Thomas A. Hendricks Dies
Suddenly of Heart
Disease.
Iniuanai'oi.is, Intl., Nov. 'J.. Vicc
Prositlcnt Hendricks died very sudden
ly nt liia residenco on North Tennessee
sticct, in this city, nt five o'clock Ihia
cvenini.
Mr. Hendricks returned from Ohi
cato on Monday siifferiiitr from a very
severe cold, but m condition was not
nch as to awaken fears for his safety.
Dr. Thompson, tho family pliyfiician
was called and tho patient insisted on
taking calomel. The physician rofu-ed
to givo this owing to tho prostrating
effect of tho drug upon Mr. Ilendticks
011 previous occasions. So ho gave
hint an emetic, and later in tho day an
injection. At night the Vice-President
had so much improved that ho and
Mrs. Hendricks attended a reception at
tho residence, of State Treasurer
Cooper, where they remained till near
midnight. During the entertainment
Mr. Hendricks was in personal appear
ance as well as usual, and none, bivo a
few to whom ho spoke about the mat
ter, supposed that ho was suffering
pain. Ho complained to ono or two,
however, that he was feeling ill, but
did not express any apprehensions of
fatal consequences, llo slept well dur
ing the night and nrosu this morning
iDparently refreshed and feeling hotter.
An hour or two later ho wa taken
with a ligor and despito the efforts of
tho attending physician tho forco of
tho chill remained unbroken for tpiito
an hour. Ilo was seriously prostrated
as a consequence, but the doctor was
not apprehensive of danger and he
engaged in conversation with the pa
tient on 8'iveral subjects, amonir which
was tho Vice-President's expected de
parture for Washington and the re
sumption of his duties as President of
the Senate.
JIAlti: ANXIOUS I1V HIS MCKNKSS.
Mr. Hendricks, however, appeared
to be oppressed by his sickness and
was very solicitous that Mrs. Hendricks
should bo always near him. If she
left the room for a moment ho inquired
concerning her, and appeared ill at easo
until she re-entered tho room. When
this disposition was developed Mrs.
Ilendiicks continued by his side and
was present during the visit of the
physician. A few minutes heforo !
o'clock Mr. Hendricks turned to the
physician and slid:
'1 am free at last."
"To what do yuii refer, ?" asked the
phycician.
"I mean I am froa from pain," was
the answer.
Tho physician then left the house
and Mrs. Ilendiicks was called to tho
parlor lo ee a friend. When the
caller was first announced Mr- Ilen
diicks hesitated about going down,
hut, being re-assured by the remark of
her husband, she left his bed
side and went to tho parlor.
Mrs. Hendricks was delayed longer
than sho expected, and when shu ie
turned to the room sho found that Mr.
Nendricks was dead. Tho end of a
busy and uvenlfiil life had coino peaoe
ably and quietly. On his faco there
was no indication of pain or suffering,
and his eyes were only half clo-cd, as
if in gcutlu sleep. Tl.i'ie was nobody
in his room when ho died, atrl only
Mrs. Hendricks, tho servants and a
caller in the house. Mrs. Hendricks
was almost distracted with grief and
could not restrain her feelings suffic
iently to talk, Tho house was soon
filled with anxious friends, while a
crowd collected around tho gate
and it was found necessary to rofuso
them admission.
Tho physicians attribute Mr. Hen
dricks's deatli to paralysis of tho heart,
for had it been appoploxy thero would
have been some indications of it in ap
pearance of his faco. Ho complained
principally of his stomach, although
thero was. a nervous twitching of tlio
muscles of his face.
For several years Mr. Hendricks
had not been a robust man and was
subject to frequent "bad spells," as ho
called them, during which ho would
bo prostrated for days at a timo.
About two years ago ho was confined
to his room for several wseks by a
gangreneous affection of tho feet,
which at tho timo it was feared would
result in blood-poisoning, and it was
then thought that tho end of his lile

Mr. and Mrs. Hendricks had lived
in Indianapolis for nearly thirty years,
and havo been prominent in all repre
sentative social features of the city's
existence. Thoy had but one child,
who died when but throe years old,
when llioy lived in Shelby county.
For a long timo they had apartments
in hotels here, as Mr. Hendricks's ofiic
ial duties kept him in Washington much
of the time. Afterwards tiiey had a
residence in tho northern part of the
city, but 11 vo years ago moved down
town lo an old family residence di
lectly opposite tho Stato House, where
they havo since lived. They enter-t-iined
thiir friends frequently by put
ies and receptions, nnd wero always at
homo to those who called. It was
this that made Mr. Hendricks desci veil
ly so popular, for he and his wife
treated everybody cordially and court
eously, and those whoso positions in
li fo wero inferior wero always suro of
a kindly reception at his house.
His method of iiving was simple
and unpretentious. His house was un
old-fashioned etruclure, large, and
built so as to givo tho most room. It
was furnished richly, but in excellent
taste, and had a cheerful, homelike ap
pearance. When not engaged with
callers Mr. Ileiuiiicks devoted much of
his time to his books, and his literary
attainments were varied and general.
For years his services as an orator havo
been in almost constant demand,
and ho always had several addresses in
course of preparation on general sub
jects. Washington, Nov. 2.5. Tho Cabi

SELECT STORY
A GIRL'S HEART.
11V IVri'IB ItOOKItS.
1 can see her now iust as I saw her
then her slim round figure and small
round face, her short dark skirts just
revealing her tiny and coarsely shod
feet, a dark straw lut ended iiei;lii:eiit-
ly over her closely-cropped curly black
hair, and a tattered bit of scarlet shawl
draped about her decidedly statuesque
siionidcrs.
A scarlet shawl was the weakness
and the one pride of tho untamed and
inscrutable gill, who was alike the idol
and tho tvr.intot my boyhood. And
sho had managed to become the pos
sessor of almost every variety of the
article common and uncommon, ker
chief, scarf, squaro and oblong, gau.e,
silk and wool, belaced and beta3soled,
fringed and embroidered had Zettto
and each and all wefe scarlet, ulow-
ing, gorgeous and uncompromising
Fcauei.
She was much older than I so much
older that those statues-pie and strong
young shoulders have just spot lively
uorno 1110 across tho liraniuly swale,
whither wo had gono berrying in tho
early moriiing.
"And now, she said with a wicked
littlo smile which showed all her daz
zling white teeth. "I havo carried you
over and you must carry over tho ber
ries. '
"Tho beiries ?" I repeated uneasilv.
"Oh, I left tho basket by tho big log
at tho edco of the wood on tho other
side of the swale,' sho oxplaiued, with
a mischievous titter. "I couldn't carry
you and tho basket too, you know.''
Not for all tho berries which had
over ripened under sun and dew,would
1 liavo gono back alono to tlio placo
designated ami that she knew obvious
ly. 1 bad a superstitious and moital
terror of the dim whispering wood,
whoro along the margin, the old char,
red stumps looked liko tho phantoms
of abnormal monsters, where grizzly
owls hosted on every blasted and
branchless tree trunk, nnd whero oat-
birds cried lugubriously from unpene
trable and mysterious hollows.
"I am not going back," I dissented
stubbornly. "Ask Paul Sliirlo ho is
just over on tho sumach knoll by tho
urooK, and no is making your picture,
I guess,"
She was worthy of a picture or a
sculpture ns sho stood thon in her atti
tude ot iintrainmeled graoe.her piquant
faoe half in shadow, her arms baro and
interlocked behind tho saucy head, and
the scarlet shawl falling in picturesque
negligence from one superb shoulder.
But at my remark, her attltudo and
aspect changed.
"Ho would not dare mako my pio
ture," sho said defiantly, and with n
swift tumultuous anger in her im
menso black eyes,
"Why would ho notT I queried
with tho boyish zest I always felt in
arousing her wilder moods,
"Because I hato him j becauso lio

Hut he did not seem lo heed ; witli
nn assumption of iho absolutely indif
ferent or unconsciousness ho proceeded
with his task, his colorless nnd finely
cut features half hhldon by tho broad
brim of bis hat, his head bent perhaps
just tho least bit lower over his study.
I siy, Ant, maybe ho thinks you'ro
only fibbing,'' I began tcasiugly in n
discreetly subdued tone which was si
lenced by a sudden startling uproar in
a contiguous field where a score or
more cattle had been quietly grazing.
The animals ha 1 been leisurely near
ing tho stream and at tho moment, the
monarch of the herd had espied the
young man occupying tlio knoll beside
Iho path.
At tho uproar he aroso from his
campslool nnd glanced hiiniedly about
him. Behind was a treeless level, bo
low was a shallow and almost bankless
creek; and to gain our invulnerable
hedged vantage ground would be to
challenge thoso deadly horns already
lowered for the victim.
Ilowhu meant to cvado tho immi
nent peril, I had no timo to conjecture.
For at the instant Zettio impetuously
sprang for.vard, waved aloft her scir
let shawl, and scaled the hedgo liko a
young deer and in another second all
was over. With her while teeth set
fiercely, with tho rich bloom all faded
on her olivo cheeks, sho was again bo
sido 1110 on tho safe side of tho hedge j
Paul Shirley had clambered to our
safely barricaded placo and the ballled
animal was content to wreak its frenzy
upon tho scarlet shawl which tho dar
ing Zettio had dexterously tossed across
its very horn.
"We'll go back for tjjo berries now,''
sho said, a- sho hastily twitched my
jacket collar, and simiiltinoously di
rected toward tho artist such a look as
effectually checked anything compli
mentary or grateful which ho might
have uttered.
"Did you do that because you hate
him so, Zet V I inquired when wo at
length paused afler our unceremonious
withdrawal from the scene.
She responded with an emphasis
which was undeniable. Sho turned
with a frown, and had thoso immense,
magnificent eyes been dagger points. I
fancy I should not now be living to
tattle hor little romance to tho world.
"I never allow impudent boys to ask
mo silly questions," was her Bharp re
ply, accentuated by a resounding slap
upon each of my unoffending ears.
1 felt that my idol lial humiliated
me, that my tyrant had heaped tho lat
feather upon the alroidy too heayily
ladeu back of her patient camel and I
resolved to avoid Zeltie forthwith.
But Zettio was not so easily avoided.
Sho was ubiquitous ; shu was irresisti
ble, and in my infatuated boy way I
a lorcd her.
"I should liko to know why you aro
sulking (" sho said to mo one morning
when sho perceived mo peei ing through
tho pickets, festooned with Iho honey
suckles and morning glories which fill
ed her pretty gardenwith odor and col
or. "You aro a vixen !'' I growled back
through tho sprays of gold and azuro
blossoms.
Sho only shrugged her superb shoul
ders and laughed disdainfully.
"I could tell you something, but I
won't," I avowed spitefully. "And
maybe you would bo glad to knowhow
something dreadful has happened lo
Paul Shirley."
Sho looked absently away, and thero
was not .1 gleam of curiosity nor any
sort of interest whatever upon her in
scrutable face.
"Ho had no businesi to como here,"
sho presently said in her familiarly
saucy voice.
"Ho could not help himself, and I
shan't tell you a word about him, eith
er," I said, with sullen Inconsistency.
"Ho did something wrong so wrong
no could not stay whero he belouirs
and ho had to go somewhere. And
now ollicers have come for lnin I saw
them down in the village, and I heard
what they said and they will take him
back nud shut him up in prison."
Sho still looked absently away at
the lo' stone fenco half concealed in
eclantiiio white with blojm ; at tho
fantastic old collage, all peaks and an
gles of faded brown paint, embosso I
hero and thero with struggling ivy
foliage, at tho ancient house dog, keep
ing drowsy watch and ward on the top
most step of tho queerly gabled porch.
"Well, why doesn't hoin somewhere
else now from hero and fioin them V
sho at length carelessly questioned, as
she drew down a branch from a bushy
cherry tree near her and vioiotuly snap
ped on a ntiio uougn heavy with blood
red fruit.
"Becauso ho can't," I condescended
to inform her. "lie can t stir hand
nor foot with the fever ho cot sketch
ing things in tho niarshas down the
creek. Sleeping in a tent, as ho does,
is bad lor a tellow, anyhow, 1 added,
sapiently.
"And then, beside, thero are always
ghosts in Iho wood, nnd black stumps
and owls and catbirds to frighten peo
plo who havo dono something dread
fully wrong," Zettio observed, as she
suddenly Hashed upon tno the
mocking splendor 0 her magnificent
eyes.
The significant thrust quito annihi
lated my uncon fessed desiru for recon.
ciliation. 1 would nover again submit
to such cruel irony.I mentally declared.
My adored tyrant should not bo allow
ed always, with impunity, to sater
izo and ridicule me.
"I shall never try to oblige oit
again, Zet," 1 blurted as I prudentlv
retreated boyond the possiblo clutch of
shapely and unsparing hands. "And 1
do not believe in giving joy to the ene
mies 01 ny poor teiiow. i. Know what
I shall do now. I shall just warn Paul
Shirely against you and against them
as has hnvo como to taku him to pris
on.'' And so in mighty dudgeon I strodo
away. ihk 1 tell more aggrieved lhan
valiant, howover, and I scarcely pur
posed to risk any catastrophe by inter
fering betweon the vixedly Zettio nnd
her hated artist.
Though why any girl would so hato
an attractive young man who admired
her was a riddlo to me. And that

But his admiration had not been ap
preciated ho was next to nothing to
Zeltie, and sho was glad becauso n big,
pompous 'whiskered man of jtistico had
como to tako him aw.ty.
"I think III go down nnd seo tho
poor fellow," I said to myself as I
strolled towprd his fanciful little tent,
which ho had pitched in a secluded
piney hollow ' nt a bend of the creek
and just down nn nhandorcd old
wood roid into which I had aimlessly
turned.
I had reached the open entrance of
(ho tent when tho roll of wheel and
the thud of hoofs Founded 011 tho level
grass near mo, and I hoked up to be
hold my incomprehensible Zettio her
Fclf, nlone. seated in a nondescript farm
wasjon behind n sober old horse.
As I dodged guiltily behind a con
venitnt juniper, she dropped the reins,
sprung lightly to the ground, and pre
scuted her audacious self to iho arlist,
who was reposing on a gorgeous blank
et just within tho tent.
"I havo brought father's horso and
buggy, and father says you may come
to our houso and stay, oven if officers
aro hunting for you," nho announced
laconically and without ceremony.
He half arose, and for an instant ho
stared in black silence.
"If ollicers are hunting for me, Miss
Zeltie, they aro on tho wrong trail
thanking your fathor all tho same," ho
at length said with a laugh, which was
merry d"spite his nshy lips and fevered
brows.
For nn instant, something a gleam
of triumphant joy, of relief ineffable
Hashed liko tho glory of dawn over her
face ; but the next second sho was her
own inscrutably indifferent self again.
"You can stay, father sajs, until tho
fever is gone,'' she resumed shortly.
"Or perhaps our hou-o is not good
enough," sho concluded, whether with
irony or mortification I could not de
termine. "I will go with you, Miss Zctlie," ho
abruptly assented as he covertly and
curiously regarded the half averted
face. "But my tent and things must
go too, you know."
"O, father expects that," sho said
carelessly, but with such a peculiar em
phasis of tho substantive I suspected
the parental expectation- and invita
tions had boen improvised for the oc
casion, And then with an old commingling
of U12 saucy and the suhmissivr, of the
dignified and tho defiant, sho began
herself the not difficult process of de
campment. And presently tho art'st and his be
longings were snugly settled in tho
nondescript veh'cle, and Zettio was
composedly driving tho sober old horse
back to tho cottage among the morn
ing glories and the honeysuckles. -
Days elapsed, and somehow Zettio
kept herself invisible. Meanwhilo tho
ollicers had traced and securod tho fu-
citivo offender, who, despite the saga
city of tho gossij ing villagers, was not
ram bhirley. And that tho ertist had
become convalescent I had ascertaino.l
in my own fashion.
I was beginning lo yearn for tho en
livening companionship of my tyrant
once more, when ono morning sho
pounced upon 1110 as 1 was skulking
among tho eglantine of tho low stono
lence.
"What ails you ! What have you
been doing with yourself T ' she asked
not tin gently.
"Notlnnir ails me, I answered crofs-
ly. "Nothinfx ever docs. Only I am
sorry for a girl when a fellow cares for
her, nnd she lets him have somebody
else with no sense and no pretty looks
and no anything.''
' hat do yon mean 1 sho inquired,
with a 'trange littlo start.
"1 mean about tho gushing and gid
dy young person you got to nurs.Paul
Shirloy," I said heroically. "Sbo is
utiUni lots ol thing!? among tho vil
lage folks ; sho is boasting sho is to
bo his as soon as ever ho is strong
enough to rido down to tho minister."
"Ah," ettie murmured between her
white teeth.
That was n'l, and lhi next instant
sho was gone.
"She will como back, though," I
thought a I climbed tho fetro an 1
Hung mvsell down upon tlio grass in a
shadowy comer.
How long I lay thero I nover knew,
but I know that I s'ept after .1 li tie

awakened by a sound of shocking sobs,
nnd as I lifu'd invsi If upiiulit I d seem

and weeping ai if her heait would

I should hnvo called her or crone lo
her, but I dared not. And so I stood
undecided and trembling Paul Shirloy
camo through the star-lighted garden
and stopped beside her.
"Why are you crying, Miss Zettio 1"
ho questioned as ho plnccd a wonder
ing hand upon her bowed head.
Sho shivered and shook tho hand off
ns if tho touch hurt her.
"Is Ihero anything I can do for you!"
ho queried again and anxiously. "I
own a great deal to you, vonr wishes
shall always bo "onimamis to rao I
will promise you that.''
"You will promise whatever I wish?"
site repeated doubtfully.
"Whatever you wish I ill promise,"
he smiled. "And now I havo a riglit
to know what you desire."
"I desire you not to marry that gid
dy creaturo who nursed you sho is not
good enough for you," Zettio began
recklessly and finished in fuldmcon.
elusion.
"Then you must marry mo yourself,"
ho said gravely.
"Oh, no," sho stammered, and witli
a swift movement to run ignoramiousl
away. "Oh. yes," said lie, putting out at.
arm, and holding her tight and fast.
"But I did not mean that," she pant
ed, with her faco hidden,
"But I havo always meant that, my
wild, shy love," he whispered, na ho
drow her yet more closely to him.

satisfied. Vory oautiously and quietly
I climbed through tho eglantine, anil
so left them alono in tho stwlight.
'Zcttie, why did vou marry hira !" I
asked her at onco after she had become
his wife.
"Heoauso I did not want anybody

highly intelligible reply.
But I must .confess, that why eho
