Hopefully, tearfuly,
Joyfully, fearfully,

Sunshine filings benison down from on

Children sing loud. as the train moves

Happy the bride the sun shines on"

Priests chanting slowly
Solemnly, slowly,

Dripping over the plume and the pail;
Murmur old folks, as the train moves

Happy the dead that the rnin raineth

PAID TN FULL

l had been graduated two years, and
had a practice sufficiently large,
deemed, to warrant my taking apart
ments. Apartments surround a young
doctor with an air of prosperity which
people like to encourage and add to.
A month later | was comfortably, al
most elegantly, established on the first
floor of a handsome north side apart
ment house, with careful middle-aged
woman to act as my housekeeper and
cook.
@Pretty well fixed, old man, eh?"
said Jack Winters, my college class
mate and ehum, who had come over
that evening from the west side to
make a housewarming for me. "All
you need to complete your happiness
is to get acquainted with the pretty
widow on the floor above you. Shes
John Redmond's cousin, you know, and
a sweeter little woman never"
THANK you" said, checking Jacks
enthusiasm-Jack always goes off on
tangent when pretty woman is dis
cussed. Il am trying to get patients,
and have no time for social pleasures,
and, besides, l don't mind saying it.
Jack, I'm not fond of widows"
"All l have to say to that is" said
Jack, you don't know Mrs. Traine."
However, my professional duties
were not so arduous that | did not find
time to notice trim little figure that
fitted in and out through the big en-
trance door, dressed always exquisite
ly, but quietly.
My interest in Mrs. Traine deepeEed
The Marble times and Crystal silver lance., 1900-10-26

when l heard her story. Her husband
three years before. The insurance
money was almost gone, and the little
widow added to the income that must
support herself and invalid mother by
giving music lessons to few wealthy
girls.
A daintier little rosebud of a woman
it would have been hard to find. Soft
brown hair, tossed in truant curls
about the low forehead, voice that
spoke always gently, blue eyes full OF
mirth, and a complexion that looked
like it had been bathed in the morning
dew.
Once or twice l held the big door
open for her to pass out, and bowed in
response to the low thank you" Ear
ly after my coming to the building q
boy on the top floor had been accom-
modating enough to get hurt in the ele-
vator, and had been called in as the
most available physician. Luckily, l
brought the boy through so we'll that
his parents, as well as the youngster
himself, sounded my praises so loudly
that l found myself with quite repu-
tation and incidentally a practice in
the neighborhood. Still, l had not met
Mrs. Traine, and was beginning wick
lily to hope that some accident-eve4
% slight a one, of course-might hap
oen to her, sprained ankle or wrist,
that l might have the joy of caring for
her. However, the fates preserved Mrs.
Traine from accident, and l continued
10 watch for glimpses of her from my
Office window.
I had bowed the last patient out for
the evening and settled myself for
smoke before bedtime. My medita
tions, mingling with the blue curling
smoke, were interrupted by piercing
screams, and then another. I rushed
into the hall The screams came from
the Traine apartment above. In another
minute I was knocking on the door.
which was opened by Mrs. Traine her
self, white and breathless "Oh," she
gasped, catching hold of my arm.
We've got him-out therein the pam

'Who?". asked
1.-THE burglar. He hid in the dining

len, who dropped the window and
turned to face me.
You can't make a jump from that
window, my man." l said. You had
better be quiet"
l turned the lock again, but Mrs.
Traine, divining my purpose, clung to
my arm. Don't CO." she cried fran
tically. 1--WE can't stay here alone
minute Then, to my relief, the same
small boy who had served me so well
professionally appeared on the thresh-
old, attracted by the cries. Off he
went to call the police, while l tried
to quiet two hysterical women.
In few minutes the burglar was
handcuffed and led away, but the shock
had proved too much for Mrs Traine's
invalid mother. The fainting spell was
followed by delirium, and her daughter
and | watched by her bedside until
morning
OF course, l was installed as attend
ing physician, and never failed to call
morning and evening. When the pa
tient was able to sit up | sometimes
read aloud to her as an excuse to re-
main longer, watching the daughter at
some household task.
One evening l stayed for tea. Mrs.
Traine wore dainty gown of white
and blue. with a great deal of lace.
There il no sight so welcome to
bachelor as a pretty woman at the
head of a tea table The next morning
l pictured the pretty widow sitting op-
posite me at my own breakfast table,
wearing the pretty house jacket had
seen on my morning calls.
That afternoon | took Mrs. Traine
and her mother for drive, and was
rewarded by another invitation to tea.
A reason for such close attention to
my patient was no longer apparent. l
was hunting about in my mind for an
other excuse to prolong the delightful
calls when Mrs. Traine knocked at my
door one evening.
Il have come to you on business"
she said, taking the seat offered her.
You have been kind to mother" she
went on. "Of course, we want to pay
you for your trouble. Would you mind
telling me, please, how mich the
amount is ?"
I saw the anxious look growing
deeper in the sweet face opposite me.
How much denial and privation paying
a doctors bill meant to that little wom-
an, already burdened with responsible
ity!

LINCOLNS REMAINS.
Temporary Vault While Mon

Springfield, H., March 1.-The re-
mains of Abraham Lincoln were re-
moved from under the monument to
temporary receiving vault about IS
feet north, where they will rest until
the work on the monument is COM
pleted. 1t is the first time the re-
mains have been disturbed for nearly
n quarter of century. when the at
tempt was made by ghouls to steal
it, The body up to that time
lay in the crypt in the mausoleum.
but afterwards was removed and
placed under six feet of cement under
the shaft of the monument, under
protection of the Lincoln guard of
honor, then organized. The public
until recently believed the body was
still resting in the crypt. The re-
mains will lie in "A temporary vault
until the monument is completed.
Large CROWDS visited Oak Ridge
cemetery to view the casket. Before
the interment under the monument
the casket was changed several times.
The first casket was of wood, then iron,
then lead and finally stone sarcopha-
gus. The monument now being re-
paired was dedicated in 1864. Beside
the remains of Lincoln lie Mrs. Lincoln,
Tod Lincoln and Robert Lincoln's only
child. The temporary vault is being
guarded day and night.

Manila, March 10.-Gens. Young and
Hood are asking for reenforcements
and battalion of the Forty-eighth
regiment has been sent to APART.
Other troops will follow. The rebels
recently persistently attacked Aparri
for several hours, but were finally
driven away. Details of the affair are
lacking. The rebels are holding re-
unions in the province of North Ilocos,
and the red Katipunan cross. SYM
bolic of resistance, is again appearing
among the natives. IL is believed that
the insurgent generals, Tinio and
Flores, have been driven by Gen.
Young into Gen. Hoods territory
south of APART. The fact that Gen.
Young is unable, owing to lack Of
troops, to maintain garrisons in all
the towns occupied has had bad ef-
feet on the natives.
The liberated priests from New
Caceres report that the insurgents
killed GS Cinnamon and 40 Spaniards
