lied this fact. and the way he did
sprint for the place was a caution. The
hour was very early and the few peo-
pie who saw the fellow had TO use a

was one minute late, but fortunately
nobody was on hand to take his car.

One Of the greatest features connect
ed with the B. & o. road at the present
time is the Employees Relief Assocla-
ton.
Few people outside OF the service Oh
the company hardly realize what I'M
portant benefits are derived from this
organization and how j. helps the B. &
o. company along. Years ago before
the EMPLOYEES were required to be III
sured there were no end to court cases.
while now there is nothing Of this ma
ture. To-day on this road. each EN-
Move is entitled to 50 much II ne gets
hurt, or dies.
BEFORE it was always the case to
have a lot Of beggars around the pay
car asking for something. Now there
Is nothing of this kind. Employees
can also deposit money in the institu-
ton and four per cent is guaranteed
them. but for three years past 512 has
been Maid all depositors. Money Is
also loaned and only 6 per cent. is
charged. Taken all in all it is very
good thing. especially for men who are
on the road to have plenty Of insur-
ance and in this way the B. & o. will
Give each employe a chance to take out
any amount he desires. Speaking OF
the association, a well known passen-
ger conductor stated yesterday that
he had been in it for years and he
thought it was one Of the best insur-
ance features before the public TO
day. Only employees Of the road are
eligible. but a person once in the ser
vice can if he leaves the same keep up
his insurance and get the same bo2ohJs
as all others.

The Moundsyille, Benwood and

periencing water famine, For three
days now water has been hauled to
the barns and there is no supply in
either one Of the wells as yet. The
new well was dug down to quite a
distance. and finally a charge Of dyna-
mite placed in the bottom, but without
effect. The only thing left now is to
lay q pipe to the river and unless this
is done the cars may quit running.

OF A BROKEN HEART.
Mrs. Walker Died Soon After Her
Husbands Funeral.
The Widow of Lieute pant Walk er Pre-
dictcd Her Fate.

Newark, April 2l.-The phrase 'broken
heart" is not used in conventional
sense in this story. Ii is about woman
whose heart really broke, so that she died
when she saw her husband, her lover,
her hero, carried TO the grave by his co m
rades.
The story itself dates back to period
a few months before the close of the civil
war. A body of Federal soldicry marched
one day, with drums rolling and colOrs
flying into "A small town in Illinois near
the Kentucky border. At its head rode n
brOnZed youth with an air of authority
Major Walker who had relatives living in
the place.
The townspeople made fuss over the
fighting men, and in the evening the
young major was dragged to a school
entertainment 10y his little nephew. In
the viyacious crowd that had assembled
partly in his honor, the soldier singled
out one face, "A little school teacher who
had left her home i'm Newark, y. j., to
visit friends in Illinois.
For Major Walker il was a romantic
little interludc in the stress of wa rfarC.
When he marched To the front again it
was with miniature of the Newark girl
in his breast pocket, and her face appear
cd before him when the smoke of battle
shut out all other sights. In 1865. after
receiving his commission as colonel he
FASTENED TO Newark and made her his
wife.
After living in the west and southwest
four or five years, Colonel Walker was
given q commission in tho regular army,
but for the love of his wife, who longed
10 return TO Newark, he abandoned his
career as a fighting man and returned tn
New Jersey Joining the police force in
Newark, he quickly rose 10 the rank of
lieutenant. As the years passed and
children came, the love between husband
ana wife grew more tender. Mrs. Walker
often said that she would not survive her
hero If be should die first.
She was right n week or two ago
Lieutenant Walker fell i'll. Mrs Walker
nursed him night and day. Between
anxiety and fatigue her health broke
down, and she was carried away from his
bedside i'm state of collapse. A week
later her husband died. They feared 60 let
her look upon his wasted features, but she
would not be denied the mournful privi-
lego OF seeing his funeral procession pass

That was on Monday. Mrs Walker
should have been in he'd, but she dragged
herself to the window and watched the
cortege as IL passed hy. She was strangely
excited. Her eyes followed the hearse as

brilliant as those eyes.

widow 1t is not for long you arc

IN swoon. Ihcy picked her up and
laid her in bed All that physicians
could do was done for her. But at mid
night she was dead. Her heart was
broken.
