Mr.. Crandall had been falling for
many months, and now the doctor had
said that it was but question of days
when he would be out of his misery.
Their few savings, for they had been a
thrifty family, had soon melted away
for his medicines and their daily food.
The doctor expected no pay for his time
and advice, but the druggist had de-
manded cash for each prescription
filled. Mrs. Crandall pitifully told how
she had managed at first, by the help
of the two older girls about the house
before and after school daily, to find
odd moments to sew by daylight, but
her needlework had been chiefly done
at night, when her husbands maps were
longest. Yet she had only delayed the
hour which was now to be met, when
there was nothing for druggist or
grocer.
Customers naturally had carried their
work elsewhere, as so often her work
was not finished at the time promised,
the husband requiring unexpected care
from her. Then she had had recourse
to the selling of the cradle, no longer
needed; then her own little sewing
chair, the birthday gift from brother;
but the few extras brought small sums
from her almost as poor neighbors, who
purchased them. 1t was the old, old
story; and now she could not find time
to sew if she had the strength, and she
was nearly exhausted with overwork,
watching and weeping.
The tale, brief as it was, had to be told
with frequent pauses, as the invalid in
the next room coughed or tinkled a bell
for her to come to change his position
and attempt to ease the discomfort for
which there was but one real easement,
and that was hourly approaching.
While the mother was away on these
duties, the visitor talked with the chill
dren, drawing them out as to their
studies and pleasures.
The elder two evidently were "good
scholars" and the youngest was a
bright, quiet little thing, prematurely
aged by continuous want and the pres
ence of suffering in the house.
''And don't you love dolls or play
things? l do not see any around, nor
any books; surely you ought to have
picture books to amuse you. Do you
not go to Sunday ?" for she saw
none of the usual evidences; the lesson
books; the Sunday-school papers, the
library books usually seen where there
are children, were all wanting here.
The eldest daughter quietly said:
''We have not been lately" like many
older people, answering the last ques-
ton first. eve never had many books,
and they had to go; we haven't any
now," and the baby girl chimed in:

Love dolls? Guess 1 doll had one
-Christmas-a real pretty one all
dressed-but mamma give-it-to-the
washwoman, an L amt got nothin'
now," and she broke into loud sobs.
"Minnie!" cried her mother, reprov-
ingly, hearing the child's words as she
came back into the room.
"Do not blame her; it is my fault. But
what does she mean?'
Mrs. Crandall colored deeply. 1t was
SO hard to be poor, and harder still to be
forced to expose her poverty in all its
baroness, to strangers:
'Why, it is this way: l have no place
but this room to wash in, and the steam
goes right in there and chokes him,
and he fretted SO and coughed every
time I washed, that it seemed as if L
never could get through another wash
day. / never had washing done for
me before in my life, except when the
babies came" Here she lowered her
voice, though the door was partly
closed. "And so thought we could get
along without any more washing till
it was all over, thinking every week
would be the last. But, poor man, he's
lasted along till we'd got to have some
things; and his cough worse than ever,
and l couldn't have the steam here
nohow, and l had no money and had
sold everything except the doll. All
dressed as twas, it was worth dollar.
And 1 have a neighhor who takes in
washing and she has little girl. The
other girls had given up their Testa-
ments and all the books that they have
had Christmas and birthdays, and
took Minnie and told her that it was

they said to me that they were hungry
and cold!"
81 will go there tonight alone, and
here is $40 for you to buy and send up
at once to them what they most need
for over Sunday"
Mrs. Estabrook wrote down the adj
dress and called her carriage. Quickly
DOMINIC street suit, she was soon
alighting at the entrance OF narrow
street, and instructed her coachman to
wait there for her, as she did not like
to intrude her private carriage and
servants where it would create a stir
and sensation, as such an equipage is
apt to do in tenement district.
1t was indeed a sorrowful scene that
met her eyes. The children gazed upon
the beautiful woman in black who en-
tered their poverty-stricken home like
a creature from, to them, an unknown
world. They gazed with the widely
opened eyes of children accustomed to
patiently enduring deprivation.
They sat in silence, as if abashed by
the presence of coming death and the
poverty about them, as well as by the
presence of beautiful stranger. Had
she not been in black they would have
thought her fairy, but they had never
read of fairies clothed in mourning.
They were doing nothing" as the very
poor often are found, because they had
nothing to "do' with!
Mrs. Crandall was as neat as her pow
erty would permit her to be. There
were neither rags nor unkempt heads of
hair, but patches were plainly in evil
dence, and the lack of comforts every
where.

A UNIQUE MINING CAMP.
Cbedient Gold Diggers Who Neither
Smoke, Drink Nor Swear.

Cbedient Gold Diggers Who Neither
Smoke, Drink Nor Swear.
Eighteen miles from Tombstone, A.
T., is mining camp unique in all the
west, where whisky and tobacco never
intrude, where oaths are unknown and
where the population keep the Sabbath
with all the strictness of a Scotch vii
lage. The miners hold morning and
evening prayer, and the argument OF
Scriptural points furnishes the only
recreation for sturdy men, such men
as in other camps find their pleasures
at the gambling table or in red liquor
Yet it is their choice, and few have been
the backsliders in the years the COM
munity has known an organized eX-
istence.
The camp is, in every sense, coop
erative one. 1t gains its livelihood and
takes it's name from the Copper Glance
mine, gold property of real value. All
the men do their share in the extraction
or reduction of the rich ore, and all are
increasing in the worlds goods at
rapid rate.
AS is usual in such communities, the
camp has a recognized leader. His name
is Samuel Donnelly. He is stoutly built,
in height about five feet seven inches, of
what might be termed benevolent pres
ence, full beard largely concealing
rather weak face. He is the camps
arbiter, judge and ruler. His words are
law. His influence on his two score of
followers is remarkable, and, though
curiously erratic, seems generally di-
rected toward absolute Justice On a code
modelled on the teachings of the apos-
ties of old. His generosity is evident
from the fact that he freely divides
with the community the wealth de-
rived from working the mine, of which
he is the principal owner.
The first scandal attaching to Copper
Glance camp came from a man who
had deserted the fold and had joined
at Bisbee the great majority of carnal-
minded. He told a story of incidental
immortality on the part of Donnelly.
The deserter's wife, it appeared had re-
fused to follow him, remaining, with
her several children, with the prophet.
Donnelly's duties are correctional as
well as admonitory. Thus it was he

of his peculiar views of religion. He
had been a member of the Salvation
Army, he said, but in later years had
preferred to carve for himself just the
particular kind of spiritual meat need

guilty, though the charge of whipping
was lily sustained and the mother of
the boy stated the ducking was with her
full approval. The case is now on APP

eve her heart was sad and her eyes
fearful, for it was the anniversary of
the death of her darling and only child,
a beautiful daughter of six short years.
One whole year since she had been
alone, and Helena had been singing
with the angels.
She said that she was not rebellious,
that she did not mourn as those with
out hope, but yet that life never could
again wear the joyous aspect that the
past had worn.
Even when she endowed ward in the
Children's hospital and had given to it
that precious name, "The Helena" she
could not adopt her pastors wise sug-
gestion, and present her dear ones
playthings to the invalid waits who
were to occupy it. She furnished the
ward tastefully and bought new toys
forit, but her heart rebelliously chung to
the sad pleasure of keeping the nursery
just as it had been left, when God
called its guest home.
She said she was getting resigned"
and she busted herself working among
the poor and ''giving in Helena's NAME"
and passed her leisure amid the sur
roundings that kept her thoughts too
much on the earthly part of her sorrow.
Here, she daily sighed over the white
canopied, short-length bed; and ten
derby touched the toy tea table and the
armchair to match it, in which Helena
always sat when she played at ''five
o'clock tea" She fingered tearfully
over the china tea set, that would never
hold again the play suppers and sor-
rowfully looked at the twin dolls lying
asleep in their tiny white crib. No, she
never could give them up, even to "The
Helena"
In vain her Inexperienced mother
protested that all this was not good
for her, that it was not that cheerful
acceptance of discipline that God de-
sired.
