the neighbors first said l was mad.
They asked me lots of questions, but
/ could answer everythin' jest as sensi-
bic az anyone. Then they took Dolly
away from me to be buried; but it
didn't make any difference; knew she
had To go; it was part of everythin'
that she should.
1.-THE next thing was to put me in
prison. I've been sittin' here day after
day aud hour after hour, with nothin'
to do but to think about Dolly. My
thoughts have been throbbin' and
burnin' and jumpin' in my head fit to
make it split in two; still love to
think of Dolly. Nobody Ens wanted to
hear about Dolly; nobody has wanted
to know how sweet and 'ovin' she was,
till you came to me, sir. They have
asked me questions; they have talked
and talked. I've been examined, and
lawyer fellers said was mad, only be-
cause / told them right off that I killed
Dolly. They asked me if did it, and
all about it, and then they seemed to
think it queer for me to say did.
"When I begin to tell about my life
and Dolly, every human bein', men,
women and children, turn away from
me. They don't know my heart is
broke; they jest think I'm kind of
wild beast, and they don't care to think
different. But it doesn't make any diff
ference; nothin' makes any difference,
now that Dolly is gone. You see, Dolly
understood-Dolly knew she had to
die"
The tired, husky tones ceased. The
cramped cell was almost dark. In the
uncertain light of the dying day sat
John Blake, his head bent, his voice
stilled, his story told. He reither spoke
nor stirred again. He seemed to have
forgotten the doctors presence. twas
useless to attempt to rouse him. All
that remained to him of life and reason
was centered in the shriveled rose in
his hand. The doctor left the cell. The
examination was over. = Illustrated

As his wife tagged herself for the

envelope.

looks. One of 'em, with a frightened
face and big tears in her eyes, stopped
and threw a flower in to me, runnin'
off as fast as she could after the others.
81 picked up the flower. 1t was a
rosebud, one of Dolly's roses. l tool;
it and held it against my forehead. My
head was so hot that the cool, sweet
leaves withered in minute. Perhaps
/ held it there longer than thought,
because when took my hard away the
rose was all brown, lookin' as old as the
one I've got here in my pocketbools.
You see, Dolly and roses belong togeth-

it was like kissin' Dolly once more; but
it was like kissin' Dolly after she was
dead; my burnin' head had taken all
the life out of the poor little rose"

rough voice sounded in the corridor.

"Wewere SO happy continued Blake,
scarcely needing the interruption. Inc
days few by, and Dolly's birthday came
along before knew it. IT was about
Christmas time, so red roses were get
tin pretty expensive, but Dolly had to
have bunch of them on her birthday
the first birthday she'd had since we
was married. I'm not sure whether
kissed her 20 times or not, because gen.
orally did kiss her 20 times, anyway.
That day made up my mind ia have
some fun with her. / got up early in the
mornin', while her pretty head was still
cuddled in her piller, and her blue eyes
SO sleepy, it seemed as If she was little
girl six years old.
"She looked SO cunnin' and innocent,
and she didn't want to get up one bit.
I wrapped silver breastpin in pink
cotton, and put it in carved wooden
box I'd bought. ] dropped box and all,
quite careless-lke, into one of Dolly's
shoes. and then dressed myself jest as
quiet as if 1t wasn't anybody's birth
day at all. I guess Dolly's feelin's were
bit hurt when talked about ordinary
things, as if I had no idea what day it
was; but you ought to have seen her
face when she tried to draw on that
shoe.
Then she did behave as if she really
was six years old, and I felt about 16
myself. After breakfast l went to my
work, leavin' Dolly smilin' over her
breastpin. Not word did say to her

NINE FEET OF RAIN.
That Amount Has Fallen Upon the Coast
of Oregon In One Year.

of Oregon In One Year.
1t is difficult for one used to ordinary
rainfall to comprehend the extent to
which precipitation falls upon the
coast of Oregon. At Bandon, in Janu-
airy, the rainfall was 49,. inches, suf-
flcient in a single month to moisten
for year the. earth and bring forth
bounteous crops on the rich arabic
lands of eastern Washington. During
1895 the rainfall at one point in Tilla-
nook county was more than nine feet.
1t other words, if it had been caught
and retained on a level, it would have
converted the country there into a vast
deep lake.
The heavy rainfall extends north
ward along the coast into Alaska, and
at some points in that territory the
precipitation is said to be practically
continuous. The skies are forever
weeping, and the mountains are eter-
nally swathed in mists and clouds.
As 4 consequence the trails are never
entirely dry. and the jungle of the for
ests is impenetrable.
Notwithstanding the heavy rainfall
at points on the west coast of Oregon
and Washington, the people living
there like the climate. While the pre-
cipitation is generally much heavier
there than upon this side of the coast
and Cascade mountains, the extreme
rainfall is experienced in spots only.
As rule they have along the coast
three OF four times the precipitation
we experience in this section. Back of
the Coast range of mountains the rain
fail is less, and coming back of the Cas-
cades it shows even a more marked de-
creasc.-SpOkane Spokesman.

| about my comm home early. All the
same, I had managed to get half day
off, and some tickets were promised to
me for the theater that night. /
couldn't keep my face straight to save
nv life, but went around all the morn
in GRIMM from ear to ear. At noon
I knocked off work. I had good luck
about the theater tickets and found
some red roses, most as sweet as Dolly
herself.
"Well, did feel like fool awaken
along the street with them flowers in
nv hand, and smilin' at nothin' at all.
But when thought of Dolly's pleasure,
and the surprise it would be to her to
see me at that time of day with the
roses, the tickets, and everythin', after
she'd thought she'd had all the birth
day presents she was goin' to have

softly you couldn't have heard it, and
then l stood as still as death, not even

to lay my hand on my old friend, wher
l saw Dolly turn her Mead and rest it
on Jim's shoulder, givin' him the smile

that broke mine.
"'Dolly!' said, softly. All did was
to walk up to where she were stanGin'
but jim turned white and lookedPfo
the other door. I'm strcng man, big
ger than most fellers, yet took Dolly's
two hands very gentle in mine, and
looked in her eyes. Jim was gone. The
door shut and knew he went, though
1 ditn't turn my head. There was no
need to look at Jim again.
Dolly stood before me. My Dolly,
so young and so pretty, was goin' to
die. She knew it. There's been only
two thoughts in my mind from that
day to this-Dolly's goin' to die, and
Dolly's dead. She stood there, shakin'
wanted her to speak to me. Oh, it was
so dreadful that she didn't speak,
Then the room began to rock like
ship. 1t got dark. ! couldn't see no
light but Dolly's face, and felt we was

fastened them to her dress for her.
When the people came into the room

gone and told them 20 come and find
