mended something or other and went
away. But he did more. For this med
ical magical person had daughter, one
Of those who spend their lives in good
works. And she, moved deeply by the
sadness OF the thing, came to nurse the
girl. and instead of reading to the pa
tents in the hospitals, sat all day long
with Ruth while her sister was at work,
and talked to her and prayed over her
continually with the sunshine Of sym
pathy and friendship. She also sent In
piano and played to the sick girl. In
the evening Naomi came home, and
when the librarian could get away, he,
too, came and read or talked Of grave
things, thoughts concerning men and
women and the conduct Of life and the
teaching which is read aloud in the
churches without ceasing, and remains
as much neglected as ever. So they
talked her poor wearled brain into rest.
But ever and anon the dying girls eyes
would wander troubled round the room,
and she would 60 back to her prison
cell, and she would call again for her
baby and dandle the pretty child before
his father-the father so handsome and
80 good.
One evening, when she felt little
about her marriage.
Harry wouldn't marry me openly and
take me to his own people, sh @ said,
because no was dependent on his
father. But he wouldn't give me up,
and one day he told me that he had
everything ready and would marry me
secretly in a registrars office. But
was to tell nobody-not even you, dear;
and promised. He took me In q cab, I
don't know where. One Of his friends,
Mr.. Middlemist, who was a clerk in his
fathers office, came with US. We got
out Of the cab at the office, and went
within. So that his father should not
find out, he signed false name. He
took his mothers name, and signed him

am his wife, dear, as much as the law
can make me-"
When Naomi told this to the librarian,
he said that now they knew the particu-
lars nothing would be easier than to
| find out where the marriage took place,
because q register is kept, and can be
consulted. And he took certain steps
unknown to the two sisters.
After this they talked no more about
the past. As the bodily frame grew
weaker her mind became more restful.
During the day she seemed to forget the
past. She listened, her hollow eyes
looking far away, while her nurse-the
physicians daugeter-played to her; on
| the wings OF the music she was borne
away to the land Of holy thought. When
she talked 1t was Of the future-now so
near-when her child should be re-
stored to her. The past. as she truly

no touch OF shame-not the least touch.

BROWN ALUMNI AROUSED.
Make an Appeal to Uphold the Inssrssts Of
the University.

the
The following petition, which is to
be presented to the Brown corporation
at its next meeting at Providence, r.
l., on September LIST, is being circu-
lated among the alumni Of the univer-
sity for signatures:
"As alumni of Brown university,
deeply interested in her welfare and
jealous Of her good name, we respect
fully address your honorable body
with reference to the action Of the
committee appointed by you to confer
with President Andrews regarding the
best interests Of the university.
''The recent correspondence between
that committee and President Andrews
has rightly or wrongly been interpre.
ted to mean that the president and
faculty Of Brown university are called
upon to renounce their cherished
rights of freedom Of thought and
speech and that the propriety Of their
expression is to be measured by its
pecuniary value to the university.
"This Interpretation is giving Brown
university widespread reputation for
intolerance and mercenary standards,
inconsistent with her history and
damaging to her good name and use
fulness and is further giving color to
the charge that our universities in
general exist for the propagation of
ideas favored by q certain class rather
than of the discovery and dissemina-
ton CT truth.
1--WE cannot remain silent while our
honored institution of learning is thus
misrepresented. We, therefore, ap-
peal to you to take action upon the
resignation of President Andrews as
will effectually refute the charge that
the reasonable liberty of utterances
was, or ever is, to be denied to any
creature of Brown university.
1--WE ask that by emphatic vote you
shall announce to the public that en-
lightened liberation shall be the guide
of our alma mater in the future, as 1t
has been the dearest treasure in the

To Elevate Foot Ball Out West,


All lovers of the noble game of foot ball
Will approve the move among the athletic
authorities of western colleges to eliminat lie
from 1t all features that expose it to the
charge of professionalism or the sentiment
tai cry of brutality. The representatives of
Northwestern, Purdue and the universities
of Chicago, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota
and Wisconsin have decided to establish
rules applicable to the game as played
among them Independent of those adopted
by the eastern colleges. A committee has
been appointed to formulate these rules
From the tenor of the discussion in the
conference held to consider the subject the
new rules will provide a four-year limit for
paratory classes from them professional
ism of all kinds will be discouraged by
heavy penalties: rough play, and especially
mass plays in foot ball, will be eliminated
as far as possible, and the authority of
umpireS will be made so clear and despotic
that all tendency to escape or dispute it
will bring confusion to the recalcitrant
player or team.
The new rules will apply to all branches
of athletics although foot ball will receive
the committees most serious considerati ton.
We cannot commend too highly the efforts
of the athletic representatives of western
colleges to place the noble games of foot
ball and base ball on level of sterling
manhood, honesty and honor. Professional
ism and rowdyism are the two greatest
enemies of manly sports. They destroy the
reputation and sentiment of all struggles in
which they enter.

Our Citizen Soldiers.
From the Illustrated American.

The modern citizen-soldier. while hardy
and athletic, has also decidedly the con-
tour of the citizen who eats good meals
and sleeps every night in his bed. The
unacceptable characteristic of home COM
fort during times of peace would, however.
speedily be left behind after a few weeks
of actual campaign, and visit to the field
would show us our former neighbors as
free or roundness as any seasoned regular.
High-spirited, determined. courageous. with
a toughness won upon the wheel, on the
ball field, or at some other form of sport
to say nothing of the physical strength
which. in many regiments is the result of
manual labor, our militiaman is in bodily
preparedness the peer Of any volunteer
soldier on earth. Out of these ranks in
time of crisis be called men of every
trade and form of practical knowledge
They are not only men firing guns and
knowing how to die in their tracks without
fear--they ere an army of scientific versa
tility, which can turn a camp into a civil
lied city with all its diversified industries
and energies. and. in a conquered country,
can transform itself for the time of its
occupation into a colony Of valuable citi-
zens. This is the personnel of the real
army which we would depend upon for
service against a foreign foe today.
