A smile which transfgured the plain, an

almost lovable lit up her face, and setting
down her watering pot she touched the
leaves of the plant reverently and with sub
dued joy. She had guarded it so faithfully
and tenderly for months, and now it was
about to reward her for all her devotion.
Her flowers were all Miss Susan had in
life to love. Upon them she lavished the
affection of her lonely, desolate old heart.
She was the last of her name. The rest all

She softly pushed open the door of the
hut in which Amy Bowers had died and
went in Two or three women had COM
pleted the office of caring for the dead and
sat in the outer room conversing in sub
dued tones Miss Susan went on into the
bedroom. The boy sat by the bed. his head
resting against his dead mother's arm. His
pathetic little offering was clasped in her
cold hands.
Very gently Miss Susan laid across the
sleeper's breast long stalk of waxeu, per
fumed lilies-her Easter lilies. And as the
child started up with cry Of gratitude she
held out her arms to him. He hesitated
moment, then buried his head upon her
shoulder, understanding without one ques-
tion, one word, through the mysterious
language Of the heart, that he was no lon
ger motherless.
And the dead woman, lying there in the
beauty Of the lilies, knew, too, for the Eas-

he pressed his sleeve across his eyes and
walled forth that most terrible of sorrow-
the grief of the motheriess.
When Miss Susan re-entered her sitting
room, the first thing her eyes rested ON was
that slender spire of lilies. Its perfume
filed the room, and it seemed almost alive

everlasting life

Suddenly she stopped, and her eyes sought
the floor. In the mirror of her imagination
Miss Susan saw a miserable room, a dead
woman lying robed for the grave, and on
her pulseless breast the thin hands held a
poor little cluster of teaberriss and vines.
Many other pictures glided across that
mirror, and when at last Miss Susan raised
her head there was a look of sublime reso-
luton upon her face, glimmer of the light
that never was on sea or land.

HURT BY THE STRIKE
FREIGHT TRAFFIC of INDIANAPo-
LIS LINES SERIOUSLY AFFECTED.
Over HOO Fewer Loaded Cars Han
ceding Weel<-Railway Notes.

The train records show that 1404 fewer
loaded cars were received and forwarded
at indianapolis in the week ending June
30 than in the week ending June %, and
that the loss was wholly N the last half
OF the week and the result of the Pullman
strike, which has seriously interfered with
abe movement of through freights and more
or less affected local business. The better
prices for Germ and oats had considerably
increased the shipments OF these cereals
to central and New England States points,
but the trouble in getting cars handled at
Western grain centers has perceptibly
checked the movement. Shipments of live
stock 10 Eastern markets are heavy, and
several tIainloads of fine cattle for export
were shipped last week. Shipments Of pro-
visions and poultry are heavier than at the
corresponding period last year. but in man.
ufactured goods, cerealine products ex>
cepted, a marked shortage is noticeable,
even when compared with June, 1898, and,
going further back, the exhibit is even
mucn more unfav0rable. West-bound traf-
expected that the tonnage of higher class
freights will be light, but a heavy move>
ment OF lower class freights is looked for,
as by July many improvements in the way
OF iron structural work are in progress,
but it is evident that cities all over the
West are practicing the greatest econo-
mics in that direction Local business was
aided some by the resumption of work by
the local miners; still local traffic is not
as heavy it should be. This should be
said, however: indianapolis roads are
handling locally much more live stock than
in June last year, and the busy times with
the cerealine mills and starch works re-
quire large quantities Of corn daily, and,
while the flour mills are not doing as much
as thirty days ago, they are doing more
than at the corresponding period last year.
From Com mission row the shipments OF
fruits and vegetables are in excess of last
year. Below is given the number of cars
received and forwarded at this point for
the week ending June 80, as compared
with the corresponding week of the two
preceding wears:

Got Both Burglars.

LAPORTE, Ind, June 30-George and
William Collom, proprietors of q general
store at Mill Creek, this county, were
awakened at l o'clock this morning by the
burglar alarm that connects their residence
with the store. They quickly armed them
shotgun and proceeded to the building,
block distant George stationed himself at
the rear door with the gun and William
went to the front window, through which
he saw two men busily engaged in select
ing goods to carry away. He fired his re-
volver in the air and commanded the men
to surrender, but they made a break for
the rear door, where they encountered
George COLON. One of the burglars drew
but without effect. The robbers had by
this time emerged from the store, and
started to run, when COLON opened fire
on them with the gun. He lodged a load
of shot in the back of each of them, and
killed one of them almost outright, while
the other is probably fatally injured.
The wounded man was brought here and
placed in jail. He is about twenty years
DID, and gives his name as James Carr
and his home as Durand. Pa, where his
mother lives. He disclaims all knowledge
OF his companion, and says they never met
before until last night, when they were
put off Al Mill Creek from a Grand Trunk
train. There was nothing on the person of
the dead man to identify him. A razor in
closed in a cloth sack was found suspended
down his back from a string attached to
his neck. He was about forty years old,
and had the appearance of an all-round
tough. This is the seventh attempt made
in recent years to rob COLON Brothers
store, and on two previous occasions the
robbers were winged, but not serious
enough to prevent their escape.
