if, perhaps, she had at last brought to

"Yes, know Miss Henderson," re-

an encouraging tone, but this time my

What is it, please, that has affected you
so?"
"Oh, you are always so kind. Iwant

spent trying to ease his suffering. which
is constant but by sewing during his
daytime maps and nights, she has kept

Mrs. Estabrook wrote down the adj
dress and called her carriage. Quickly
DOMINIC a 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.

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, 1.-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 amo1rg
the poor and giving in Helena's name"
and passed her leisure amid the sur
roundin2s 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.
81 cannot give them up; it is all that
have left of her!"
"But, darling, all you have q right
to now is chastened memory, men,

but less bleeding wound. These earth

1t was useless. She could give up her
money and her time, but not these, "oh,
not these"

dam-Miss Henderson, she calls her
self" And the maid servant spoke with
an air that betrayed her thoughts: "A

Mrs. Estabrooll recognized the name
at once; Miss Henderson was regular
worker among the needy; one Of those
whose business it is to investigate
cases and report to those with means
to relieve.

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 arc found, because they had
nothing to do" with!
Mrs. Crandall was as neat as her pow
erty would permit her to be. There
we're neither rags nor unkempt heads of
hair, but patches were plainly in evil
dence, and the lack of comforts every
where.
Mr.. Crandall had been failing 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 q
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
filed. 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.

This story was told by an intimate
friend Of the Ingersoll family. Very
recently Mrs. Ingersoll spent an even
ing with friend. At about eight p. m.
she began to give evidence of fatigue
and yawned repeatedly and had the
greatest difficulty in preventing herself
from falling into doze. Arousing her
self with an effort she finally said:

Know, dear, that l have accompanied

gagged in game of craps in a colored

Verifying an Adagc.

"Cutting off ones nose to spite ones
face" has seemed to many persons de-
cidedly far-fetched figure of speech.
Yet woman down in Philadelphia gave
a literal exhibition of its truth. Her
name is Mrs. Sarah Barncopf. Mrs.
Barncopf's nose has been source of
great annoyance to her for more than
20 years. 1t was big and decidedly
ugly, and Mrs. Barncopf was constantly
reminded of the fact by thoughtless
people, who, coming within sight of the
nose suddenly, would throw up their
hands in amazement, laugh amusedly
or make some inane remark. The little
children of the neighborhood had made
some doggerel verses aboutit whichthey
delighted to repeat in piping, sing
ing tone within Mrs. Barncopf's hear
ing. The poor woman bore these lit
tie attentions with rare good temper
for awhile, but recently she began to
feel the sting of them. The last straw
came when a facetious peddler, who
stopped at her house TO sell some of
his wares, made coarse jest at the eX-
pense of the unfortunate nose. In a
fit of despair next day the poor woman
took a carving knife and sliced off the
dubious end of the offending organ.
She would have bled to death, very prob
ably, but for the timely arrival of the
family physician, who succeeded in
checking the flow of blood.

Ere yet the dark had dreamed of dawn,
The faintest rustic reached their ear;
They heard the napkin downward drawn
They listened to His breathing low;
His feet upon the threshold fall.
Bring roses-sweetest buds that blow,
His love the perfume of them all.
The FLIES were the first to see:
They, watching in the morning gray.
Saw angels come so silently
And roll the mighty stone away;
They saw Him pass the portals gloom:
He brushed their leaves oh. happy

Bring llies-purest buds that bloom,
His face reflected in each flower.
The roses were the first to hear,
The lilies were the first to see:

And every heart the rapture share

The roses and the lilies fair!

a Careless Wheelman.

A wheelman going at good speed
made a short turn to the sidewalk
yesterday on upper Fort street. In
executing this maneuver the cyclist
passed under the head of a horse at
tached to brake in which was seated
a lady who had just left the office
of a physician and who was quite i'll.
The horse, startled by the sudden ap-
pearance of the wheelman, jumped
back and the lady was all but thrown
from the brake. The lady sustained
a severe shock and last night was
seriously i'll. She and her husband
intend reporting the matter to the
Marshal. The rider was extremely
careless and was sharply reprimanded
by a policeman.
