drawn.

He did not seem to unders tand.
1T is not for myself / care. When I
first knew all was gone there was
sense of relief The strain had been
SO great; the sleepless nights, the
terrible struggle, had worn me out
But then came the thought Of you and
the children. All is gone; do you un.
derstand, Margaret, your money, too?

the little house your grandmother left

Robert said, putting my arms
around him, II know, but have you.
l have been wicked, selfish woman;
but if God will forgive me will be
better wife and mother now"
In a moment I was clasped in his
arms, happier than ] had been in
years.
Lent passed very differently than I
had expected. Every moment was
filed to overfowing, but I sang gayly
over my work, and Robert and l felt
as if we were living cur honeymoon
over again.
Of course there were many annoy.
ances, direct cuts from people who had
been glad TO be entertained by us in
our prosperity, and harder still to
bear, patronage from persons who had
been only acquaintance, not friends.
Yet there was the happiness of finding
we had made real friends; thoughtful
kindness that touched our hearts For
if adversely shows us our enemies, it
also shows us our friends.
We had decided to leave New York,
go to the pretty town of Rushford and
live in the little cottage that was left
us. Robert would start in business
with the money my diamonds had
brought. 1t was almost without a
pang that | saw my beautiful home
dismantled, and the week before Easter
found us safe in our new habitation.
Some of our plainest furniture was
brought from our city home, and never
did room look prettier to me than did
my tiny parlor with its gray carpet and
dotted muslin curtains, and when my
godfather sent me as present the lit
tie piano that had stood in my boudoir,
I believe it made me happier than any
thing that had ever been given me.
Easter proved a beautiful day, SO
Robert and I, with our two little ones,
went to the quaint old church. How
different it all seemed. The bright
sunlight streaming through the win
dows. and the only decoration was tha
bunch of violets on the desk. The con-
gregation of true and earnest people
sang as if their hearts were in the
hymn; the minister prayed as if he
were having a talk with loved friend,
and the sermon was the plain and sim
pie gospel of the Christ who is indeed
risen.
As my little girl crept close to me
and laid her golden head, with con-
fiding gesture, against my arm, my
heart overfowed with thankfulness
that at last knew the joys of wife and
motherhood. and was no longer "a
soulless doll"
That evening, as we sat around our
cheerful hearth, my husband, bending
to kiss me, said:

without lilies, has been the truest Sab

RUMBLiNGS ON THE RAIL.

TIE receipts of the worlds railroads
In 1888 were e494, 500, 900; the expenses
were $500, ,530;OO0; net gains were $780,
e70, ,oO0
THERE are in this country So, 2s1 loco
motives, 24,sS1 passenger cars, 1900
mail and baggage cars and 1,16s, $40
freight cars.
THE first railroad line in Australia
was opened in 1854 from Melbourne to
Hobson's Bay. Now there are 1o,1S7
miles of track.
In 1913 William Burton patented a
locomotive that was provided with legs
and feet behind to push the machine
along the track.
THE most elevated railroad in the
world is the Lima e. Oroya, in Peru.
1t ascends to an elevation of 15, $40
feet above the sea.
THE engineers on the early roads
would not run during rain, on the the
ory that the track was SO slippery the
engine would run off
GREAT BRITAIN has 1850 miles of
railroad; France, 10000; Germany. "a

THE COLORADO MIDDLE.

The Contest Over the Two Petty Ohhces
Which Has Caused All the Row Sub
mftted to the Supreme Court-A Tilt
In Court Between Attorneys-Recau of
the Troops Sent to Preserve Order at
Cripple Creek.
DENVER, Col. March 20.-The con-
test over two petty offices that in
wolves the duties and rights of Gov.
Waite as he construes them, and that
involves the question of succession to
Hon. Edward 0. Wolcott. United
States senator, came before the SUI
preme court yesterday afternoon. At
torney f. M. Taylor, representing
Martin, filed personal communica-
tion, which explains the reason why
an injunction was asked for in the dis
trict court to restrain the governor
from using force to expel Martin
and Orr from Office. 1t renewed
the request for an inquiry as to
the rights of the governor to call
out the militia. and concluded that
should the court judicially determine
the issue adversely to Martin and Orr,
they would be advised to abide by the
opinion of the court
The hearing, while solemn occa-
sion, as the governors plea recites.
was interspersed by many informal
queries propounded by each Of the
three justices and cross-interrogato tories
between counsel. Several times state
ments were made that provoked the
mirth of the large audience beyond re-
straint and even the solemn Judges re-
laxed their judicial decorum for brief
moments
1t was admitted by inference that
the chief executive of Colorado was err
ratio and peculiar and his vagaries
were most uncertain at times, and the
lawyers for Gov Waite refused to dis
cuss his right to call out the militia.
Mr.. Taylor suggested that it is the first
time in the history of the country that
a contest over petty offices was digni
fed by reason of the fact that the chief
executive had exercised a peculiar
right and had brought it before the
supreme court upon the plea of a
solemn occasion. He asked the court
not to answer the governors question
but permit it to go through the ac-
customed channels of law. He con-
tended that the function of the gov
erDor ended with the appointment of
officials.
Gov. Waite's attorneys disclaimed
ever advising Gov. Waite upon the
matter Of calling out the troops, but
argued that the present steps were the
only means of averting disaster to pub
lie peace and good order. Under the
ruling of the supreme court in a SINH
lar case they argued that the governor
had the right to remove and that there
should not have been resistance of
those rights when exercised within the
scope of the authority vested in him.
The court will require a number of
days to prepare decision as several
very serious questions are involved be-
sides that of the simple reply to the
question whether Martin and Orr or
Barnes and Mullins are entitled to GER
tain municipal Offices in the city of
Denver.

The Recall of the Militia from Crfppl
Creek.

DENVER Col, March 20.-The deci-
sion Of Gov. Waite yesterday morning
to recall the militia from Cripple
Creek was received with general salts
faction there It is believed that the
sheriff will now be able to preserve or
der in the camp. Gen. Tarsney told
the governor by telephone that there
appeared to be no disorder in the
camp, and that no one had resisted
the sheriff's deputies when papers
were properly ser we'd.
When the militia re turn the order to
disband will not be given. A strong
guard will be left on duty in case it is
found necessary by the governor to
storm the hill again.
The withdrawal of the troops from
Cripple Creek now leaves the situation
Just as it was, in the hands of the
sheriff and his deputies That he will
proceed to arrest the men against
whom warrants have been issued is as
sured The charges against these men
are violating the order of the courts,
despoiling property and restraining
miners from working.
