led abroad That admits! or eaire Has finally evolvtd a plrtn To stay the blight of age. But men grow old. and women, too. As In the driys of yore, For no elliirn they have tried Their youthful clinrms restore. And as thy Can't deceive themselves Some seek to hide the truth, And dye and bleach their hair and paint On cheeks the huts of youth. Ths fount of youth Is In each heart. And those who keep It pure Will longer hold the charms of youth And length of life secure. And when at taut that fountain falls. And old age on them steals, They'll bear It well because no man Is older than he feels. Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph. t - I N, 2111 1 d uiuuna nue sjvio By Jessie Llewellyn. (UvprrlsM, KM, by AtiUora aiuUeats.) FOR elfrht years I had occupied the position of resident physician at the stute penitentiary at S , and fr the first time my poHitinn mcitnt much to me. Thla v.us Giving to a romance which had bciin to blossom for me within the austere prison walla. Hhe was the warden's niece, beautiful unil frail, who hud but recently taken up her abode among ux, acting as secre tary to her uncle. The interest was mutual, for i'uullue did not frown upon my suit, ami I wus an my way to Ihe warden lo ak his sanction of our union when I met hi in In Hie corridor crumpling a teli tfiaiii in his hand. Per emptorily detaining me, he explained that he was leaving tiiccity Immediate ly on urgent business, and that as the deputy was ill I would be compelled to act In his place. Accordingly I started on my rounds of inspection at once with no word of the subject nearest my heart. I went first to the brush shop, where a new muu w-a ovrrseelng the work, and was detained there some time by the ap parent unrest and disorder. Thoughts of this place had, at the warden's first Instructions, caused me liiiHglvlngH which grew to positive ap prehensiuiis when llrown, Ihe new man, culled me usUlc and reported a convict by the name of llrooks for rank In subordination. This llrooks was a life man and a particularly had one. lis hod given us no end of trouble during the ten months he had been in. He was a mulatto and seemed to have all the bad blood of both races In his veins. . All my qualms were confirmed that evening when, just ns I'miline and I were leaving the building for a quiet stroll about the campus, a "Irusly" In formed me of llrooks' escape. He hail removed one of the great flags III Ihe floor of the solitary and had slipped underneath. I'aullne was pale nnd trembling w hen I left her to begin the search for this black monster. Fearing he would tire the building before we could discover, him, I hastily summoned to nay aid two faithful trusties whom we had dubbed "Hanks" and "lllondie." I decided to go under the floor by a trap door In the furthest end of the west wing nnd to search every foot of the ground as far as Ihe new cellhouse; from there we woulil have to proceed more carefully, us that part of the foundation wus cut up by many stone cross walls. There was so little room between ground and rafters that we could not crawl on hands and knees, but for the moHt imrt had to wriggle nlnng on our cheats and elbows. Hanks carried a lantern on my right and lllondie carried one on my left, while I covered the rough middle ground between. It was not on easy place to scorch, for the great steam mains, which ran from engine-room to kitchens and radiators, were every where overhead. Then there were two cross walls through which holes had been drilled barely large cuough to pass a man. At last we reached the thick wall which separates Ihe new from the old building. This wall was nearly two feet thick, but had the usual opening into the new cellhnusc. Pushing Hanks' lantern before me, I attempted to set It upon solid ground on the other side of the wall, but found to my surprise that the excavation wns t least 18 I,,,.!,,, lmvi.r ,,,,, . ground w here w e lay.

Y. the fule o I'miline among these des peradoes .' 1 closed my eyes, trying to shut i. ul I he mental picture. Then I calculated the cost of rewards to be paid for escaped convicts, niirt lastly the probable coat of property destroyed and ull this tlirougu my ciirclc sauess. Hut I would not live to witness the own I consequences. 1 resolved to stay there until the fire wus out, or to per ish in my struggle nguinat it. Iu the flickering light of our single lantern, the two anxious faces of the silenced men stood out strangely against tho background of murky gloom. "lllondie," my voice sounded strange and inufllcd, "get out of here as fast as you can. Uo around through ths new cellhouse; have Khafter let you through the east trap door; then you two crawl through on the other side ns fast as you enn; you may be in time to put out the Iunternl" "Now, Hanks, you go to the turn key; tell him to get all the men out of their cells. I'll stay here to watch the Are; besides, I must wait to di rect Hlondlo." The men quickly disappeared in the darkness, and I wna alone. I think I prnyed a little, for this fire light was the last light I ever expected to see. Then, as in answer to my prayer, an Idea shot into consciousness throw my heavy sweater over the lantern and smother the flame. Holding the sweater before me, I thrust my arms into the hole one, two, It swung and landed suuarely; my aim was true; this would hold the fire till help came, or possibly ex tlngulah it. The ease with which I got into the hole this tlmo mnde me believe that without coat and sweater I could crawl through. Holding my arms close to my sides, I started to work my shoulders Into the hole. It was much easier than before, and In a minute or two my head projected beyond. Now I stopped for a moment's rest., and to ook around mo, I could see but a short distance into the gloom, nnd then everything blended Into black. The lantern was completely covered by the sweater and emitted only a very fill lit light. Hiiddenly my heart gavn a great throb, for over to my right I thought I saw a shadow move. It could not be n friend, or he would have spoken; surely then it must be that black devil. For a moment I could not stir, but riveted my eyes upon the silent, retreating figure. Then scarcely knowing what I did, or why, I was ponsesaed with the spirit of pnnic; I struggled frantically to escape from my perilous poaltlon; hut while more sane and orderly efforts might have been successful, the many twists and turns caught my shoulders under a pipe fixture, and I was wedged fast. Kvcn that faint, fading light must have shown my fnce as a picture of struggling terror, for I saw that form again emerge from the other shadows and plunge toward mo on hnuilx arid knees. It wns he! I heard his Inhuman chuckle; the whites of his eyes rolled and gh-nmed hideously. Then, slow ly, with a malevolent glance toward me nnd a ghastly laugh, he drew the sweater along from off the lantern. Freed from its smothering cover, the flames leaped out, lighting every cor ner of the little compartment, and outlining the snvngo figure of the negro. I'mliiubtedly he knew of an escape fur himself when the heat grew unbearable. I longed for a shot at thla animal, but my arms were pinned close; I could only move uiy Augers aim lessly. With a look of savage triumph, he cuutioiK.lv lifted the blalng mass by means of the sweater and allowed the tlnmes to piny around the rafters. I saw the cobwebs sputter, the little splinters on the rafters caught and burned like tiny matches. In Imagination I could smell my singed hair nnd my burning flesh. The fiend had squatted cross legged on the ground safely beyond the Are and wns glouting over my gasping misery. I snw him draw a shining razor from his belt. He begnn rub bing it back nnd forth across his striped legs, and with each flash of the steel he Inughed aloud. "The fire will do Its work first, thank tloil!" I murmured, drowsily, nnd my head fell forward through sheer exhaust ion. Yes. I w as dying. This numliiiesH wan the beginning of the end. Why did he not come on with hia murderous blade? What di.l I lie delay mean? Voices sang in my ears. Pauline was speaking. Oh, the music of that voice! "Pauline," I whispered. With dee pcrutc energy of the death struggle, I raised my head and stared before me. "Work or you die!" The words, the voice, the dramatic scene are pho tocruphed on my brain, llrooks wns workiiur like mad before the fust succumbing flames. Kvery muscle of hi" giant frame was strained to the task. "Work, I any, faster, or" There wns n sharp click. The sound eman ated from n crouching white figure in who.,. Inn,, gleamed the barrel i of a pistol. Jut then another light I glimmered through the gloom, and . Hank's cheery voice rang out: "Keep hitn covered, Miss Pauline; we're eomiti' with the bracelets; we've got the men calmed down a bit" he kept up n stream of talk as he approached "Me ,! lidie no thanks to Drown " The sentence u finished hT ,,. ping the handcuffs on the negro's wrUts, for llrooks had extinguished the Are and was waiting strangely docile. Pauline, hearing of my danger fr.vn lllondie. hid rM'fif her life f. r r.;. ,. WITHOUT AN OWNER. Two tad t Half Millions la Un claimed Postal Orders. Orders That Have Ba Trams salttra 1 fcrs.ua h tfc Malls A Mick AeBlails). "What becomes of all the money orders which are never presented for payment?" atked a Washington busi ness man of n postal official, reports the Washington Star. "Kvery few dnys we receive letters from our cus tomers saying that they have for wurdrd orders for goods, but tho or ders have never reached our hands. And this Is true of a very large mail order limine In Washington." "They disappear in various waye," was the reply. "Some are burned or torn up instead of the receipta and this is particularly true of interna tional money orders where the re ceipts sre of the same size of the or der, only white in color. Home are sent in letters which are not ad dressed at nil or are incorrectly ad dressed, and these, together with thousands of other orders, find their way to the dead letter office. Ulti mately most of these letters And their way buck to the remitters or duplicates are applied for. "The Ilritlsh government utilises as a source of postal revenue all of the money in its hands which is not paid out to meet money orders upon pres. entntlon and derives about f.MJ,000 annually therefrom. Our govern luent dors not attempt to derive any profit from this source and the money is turned into the treasury, where it is held in trust, as it were, to meet these obligations. The gov ernment hns no desire to claim or confiscate tills money, and it will pay Its obligations in the form of a money Older nt nny time upon pres entation upon satisfying itself in the Instance of a long lapse of years that there has been no previous pay ment by duplicate or otherwise. In fircat llrltniii, I believe, this money becomes forfeited to the government after a rertuln number of years, four. I think. Hie Ilritlsh government evi dently proceeds upon the theory that if a holder of a money order or the sender does not seek to cash the or der within a reasonable time the gov ernment can put it to good advan tage by applying the amount to its own use. Such a practice undoubted ly facilitates the business of the gov ernment's end of the contract and is strictly legal if authorized by law. In nearly all money transactions fliers is a limitation upon the valid ity of any voucher which represents rash as to its presentation, Kvcn s not parable without date la barred by the statute of limitations in the various states. "There is to-dsy an accumulation of over IS.SOO.OOO in the treasury of these unclaimed money orders which has been gradually piling up year aft er yeur during the 35 years the gov ernment has been conducting a money order business. With each in dividual order the government has made a special effort to effect pay ment to the payee or restore the amount to the remitter, and, falling, ran do nought but keep the amount. The fact that Sn.noo duplicate ordrrs sre annually issued would appear to indicate that the American people are extremely cureless In the handling of these money vouchers. Where the originals go or how they are disposed of would till a volume. "The government has issued ItJHW, Oon.lllHI In money orders, and has paid every cent of this great sum except the $;, .loo.ooo have mentioned. A single order may lie issued up to $100 In amount, and the average is about $7. .Ml, the smaller offices issuing tin gnat bulk of orders nnd the larger unices cashing 9i per cent, of them. "Traveling men, actors, circus men, railroad employes ttud others, whose business requires them to move from place to place, lire very fond of buy ing orders payable to themselves. They einiiiot spend an order as a bill nnd as no one but themselves or the Indorsees may secure the amount of the orders they are just that much ahead when they get into the next town, making themselves their own bankers with the government as a depository. Sometimes an actor or a circus man will present a dor-en or ders at the close of the season which he has bought from tints to time, and their amount represents savings which otherwise would have been spent."
