the platform. Sarah kneeled down by
him. She put her head against his
breast. Then she raised her face and
said calmly. He is dead"
The Brother Man was kneeling on
the other side. No" he said. with an
indescrlbable gesture and untranslata-
BILE infection, "he Is not dead. He Is
living in the eternal mansions Of glory
with his Lord"
But the news was borne from lip to
lip. He is dead" And that Is the
way men speak of the body. And they
were right. The body Of Philip was
dead. And the Brother Man was right
also, for Philip himself was alive in
glory, and as they bore the tabernacle
Of his flesh out Of Calvary church that
day that was all they bore. His soul
was out Of the reach Of humanity's
selfshness and humanity's sorrow.
They said that when the funeral OF
Philip Strong's body was held In Mil
ton rugged, unfeeling men were seen
to cry like children In the streets. A
great procession, largely made up Of
the poor and sinful, followed him to
his wintry grave. They fingered long
about the spot. Finally every one
withdrew except Sarah, who refused
to be led away by her friends, and Will
liam and the Brother Man. They
stood looking down into the grave.
"He was very young to die so soon."
at last Sarah said, with a calmness
that was more terrible than bursts Of
grief.
$50 was Christ" replied Brother
Man simply.
"But, oh, Philip. Philip, my beloved,
they killed him" she cried. And at
last. for she had not wept yet. great
tears rolled down into the grave, and
uncomfortable anguish seized her.
Brother Man did not attempt to con-
sole or interrupt. He knew she was
in the arms Of God. After long time
he said: "Yes. they crucified him. But
he is with his Lord now. Let us be
glad for him. Let us leave him with
the Eternal Peace"
When the snow had melted from the
hillside and the first arbutus was be-
ginning to bud and even blossom, one
day some men came out to the grave
and put up plain stone at the head.
After the men had done this work they
went away. One of them fingered. He
was the wealthy mill owner. He stood
with his hat In his hand and his head
bent down. his eyes resting on the
words carved into the stone. They were
these:
PHILIP STRONG.
Pastor Of Calvary Church.
In the cross OF Christ I glory,
Towering DER the wrecks Of time;

Mr.. Winter looked ut the incomplete
line. and then. as he turned away and
walked slowly back down into Milton,
he said: Yes. it is better so. We must
finish the rest for him."
Ah. Philip Strong. The sacrifice was
not in vain. The resurrection is not far

every movement.
As Her Majesty stepped from her
carriage the other day she made a
very charming figure dressed in a
gown of satin-faced cloth of deep
mauve shade. The skirt was laid in
tiny tucks and around the figure and
was made over drop lining of mauve
satin. The lining was finished
around the foot with deep fiounce of
accordion-plsited satin, over which
fell a flounce of heavy Chantiliy lace
The tucks extended only three-quar-
tiers the length of the skirt and at the
knees widened into graceful little folds
to give the necessary fulness of the
skirt
The bodice of the gown was very
tight fitting and was almost hidden

Special Correspondence of the Register.
BOSTON, December 20.-A puritan
maiden, the daughter of Dr. Algernon
Slade, of Brookline, Mass, was mar
ried in the pretty little suburb of Bos-
ton this week in a gown sent her by
the Dowager Empress of Portugal.
Anna Perkins Slade was the brides
name, and she was as pretty and de-
mure little woman as can be found
in all New England But interesting
as the bride was to her large circle
OF friends and acquaintance it is
doubtful if she attracted as much at
tention during the ceremony as the
exquisite gift from the royal lady of
Portugal. The gown was magnificent
brocaded satin material trimmed with
valencennes and Irish point lace which
had been worn on the Queens own
wedding gown when she was married
to her distinguished husband, and was
sent as a mark of the high esteem in
which the Queen held her favorite
niece, for this is the relationship which
Miss Slade bears to the royal lady
Further interest is added to the CON
nection by the fact that the Dowager
Queen of Portugal is the only Ameri-
can to actually enter a royal family of
Europe, while the circumstances at
tending the wooing and wedding are
unique and notable enough to be a
source of attention at this time.
The Dowager Queen was born in
