TIE POWER OF LOVE.
On bed in the pest house young
man was lying stricken with the exam
thematic plague that has fingered SO long
in this city. There was no suffering in
concert to make his pangs endurable: he
alone of all the city lay IN the hateful
house, with the yellow flag, the hateful
symbol of taboo, fluttering out its mes
sage of warning, crying to the winds
,'Unclean" taking up the song of the
lepers in Judea; but Helon's physician
walked the earth no longer. Neverthe-
less, an attribute of Christ remains on
earth; there was one that dared the mon-
ster in his den and wrestled with him
for the pnze. Day and night she stood
at her post by the loathsome couch,
nursing her lover, from whom the world
had turned shuddering away, still seeing
the beautiful through the veil of horror,
uncheered by voice, music or flower,
alone with her lover and the monster
that claimed him counting time by the
creeping shadows, administering the
medicine with tender hand, disputing
with death tor life; the bosom of a vlr-
gin opposed TO an arm of hell. The
crisis passed and the sick man left the
couch; the two went their way, the Mex
lean with the girl who held him back
from deaths jaws. No trumpet sounded
nor drum beat, but as brave Il heart beats
in the breast of that girl as nerved Murat
or Ney, or the heroes of the Alamo; and
her noble act deserves the worlds APP
plause. But she will never get it, be-
cause she is poor Mexican girl; besides
she does not want it.-,Sdn antonio Her
