Mt sounded like a pis tol," some one said, and : Mr. Parry became alarmed. He had left a pis- tol in his room on a shelf, and. hastis ly rising from the table, ran up stairs. On opening the door of his room he saw little; Oscar lying on his back on the floor weltering in his own blood. His right arm lay across . his breast and in the right hand was the pistol.

A doctor was sent ; for, but it was no use the pistol - had . done' its -work well. Oscar -had seen" the pistol on the mantle, and almost as soon as his father left the room he placed a' chair under the shelf so as to reach the weapon. He must have understood its use, as .the muzzle was placed to his temple and the bullet shot through the brainl- It seems impossible for the tragedy to have been the result of ah accident, unless the boy did not think it would go off. Mr. Parry could: give no expianaj tion of the affair. a 'Only a few hours ago," he said, "I was playing with him before rising; He was cuddled up in i my.; arms and laughing as I teased mm. l asked mm it ne liked to be my baby, and he said, 'No, not a baby,', as if he felt himself too big and old to be .' called a baby. " :I told him that I didn't mean that, and. he said yes, that he liked to be my boy. There was nothing; the matter ; with himh then, and I cannot understand this 'horrible thing. I have never chastised my children.' I. only had two, Oscar ? and his elder brother. Now he is gone." Mr. Parry is an educated gentleman, ; and as he told the story of his boy's death his eyes filled with tears and ; the words came in broken sentences - "No, I cannot Rav whether it was accidental or in teotidnal. But what .could have made him:do it?.- He was of a lova ble disposition, and I almost adored mm. ne nau notmuK w wuny mm, and when he came back from the sea shore he seemed glad, to go back to school.
