Slowly dies the long June day.
Softly rolls tbe earth away.
Lovelier light at length dividing.
All a dream of misty bloom,
Trembling stars and golden gloom.
Larger heavens and sweeter shining--
Which is dearer, dusk or day?
Where tbe glory dyed the dark,
I_ost ln light the ruby spark,
Violet gleam and saffron splendor,
Melt and mingle into one.
When tin long June day is done,
AM tbe depths throb close and tender--
Is B ter, or Is It dark?
Love! the long June day had life.

TALE OF CRIME.
M. Theodore, chef de surete, sat iu his
cabinet deeply perplexed, his two el-
hows on his desk, his head on his hands.
He was musing.
"And wag it going to last, this, which
had been going on for so long awhile?
And these assassins, were they going to
end by beating him? Were they going
(to compel him' by adverse public opinion to send in his resignation?
"Parbleu! It looked so, and as if they
did it on purpose, passing tfae word from
one to another to force him to get out of
their way. Eight assassinations, one
'after another! Crimes of the worst caliber, with startling details, which peopled
'alike with horrifying visions the sleep
of the bureaucrat and tbe concierge.
And not an assassin, for all'their skillful
work, had they been able to lay their
ihands upon. They had fled, every man
of them. They had disappeared, vanished—piff, Uke a puff of air. Celerity,
dispatoh, tbeir motto, and to go without
leaving an address behind theml Frankly, it had begun to pass the bounds of
all reason.
"And now to top off these eight other
crimes there was still another, a ninth
one—a murder like, the others, accomplished the evening before under similar
conditions."
The chef de surete pulled himself together, threw back hig head like a war-
horse sniffing battle, and—the door
'opened.
It was his secretary who presented
himself, bearing a card in his fingers.
"A gentleman, monsieur, who insists
upon seeing yon. He declares," and the
secretary smiled a little at the absurdity
jof the idea—"he ..declares himself in a
position to furnish yon with definite particulars regarding the crime of yesterday."
"Ah, the crime of yesterday!" The
lohief turned quickly. -"Then bid him
enter," said he, and while the secretary
regained the anteroom to do hig bidding
IM. Theodore cast hia aye npon the card
before him. ''
"Frederick Bouscal,"he read in a half
Voice. "Bouscal, BouscaL Ji aaonii to
Ime tbat I know that name—that I've
heard it somewhere."
He scrawled a line upoa a scrap of pamper and handed it to tbe secretary, wbo
returned it, at tha moment ushering in
'the visitor who had asked to tee bim,
dismissed him with a word and was
ready for the matter in hand.
M. Theodore raised bis eyes. Before
him was a man simply but neatly clothed, aad with a frank and honest countenance, though veiled aa by a cloud with
sadnees.
"You have particulars to give me, have
yon not?" questioned the chef de surete.
"Particulars of the crime of yesterday?"
'fl hope so, monsieur^simply responded tbe visitor.
"Ah. hope so! You are not sure, then?"
"It rests with yon, IL le Chef, whether
I am or not. All depends, in fact, upon
an operation, the means of whicb yon
alone are able to furnish me."
"Explain, if you please."
' "Certainly, and at once, though doubtless you have heard it spoken of, M. le
Chef—a certain - scientific procedure
;which permits, nnder certain conditions
{better even than description can do it, a
reproduction of the portrait of an assas-
Isin. Briefly, behold my meaning. You
know, of course," he continued, "that
[is tiie phenomenon called vision the object which we see throws, at forms, upon
a screen in the eyeball itself—te plain
words, npon the retina of the eye—an
image whioh remains there nntil displayed by another. It haa keen proved
also that this image continues even after
death."
The door of the cabinet opened anew,
and the secretary of M. Theodore re-en-
jtered, holding in his hand a roll at papers, which he laid before hia chief, then
turned and was gone again as quickly as
he had come. M. Theodore lifted it up
and ran his eye over the contents.
j "You are named Frederick Bouscal,
are yon not, monsieur?" he demanded
presently, addressing his visitor.
"Yea,  M. le  Chef,  Frederick  Bous-
cal"	
' "**xanr age?"
"Fifty-eight years, M. le Chef."
;   "Hum-m-m!"   Af.   Theodore   rapidly
twirled the sheets beside him.   "Twenty-
seven years." be murmured, as if think- -
ing aloud.   "8o it was you then who
was imprisoned two years ago and condemned for contumacy and the theft of
1.000 florins?"
A sudden flush empurpled the countenance of the visitor.
"No, monsieur, he responded, with an
effort, in a dull voioe. "No, it was not I
—it was—my son!"
"An employee of the Credit Agricole,
was he not? And—you are ignorant of
what bas become of him."
"Absolutely. It is 10 months that his
mother and I have been without news of
him.*
"Pardon me, monsieur," aaid the chef
de surete. "I have reopened a painful
wound, bat I listen to you—you were
saying"	
The man passed his hand across his
brow and eyes to clear hia vision, then
resumed:
'1 was saying, M. la Chef, that in the
case which occupies ns now the reproduction of the assassin's portrait should
be entirely possible. It is probable, if
not sure, that the eye of the corpse now
lying upon tbe slab of the morgue contains the exact reproduction of the features of the one you seek. With your
permission I will draw it from them."
"Draw it, but how?"
"By photography—it is my business,
M. le Chef. And this matter, this subject I speak of, I have studied it long
and almost with passion, for I hold it to
be, la cate. of success, one of the most
useful and beautiful applications of
modern science. I know it oan be done.
I have myself experimented, and in one
instance have reproduced the lineaments
of the*physician who had leaned above
the bed of the dying,"
The man spoke with animation, and
while speaking his voioe vibrated, his
»yes burned, his whole countenance was
illuminated, irradiated with the light of
a legitimate pride.
' "Then so be it, monsieur," agreed tha
chef de surete. "Take yoar instruments
I to the morgue tomorrow morning at 10
o'clock. I will see that the clerk is instructed. Later on I shall myself be
t' c I have the honor, monsieur, to
v.- a you good morning."
In tbe obscure nook at the morgue
where he had inclosed himself, in accordance with the arrangements made
ait the office of the surete. Frederick
Bouscal, his body bent, his face drawn,
watched anxiously the result of hia last
washing. The plate was there before
Mm in its bath of quicksilver, into which
he had dropped it awhile ago with such
fear and infinite precaution.
Sensitised? Vitalised? At least it
should be, ari if the conditions of tarn
crime wera sucb its he supposed them,
and tha Victim before dying had really
seen her murderer's face, the portrait of
the assassin would be there under that
bed of gelatin en traine to melt away.
His throat closed as by a grip of iros,
the opera:or beld himself immovable,
hearing only, with painful distinctness,
the gurgle of the water as it dripped
upon the faces of the dead in the adjoin-
j ing chamber, the plunge of his blood as
{ it throbbed and hammered throngh the
arteries of his heart.
And at last the moment came—tha
moment that was to reveal to him all or
nothing. He rose—that poor, trembling
photographer rose, I aay, took it carefully by its dripping edges, that plate
upon whicb hia fate was hanging, half
closed bis eyes, held it to the single ray
of light that filtered through the yellow
pane, to etagger back with a groan of
anguish, to let it orash into a thousand
pieces. His son! Oood heavens! The
face of the murderer, the face of tbe son!
Five minutes later when Frederick
Bouscal, the photographer, came from
his nook, and the chief de surete, awaiting him with impatience, hurried to
meet bim, he saw immediately by the
pallor of his face, by hia somber eyes
that he had nothing good to announce to
him.
"Well," aaid he, "nothing?"
"No," responded Bouscal, "nothing."
" Allons! no matter. Try it a second
time.   Do it again."
"Impossible! The transparency of the
cornea is destroyed. I wished to wash
it, and I burned it throngh mistake in
the vials. I salute yon, M. le Chef!"
And Frederick Bouscal turned away.
The next morning the commtssaire of
the quarter of Ternes, forwarding to the
prefecture his regular report, headed it
with the following item:
"Today at lOo'clock a summon* to 109
Rue Laugiere. A call from the concierge, suspicious of charcoal fumes
from the room of tbe Bouscals, man and
wife, his locataires. The door by my order was forced. Too late—they wero
dead, both of them, side by side npon
the bed, a brazier of lighted charcoal
plainly indicating the manner of theft-
death. A. double suicide—poverty the
cause."—Tit-Bit Prize Story From the

ONE BAY'S FISHING.
"Like a blooming idiot," said the major, "I agreed to take the colonel fishing.
"Well, the next afternoon, whioh was
Saturday, he came around with a fishing rod that I gave him. and when I got
into the cab blame me if he didn't have
a trunk. 'Got my things in that,' said
he, and may I eternally fry if there
weren't things enough in that trunk to
stock a pawnshop. By ged, he had everything from evening clothes to a patent
bootjack. But he hasn't them any more,"
and the major chuckled.
"We started for Mud Bun, out in
Pennsylvania. I'd never been there before, but a man told me there was good
fishing there.   He was a liar, by the way.
"About the time we got started the
colonel wanted to smoke, and by the
hind hobs of Gehenna if he hadn't
packed all the cigars in that bloody
trunk. When I cussed, he tried to get
up in the baggage car and was nearly
killed. Tben he got some bad cigars
from ^he porter and growled for an bour
steady. Pretty soon he wanted a drink,
and the whisky was in that confounded
trunk.
"The woman at the hotel where we got
out said it was too late to get anything
to eat, and tbe colonel got mad and
called me a burbling chump for dragging him'out into the wilderness.
"When the boy waked us in the morning, the colonel kicked because he had to
get up so early. He had the deuce of a
time finding his things in that infernal
trunk, and he kicked because I got impatient.
"The woman at the hotel looked queer
when we got down. 'Going fishing?' says
ahe. 'You'd better look out for the constable. It's against the law to fish round
here Sundays.'
"Then the colonel got suspicious and
said he didn't want to be locked up. I
got him into the wagon, and the driver
says: 'Better look ont for the constable.
It's against the law to fish round here
Sundays.'
" 'Say,' says the colonel, Tm not going
to get locked up and bring eternal dis
grace upon my family.' I choked him
off finally, and we started. Tben we met
a farmer, and he 'lowed that we'd get in
trouble if we fished on Sunday. The
driver grinned and the colonel, like the
eternal galoot he is, says, 'I told you so.'
It took me about 10 minutes to choke
him off, but he growled all the way to
tbe stream.
"Say," continued tbe major, "did vou
ever see the colonel catch trou t't No? Well,
neither did anybody else.' Be couldn't
catch a trout in aweek of leap years. By
ged, it waa a sight to sea him whip
the stream. It WW like driving balky
mules over a broken bridge. He banged
that river until half the fish in it were
scared to death, and I guess he thought
he could catch trout by knocking them
stone dead with his rod. He lost about
two dozen flies trying to cast balf the
length of his rod, and then he got his
line all tangled, up in the bushes. Did
yon ever hear the colonel swear? Well,
hodcarriers and river pirates aren't in it
with the colonel. Talk about breaking
the Sabbath! Why, the oolonel swore
enough to send an army to perdition for
eternity.    .
"While the oolonel was cussing everything in eight the driver came tearing
down Uu road, waving his hands like a
windmill in fnll sail.
" 'Hif he yelled, 'the constable's coming, and he's after you too. -You'd better get. Cut up through the woods
there, aad 111 meet you at the turn of
the pike.''
"We didn't know where the turn of
the pike was, but the colonel _.bbed
me by the arm and _ hustled up into the
woods. When we got under cover, he
was steaming like a soap factory and
cussing ine too.
" 'What in the name of thunder did
you ever bring me out here for? Yon
want to get me arrested, do you?1
"I was that speechless that I couldn't
answer. I jnst stood and looked at him.
Pretty soon I recovered.
" 'Brought you out here?' said L 'You
blooming blot of idiocy, who brought
you out here?   You came yourself.'
"Tben the colonel got madder than
ever, and he wouldn't talk again. But
that was a mercy.
"It wa* getting along toward dark
when we got to tbe hotel. The colonel
was prancing up to the front door when
the man who drove the team come ont
of a barn.
" 'Hey,' says he, 'the constable's wait
ing for you  fellows.   He's over to the
hotel.'
"Maybe I and the colonel didn't run. <
We just lit out and hung around in th; ,
brush until it was plum dark.   Then we
crawled back to the hotel, but tha constable was still sitting there.
"Then the colonel tried-to make a bolt
to the woods, aud the constable saw hi u.
With a whole paek i:u full cry after tu,
tbe colonel and I ran down the hill. I
guess we outdistanced the constable aud
hia crew. But after awhile they camo
after us with lanterns, and we had to
run again. Up tn the heavy brush they
lost us, and when we got our wind wo
struck out for. the railroad.
"Tlie nearest station was 10 miles
away, and the colonel was nearly dead
before we got half way there. He sat
down on a tie and swore that ho w-z-dr-
Ing. He was wet through and about
the most miserable man that ever cussed
a streak of hard' luck.
"The colonel got so bad that I got some
chips and started a fire by the railroad
track. He lay down beside it and tried
to get dry. He was jnst beginning to
grunt, when there waa a roar down the
road, and the train came puffing round
the curve. .
"The first _ thing the engineer saw I
guess was our fire, and then you should
have heard the racket. He just turned
nil his steam into his old whistle and
looted like a fiend possessed. The traiu
came to a standstill by onr fire, and then;
the conductor came racing up, swearing
awfully. I got out. Tbe oolonel expostulated, but they were so mad they
were going to thrash him. I got on the
platform of the last car, and blow ma if
they would let the colonel get on. He
prayed and pleaded, bnt the conductor'
said no, and the train started with the
colonel domg more cussing.
"When the last car was abreast, however, tbe colonel grabbed the hand bar*
and hung on for hia life. He took steps
about fonr yards long, and when the
train got goiug he just sailed out behind. I yanked and pulled till I got him
aboard. My, I thought he was going to
die. Bnt he didn't. After awhile he began swearing again, and then I felt relieved.
"After we had gone about 10 miles we
got up to get into the car. The colonel
went firat, but be hadn't taken two steps
when he fell back with a gasp.
" 'What's the matter?' aays I.
" 'Mattery says he. 'The constable's
in that oar.'
"And sure enough be was. Then we
went out on tha steps and aat in the
cold. The colonel shivered till he rocked
the car, and he more than lit into tue.
Say, I've been sworn at in 15 different
languages, bnt the way the colonel sailed,
into me was art. I sat there and groaned,',
and for about SO miles the train left a
streak of blue behind.
"Wa rode on the tail of that oar for'
00 miles, and the colonel swore all the
way. Every time we came to a station
we got off and hid. And after every station the colonel was worse thaa ever.
"Finally it got so bad that I got desperate and wont into the oar. The constable was gone. I asked a red nosed
man in the back seat where the constable was, and he told me that the constable had left the brain an hour beforo.
And there we two blooming chumps sat.
on that platform all tbat time.
"I let the oolonel sit there for about
an hour more before I went, out and told
him. And then you should have heard
him curse. It was awful, and I had to
leave him.   I haven't seen him since."
Just then a limp figure came slouch- -
ing around the corner. When it saw the -
major, there was a start of surprise. It
made a vain attempt to escape discovery.
The major saw, and with a dash he secured the cringing form. It was the
colonel.
"Oolonel," said the major, "let bygones be bygones.*
"They are," said the colonel.   "Let's -
take a drink."
And they did.—New York World.
