man injured by a projecting bolt Of the
Baltimore & Ohio bridge at Benwood,

death was looked for every hour 1t was
thought that he wouldn't survive until
noon yesterday, but he was living at
last reports last night. His death, how.
ever. is but question OF time.
The rumor that he wus dead induced
his Pittsburgh relatives to send an I'M
dertaker down from the Smoky city
yesterday, and the undertaken was a
surprised man when he reached Ben
wood. He fingered around the town for
several hours, and finding that his man
wasn't going to die in time, he left for
Pittsburgh in the evening, minus the
pleasure OF accompanying corpse.

WILL HUNT FOR AMBER.
An Expedition to Search for = lGins
Said to Re On an Island on the
Alaskan Coast. - ..

In search Of mine Of amber, which.
1t found, will make the members of
the party independently wealthy, An
expedition left Sitka a few weeks arc
for one Of the islands of the Alaskan
coast, says the Seattle Post-Intelli-
gencer. At its head was an old Rus.
sian, Popoh by name, who for 30 year.
has been trying to get some one with
money to send him in search of the
amber mine. His story is an interest
ing one. Some 30 years ago he was
sailor on board a Russian sealing ves-
sci which was wrecked on one of the
small islands off the Alaskan coast.
The crew managed to reach another
small island in the schooner's boats
and nearly starved before q Russian
warvessel happened along and rescued
them.
While on the island they found guam
tltles or amber and traced it to a big
leoge. The pieces of amber which they
had In their possession when taken on
board the warship were taken away by
the officers. Popoff managed I o SNUG
gle one small piece away and has hung
to it ever since, although he has been
all over the world during the wears
that intervened.
He tried many times to have an expe-
dltlon outfitted, but never succeeded.
During the recent mining excitement
IN the north he got as far as Sitka.
where he became stranded. He con-
hded his secret to few friends and
they furnished the money that out
htted the party. Popoff goes with
them as guide and expects to be back
In Sitka within six months. 49,

"OUR HEARTS BIZ PURE FROM EVIL"
pure hearted boy beP But it is all for him,
all for his music and for Leonora. Isn't
that good enough motive?"
Then he listened again to the words
borne into the quiet library from the hall
At last he fell to his knees in a struggle
that did not end until late-a struggle be-
tween his desire for gain and his strange,
new conviction that his way of getting it
would be sinful.
He never heard his sons knock, fol-
lowed by the boys disappointed foot
steps as he started for bed supposing his
father was too busy to stop. 1t was
O'Clock when the man followed. He had
resolved to give up forever the making of
money by unlawful speculation. The bat
tie over, he slept the sleep of utter exhaus-
ton. In the next room the fair haired
singer, his mission we'll performed, though
unconsciously, also slept but not so heav-
lily. At in the morning no was awak-
ened by his own coughing. His room was
full of smoke, and he COULD see nothing
but the faintest glimmcr of the night
light, as if through dark mist.
"Fatherl Fatherl" he cried. The serv-
ants slept too far away to hear, and tho
smoke that had reused him had stupe1led
Rex jumped from his bed, wound a
blanket around him, holding a corner of
it over his face, and tried to feel his way
to tho front room and tho alcove where his
fathers bed was. A door, opening at his
touch, let him into tho hail. There it was
easier to breathe. The stairs were free
from fire, but the boy never thought of
descending. '.Fatherl Father!' he kept
calling, and then more heroic decd was
never done. He let himself into the front
chamber enveloped in the blanket and felt
for his fathers bed. 1t was a fiery ordeal.
That room seemed all ablaze. he heard
tho rumble of fro apparatus outside and
the shouts of men. Then no found his
father and shook him. "WalSe up, ia
therl" he cried, but his voice was muffled
in the blanket. Some one in helmet
threw up the alcovo window and 1eaped
in from a ladder. he grasped the boy.
"No, mol" cried Rex. "Take my IA
ther I'm all right. will not go first. Z"
The fireman then saw the unconscious fig
ure on the bed and lifted it to the win
dow. "Follow mol" no cried and stepped
out.
Rex tried to follow but fell fainting
over the sill and hung there while those
below shouted to hasten tho fireman with
his burden.
"Another ladder!' called some one.
"Hurryl Hurry!" cried the crowd.
1t was all over soon, and both father
and son were removed to a hospital. The ia.
Their was scarcely hurt and soon recovered;

when the door was opened by none other
than Griselle. the little flower girl.

the little miss as she handed a sealed en-
velope to Griselle, who extended her hand
to receive 1t with an almost dazed express
SION upon her face upon recognizing the
little miss who had but yesterday proved,
as 1t seemed to her, a mascot.
"Oh, thank you'll" she murmured in a
surprised tone.
"I hope your mother is better" con-
tinued the little miss as she and the fine
gentleman turned from the door and be-
gan descending the stairs.
Griselle stood for a moment as II SPELL

alton, she stepped to the railing and, look

SIM ALL RIGHT, FATHER" HE SAID FEEBLY
the boy had boon badly burned in that
brief time of agony, and it was uncertain
IL he could get well.
On Easter morning his father and prom
Used mother bent over him. Neither no
ticed the sweet tumult that the church
bells were making; neither thought of it,
being just tho hour that Rex would have
been leading the professional hymn al

ed. "My life was not worth your sacri-
feel"
Rex opened his eyes, sunk deep in ban
dages about his head. Ho had not before
been fully conscious, but now tho old
buoyant spirit shone family through those
eyes
"I'm all right, father" no said feebly.
They wero tho only rational words he ut
tered for many day. Then he glanced
up at tho lovely womSn's face and said,
"Motherl" before lap..ng into insensibil-
ity again.
The word, though spolen wanderingly,
was the seal of adoption TO Leonora ELS
worth, and the Easter day was made more
memorable to her by the story, brokenly
told by the father beside the boy Is bed, OF
the nights struggle preceding the fire.
They were married soon, and, though it
was weary timo before Rex was able to
sing in Christ church, no was tenderly
cared for by one whom no could rightly
call mother. AS soon as she was married
she began to help her husband in his bet

story can be briefly sketched Left moth
| erless at z, with memories Of a lovely face
and tender, brooding care which still lin
gercd with her son, who associated her
vaguely with the madonnas that he saw in
store windows, the boy lived alone with
his father.
Singing was his passion. He was ono
of the leading voices in a famous boy
choir, and the best part of tho year to him
was when the Easter music was being
learned. 1t wanted but day before that
great occasion, and all his spare time at
home was dol oted TO practice.
Mr.. Hamilton Winsted was an ambi-
tious man. He was engaged in paying
though not extensive business. How to
! enlarge 1t had been n problem ever since
he had known what wonderful voice his
boy had. Within q few months he had
found new object to gain money for in
| the promise of second wife. 1t was a
handsome girl who had made him this
promise, and his pride amused itself by
| fanoying how well she must he attired and
| in what style she must live when she be-
came Mrs. Hamilton Winsted. She was
quite as good as she was beautiful, and he
| instinctively kept from her knowledge
some of the ways in which he was striving
to grow rich for her sake and tho boys.
AS 1t grew later Mr. Winsted S mind be.
came keener and more alert. Tho visions
of his promised bride and his son faded to
give place to some new plan Of speculation
that suddenly occurred to him. He thought
1t all out, aided by calculations on paper.
The sum that might be gained was largo,
and his face grew elated with the Joy of
greed. 1t was look that Miss Leonora
Ellsworth would not have cared TO see
there, and it was not softened by any pity
for those who would lose If he won.
But In the hall there was another look
on handsome, boyish face. Rex had for
gotten that 1t was past his bedtime. His
countenance, aglow at first with an artists
delight in his art, grew brighter with the
realization of the meaning of what he
sang 1t was the first time he had entered
so completely into tho spirit of his Easter
music, and he rendered 1t so we'll that
his father became gradually conscious of
the words. The repetitions of the faithful
practice fairly burned the syllables into
his soul:
The day OF resurrection
Earth, tell IL all abroad
The passover of gladness,
The passover of Godi
From death to life eternal,
From earth unto the sky,
Our Christ hath brought us over,
With hymns of victory.
So sang the clear soprano that in few
hours was to onohant all hearers at Christ
church, and tho change of his information
as he rendered the last half of tho stanza
was perfect. The listener in that quiet
library began to grow very uneasy. Then
he heard
Our hearts be pure from evil
That we may see Alright
and the rest of those words composedgso
