There was no hope for the unfortunates.
Death was the doom; and at the Iir-t
symptoms the haples. human victims
were ruthlessly destroyed suffocation
Itetween feather beds the n.ual moile!
An occurrence in humble Irish life, re
memliered utill In the parish where it
took place, and for the truth of which,
many can vouch, will illustrate painfully
the above.
'The narrative wiTl be best Riven In the
Word of one of the family present at the
.Mysrir was ln fhe honse wTien it all
happened, bein firt -cr.nsin loMri Kyan,
the mistress. A comfortable farm it was,
and she well to do; with cows and other
stock in plenty, -mid Rood land. Hyan
had leen tiead some j't-ars, and she mau
aed it all; a clever, brUk, utirrinij
woman. She'd be up and out lu her dairy
at three o'clock in the summer mornings
to i;et. the butter oil the churn in the cwl
of the lUy; and theu ;nay with iier acrosa
the fields to visit ;Lc taUlc ad ovtrsce
the laborers at work.
Vany a sm;:rt ynrnR fellow wriuld
have leen proud to help her, and risht
j;Iad toste; into I van's shoes if lie was
let. Fur she was ile.is.-uit ti look at; as
comely as she was industrious; tidy timl
trim, wonderful at making andlayin br
money. Uut although she had a fay
Word for them all, and was blithe and
cheery as the day, they souii found that
cniiiini; courtinx to the winsome youtii;
widow was only wasting their time.
She wouldn't listen to manor mortal.
Jler whole heart und life was bound up
"in lo?r one child, a lovely boy. It was
easy to see by the look that would
ciiiiie-jnlohrr face. .timT the Tight and love
it; her cyt s, as t hoy fnlii wed him wher-v-ever
.-he went, that she hadn't a thought
to uive any lieside. Jle was the i.liro
'rid to her. Every ieany blee cmihl
ni.ike-ir save was fnrhim.aud late ami
early she worked to keep all thir.es about
thf farm in the best order agaiuat he was
old enough to take it up.
A line handsome child he was: merry as
A child, full of bpirits and fuu. lie doted
en his mother, and mayle bhe wasn't
prc iid of him! Every oie loved him,
even the dumb animals. le was so good
natured and kindly ji voua and bright
like sunshine in tbe house. There's
Bimiethitig in the Toun,'u(l their ways
that the heart warms to. natural.
A- time wore on. yoing Ityan grew to
lie handy and helpful a! out the plare.and
ATi'twleilg.-ihle comeri'.it.g farm business.
Ii - w-l, ri.-ing sixtet ti years old, a gcwl
pv-li.'I.ir. and a line well grown active hid,
when there came a wonderful hot rum
mer, and rumors were rife ilmnt mad
c'.i lts seen going thri.tmli the country, and
of the terrible mischief they.lid. Cows
wer iiitten. and Jis; Christians were at
t.ul.til. and a neii.l ring farmer lost
two valuable Lorsfs, that went mad after
I cing bitten, and bad to be .le-troyed.
I'eo;i'.e were every w here in dread and uu
tho watch.
One morning just after the Tiay was
gathered in and safe, herself and the loy
were together in the yard, working away
a busy s bees. They weresehlom asun
der now; f.ir he had tlot.e with schooling,
and they always kept one another rom
sny just like a pair f comrades. Thero
waj only nineteeu years difference .be
tween the ages of the two.
Talking merrily they were over their
work and I.tu-hiug he was full of his
j ke when a inau atue tearing into the
j ard, crying out th.-t n mad dog wag in
the ii. ice, and was jn-ikin btraiht for
the tit-iil the rows were in.
Onii k as lightning the boy caught up a
T.itchfork and awny like a shot in to t he
tii-id. Kis mother ilew after him, shriek
ing out U him to stop, Jtnd shouting out
to the nat-n to follow. Iiut he was as
li-:l:t of fiot and nimble as the deer, and
Ik fore ever Js one could overtake him he
hail come tjp wit h the'dog.
The great animal faced stavagely round
rtpon the lml w hen he made at him with
t Ue pitchfork, and bit and Lore wit b fury.
Hut the brave boy grappled with him and
had him pinned to the ground by the time
t he men came np and favo the finishing
atroke.
".N'uir, mother .Tear," he cr5el ln glee,
"l ho cows are a.ife! Another njnute and
tl e brute would have beeu into them."
Hut the pior laotht r wasn't heeding
tK r,,ivs when her darling son, for whom
nlied have piven all the was worth in the
wid w orld, was thi-re before her eyes all
bloody and covered with foam from the
1 e;t.it". mouth. She va-.hed and L.iheii
t!i.- l.jtes, the boy laughed at Ler the
while, .saying they were nothing. And
L-iihin thc:c was for a time.
Uv.t wliiit all dreadcl and were look
ing o-it fcr in trembling, cc;ue nt
las. He knew it bim-r!f. the poor fel
low ! It was pitiful to aee how ha strove
ntid fought luaiifu'ly ngaitist it; and
f. ir-cd himaelf to drink, when even tto
eigit of water or uy tither liquor rrxj
iv.b-.-iirahle. He'd try aw! tr7 to awallfcw.
tliuiiga it strangled him. Xo use! ho
to i'ilii't gr down a Cnp. oil the con-v-Ljipj
were dreadful. At lesgth Le
grew violent, and went ravino; mad alto-
g. -rher; and hand and foot they hail to tie
him, to frevent Lis doing himself or
; hers a miithlef.
The dot-tor runie; bnt wh.t could if do?
IK was n git!-nat tired man, anil gave
pi.iny a sixpeii. e and iihilliiiK to those he
l. i.eiv ii. t-ded nourishment mitre thau
ili'.i.'; but Kin tie thought much of his
-'ij -'t king. people suit! he had but the
- -e i:,;f!:i.:iie, and that he ftve It to ail
alike, no Tr.atter what ailetl them. Not
thatthere was any harm 1a that, for It
stands to reason that what would do good
to one Christian couldn't be bad for an
other. When any of the quality were
sick, they rent right awayotT tothecity
for tire grand doctor there; bnt our par
ish man was good enongh for the poor.
Anyhow, not all the doctors in creation
could be of any use to the dear young
master. There was bnt the one thing for
him his doom was sealed. And now the
question was, how it was to be done.
Three ways were spoken of. To smother
hina bet ween two feather-lteds; or else
carry him down to the river and drown
him; or to open a vein and let him bleed
away to death.
The mother wouldn't hear of the smoth
ering. When it was proposed to her you'd
think she'd gooutof her senses. Indeed,
for the matter of that, it was much the
aame whatever plan was talked of; they
couldn't drag consent out of her to any of
them. God help her! 'twas a cruel strait
to be In. At kmg last, and after much
debate, it was settled that a vein should
be opened; and when it was done, the
Ioor fellow laid nponalied of straw in
an out house in the yard was lefttodie!
Oh, but that was the day of woe! The
misery of it, and the despair of the dis
tracted mother, if I was talking till
doomsday I couldn't descrilte. Her neigh
bors and cousins and the lad's uncles
flocked in and were all gathered round
her in the best parlor, striving to comfort
her. .
They made strong tea. In hopes t get
her to swallow some. They tried to raise
her heart, telling her of the grand funeral
he'd have hundreds and hundreds com
ing to it from far and near the hand
fomest coffin they could buy, renl oak,
with brass ornaments, anil such a wake
as was never seen in tbe country before;
iio ex;euse spared! but you ruiht as well
talk to the dead in tbe clay.
She didn't Lear a word, but sat there
without tear or moan only her mouth
working with the agony within just a
froze up, stony image of Despair! and
you'd hardly Know her, she was so
changed. The bright, smooth, comely
face all drawn and wrinkled like an old
crone's, and ghastly pale. Sure it was
no wonder, when all she loved upon earth
was dripping out his young life within a
stone's throw of her.
Wiien they saw it was of no Use they left
the pitor woman alone. A gloomy silence
fell upon the sorrowful company as they
sat there waiting waiting tor the end.
The minutes seemed like lnuirs. There
was no stir except when now and then
some uiie would whis;er under his breath
nliout the dying boy; how pleasant he
was and gay! how guutluUd aiid c;-u-h.inilcd
he'd been.
D it no matter howsorrowfnl th- honse,
cr hat Wi.e and mis-ry arL' wifhai the
walls, the business of lifo outsiili! must
goon. When milking time came, Kitty
rj't'abe, the dairy woman thougli tha
heart in li-r was brea'-iit.g slipped out to
call the im'.k-girls ami see to t he cow..
Coming back through the yard when
the milking was done, she had to p.i-s by

Strict orders were given that no one was
to go in; but tbe door was not l icked,
and Khe thought she'd just ive it a small
hove and take one loi.k. It was an old
crazy (btor, contrary and ill-filting. and
t the first push, it gave a great shriek,
and ran, le si sharp a noise that she was
frightened and tried to pull it back again.
Tbe sight of the blood trickling upon the
3oor made her giddy and sick.
'Isihat you, Kitty M'Cabe?" came in
a weak faint whisper from the far end.
Her heart leaped up at the voice she
never thought to hear again.
"Ay as it. my life! my darlin'! jewel o
tbe world!" and she pushed in, never
heeding the orders against it, or the
trouble and disgrace she was bringing
1 herself.
-O Kitty, I'm lost with the thirst!
Have jici any milk?"
"To I sure I have, darlint lashins!"
atid she ran and filled a jugful. He
drained it every drop, and then he called
for more.
'I'm bvtternow, bnt wealt as water.
Cntie me. Kitty, and I'll try to sit up.
Iiu't If afraid. S"iiie more milk now;
it i. doing me good."
He struggled up, and leaned the p.-or
white face against her shoulder, while
she put the jug to his lips.
Tbey were pale as a corpse's; as if every
drop of hi blood had run out. Tbe milk
seemed to revive him. She thought he'd
never atop drinking. After a while he
taid:
-Go now, Kitty, and tell my mother
I'm well quite well. Something has
caretl me. Or stop! I'll try anil go my
self if I'm able. She won't lie frightened,
will she, and think it's my ghost?"
"Heart's darlin' 'tis clean vill with
joy she'll lie! Hut stay, jewel, till I've
bound me handkerchief tight overagainst
the cruel cut. There now, maktherdear."
"1 teach me over that big stick iu the
corner, and I'll lean down upon you,
Kitty, and make shift somehow to creep
alon;" and suf ported by the woman, he
began with feeble footsteps to totter
across t he yard.
Housed by a cry from one of the com

CARE OF THE STOMACH.
When to r.at and How. Sound Advice from
an Old-Timer.
An olil timer, who was brought tip in
hotels and rest u rants and knows all
about eating, gave some points to a re
ItrtiT the other dav about the way for a
man to make friends with his stomach.
I here are two Lis mistakes that almost
all persons make,'' said he. "One is that
tbey don't eat the right things, and the
other is that what they do eat they don't
eat right. I lyspepsia and indigestion are
killing more jeople than rum ten times
over. Why, delirium tremens In joy
compared with a bad digestion. When
a man has the tremens he's happy some
times, because he forgets himself, but
when he's got dyspepsia his stomach is
always w ith him, and he's always con
scious of it. lie can't sleep. His food
doesn't taste right, lioils breakout over
him. He's morbid. All his friends seem
to have deseited him, and some day he
goes and blows his brains out, and the
public and newspapers say he had busi
ness troubles, litisiness trmib!es ! Why,
what does a man care for business trou
bles when his stomach's all right? If
his stomach is all right, his head will be
clear, and he'll prositer. No glutton or
dyspeptic; can Btand up alongside of a
man with a sound stomach snd a clear
head. Whvn you got up this inornin?
what did you do? Went riht oil, to

eartlk You don't know wh:-.t you ate, or
how mnch or how long it took. For nil
the goo 1 it did you, you might us well
have swallowed bacon and cornbread, or
turkey and buckwheat cakes, or any
other mixture that would take up space
in your stoma-h. Then, while you ate,
you gulped down ice water and collee
altemat-.-ly, and when you ot through
you lit a cisar and went down town, giad
you had done part of tbe work oi the
day. That's not breakfasting. It's load
ing np your stomach, and it's worse lor
you than if yon hadn't eaten anything.
Then you have a headache and feel Lad,
and grow fat, and wonder why it all is.
It's let ause you don't pay as much at
tention to your stomach as you do to your
olhie boy. Your stomach tales its ro
venge by making you wretched. To
s lUeich it you pour a lot of liquor info it
?.nd gulp some ice water on that with a
i racier or pretzel and a bit of cheese?
What sort of a mixture is th;it ? .lust
imngsie the cheese and rum and pret.el,

to drink, drink and en:oy yonr t'rink.

Tse common hyurant water; ro ire,

It you are in a hurry to read the papers,
read them before breakfast. W heifyou

breakfast isn't a penalty imposed on you

A Valuable and Useful Cat. '
A family in East Dougherty, da., had
a cat which used to kill and bha.' in
game to them. One moonlight night,
as t he cat started out on a foraging ex
pedition, it was followed and wau hed.
As it made its way along it uttered a
peculiar cry or call from time to time.
I lie little denizens of the woods seemed
to understand it, as they began to gather
from every direction." When the cat
had reached a clear and oren space it
slopped and waited. Soon a nuuioer of
rabbits, as if by some preconcerted ar
rangement, began to gather around her,
until a large ring was formed, tb. cat in
the center. The cat played with the
rabbits for some time, chasing them
around the ring, but at last caught ono
of the more venturesome bunnies,' put

BY 4 LOVE KECAUED.
"I am giving you a trea.nre, my son.
Why do yon hesitate Surely you bare
no other love?" Ht'
Tho sick man lifted himself on his pil
low and looked eagerly, fearfully, in the
face above him.
It.was a baughty yet frank countenance
a face which mingled strength of will
with pride, and tenderness with truth,
yet had enough noetic fire in it to make
the request his father made of Clarence
Livingstone a very hard one for him to
grant.
For Elmar Livingstone, dying, remem
bered the wrongs done by him "in the
days of nature," and, recalling a luck7
venture, which by enriching him had
beggared another, asked his son to take
that other's orphan daughter for his
wife.
Clarence knew nothing of the hour of
temptation which saw his father's fall
knew of no reason more powerful thaq
Christian charity which had induced his
father to adopt the penniless girl when
she was left alone in the world; and, full
of fair dreams for his future, he shrank
from a marriage with one whom he had
rarely seen in his years of study and
travel, and who was only to him a shy,
awkward child no more.
"1 have no love," he answered. "Why
do you ask this of me, my dear father
Make any provision you wish for Miss
Man roe, dower her as richly as you
choose; but leave her, as I. pray you to
leave me free. I have no love for her,
nor she for me; we are st rangers. Let us
remain so, lest in mating us as you would,
you do both lives injury."
"Stoop down, Clarence. She loves
you; you have been her hero, her idol for
years. I have fostered her idolatry, for I
have wished to atone for the wrong I did
her; and there is but one way to make
her t be wife of my only son. My loy, you
will not refuse to make my last hour
easier?"
"Father, I would purchase yonr pence
wilh my life, were it possible. But "there
is surely some other way than this, and I
will find it. What Is the wrong of which
you speak I must know it since I am
to atone; and trust me, my father.thonsh
it take my life, I will not fail to make the
atonement a complete one."
"There is no other way," moaned the
sick man; "and since you bid me unseal
my lips, I will tell you how I gained my
wealth, and planted my life" with aloes of
remorse, my son. My cordial! The story
is not long, but very hard to tell very
hard, my boy for it will make you blush
for your father."
Am!, while the summer night closed In
gray and spectral, Clarence Livingstone,
listening to his father's story of a credu
lous friend lietrayed, and wealth snatched
from a tou-t rusting hand, bent his yoang
uead in a humiliation wholly new and
tvholly intolerable to him.
Without, in the clustering shadows of
the veranda, drooping like a lily on its
tern, stood Lena Jlunroe, drinking in the
:ale with pulses beating as strongly as
-hose in the breast of her Clarence, in her
wn giriish bosom, pain as keen, regret
is bitter; for she had loved Elmar Living
stone as a second father, and felt the sin
jf the dying as keenly a the wrong doie
the dead.
Besides, another pang was hers for
Clarence had begged his father not to
ask him to be more than a stranger to
her!
The story was told, and the old man lay
panting on his pillows, his face damp
with dews of coming death; and the girl,
peering into the chamber with wide pain-dark-ued
eyes, saw Clarence on his knees
beside the couch. -
"Forgive me, my son; I did the wrong
for you," came hoarsely to her from the
drawn lips of the dying. "Make her
your wife, and all will be well. She is
pure as a flower uuplucked. She has
nrown dear to lire as a daughter; and, my
boy, sne loves you!"
A hot flush crept into her face at the
low broken words, but it died instantly,
for Clarence was replying, ai.d she bent
her face to her hands as she listened.
"She may be all you say," came in tho
clear tones of tbe young man; "but she is
no more to me than a flower which I have
no wish to gather. If she loves me it is
with a childish love, which will not lin
ger. I'cst content, father, she shall not
suffer through your your regard for me.
I will give back all the ill-gotten wealth.
But I will keep my freedom; I cannot sell
it, father."
"What do you mean?"
"'That I will make over to Miss Mnnroe
every acte that you leave me every farth
ing that is her due. Nay, not one dissenting
word," as the old man strove to speak.
"Let me keep my honesty, and make
my own way with clear hands, if empty
ones. I would not oiler my hand to your
ward now, even though I loved her,
which I do not."
"Clarence, my son!"
"Father, say no more, but trust to me;
now you shr.ll sleep."
The girl, shaken by hushed aobs, turned
from the silvery night, and glided into
the house like a ahr.dow.
Ere morning dawned, the soul of El
mar Livingstone had gone where human
.eye could not follow its flight, free of the
clogging clay, to its judgment.
And, as untraceable, it would seem, as
the spirit of the man who had wronged
her, yet guarded her youth, Lena Munroe
had also gone with the night, leaving no
token behind her, bidding no farewell.
Six years later the accident occurred on
the midnight train which filled the hos
pital of U- with moaning life, or
crushed and shapeless ltodies, in which
was left scarcely strength to sigh.
The nurses went from pallet to pallet,
holding bandages, aiding to bind up great
gaping wouuds, shrinking from the sight
of severed arms, but putting personal
feeling away before the great needs that
met them.
One nurse, with sweet blue eyes, tender
and pitiful, gave a low cry at last, as the
surgeon whose assistant she was pansed
beside a cot ou which a young man lay
unconscious.
"You know him?" the surgeon asked
her, regarding her blanched face cur
iously. She bent her head In silence, a sob
bursting from herlips.
Half an hour later, he lay there under
her eyes, cold and still, with strips of
linen across his bosom, a broken band
aged arm, and court-plaster holding to
gether the red edges of a gash that ran
perilously near the temple; and she knelt
beside the cot, with an ashen pain in her
young face, as she stroked back the hair
from his forehead.
"After six years!" she whispered softly.
"Oh, my love, after six years during
which I have striven to forget your face,
to see it so cold and white! But yon shall
be more tenderly cared for than though
you had a sister near you; and when you
are well enough to know me, we part
again."
For the crushed and wounded man was
Clarence Livingstone, the kneeling nurse
the girl to whom he had refused his dy
ing father to make offer of his hand
Leu a Munroe.
Long days and nights followed each
other, and Clarence waked from stupor
to mad delirium, in which he told his pn
tienttiurse all cf which she already kiiiw,
and much besides told of the wealth he
bad vowed never to touch, lying in his
lawyer's hands for the girl be could not
trace; of struggle and trial w hich he had
gone through, which made her blue eyes
dim.
But he said no word of any woman
whose love was his guerdon, and she was
glad that was spared her.
Once, in a midnight hour, when the
ward was silent and the lights low about
them, he suddenly put forth his uninjured
hand and took rhie of hers; his eyes, bril
liant with fever, were fastened on her
face.
"My father loved you ns a daughter,"
he said softly, "and he told me yon loved
me; but I did not believe, and I wanted
him to leave me free. Child, why did
you fly from me? Did you fear I would
learn to love you?"
She bent her face, and tears flowed
silent' y down her checks.
It was delirium, she knew-; but she,
who had been un able to foryet, remem
bered that long hour in the early flight
too vividly not to again feel some cf its
pain as she heard him.
It was weeks later when, after a long
sleep, he awakened to full consciousness
one morning at day-dawn.
The lightswere low, the scene spectral,
as his languid eyes turned from object to
object.
At lat they rested on the ouiet figure
of his nurse, asleep in her chair, and there
they lingered.
How sweet and girlish the weary face
waa, under the stiff cap! and sad, too, as
though this life was not such as her heart
yearned for. And the hands lying idly iu
her lap were so fair and wbiteand slender,
dainty enough to le decked w ith gc-m,
fair enough to be kissed, but too frail and
white for tearing of linen and lifLing of
dying heads, he told himself.
Then a sort of memory came to him of
those soft fincers on his brow, when it
had seemed burning; of that sweet face
bentover hini in his delirium, when he
had taken it for the face of un angel. -
He had seen it before, but where? Per
haps in one of his day-dreams. Now he
would never forget it, he told himself, as,
his own eyes closing, he dropped oil to
sleep.
It was mid-day when he wnked again
and fouud her bending over him, and this
time he recognized her.
"Lena!" he cried, try ing to xmt out his
' hand.
But he was too weak. It fell on the
counterpane.
" Yon know me?" she said softly, turn
ing paler.
"I know yon, and I want to tell yon,"
he whispered faintly, but with a w arm
glow ln his eyes "you are an heiress;
there is no need for you to-do this wo:k.
My father "
"I know it all," she broke in; "and thnr
was why I left Lynn ns I did. Did you
think 1 would lteggar you? And your
father had been kind tome. I furu-ave
him because beloved me. I will not go
back; I will not take a farthing of that
money; it is yours."
"Then share it with me," he said softly.
"I would not ask you once, because I did
not love you. I do now, because love has
grown in my heart for you iu nn hour.
Lena, you have nursed me back to life from
what must have been very nearly death.
Will you learn to care enough for tue to
share my future?"
"You love me?" she said incredulously.
"When did you learu the lesson?''
"At day-dawn, while I watched you
asleep in your chair, ere I knew- who you
were. Lena, do not doubt me!"
"I do not." the knelt at the cot and
put back his hair, as he had dreamed she
did while he was unconscious. "And I
will own to you, Clarence, that I have
loved you always since I first saw you.
That was why 1 fled from Lynn."
"And now you will come hack'
"For the same reason," she smiled, al
though her lips were tremulous. "Lovo
sent me forth theu; love recalls me now;
and I will share the possessions with you
which were neither honestly yours linr
mine, bnt can belong fairly to us to
gether. Yes, Clarence, I will go bauk!"
