when the pretty dressmaker took Rob into
her own arms and laid him on sofa.
She watched her dazedly, wringing her
hands. Miss Stowe rolled down the small
black stockings and leaned over them.
There isn't anything broken" she
said, TREMENDOUSLY; ''but the right leg is
dislccated at the knee. The sooner it is
set the better, and | think, Mrs. Ford, if
you will let me, can do it."

Mrs. Ford went up stairs an hour later.
Jim was already there, watching Miss
Stowe make buttonholes.

cried, with eyes yet fearful. 1.-The doc

Four Men Could Lift the Eiffel Tower

The whole Eiffel tower in Paris could
be lifted by four men Of average strength.
The case has been proved. When it was
about half its present height a few men
actually did lift it. This is not humbug;
the thing is perfectly simple. The con-
struction Of the tower is based on the
canti-lever principle, and its bulk of 64O0
tons is so adjusted as to press on the founda-
ton with less weight than that of a man
in armchair on the floor.
Is the tower beautiful? No. But it
has the erect, fragile looking elegance of
an obelisk, not hewn out of red granite,
but knit of dark hued meshes. And at
any rate, in the eyes of its admirers, it
plays the part of mountain tops in the
clouds, producing new atmospheric eff
fects in our views of Paris. Tinted vapors
hang round its summit; the gray shading
of cloudland, the pale pink of dawn, the
lurid hues of sunset, furnish striking
backgrounds for the iron lacework
The Eiffel tower never claimed to be a
work of art. 1t was never intended to
stand ID the category Of architectural
masterpieces with Notre Dame or the
Sainte Chapelle. It must be taken for
what it is, and criticized from its own
standpoint, neither more nor less. 1t
was planned with the idea that it might
fill the disputed place of the eighth won
der Of the world. The original seven
were not works of art. They were vast
masses of material intended to astonish the
gaping crowd-for the crowd is peren-
nially gaping. -PGris Illustre.

CONE MAUGH.

aF1y to the mountain! F1yp
Terribly rang the cry.
The electric soul of the wire
Guivered like sentient fire.
The soul of the woman who stood
Face to face with the food
Answered to the shock
Like the eternal rock.
For she stayed
With her hand on the wire,
Unafraid,
Flashing the wild word down
Into the lower town,
Is there lower yet and another?
Into the valley she and none other
Can hurl the warning cry:
ely to the mountain! Flyl
The water from Conemaugh
Has opened its awful jaw.
The dam is wide
On the mountain side'
" Fly for your life, oh, fym
They said.
She lifted her noble head:
"' can stay at my post, and die"
Face to face with duty and death,
Dear is the drawing of human breath.
" Steady my hand! Hold fast
To the trust upon thee cast.
Steady, my wire! Go, say
That death is on the way.
Steady, strong wire! GO, save!
Grand is the power, you havew
Grander the soul that can stand
Behind the trembling hand
Grander the woman who dareS
Glory her high name wears.
9 This message is mig last r'
Shot over the wire, and passed
To the listening ear Of the land.
The mountain and the strand
Reverberate the cry:
Fly for your lives, oh, fly!
/ stay ut my post and die"
The torrent took her. God knows all
Fiercely the savage currents fall
To muttering calm. Men count thei
dead
The June sky s1nileth overhead.
Gods will we neither read, nor guess.
Poorer by one more hero less
We bow the head, and clasp the hand
Teach us, altho we die, to stand"

THE DRESSMAKER.

Eyes, I'm up early" said Mrs. Ford,
leaning over the side paling to talk to her
next neighbor. 'I'm going to have a
dressmaker to-day to start my Henrietta
cloth. She lives in town''-Mrs Ford's
charming home was a little out-''and
my brother jim has gone for her with
the dOg-cart. Stowe is her name; I
haven't even seen her. | sent Bobs nurse
girl to engage her"
EStowe? There, now, [ guess you've
done it - said Mrs Sayles, raising her in
quisitive little upturncd nose, with
brisk enjoyment to Mrs. Ford's tall
blonde prettiness. cit isn't best to have
her if there's young man IN the house.
They all fall in love with her so they say.
She's pretty, you know, in that snowy
sort of way-red hair and pink cheeks
and | guess she knows it. Mrs. Ritter
had her a while back, and Paul Ritter
was crazy after her; and they say she
firted with him awfully, and then threw
him over. l presume she thought she
could do better. He isn't SO we'll off as your
brother Jim, for instance" said Mrs.
Sayles, shrewdly smiling.
"But JIM" said Mrs. Ford, serenely-
''Jim never falls in love. He never has
once, do you know? think it's because
he's so superior to all girls. Oh, yes, of
course, should feel dreadfully feel
that Jim is on my responsibility while
he's with me, and I should be broken
hearted But there isn't the least danger
with Jim"
The dog-cart was rolling in the drive,
and Mrs. Ford went across the smooth
lawn, with -year-old X oh at her
heels.
Jin-tall and blonde, and handsome
like his sister-was driving slowly to the
horse block He was turned squarely
toward the dressmaker, and his gaily-
enthusiastic tones were audible to Mrs
Ford
He did not appear to know when he
had reached the block; he talked alb
sorbedly on. Mrs. Ford was thankful
that Mrs. Sayles was out of hearing.
E'Jim!' she said
And Jim jumped out, lifted the dress
maker down, presented her to his sister,
walked with her up to the porch steps
and pulled forth chair. He was brisk
and smiling.

She intended sewing in the dining

would do. There was a window at the

THE CRoNIN TRIAL.
Taking of Evidence Resumed In the
Criminal Court

CHICAGO, Oct. 95.-Taking of evidence In
the Cronin case was resumed in tho criminal
court this morning. The prosecution con.
tinued the presentation of witnesses, whose
only testimony was as to the identification
Of the body found in the catch basin as that
of Dr. Cronn.
The identification was very perfect and
very positive.
The next matter taken up was the finding
of the body in tho catch basin by the two
sewer cleaners, who notified the police of the
fact and the policemen who were sent out
and assisted IN removing the body were
sworn as to this point ana described the pro :
ceeding, Lawyer Forrest for tho defense,
who made tho cross. examination on this
head, was very searching and rigid. The
taking of identification evidence was then
resumed and after the examination Of sew
eral witnesses the court took recess.
AT the afternoon session DR.. Egbert stated
the facts revealed by the autopsy, describing
the wounds at great length and giving II as
his opinion that death had resulted from
them All the wounds were on the head,
but the skull was not broken except that
small piece of bone was Clipped off at the
corner of the left eye. the stomach and
some of its contents were exhibited,
and Dr. Egbert said that Dr. Gro
min was killed within three hours after
he had eaten. The cross-examination of
DR.. Egbert developed the fact that none
OF the wounds were such as would
necessarily cause death. II was inn
possible, he admitted, to say whether
the wounds were inflicted before or after
death. If death had resulted from the skull
wounds, 1t would, in all probability, have
been caused by concussion of the brain. The
question was put to the doctor:
us it not scientifically true that the physi-
clans found no evidences in that body that
were certain and conclusive of the form of
death" Dr. Egbert replied
'sThat is true"
He was of the opinion that death had oc-
Cured through the excessive loss of blood,
but there was no certainty of 1t, he said.
DIR. Perkins, who assisted at the post-mor-
tenn, thought death resulted from conclusion
of the brain.

MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
a Supposed Dead Man Turns Up Alive
and Well

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Oct 25- Especial Tele-
gram to The BEE. That "truth is stranger
than fiction" has just been exemplited here
in a most startling way. Last Monday
morning about 10 o'clock young man, ap-
parently about twenty-four years of age,
while walking along the beams IN the Endi-
cott building, missed his footing and plunged
headlong six flights to the basement. When
picked up he was found to be dead. He was
taken to an undertaker's room and identified
by Thomas Mahoney aud James Mahoney as
their brother, Patrick Later he was iden-
titled by a dozen other acQuaiDtances.
After lying in the morgue day his body
was placed in coffin, taken to train and
borne to Hazlewood, Rice county, young Ma
honey's former home. When the coffin was
opened at st. Patrick's church, IN Halle
wood, the body was recognized by hundred
people as that of Patrick Mahoney.
Now comes the strange part of the story.
Thomas Mahoney returned to st. Paul to Sc
cure the effects of his brother. On arriving
here, however, he found that Patrick had
boarded in Minneapolis. Repairing to the
latter, city, he Went to No. l5ls
brother had any effects there. Mrs
Aarrlgan, the landlady, replied that he had,
but when Mahoney asked that they be de,
livered to him she laughed and said:
"If you will wait here until noon Patrick
will show up here and take dinner with you"
The brother was first Incredulous and then
overjoyed. To make a long story short, Pat
rick Mahoney did turn up as much alive as
any man in Minneapolis. He had been at
work all week IN Minneapolis, and not hav
ing received the papers, had not heard of the
funeral. The case is the most remarkable
in Minnesota, and suggested that the body
found in the Chicago catch basin may not
have been that of DIR. Cronin after all.
