ken by so many disturbing dreams,
how was it that her limb had SO sud-
denly healed? Why had she grown SO
weak? She saw her hands and in
wonder held them to the light They
were wasted and thin and looked al
most like the withered hands of an old
woman! She was frightened and
thought of Rip Van Wrinkles sleep Of
twenty years and with terror at her
heart cried:
What day is this? What month?
What year? How long have 1 been
here?"
Now is the accepted time; behold
now is the Gay of salvation!"
How long have l been here? A day?
How many years?"
lone day is with the Lord as a
thousand years and a thousand years
as one day. He esteemeth every day
alike"
mo, no, not twenty years! 1 have
not slept twenty years? But you look
older! | look older! l wonder If l am
very old? have been sick-oh, l Won
der how long! 1t must be terribly
long time since came here!"
She fell back and drew coil of her
long, shining black hair before her
face, half fearful that she was now an
old woman whose hair had grown
white through the bleaching of years.
She felt that it was years, more years
than she could guess, since she left
Barton.
Tears flowed from her closed eyes.
Over her stood the Prophet still si-
lently extending the water toward her.
When her tears ceased and her heavy,
regular respirations told him that she
slept again he put aside the vessel and
resumed his devotions before the altar.
All through the night she slept and
when the morning broke upon the
world without, she aWoke SO much re-
freshed that she was able to rise to
sitting posture
Almost Immediately the Prophet
! came in and offered her food which she
ate without knowing what it was or
from whence it came.
Having eaten, she begged the Prophet
to assist her to the door that she might
once again see the bright light of day
and once mo- l. ef ha the pure ali o.
the hills. Without as Ner he went out
and she heard him remove the fasten-
ings OF the ironcl d door. Then he
returned and gathered her in his arms
as tenderly as young mother gathers
her first born from its cradle, and bore
her to the outs de where he placed hei
upon a stool, with her back resting
against one of tie great stones of the
wall
Leaving her there he silently went
again into his hut.

Indian Gill Actress,

Comparatively few people are aware
of the fact that the real name Of
Gretchen Lyons, the beautiful actress
and singer who is now playing the
role of Puck in Marie Wainwright's
Shakesperian play, "A Midsummer
Nights Dream" is Ollie Heath, and
that she is Cherokee Indian girl,
born ard raised at Brushy MOI ntain,
near Muscccee, ]. T., ard sehooled at
the female seminary at Talleq' ah and
Harrell Institute at Musro ea
Eight years ago Ole Heath was
pupil at the femal seminary at Tah-
lequah and one of the prettiest school,
girls that ever graced tie big chapel
during study hour. Size Was an Or
phan and with little means to pay tut
tion and board she was admitted only
to the primary department of the
school. After leaving the female SEM
mary her education was completed at
Muscogee, she having graduated at
Harrell Institute abou. three years ago
with the highest honors of her class.
During her school life she displayed
remarkable histrionic talent and al
ways played the leading roles in the
private theatricals occasionally given.
A little over two years ago she took
advantage of an offer to go on the
stage Since then but little has been
heard from her by her territory friends
except a few intimates, until recently
Her recent successes have brought her
into prominence in theatrical and mu-
steal circles, aud her pictures now
adorn the pages Of the metropolitan
magazines and dailies.
The Cherokees are very proud OF
Miss Heath, as they have a right to
be, for she has demonstrated that In
dian girls may attain success before
the footlights and be on an equality
in every way with their white sisters.

TOM COYNE ABANDONS HIS AR
TIL EPY


Miss Stella sat there in the welcome
glow of the sun, inhaling the pure
fresh air with a great physical delight
while the soft mo ming zephyr gently
famed and refreshed her like a potent
elixir.
What a restful rest it was! What a
delight; what a glorious, satisfying
repose! There seemed to be nothing
in the world left to be wished for-if
she could sit there forever, motionless,
absorbing light and air and sunshine
and rest!
Far down within the lost, unmoved
depths of her tranquil mind there was
faint, unrealiZed inclination to think
of something outside of herself, and be-
yond the moment in some direction;
but TO do so involved an exertion which
she lacked the desire to make. To
think would be to invite fatigue and
she felt so weak that she wished only
10 rest forever, with her mind as blank
and still as the placid bosom Of an un7
troubled pool.
The lapse of time was unnoted and
the protracted absence of the Prophet
was unnoticed.
"HulloIn
She looked around and saw Tom
Coyne with his elongated artillery on
his shoulder. His presence did not
surprise her; she was not interested in
his presence or in his erlana
thing beyond her own restful rest
She knew that Tom Coyne was beside
her but that fact as all that she ex-
erted herself to comprehend
Coed morning, Tom"
Thunder! Jerusalem crickets. Steii
Zenith! Whered you come from?"
She was so thin nd wasted and pale
that he had not re ognized her till she
spoke. In startled surprise he relaxed
his grasp upon his gun, which fell with
loud rattle and clangor upon the
stones. She was not interested in Tom
or his artillery, but she was too indo.

His energy aroused her dormant
mind all at once. a great longing to
be at home with her parents and sis
ters surged over her soul and she
cried:
"Oh, Tom! Take me home? I can't
walk; can't you take me home, Tom

Residents of Cheshire appeared before the county commissioners, yesterday morning, and opposed the granting of a liquor license to Clifford B. Bradley the proprietor of the Waverly Inn in that town.
 When Bradley filed an application with the county commissioners a re- monstrance was prepared, signed by about twenty-five residents of Cheshire, on the ground that the applicant was an unsuitable person to have license. Ex-Congressman Pigott appeared for the remonstrants, and the applicant supported his own claim.
 The names of the residents who sign ed the remonstrance are: J. R. Palmer, John R. French, J. H. Williams, c. L. Benham, J. s. Haugh, J. D. Andrews, c. S Bennett, T. s. French, W. NJ.

Thursday contractors begin tearing down the building of the Home Fur nishing company, 761 Chapel street.
 To-day is the final one of the big wind-up sale at that establishment, and the outgo of household furnishings pur- chased Is sure to be unprecedented.
 The company has been unable to se- cure longer time, for the owner is anxious to begin the new structure Consequently they are compelled to commence moving Monday and finish by Wednesday. For the convenience of some belated buyers they have arrang- ed to receive customers and sell goods until they are actually removed from the store It is a grand chance to buy, as the company practically goes out of business to-day.

 BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.

Clouds of Dust Interfere With Comfort -Board Will Consider the Subject-Bids for the Substructure of Mill River Bridge
 Contract Goes to Clark X Co. of New York.
 Mayor Farnsworth yesterday received a letter from a prominent citizen call ing his attention to the need of water ing the streets of the city on Sunday. The mayors correspondent stated that as the day was occupied by a large number of the inhabitants in walking bicycling, driving or riding upon elec- tric cars, and as these people were usu- ally attired in their best clothes, the clouds of dust arising from the unsprln- kled streets seriously interfered with the complete enjoyment of the day.
 There was no formal action taken on the matter at the meeting of the board of public works last evening, but the members informally declared in favor of an order to carry out the suggestion of the writer of the communication. At the next regular meeting the matter will be considered At that time any one wishing to be heard on the subject vii! be given an opportunity to do so.
