| baby occupant away forever from the home
which she had so blessed and comforted.
He walked beside that hearse, with one
! rough hand resting upon it, as though to
steady it over the unequal places in the
road-all the way to the graveyard, where
he must leave her-pOor little baby who was
so fond of sunshine and brightness and the
companionship of her loved ones! alone in
darkness and silence. He stood beside the
little grave until the sections work was
done, and the mound between her face and
MS rose smooth and brown and high at his
feet.
Then he went home-quite silent still
and sat himself down in a certain corner of
the garden, where and the dead baby had
builded curious flower bedD of shells
and sticks and feathers and bright bits of
cloth. Until the moon rose, clear and full,
he sat there, then he came in, quietly, and
went-with slow, uncertain steps-uP to his
chamber.
David and Julia heard him pacing I'D
and down the floor, over their heads, for
time, and then he came down the stairs
again-treading softly that they might not
hear him-and went out of the house, and
down the mOOn-lit road. They both feared
the same thing as they listened to his re-
treating footsteps, but out Of the fullness Of
their grief they found charity for his weak
ness, and neither had the heart to speak and
call him back. If the liquor which he had
80 long gone without would comfort him or
bring him Oblivion let him have it, for this
one night, they thought, and so he went out
unhiudered.
When the morning came-so bright and
fair that it seemed almost incredible that
sorrow or suffering could exist in such q
world-the village sexton, passing through
the graveyard, saw dark figure lying beside
the little new-made grave in the Daniels
lot.
It was man, probably some drunken
creature who had staggered in there and
fallen asleep, and, aghast at such sacrilege,
the sexton made his way over the wet grass
to the intruder's side to waken and expel
him. But this was a man, he saw as he drew
nearer, who had right there, for it was no
other than he who had stood beside him,
so stern and pale, as he had filed that little
grave, Ezra Daniels.
Now he lay PROSTATE on the earth, with one
arm thrown protectingly across the mound
that covered the baby whom be had loved
so dearly. There was no ordor of liquor about
the quiet figure. The clothes and hair was
wet with the dense fog which had blown in
from the ocean in the early morning, and
when, with an unusual gentleness in his
voice and touch, the sexton bent to rouse
him, he saw a stain of trickling blood upon
the white lips which were smiling although
the seal of Death was on the cold, still face,
smiling, for Uncle Ezzie " had found "his
baby" again.-PetersOn' Magazine.

But 10 resume my narrative. The
bullets began to fly like hail from the
woods, and the Texans were yelling like
fends They were like hounds let loose
from the leash who had scented their
prey; they were after blood and got it.
The fire directly increased into one un-

missiles; it was a continual hiss and
thud, the last telling that the bullet had
struck itspnark, a human body.

WIDBER MUST PAY.
A Question of Law Ruled On by the
Civ Attorney

City Attorney Creswen gave an opinion yes
rerday which places Treasurer Widber In the
position OF having TO pay $500 for something
that ala him no good. Some time since things
got badly mixed up over finances in the City
Hail. The fund for payment of salaries be-
came exhausted at the end of the Last fiscal
year in June, 1893. The Treasurer refused TO
pay salaries for June out OF this years appro.
priaton, and thus the difficulty stood. A test
case against The city by f.. Lewis, a deputy in
the Registrars office, was made. 1t was neces-
sary 10 have an attorney to represent the CITY,
but then another complication arose. District
Attorney Barnes, the City and County Attor-
ney and the Board OF Supervisors were in the
same boat with Lewis. Neither of the CITY
attorneys could be expected to fight against
Itself, nor could the board very well pass
a resolution employing an attorney to fight
It's chance OF securing 500 each. so Widber
employed Attorney Van Ness 10 represent the
city. Lewis case was successful.
The next puzzllng question was Who should
pay the expenses of the suit? According to
the law, treasurer Widber must pay. How
ever. as the decision was in favor of all Off
cas, an effort Will be made to have all officials
pay pro rata according TO their salaries ana
join Mr.. WidDer in paying the bill. The attor-
ney's opinion is az follows:

eral fund, not exceeding the sum OF $4,000 in any

In my opinion. the Board OF Supervisors alone
can employ special counsel, and a claim against
the city and county for money due for services as
special counsel is not legal unless the employment
is made by the Board OF Supervisors.

ANTI=CIGARETTE LEAGUE.

Interest in THE CALLS anti-cigarette
crusade is not abating; in fact, it is in
creasing. and before long will embrace
every boy in San Francisco who desires to
grow up to manhood in the full enjoyment
of his vigor. The injurious effects OF
cigarette-smoking have so frequently been
dwelt upon, and the examples of slaves to
the habit are so numerous, that it is only
necessary TO point out one of these exam
pies to any self-respecting boy. when he
instantly resolves to not alone not lrac-
tice the habit, but to induce his friends 10
do likewise.
The effects of the crusade in San Fran
cisco promise to extend throughout the
State. No agitation of late years has been
productive of so much good, and the effect
will be lasting. 1t will not only restrain
those who have already signed the pledge
from INDUCING in the death-dealIng haDI',
but by the force of example Of the slgners
Of the pledge deter the younger boys from
commencing smoking. Its growth through
the State is evidenced by the letters DAILY

ANOTHER ACTION.
More Trouble Among the
Krelings.
Mrs. Kreiing Charges Her Father in
Law With Conspiring With His
Sons Against Her.

Suit was filed 10 the Superior Court yesterday
by Mrs. Ernestine Kreling, widow OF the late
William Kreling. against F. w. Martin and
John kreing, asking for an Injunction and the
appointment OF receiver.
This fresh trouble in the family arises from
complications In the manufacturing business Of
Krelng & Co. The petitioner states that when
her late husband went into the furniture manu-
featuring business, with an establishment on
Guerrero street, he put the entire capital into
the concern himself, but out of a desire to do
something for his father. +. w. Kreling who
had no money to invest took him into the firm
giving him one-third interest, which con-
tinued up TO the day of William Kreling's DEATH
The value Of the business is set down IN the
complaint at 1000, and It is stated that there
are some $4,000 worth of outstanding debts
due 10 the firm. Mrs. Kreling says that +. W.
X cling is over 70 years Of age, speaks not one
word of English. and is totally incapable of
managing business or taking anv active part
therein. Ii Is alleged that since William krel-
ing's death +. w. krehng has caused il to be
given out, and has himself acknowledged that
bis TWO sons, Martin and John KEELING, were
partners in the finn, and has persisted in such
declarations despite Mrs. William Kreling's
vigorous protests.
II is stated that both John and Martin
Krelng are impecunious and insOlvent; that
John kreling has not been Interested 10 any of
MS brother Williams affairs since May r.
1856, and never was interested in any of his
affairs at all. Yet in spite Of that, f. W. krelng
has allowed his sons 10 take stock OF the bust
ness. the result being that they have reported
stock In trade 10 be worth SIS, 900, whereas in
reality $4,000 would be nearer the mark.
All this Mrs. hrellng asserts has been done
with a view to in1ure her and GUST her from The
concern, and she is afraid that Martin and John
hrelng Will also collect outstanding debts and
not account for the mOney-perhaps have some
OF the premises attached for their own liabiIi-
ties. So an Injunction is asked for restraining
the defendants from taking any action In regard

A STRANGE CASE.
The Medical Profession Are Inter-
eSted i'm II,

Medical circles are much exercised over the
strange case of a patient who recently died at
the City and County Hospital from causes un-
known until an autopsy was performed. which
revealed that the man had four perfectly
formed Kidneys.
DIR. Stanley Stilman had the case in hand,
and Immediately after the subject had been
dlssected and the discovery mentioned made,
he consulted with other physicians. who having
satisfied themselves that the doctors assertions
were correct, pronounced the case without
parallel In the history of the medical profess
sion. The subject was turned over to DR.. II. j.
JeSsup. who has taken steps to preserve the
specimens of the autopsy. DR.. Rchford will
make microscopic examination OF the two
unnatural kidneys, make a report and later on
denver a lecture before the students OF the
Cooper Medical College.
Dr. Sttllman says that the man certainly died
as result of the unnatural growth referred to-
