How cruel he was after oil her love
for himi Why did he not come and
save herr No, 1t was Val that must
be saved at any cost, and there WAS
no other way. She stumbled along,
and the pains of death rose before
her eyes. Oh the horror OF 1.-THE
fiery ball eating her flesh, the agony
of writhing in the dust, for she felt
sure Andy would not miss. Just as
her resolutions were slipping away
from her, something cleaned white
in the moonlight on the roadside.l 1t
was rough stone cross, inviting the
passer-by to pray for the soul of one
suddenly launched into eternity.
Moved by sudden impulse. she flung
herself at it's foot and prayed as she
had never prayed before that what
ever sins she had committed might
be blotted out by this last sacrifice
made in the spring OF her youth, and
that the path of trial she was about
to tread would lead her to the heaven
where in Gods good time she would
meet Val again. Then she rose and
walked on, and all fear left her; only
love for Val remained, that love
which was prompting her to lay down
her life for his sake. One hesitation,
and she has turned aside down the
pathway through Perrin Woods, where
the moonlight falls in patches and
flakes and bars-the pathway leading
to her long rest.
Val was the first to find the body,
as it lay huddled up, little heap in
patch of light. A CHASTITY red
streak showed where her life had
ebbed away, and those pretty curls
were all dabbled and splashed with
the blood that formed pool around
her. The cold face lay white and
awful to the sky, and the eyes seemed
to culver as the Pickering rays fell
upon them. He staggered, and q
mist seemed to pass before him; then
he knelt down by tho side of the
body and gently drew down the eye
lids. Something was clasped in the
limp hand, but crushed in folds in
her death struggle. He took it and
smoothed it Quit was photograph
of himself. And as he knelt there,
needless of the possibility of lurk-
ing foe, everything gradually dawned
upon him-the all absorbing love,
the courage, the despair that had
laid her dead at his feet, and he hid
his face in his hands. Then he rose,
and, with q long kiss on the poor
cold lips, left her to God and the
wailing night wind.
Andy O'Shea was never seen in An
theen again, but his gun, with one
barrel discharged, which was found
by the bank of the river, left no doubt
as to his fate.
Val Hastings left England almost
Immediately for East Africa, and,
while going up country, met with
band Of slave traders. One survivor
of his band alone returned to Zanzi-
bar, and his tale of its complete an
Inhalation has never been contra
dicted. And doubtless Winifred's
prayer has been answered.-[Sketch.

Two Killed and Many Manv1ed I'm q
Chicago Street Railway Wreck.
Under the center of the Chicago River
In the Washington street tunnel rum
away Milwaukee avenue train Tuesday
night dashed into Madison street train,
the grip of the former and the Ogden
avenue trailer of the latter telescoping
each other. Result: Two men dead,
score or more passengers hurt, some seri-
ously. According to the little informa-
ton that could be obtained from the
gripman Of the runaway train, his grip
broke just as he reached the arch OF the
tunnel. His heavily loaded train shot
forward down the incline and before ne
could set the brakes II had acquired such
Roadway that the brakes were practically
useless. The rails were wet and Slip
perry, and the train slid onward with
ever-increasing momentum toward the
cars in front of 1t, Notwithstanding the
gripman bore down on the brake lever
with all his weight and strength, and
poured sand on the rails. He yelled at
the top Of his voice and rang his gong,
hoping the gripman ahead would under
stand and let go the cable. but he did not
seem to comprehend. Passengers on the
runaway train were thrown into a panic
and some tried to get out. but the cars
were so crowded that they simply wedg-
ed each other in tighter. The crash came
just in the middle of the tunnel under
the river. There was n bump, ripping
of timbers, grinding, crushing sound,
and the two trains came to a standstill,
wrenched and broken Mt the bottom of
the grade. Then were heard other sounds.
There were shrieks of fear and groans of
pain. Fire added it's terrors to the STAN
pede which followed the wreck, but for
tunately the flames were extinguished be-
fore additional injury and suffering were
inflicted. The work of rescue and clear
ing away the wreck was conducted by the
firemen, and occupied two hours.

THE ROSE SHE GAVE.

This-the rose she gave to me.
With it's crimson tips;
Red-as any rose should be,
Having touched her lips.
And with something of her grace,
And the beauty of her face.
This--the rose she gave to me,
Bloomed where south winds stir
Hid its honey from the bee
For the lips of her
Through long days disquieted
For those lips to kiss it red
This-the rose she gave to me;
Never rose SO sweet
Here the heart of springtime see
Lean, and hear it beat
Life, and all its melody
In the rose she gave to me

POOLING BILL SURE TO PASS

Canvass of the Senate Shows a Major
ity in Favor of the Measure.
There is a well-defned impression in
Washington that the Senate will agree
to the railroad pooling bill practically as
II passed the House. A careful canvass
of that body has been made and the
friends of the measure are sure of ma
jcrity. The complexion of the Interstate
Commerce Committee, consisting of Sen
ators Butler, German, Brice, Camden,
Lindsay, Smith, Cullom, Wilson, Chand-
Ter, Wolcott, and Higgins, is indicative of
speedy and favorable action. 1t is not
regarded as at all likely that any serious
attempt to widen the latitude of the
measure will be made, owing to a fear
that such action would imperil its chances
not only in the Senate, but in the House
when the amendment goes back to that
body to be acted upon. Leading Republi-
cans in the Senate say there will be no
partisan opposition to the bill.

We adhere to the conviction previously expressed that until there is a decided falling off in the crop moyement,it would be idle to expect any decided or sus- tained advance in prices, although it is well to remember that the short interest is pretty large and that the market would probably respond readily to bullish news.
