Rachel drew long breath, and took
the wasted hand in both her own and
held 1t close, while her very soul seemed
20 pass into that touch. She bent over
him, almost as pale as himself, only that
her cheeks burned and her eyes were
fixed on his face with look that seemed
to battle him in the glow and fervor OF
their light. She did not speak, and hel
gaze never left him. Hours passed
The hand she held lost it's deathly chill
and grew warm and moist, a faint, dewy
moisture was on the brow and temples
and the breathing grew stronger, longer
and steadier. 1t was evening when the
sleeper stirred slightly, slowly Enclosed
his eyes and smiled. as he looked up and
recognized Rachel. 1t was week later

Doctor Frank and the nurse spoke o.

himself with. having his printed in the

filcher? 1t was supposed that some newspa-
per correspondent had written both, and,
being In q hurry. had duplicated them In

of it. It appears that both are right Bel
den wrote HIS speech, and according to re-
ports Felix McCloskey, a protege OF spinola

secured his speech to show TO Widow spi-

or having read It retained unconsciously
certain passages in his memory, is not
