And he worred.about 1t;
1t would surely give ont, so the scientists

"And some day the earth will tall into

Aud he worried about it.
"When strong gravitarion unbuckles her

And he worried about it.
"Tbe earth will become much too small
for the race"
Aud he worried about it;
"When we'll pay thirty dollars an inch for
pure space"
Aud he worried about it;
THE earth will be crowded SO much,
without doubt,
That therell be no room for ones tongue

And no room for ones thoughts to wan

Aud he worried about it.
"The gulf stream will turn, and New

brawny, soot-begrImed bare arm
across his wrinkled forehead, whis-
tied softly and applied himself
closer to his task.
Jem Maiher was slender youth
aged II, learning his trade, and re-
ceivlng a pallry stipend, little
enough for him 10 exist upon, but
from it he had saved enough to
bring his little, pale faced mother
from the crowded city of New
York TO his western home.
The world had not dealt fairly
with Jem and his mother.
Walter Maiher, the father, was
an honest, intelligent, hard work
ing mechanic, who had put some
thing by for a rainy day for his
little family, but it so happened
that The very day the kindly ia
ther was killed by an explosion at
The mills, the bank wherein his
his little savings lay was declared
insolvent.
Jem was 10 years old then, and
for four years he did what he could
10 help his mother keep "the wolf
from the door" He was, like his
mother, never strong, and the lines
of want and care becaTe engraven
forever upon his young face.
AT IA a gentleman became in
terested enough in him 10 send
him west and 10 give his mother a
place IN his home 10 do plain sew
ing.
Three years had passed.
Jem was apprenliced for four
years. He had one more year to
serve, and then be would be earn.

Nothing more was said. Side by
side The man and boy toiled, Jem
keeping a close watch on the
clock.
''Il's halfpast I, Joe. I'll go,
now. You'll hardly miss me be-
fore I'll be back" Jem took up
his old cap.
Somehow | wish you wouldn't
Jem," Joe SAID, huskily, but the
boy was gone.
What a lovely night that was !
A portion of the road to The depot
led through a little strip of woods,
the machine shops being just ouI
of the small village. The moon
was at its full and shed its soIt sill
yer radiance over everyth thing as
with a halo. A dewy fragrance
came up from The mOistened mold
and filled the evening air, togelh-
er with the redolence of the wild
flowers, coming with grateful
sweetness TO the flushed face and
tired brain OF Jem Mai her, with
the thought OF how smother"
would enjoy tins after the cramped
narrow life in the great, dusty
city.
The rustling leaves seemed to
whisper, Don't hurry, Jem," but
he could not walk, so ran swiftly
along, wiping the perspiratlon from
his face as he went.
Hark the whistling of the in
coming train-then the low, heavy
rumble, and now, now it is in
sight.
The boy took off his ragged cap
and tossed it high in The arr. "Hur.
IA! hurra !" he shouted, with his
blue eyes full of moisture.
He caught sight of The little pale
faced mother looking eargerly
from The car window, and knew
her at once.
The train was running swiftly
in.
The station was upon tue other
side Of the track. One bound TO
cross it.
"MOther!' he shouted. She
heard him, smiled, and waved her
hand.
Jem saw it, and then!
There was a loud outcry and a
sudden lurch of the train, and the
cars stood still.
Every one had arisen. The little
woman among them.
SomthIng had happened. What?
Through the din and cOmmolion
she heard some one speak her
boys name.
"Jem Mather!'
Dazed and bewildered, Jem's
mother reached The platform.
She seemed so alone in all that
throng, and where was Jem |?
Where was her boy
Then something was borne swift
ly past her.
She saw and muiely followed.
No one seemed TO notice the lit.
tie strange woman or to wonder
who she was.

ing, that she stood looking down
upon was moi winter than her own,
and The dead, sightless eyes held
smile still in their blue depths.
Some one led her away at
length.
"Come with re-" said the rough,
kindly, tear filled voice of Joe
Walton.
The news had been horne to The
shops at once, and Jem's best
friend came.
Yes, the little mother still lives;
the pale face, winter grown, and |
the dark eyes, with a look from
which he light has not all faded,
seem always trying to understand.
Kind friends have not left her
desolate.
The "boys" care for her for the |
sake of The lad who was marked |
down."

Dom Pedro, of Brazil, in regard to the
recent event at Rio Janeiro. Dom Pedro
said:

Why the Train Wus Inte

Train No. /, on tho Shenandoah Val
ley,which was due here early yesterday,
did not arrive until late in tho after
noon. The delay was due to the fact
that four b. IL o. loaded freight cars,
while being transferred from the S. v.
tracks TO the b. IL o. tracks at Shenan-
doah Junction, jumped the rails and
turned over. The accident occurred
about two O'Clock Friday morning and

The most important case under con-

the complainant company by R. f.
Scott and A. p. Staples. Judge Blair
took the matter under considerable
and will probably render his decision

ARGUING The FEAGlES CASE.
Mr.. Browning Makes an Able
Defense,
Followed by Col. Berkeley for the Prosecu-
tion-rhc Evidence Discussed in De-
tau-No Abatement OF Interest in the
Great Trial.

NEwBkRN, Va. Nov. 7.-ISpeciall-
The Feagles murder trial was LESS
thinly attended this morning than yes-
terday, but as the hours wore on the
crowd increased, and nearly all the
afternoon the house was nearly as
closely packed as Yesterday.
NJ. 4. Browning, ESQ, of Russell
county, resumed his argument to the
jury as soon as the court convened and
tho orders of yesterday had been read.
lie made strong plea in behalf of his
client, tho prisoner.
lie asked that tho jury would weigh
all his declarations testified to by wit
nesscs; not merely part of them, and
that the jury should seek to reconcile
the discrepancies of witnesses, so far as
Ihey could consistently, rather than to
construe Thorn to tho prisoners injury;
and this he would have them do, be-
cause tho law presumed him innocent
until he was proven guilty.
Mr.. Browning reviewed the testimony
in detail Mt considerable length and
made strong argument in defense of
his client.
VIZ AhobcfI u. OF PULASKI
city, next addressed tho jury in behalf
OF tho prosecution. lIo began his able
address by referring to tho fact that he
had up to this time taken no public part
i'll tho case.
lie would have tho jury remember
that circumstantial evidence was legal
evidence, and if there was sufficient
evidence in this case to remove all
doubt of tho innocence of the prisoner,
they must convict. Men might be,
seduccd to perjury, but many clrcum-
stances we'll linked cannot lie. That
was his law, and he begged the jury to
stay right there.
Col. berkeley also discussed tho evil
dence, bringing out the strong points for
tho prosecution with considerable force.
and claiming that the circumstances
pointed to the prisoners guilt
In tho afternoon the Hon. John E..
Moore, of Pulaski city. addressed the
jury in behalf Of the prisoner. He first
considered tho uncertainty of circum-
stantial evidence, and urged that the
jury in this case would receive it with
caution.
At the end of Mr. Moore's address
the court id jonrned until Monday, when
j. III. Larew will speak in behalf OF tho
prisoner.
