A cruel wind blew the rain around them.

Tt dashed It Into the man's face, so that It trickled down his chin and fell on the brown head trying to cuddle against hi3 coat. A feeble cry broke every now and then from the little fellow a cry of protestation and alarm. Daddy Daddy cruel Daddy. Take me home take me home!" A shudder shook the man from head to foot. A sob rose In his throat he could not speak.

His arms went more closely round the little body leaning against him, and he began to move on slowly and to mix with the crowd. Daddy, daddy, take me home!" Ah. Christ!" It was not an oath but the pitiful, appealing cry of a broken spirit. The man In him was crushed and tortured; his heart was bleeding Itself to death. Love for his wife and child had given this man a soul.

Evil passions had burnt themselves out before the fire of that pure devotion; a mighty tenderness had sprung up with the light in his baby's eyes. Wonderful future schemes for the happiness of mother and child had filled his leisure moments and made the music of his life. He had worked bravely and cheerfully, he had been tender and true and patient, and his love had taught him to pray. He had been at peace and happy. And now his heart was broken.

The cruel wind blew the rain round them and dashed it coldly Into their faces; but Anthony Hope Hawkins, the author of The Prisoner of Zenda and Phorso," arrived in Chicago yesterday and will take up the course of lectures, receptions, dinners, and toasting where Dr. Nansen left olf. As the lion of the hour, Mr. Hawkins will iirst shake his mane before the Quadrangle club of the University of Chicago this evening. From that time on his stay in the city will be a busy one, and when he is not engaged in readings at Central Music Hall he will be found at various clubs and select gatherings telling how he came to write the Dolly Dialogues and whether SIX COMPLETE STORIES.

The disinherited heir rented a farm and set to work to save up the money with which to redeem his inheritance. He died without having done so, leavinej many injunctions for his son to do what he had failed to do and leaving him little else. The Tresidders father and son did not propose that Jasper should accumulate money and thus deprive them of their property. So they set to work to ruin him, and succeeded. They ousted him from lus farm.

He became a pauper. Then he took to drink. Then he met the Tresidders and thrashed them. They had him arrested. He was sentenced to be pilloried and flogged.

While he was in the pilloiy and the boys were throwing eggs and dead cats at him. Naomi Penryn went by and looked at him pityingly. Jasper at once fell wildly in love with her and resolved to turn over a new leaf. Naomi is a wealrhy ward of Richartl Tresidder, who intends to marry her to his son. Nick.

Jasper, having been regenerated by Naomi's pitying look, broke loose as he Was being led from the pillory to the whipping post, and joined Captain Jack Trus-cott's smuggling and piratical gang, which gave the Captain's daughter, Tainsin, a change to fall in love with him. Jasper does a little plain smuggling of brandy and tobacco without compunction, but when he is ordered to hang out lights to lure a ship on the rocks he decides he im not in safe company and deserts his bad associates. He sees Naomi and tells her of his love for her. She listens politely, like a well-bred young lady, but does not give him any encouragement. Then he goes off sailing for a time, but returns to Cornwall to plunge Into adventures up to his neck, which Is nearly six feet from the ground.

He receives a forged letter from Naomi, asking him to meet her. He goes to the rendezvous, is seized by his enemies, and is confined in a lonely house, and. while escaping, he is Intercepted by Nick Tresidder, who tells him Naomi is dead and the Tresidders have inherited her property. Then Jasper shows the kind of man he is: God Almighty is tired of you." I said. He j.

In a minuie I causrht him in what the wrestlers call the cross-hitch. I put forth my strength, and his right arm cracked like a rotten stick, but he did not cry out. Then I put my rm around him, and slowly crushed the breath out of his body. I think he felt the meaning; of my words then.

"'Stop. Jasper." he gasped; "the's not dead she' That was all he could say. Then Jasper off In search of Naomi and finds her in "a nunnery. She flies to his arms like a dove to the fountains of Palmvr.i. Tfe The Second Part of "Rubaiyat of Doc Sifers.

AVhen a brave man weeps there are tears of blood that well up from his heart and blind his eyes; and no power on earth can heal the wound below.

The fretful wail of a little voice, the frightened clutch of chubby fingers only made the agony more intense. There is no peace to be found in anything when despair first rushes with all its force, into a human soul. I want my mother!" Baby haven't I told you you've got no mother!" The noise and the glare are left behind at last. There Is a long, silent street and a narrow bridge, and dark water creeping beneath. Here there is quiet to think In at last.

By the edge of the wall is a seat cut in the stone. The man sits down in one corner in, and after looking carefully to make sure that the boy sleeps turns round so that he can watch the deep water below. It will be mortal cold," he tells himself and awful Just at first. But then it will soon be over, and better and easier than years of pain. God would punish him of course, but only him.

He would understand how sorely he had been tempted, and he would not make the punishment too hard. He would let him be with his boy at last. Hadn't they only got each other?" The child moved uneasily, and the man bent over him caressingly, anxious even at such a moment that nothing might be the matter. He peered at the closed lids and pushed some hair back very tenderly from the high, moist forehead. God bless him," he thinks.

Then, he sent him this sleep, he didn't mean him to know. It will be just like going to bed for him, but with a beautiful morning at the end." In a minute it should be done. It was terribly cold. Like stabbing ice, and being drawn down into a great crack. But after the rush and horror of it the stillness came, and then darkness, and space, and solitude.

It was lonely in this Valley of Shadow. But when it was past there was a new light everywhere. The spirit of this man watched and waited. He had lost his child In the valley, but did not doubt he made one of the many radiant beings gliding quickly past him with their heavenly guides. At the end of a long time he reached the shining gates, and through the bars he heard sweet music and caught glimpses of an eternal paradise.

Such rejoicing he had dreamed of sometimes when on earth, but it brought him no peace or comfort now. He stood motionless, waiting and fearing he knew not what, when his eyes lighted on a child angel standing watching near the gate; and in that pure and lovely countenance he recognized his son. But the joy that leaped into his face faded as suddenly as it came. There was a great and terrible reproach in the eyes that met his own the sadness there could have made him weep. "Where is my mother?" "I know not how could I know? I left her long ago upon the earth." She has passed the Valley of the Shadow since.

Where is she now?" "Alas, I cannot tell. We parted long ago." But to thee wast given her soul to bring to the throne of God. What hast thou to say?" I have nothing to say." The love of all the world dwelleth beyond these gates. Hast thou love to plead thy cause?" I left the earth because the earth was full of sorrow. My trouble was greater than I could bear." You fled from pain but God did not call thee here.

God had appointed thee a precious task. To those alone who pass through the furnace of living pain can the crown of peace be given. Would I might help thee, but none can save thee now. As thou forsook thy trust, so has thy God forsaken thee." Then he knew his worst forebodings were fulfilled. He stretched out his arms and would have cried for mercy, but heaven grew dim and far away, and with it the sad face of the speaker vanished forever from his sight.

Then a cold, bitten blast rushed down upon him and he was cast shuddering upon his face. Daddy, daddy, wake!" With a start the sleeper opened his eyes and looked up. On the seat where he had been lying his little boy had climbed and was now tugging with all his small might at his father's coat and peering down horror-stricken into his face. O. daddy, daddy! I've finished all my prayers but you wouldn't w-ake I couldn't make youwake!" Never mind, my little darling never mind it now.

We're going home we're to go back home after all. Sammy, Sammy!" Still later, but on the same night, a man footsore and weary, sat by a window, watching. In the same room, on a chair, and rolled round with a blanket, was a little boy sleeping heavily. Close to the fire was an empty porridge bowl, and over the back of a chair some clothes had been spread out to dry. The night crept on and the gray dawn came, but the watcher had not moved, and the blind was not drawn down.

But what he was waiting for came at last. A shadow crossed the window, a low but certain cry of pain disturbed the silence of the street outside. Then the man rose, and, moving slowly to the door, opened it very wide. At his feet on the step a woman crouched and moaned. When he spoke she lifted up a hard, despairing face.

Nell!" I'm going I'm going at once. I never meant to come, but something the child Has he left you?" Yes. I'm glad of it, though!" What are you going to do?" To live, you mean? there are ways It don't matter I'm past fretting for, you know." Then, Rob! you've been good to always you'll be good to the child, now1 that now It's cold out here you're shivering, too, lass there's a fire inside." But the woman staid on her knees, clinging weakly to the hands put out to help her up. Rob Rob! You don't mean it you're dreaming, Rob! Why' I've broke yer heart I known I've broken it. I can't never come back here.

I wish I was dead!" But the man was strong and he had raised her in his arms. Nell it'll be hard mighty hard, for both of us but we ll try, God helping us' An' Nell there's a little chap inside waiting to be put to bed. He's rolled in a blanket we couldn't lind his shirt. On the lloor of the cottage, a man and woman knelt together, gazing yearningly Into each other sorrowful eyes-and round each neck was a loving little arm, and a sleepy baby voice was the only sound they heard.

This is by no means the end. for Jasper foolishly trusts his sweetheart in care of the smuggler's daughter and goes off in, search of a pirate's treasure and of assorted adventures.

He gets both, hut being caught in the act is compelled to throw the into the sea to save it from his enemies. That enrages them and they throw him in. Jle escapes. The treasure does not. By the time Jasper has discovered Naomi's father, who was supposed to ba dead, and has pursued his sweetheart to the home of the Tresidders, into whose hands she has by this time been duly betrayed, it ds time for the grand finale, and so Nick fires a pistol bullet into Jasper and he comes as near death's door as John Ridd did.

But jhe recovers and marries his Naomi and smiles at the crushed and baffled Tresidders. On the whole this is a readable book. Some parlors of Unity Church. Dearborn avenue and Walton place, on Friday next in the afternoon and evening. Mrs.
