Whats your name?" said I. pretty
sharply. for was cross enough. That was
the tenth time I'd been called up that night.
She laughed again, and it startled me, the
voice and laugh were so weak.
"HOW funny you are. Aunt Prue!" she
said. "You don't know jenny" and then
she went on talking as before to some
Polly. telling her of the lessons at school,
and of some new ribbon on her hat, and
that she had to finish milking before they
could go out.
Father" she said, ''says he'll sell Juny,
an she's my own cow. 1 raised her from a
calf. you know. POlly.''
Then she got to talking OF the baskets
and berries and games. fancying she was at
school picnic. l saw she had been a
country child, and thought she was at home
again on the farm.
She was little bit of thing. and not
old, either but her face showed what she'd
been through. L called the doctor. When
he was examining her. she fell off into a
stupor. but she reused when l tried to get
her to take some medicine. She would not
take it. laughing at me, but she was very
Egentle little body. too.
won't you take it for Aunt Prue,
Jenny?" l said, humoring her. So then she
swallowed 1t. You forgot the Jelly,
aunty," she said, and then she dozed off,
waking now and then, talking of some
baby. her little sister, l think, as if she was
just child again.
I've seen men hung. and some others die
OF delirium tremens in the prison. but there
was something more awful in this girls
death than in any of the others. She had
been so vile woman, and she'd forgot it
all, and thought herself just an innocent
child.
The doctor was called Off II can do
woman was dying when she was brought
in. She's badly hurt. Don't leave her."
OF course l wasn't going to leave her.
Perhaps you know hymn?" l said to
her. 'or some verses?" l usually leave
that kind of talk to the chaplain; but he
wasn't there, and she was going fast. and
had to say it.
Her eyes were shut 'Hymn? Hymn
yes. MOTHER" she said. and she began to
sing "Jesus. Lover of My Soul!" She had
sweet voice, but it was most gone.
When she came to 'Leave, oh leave
me not alone" she opened her eyes. and
said, ''Sing, mother. Won't you sing? It's
so long since l"-then she stared around
and stopped.
She had come to herself. She saw her

There was bit of looking glass on the cell
wall one of the prisoners had left. and
there she saw her face all bloated and
pimpled.
She caught hold of my arm and shrieked
out, "Am Jenny? Is this a Jail?" and
then. thank God! she sank back in stupor.
The keeper came in and told me she was a
girl who had come up to town and fallen
into bad company. and run down as low as
woman could get.
She did not come to her senses again.
She talked to herself and laughed a little in
childish way. She had gone back to the
farm again. And just before the end l
heard her say, Leave me not alone! Jesus,
lover of my soul!"
l think He was near her.
She died, and was buried in the Potter's
Field. There's a lot of them goes that way.
l never heard her real name. But in spite
of all. hope He was near her at the end.

exaggeration and dishonesty OF his argu-
ments. Mr.. Ewing closed with a splen-
did outburst of pyrotechnic oratory.
When he closed large number OF the
audience moved out, but when
Mr.. e. c. SWEET
was introduced as the man who obeyed
the voices of the masses who had put
collar on hin] and voted for Cleveland
[while he wanted to vote for Hill at the
Chicago convention, a large assemblage
still remained and gave Mr.. SWEET a
rousing reception. AS public speaker
Mr. SWEET is rather superior to many of
the foreign orators whom the Democracy
have imported into Maine this campaign.
and had it not been for his indiscreet I'M
masking at the very first of Brother
Georges plan of campaign, he would
probably have been heard oftener IN this
part of the state. But while he tells too
much truth about local questions, he
does not trouble himself much about the
truth on general questions. For instance,
he denounced the tariff as robbery, and
to prove it such asserted that coal was
81 a ton higher this year than last. all
because a few barons in the anthracite
coal region had got their heads together
over a bottle of wine. But he omitted
to inform his audience that anthracite
coal is on the free list. Then he
went into the subject of the Homestead
strike, accusing the PRESS of represent
ing that those workingmen were the
princes of American workingmen. Mr.
SWEET did not deny that the Homestead
workingmen were we'll paid, but turned
the matter off by saying that there were
no princes in America, and by a descrip-
ton of the methods used by the proprie-
tors of the works for defending them.
He likened Reed and Ingraham to Go
Hath and David, and then proceeded to
explain that Mr.. Reed had done nothing
for this district by alleging that the
things he had done were easy enough to
do. Speaking of the saving of the Two
Lights at Cape Elizabeth, Mr.. SWEET said
that one light house would be better on
the point than two. Then he launched
out into fully twenty minutes personal
abuse of Mr. Reed, making the latter's
personal appearance his chief text. The
abuse was ingeniously worked up, and it
is but fair to say that it delighted por-
ton of the autobiography.
Passing from personal abuse to public
questions, Mr.. SWEET said that the Port
land Company was now employing "only
200 meagrely paid workingmen'' where
it once had 100, and that Mr.. Reed was
responsible for the decrease. The sugar
reineries were closed BY the trust, throw
ing 300 men out of employment. and
Mr.. Reed was responsible for the trust.
In the concluding portion of his
speech, Mr.. SWEET issued a
Grand Challenge
to Mr. Reed or the Portland Daily PRESS
ito instance one single industry that has
had an increase, of wages since the Nc
Kinley bill went into effect"
Having issued this challenge, he con-
Guided with a fowery panegyric on
America.
The meeting closed with much cheer
ing.

MacVea1h and Ex-Gov. Campbell
Speak at Their Last Rally.
NEW YORK, Noy. 3.--The stage OF the
Brooklyn Academy of Music was set for
forest scene tonight when the last great
rally Of the democracy of Kings
county for the national ticket was
held. The academy seats about 3 900
people, but over 5000 enthusiastic demo
Gratis we're crowded into the building to-
night to hear W ayne Macy eagh of Penn
syIvanis and Ex-Goy. Campbell OF Ohio.
Mr.. MscVeagh said, in referring to his
recent change OF political faith, that when
he published his letter he felt lonesome, but
now, not only tue woods but the
streets are full of good republicans
who were opposed to corruption, and that
at several meetings at which he had !e-
Gently spoken he was afraid that he was
not in good democratic company.
Ex-Gov. Campbell Of Ohio met with
most cordial reception, aud it was several
minutes before the applause ceased and he
could be heard. His speech was In q semi
humorous vein and the audience was fre-
quently moved TO laughter. He de-
picted Wayne MaoVeagh AS an obs
jecs lesson, and said that when it
was taken into consideration that Mr. Mac
Veagh, Judge Gresham and others repre-
sented simply the returns from the repub-
ljcan cabinet to the democracy some feeble
idaa might be formed of the cyclone that
shall strike the Republican party between
now and election day.
