HOW HE W AKENED GRANDMA.
Mamma said “ Little one, go and see
If grind mother’s ready to come to tea.’’
I knew I mnsn't disturb her, so
I stepped as gently along tiptoe,
A n d sto o d a moment to ta k e a peep—
And there was grandmother fast asleep.
I knew it was time for her to wake;
I thought I’d give her a little shake.
Or tap at her door, or softly mil;
B u t I h a d n 't t h e h e a r t for that at all—
She looked so s w e e t a n d q u ie t th e r e .
Lying hack in her high arm-chair,
W ith her dear white hair und a little
smile.
That means she's hiving you all the while.
I didn’t make a speck of noise;
I knew she was dreaming of little boys
And girls who lived with her long ago,
And then went to heaven—she had told
me so.
1 went up close, and I didn't speak
One word, but I gave her on the cheek
The softest bit of a little kiss,
Ju st in a whisjier, and rhen said this;
“Grandma, dear, it’s time for tea.”
She opened her eyes and looked at me.
And sand: “Why, pet, I have just now
dreamed
Of a little angel who ramp and seemed
To kiss me lovingly on my face.”
She pointed lovingly at the very place.
I never told her 'twos only me,
I took her hand and went to tea.

HIS LAST CRIME.

, ITY my simplicity.**
Simple
Simpl« enough words. and
yet, lisped
llsj
a s they w ere In
Infantile accents by a little tnald of
three, they struck an answ ering
chord som ew here In the heart of
the hardened crim inal who stood con­
cealed behind the heavy draperies of
th e window.
H e bad ground bis teeth and m ut­
tered h ard curses when, some m inutes
before, his plain of action had been
unexpectedly foiled by the entrance of
th e child and her nurse.
W hat business had they here? T his
w as my lad y 's room, and as such
should have been perfectly free from
now until she retired for the n ig h t
Lady H arrin g to n ’s Jewels had long
been eagerly desired by the burgling
profession, and now an excellent op­
p o rtu n ity had occurred In which to an­
nex them.
Slippery Jim had been selected as the
very m an to b ring the Job to a success­
ful Issue.
U nder cover of a dull November
night, he had fixed his ladder to the
window, cl I iut>cd up, and effected an
entrance.
My lady w as a t dinner, and as J1m
turned up a Jet of gas over the dress­
ing table, he liad congratulated him self
ou his adroitness.
Then had come a sound of hurrying
f o o t s lt - p s , nnd quick as thought the gas
w as lowered, and Jim hidden behind
th e curtains. The u u rs • entered, carry­
ing her little charge, t h e spoiled d a r­
ling of the house.
“ S l e e p with m uvver,” she had insist­
ed, when being p u t to bed in her ow n
little cot, and to pacify her the nurse
had brought her thither.
Next, th e little ty ra n t persisted th a t
her m other m ust p u t her into bed, and
in response to a m essage from the
nurse. L ady H arrin g to n had come h a s­
tily Into th e room.
The young m other looked anxiously
at th e 11 trie flushed face.
“W h at is It, darling? Do you think
she Is poorly, nurse?*’
“No, my lady, only a b it fractious,
and I thought It best to hum or her.”
“ Me w ants 'oo to h ear my ’pairs."
Then had followed the repetition of the
favorite nursery prayer, “G entle Jesus,
meek and mild.” but It w as the third
line, “P ity my sim plicity,” th a t bad
struck th e answ ering chord In the bu rg ­
la r’s breast.
W here had he heard th a t before?
P ity my sim plicity! The words b u rn t
Into his brain as he craw led close to
the window. H e scarcely heeded w hat
w as passing In the room, as he grim ly
wondered a t th is seeming fam iliarity
w ith a child’s prayer. Precious long
tim e since he had thought of a prayer,
not since his poor m other—a h i now he
knew.
I t w as the very p rayer he used to say
to her as a tin y boy, and he rem em ­
bered th a t he alw ays stuck at th a t p a r­
ticular line, because he could not say
“sim plicity.” How It all came back!
It w as years and years since-----
But Lady H arrin g to n w as p u tting
her little d au g h ter Into bed.
“Good night, d artin g ; m ake haste to
go to sleep.”
“N ight—n ig h t,” m urm ured the child,
sleepily; then. “Oh. p retty, pretty!” and
the tiny hands were pulling at the Jew ­
els th a t encircled her m other's th r o a t
Lady H arrin g to n unclasped the neck­
lace, and put It In the little girl’s hand.
“T here, M u rid shall have the pretty
thing. If J>nly she will go to sleep.”
The m other then le ft the room, cha rg-
lng the nume to stay and take the neck­
lace from h er when she had fallen
asleep. The nurse lln gerid until the
little girl was fa st aalts-p, then looking
nt th e necklace %till tightly clasped,
m urm ured:
“Poor little dear, she’s overtired. I
sh a n 't d istu rb her to take the neck­
lace.” T hen she, too, left the room.
The coast was now clear for Sllpjiery
Jim . H e moved quickly tow ards the
safe wherein lay the fam ous H arrin g ­
ton Jewels.
W ith unusual ciJerity he applied hts
biols and forced the lock. The heavy
door sw ung hack. Jim ’s eyes glistened
as he saw the num erous cases packed
within. He opened one a fte r another,
and gloated on the rare gems within.
.W liat a haul! Enough to set the
whole gang up for life. Ju st then a
slig h t sound made him sta rt. H e look
ed round quickly. No, the little girl
w as still asleep. H e began to pack
th e cases In Ills eajiaclouH hag, when
an o th er sound m ade him pausp in his
work.
"H ang the child!” he thought, a n ­
grily, as he crept tow ards the bed.
Though she had throw n the clothes
buck a little, she was sleeping sound­
ly. Som ething glittered in her hand.
I t wits the necklace, and much too
vnluable to be le f t He tried to un­
clasp th e rosy fingers th a t had fas­
tened so tightly on tlielr treasure. Rud-
denly, the blue eyes opened wide, but
Jim held up his hand warulngly.
“If yer cries out, little ’un. I’ll kill
yer! Give me the necklace.”
The blue eyes kicked wonderingly at
Slippery Jim . T heir ow ner liad never
been addressed In such rough language
before.
“Give me the necklace,” he repeated,
tnd pnlled It from her roughly.
The rosy Ups trem bled, and big tears
lath ered and fell. Jim felt a strange
|ualm as the little face puckered, and
ihe trted to repress her sobs.
“ ’Oo ’ave taken my m uvver’s Dr«ttr
P
tings. ’Ooo naughty bad m an! Does
’oo ever say ’oo ’pairs?”
Jim shook his head, und she Jumped
up, and kneeling lu the lied, raised her
piping treble:
“ D ear Dod, this Is a very had, wicked
man, lie doesn’t say any 'pairs. Please
make him say Ids ’p airs.”
“Look here, young 'un, s l o w th a t and
get Into bed agin, or the bogies'll come
a rte r yer.”
„
“ D oesn't mind bogles at all. ’Go say
’pairs Just once, and then uie’ll go to
sleep,” she entreated.
The m arvel to Jliu w as her u tte r fe a r­
lessness of 1dm. To pacify her, nnd In
his hurry to he gone, he complied.
It was a stran g e sight, the p retty . In­
nocent child, clad in her w hite night­
gown, kneeling close to the dark, evil-
looking man, who laid been “w an ted ”
for m any a deed of robbery and vio­
lence.
P u ttin g his hands together, ns she di­
rected, he repeated a fte r her the verse
she had said at her m other's knee; but
at the line " l ’ity my sim plicity,” Jim 's
voice stuck. A great lump rose in his
throat, nnd nn unw onted m oisture
dimmed hts eye«.
A nother scene canto vividly before
him. A poorly-furnished room, nnd in
it n little lad w ith his hands Joined in
pray er at hts m other’s knee.
H eavens! th a t little lad was himself.
W hat years and years of sin and misery
lay betw een th a t sin and this! Who
w as he to be thus tau g h t by a little
child? H ardened, deeply-dyed crim inal
as he was, a flush of sham e rose to his
cheek.
“ 'G o's crying,” said the little girl.
“D on't cry, me so sorry," and she hi id
her soft cheek against his, and patted
his hand affectionately. “Go’s a nice
man uow, and me love ’oo.”
“Look ’ere, little 'un, 'e re ’s yer neck­
lace; you keep It tight, and lie down nnd
go to sleep. Jim w on't h u rt yer, but
ye'll gtve him a kiss for It.”
The little m outh w as uplifted; aud
Slippery Jim took a kiss from those
sw eet lips.
It sent a thrill through his whole
fram e, nnd w ent fa r to the softening
of his heart.
In a fte r years he w as wont to look
back to th a t kiss as the beginning of his
salvation.
Then he laid the little girl lu her bed,
and tucked her up ns carefully and
gently as her m other had done.
“Good night, little 'un, yer leetle
knows wot ye've done for me. Good
night, and though It h a lu 't for the likes
of me to say It, heaven bless yer!”
Then, quickly replacing the whole of
the Jewel cast's In the safe. Slippery
Jim stole out of the window.—S atu rd ay

A LITTLE HEROINE.
Nervous People
A P a t h e t i c S to r y o f th e S ie g e o f Sur-
Baron Lejeune, who played a con­
spicuous part at the siege of Saragossa
during tlie Peninsular war, n a rra te s in
his “ Meinoirvs” a singular story of th a t
terrible time, a story th at siieaks eq u al­
ly well for the chivalry of the soldiers
of l-'rance and for the courage of a
Spanish girl.
T here hail been fearful carnage w ith ­
in the walls of the u n fortunate city;
even the « in v e n ts und m onasteries
were reeking with evidences of w ar-I
fa n ', and the Inhabitants of Saragossa
were In a ilcs|M*r;itc plight.
A baud of Polish soldiers, lielonglng
to the French arm y, had l*«-n stationed
ou guard a t a certain point, w ith orders
to lire upon any Spaniard who m ight
pass thorn. Suddenly a girl of alam t
fifteen years of age aiqiearisl among
them. A cry of w arning w as heard on
every side as she Approach«!, hut the
child seemed not to hear. She only
continued to u tte r one ceaseless and
piercing wall, “ Mia m adre! mía m adre!”
as «he hurried from one group of dead
and woundisl Spaniards to another.
It seion ta'cam e evident th a t she was
In search of the body of her mother,
nnd the pale, ngonlztd Lice of the child,
whose filial love had made her alm ost
Insensible to danger, touched the sol­
diers’ hearts w ith pity.
A moment later a despairing cry nn-
Oounclug th a t she had found th a t for
w hich she had risked her life. The
Follsh guards w atched her movements
w ith som ething like aw e as she stooped
and tenderly w rapped the m utilated
form of the dead woman In a cloak aud
liegan to drag It aw ay. Suddenly the
girl paused und seized a heavy c a rt­
ridge box th a t lay In her path, w ith an
energy th a t seemed alm ost sup eraab
urul. H er frail, delicate form sw ayed
and staggered beneath the w eight of
her burden, hut sh e did not hesitate.
A thrill of mingled horror and ad ­
m ira’Ion till«l the astonished w atchers
as they perceived th a t there, before
their very faces, she w as taking from
them an Instrum ent for futuro ven­
geance upon them.
T he Inhabitants of the besieged city
w ere alm ost destitu te of am m unition,
and the m otherless d aughter sought to
p i t Into the hands of her countrym en
a m eans by which her w rongs m ight he
in some degree avenged.
B ut the strain w as becoming alm ost
more th au she could bear; she stu m ­
bled, and a cry of te rro r broke from
her 11;«. T he Polish soldiers glanced
from one to another, and then, moved
by a chivalrous Impulse, they lowered
sabre und m usket, nnd ns w ith one ac­
cord a hundred voices called out, “Do
not be afraid, little one! W e will not
hurt you.”
And the Spanish maiden passed w ith
her gruesom e burilen betw een a double
Line of her country’s foes, who made a
silent salute us she crossed th e ir Ismn-
larit-s and returned to her desolate
home.
ORIGIN OF LACE.

In an Interceding article on the sub-

ter giving the history of machine-made

“H and-m ade lace has a history far

th a t It originated lu Egypt, the Luid

Because It did not exist before the fif­
teenth century; because it was Invitu-
ed by the Burop«>an woman, form ing
her coiitrlhuidiin to the Renaissance,
and w as unknow n to Orientals, who
have even uow no love for Its pale per­
fection, and do not use It In their cos­
tum es nor !n household decorations. Its
lack of color m akes it unlovely in their
eyes.
“ Fanciful stor1e9 have been woven
to acisiunt for the Invention of the art.
and the htmor has b « 'n claim ed by both
Venice and Flanders. Yet It did not at
once spring lute being in full perfec­
tion, hut was rath er nn evolution and
came by fb'gns's.
“In punto lagllato (cut point) w e first

w ith the piercings of w hite em broidery

made w ith the needle (point), the p a t­
tern being traced upon parchm ent or

thread caught now and then to the
paper to keep It In place. Upon this
scaffolding the slight superstructure
w as built, and the method Is still the
same. Soon a fte rw a rd the bobbins
came In as a factor, and th e needle
and the bobbins rem ain to this day the
only m eans employed to produce hand­

self Into the two generic kinds—point,

composite article, mode by both.”
