A SOLITARY.

' (Continued.) "Mr. Gunn!" it cried. Nicholas stopped and listened. It came again— "Mr. Ghmnl" "Who's there?" Nicholas sung out gruffly. "It's— me!" Then Nicholas knew it was Stephen Forster. He opened the door and Stephen i stood there m the moonlight. "What are you out for this time of night?" asked Nicholas. Stephen chattered so that he could hardly speak. He cowered before Nich clas; the moonlight seemed to strike his little shivering form like a broadside of fey spears. "I'm 'fraid I'm freezin," he gasped. "Can't ye take me m?" "What are you out for this time of night?" repeated Nicholas m a rough, loud tone. "I had to. I'll tell you when I git a leetle warmer. I dunno but— l'm freez in." Stephen's voice indeed sounded as if ice were forming over it, muffling it. Nicholas suddenly grasped him by one arm. "Come m then, if ye've got to," he growled. He pulled so suddenly and strongly that Stephen made a run into the house, and his heels flew up weakly. Nicholas whirled him about and. seated him on his cot bed. "Now lay down here," he ordered, "and I'll cover ye up." Stephen obeyed. Nicholas pulled off his boots, gave his feet a fierce rub and fixed the coverings over him with rough energy. Then he began pacing the room again. Presently he went up to the bed. "Warmer?" "I guess— so." Stephen's shivering seemed to shake the room. ; Nicholas hustled a coat off a peg and put it over Stephen. Then he paced again. Stephen began to cough. Nich olas made an exclamation and stamped angrily out of the house. There was a little leanto at the back and there was some fuel stored m it. Nicholas came back quickly with his arms full of wood. He piled it into the stove, set a match to it and put on a kettle of water. Then he dragged the cot bed with Stephen on it close to the stove, and began to rub him under the bedclothes. His face was knit savagely, but he rubbed with a tender strength. "Warmer?" said he. "Yes, I— be," returned Stephen grate fully. The fire burned briskly; the sharp air begun to soften. Soon the kettle steamed. Nicholas got a measure of meal out of his cupboard aud prepared some por ridge m a little, stewpan. When it be gun to boil he bent over the stove and stirred carefully, lest it should lump. When it was thick enough lie dished it, salted it and carried it to Stephen.

"I'm 'fraid I'm freezln," he gasped. "There, eat it," said he. "It's the best I've got; it'll warm ye some. I ain't got no spirits, never keep any m the house." "I guess I am't — very hungry, Mr. Gunn," said Stephen feebly. "Eat it." Stephen raised himself and drained the bowl with convulsive gulps. Tears stood m his eyes and he gasped when he lay back again. However, the warm por ridge revived him. Presently he looked at Nicholas, who was putting more wood on the fire. "I s'pose you think it's terrible queer that I come here this way," said he, "but there want no other way. I dun no whether you know how I've been livin or not." "No, I don't." "Well, I've been livin with my half sister, Mis' Morrison. Mebbe you've heard of her?" "No, I ain't." "She keeps boarders. We ain't lived m this town morn three years; we moved here from Jackson. Mis' Moi'rison'a husband's dead, so she keeps boarders. She's consider' ble older'n me. I ain't never been very stout, but I used to tend m a store till I got worse. I coughed so it used to plague the customers. Then I had to give it up, and when Mis' Mor rison's husband died and she come here I come with her; she thought there'd be some chores I could do for my board. An I've worked jest as hard as I could an I ain't complained. I've been down to the store to get the meat for the boarders' dinners when I could scarcely get along over the ground. But I cough so bad nights that the boarders they complain an Mis' Morrison says I must go to— the poorhouse. I heard her talkin With the hired girl about it. She's goin to get the selectmen to the house tomor row mornin. An— l ain't a-goin to the poorhouse! None of my folks have ever been there, an I ain't goin I I'll risk it but what I can get some work to do. I ain't quite so fur gone yet. I waited till the house was still, an then I cut. "I thought if you'd take me m till mornin I could git down to the depot an go to Jackson before the selectmen come. Ive got a little money — enough to take me to Jackson — I've been savin of it up these three years, m case any thing happened. It's some I earned tendin store. I'm willin to pay you for my night's lodgin." Nicholas nodded grimly. He had stood still, listening to the weak, high pitched voice from the bed. "It's m my vest pocket m my pocket-

The folio wing is the translation of ii '• prayer oflwed m Hebrew on June 17 last m the Hv.fn JEWISH PRATER Jacob Synagogti, FOR the largest m tbe AMERICA'S TICTORT city of Jerusalem. A vast number of distinguished residents of Jerusalem were present at the s*rvic •, including the United States Cousul, and copies of the prayer m Hebrew were sent to all the synagogue pastors m the Unit* d States : — " Psalm xviii., xx., xxvii., xxxv, Jxxxiii., cxliv. — We beseech J hee, O God of mercy and compassion, who heareth prayere — we, Thy servants of the Bouse of Jacob who dwell m 1 hy boly pi ecincts, come today to pour out our prayer for our brethren the people of America who live m the United States ; the people m whom Thou hast implanted the love of liberty and humanity more than any other. These blessed people went out to battle against a mighty foe, not to widen territory or to conquer neighbours, but to proclaim liberty to captives and to deliver a poor people from the wrath of their deepoilera and to bring eternal justice m which we delight, as it is written : "For I,theLord, do love mercy, justice, and righteousness, for m them I am delighted, saith the Lord." Thou, 0 God, who examinest the heart, look down from hoaven and see the battling armies iud let your countenance ahiue on the army that is »c uated by tne feelings of righteousness and the love of humanity, aud on the young men and their leaders who risk their lives for a just cause to save the oppressed from their oppressors. Help them, O God, and send Thy angels before thrm and let them -succeed wh thersoever thiy turn themseivpg. Lift up the hand of the ruler of that country and crown his heroes with the crown of victory Avenge the blood of Thy servants that has been shed by a cruel nation and ctukli Thy ein mifs for aye, Aid be it kftown among all tho in habitants of the earth that Thou, our Old, nrt » r'ghteous judge between the nations, ai.ci nil the tyrants shall recognise j hy power and tbe might of Thy kingdom. For T. ou, O God, art th^ King of the univer-e and dwelleab iv Jerusalem. And to Zion there shall come a redeemer." Mr HeDry Zander, who supplied us with the paper con taining the above prayer and other information is firm m the belief that ho American arms prevailed as an -iiiswer to the prayer.
