''Oh, it's all right" he added. impa-

some inquiry in her eyes; you needn't

Concluding that even if it were all
wrong she had nothing to fear, the
landlady went out at once and sent the
girl in.

men joked about me. But I've begun,
and 1 am going to go on. I'm not go
ing to be sham or a burden one day
longer"
He walked away from her then, and,
leaning against the mantel, remained
in utter silence fully five minutes. To
most of us, however ease-loving or
however hardened, there are moments
when it is given to US to see new
heaven and new earth; and to Harry
Emerson this fash of inspiration came
as he stood studying the border of shells
where with Mrs. Coffin had hanked her
fireplace.
Margery watched him with intense
anxiety. Under all her pain and dis
appointment she had still such faith in
him that it was not wholly a surprise
to her when, returning to her side, he
said, with all the anger gone from his
voice:
I'VE must call Mrs. Coffin in and ex-
plain to her, Margery. Say anything
you LIKE don't care but I'm going
to take you in to Cousin Sally's this
evening. Your mission is accomplished
I'll take the hotel place or do anything
else that can to help; and when
fail, .Fll give you leave to go out to
service as fast again as you please"
Margery, looking up at him through
her happy tears, felt almost as if she
were ma-ring the splendor of his sur
render by saying as she did:
But, Harry, must tell you, Cousin
Sally said that if you saw things this
way, she would pay every debt you
owe, and help papa out of the tight
place he is in. She never did snelp US
before, she said, because we seemed to
her SO lacking in good principle"
But even when Miss Sally had helped
them to such an extent that they soon
sailed past all the breakers of which
have written, Harry's new manliness
proved seaworthy. So efectually, in
deed, did he learn the lesson which
Margery gave, that his contributions
to the family exchequer saved her
from any need to take second situa-
tion. - Hester Vickery Brown, IN

And longs, through torturing agoaies,
Only for one short hour of ease.
Be patient when the weary brain

And troubles in an ensless train
Seem almost more than il can bear.

The agony Of hope deferred;
To labor still from day to day,
The prize unwon, the prayer unheard,
And still TO hope and strive and wait

Lying alone in the hammock in the
fragrant twilight of a late May day,
Margery was thinking over things in
general with a noble discomfort, when

heard the voices of her mother and

School Children Turned Out En- Masse
on Yesterday.
The Gates WIN Not Open Today y The
Sunday Question VIII Come
Up on Monday.

CHICAGO, May 20.-The attendance al
the Worlds fair today was unusually
large. When the gatemen reported at
O'Clock to the superintendent of admis-
sion, it was predicted that the paid adj
missions would exceed those of any
previous day, opening day excluded. 1t
was noticeable that among the attendance
were crowds of school children who took
advantage OF the % cent rate for children.
1t has been decided upon by the manage
ment that the gates of the fair will be
closed again tomorrow, at least the man
agement says so.
The judiciary committee which has
in charge the preparation of a report on
the action of the local directory. order
ing the return of the money appropriated
by Congress and the opening of the fair
on Sunday will bring in two reports
Monday. 1t is believed the majority
report will oppose Sunday opening and
that the minority will favor it. There
will be hot fight over the matter when
it comes up for discussion.
The national commission went into
executive session this afternoon and had
before them all the heads OF departments
to consult as to anything which might
need the immediate attention of the
commission and talk over plans for
fastening TO completion such parts of the
fair as are not yet done.

TERROR STRICKEN WOMEN.
Distressing Accident at the
Worlds Fair Grounds.
EIGHT PERSONS ARE HURT.
A Floor Gives Way in the Art Institute
Building.
Seventy-Five Women are Precipitated to
the Ground, Distance of Twelve
Feet-A Number Severely In
jured, But None Fatally.

CHICAGO, May 20.-A distressing acct
dent marred the closing day of the weeks
series of women's congresses in the art
tractive programme in Washington hall
and great crowd OF women had gathered
at the entrance, struggling to get in,
when a section of the flooring 20 by 80
feet gave way, precipitating seventy five
women to the ground below, distance
of twelve feet, in a struggling mass. The
air was at once filled with cries of pain
and terror, and almost panic spread to
the large audience already gathered in
Washington hall. Assistance was pro-
cured as quickly as possible and the
| frightened and disabled women eXtri-
Gated.
When all had been gotten out, it was
| found that eight were seriously, though
none fatally hurt, many others more or
less shaken up, but not injured enough
| to require assistance in leaving the build
| ing. So far as learned no prominent
member of the organizations represented
was hurt. The injuries are mostly to
women who came as spectators, chiefly
| from this city, and consisted of disloca-
ton OF joints and sprains, more painful
than dangerous.
| The subject to be considered IN Wash
! ington hall which brought out such q
large gathering was dress reform. and ad-
dresses were TO be delivered by Alice
Timmins Toomey of California on
'sEthics of Dress'' and other prominent
women of this and foreign countries.
Notwithstanding the accident, the pro-
gramme throughout all sections of the
congress was carried out as arranged, the
discussion ranging from dress to soci-
ology. When finally the last section OF
the great congress adjourned sine die en-
thusiastic expressions were heard on all
sides of the success of the phenomenal
meeting.
Tonight an address signed by many
delegates was presented to May Wright
Sewell and Rachel Foster Avery reciting
their appreciation of the great work done
by the two women in arranging and
carrying on the congress.
Among the ladies injured was Mrs. NJ.
H. johnson of San Francisco, who had
her left leg bruised and suffered internal
injuries.
