he added fiercely-
The fire had burned down to black
ened ashes. The mournful wind blew
colder about them. Miss Harwood
shlvered. IS she rose to start on the
long road home she stepped on but
tercup just above, ground and crushed
it.
Back in her own room again with
its comfort and color and photographs
and other reminding bits of college
life, Miss Harwood quickly made an
other Gibson picture of herself among
the enveloping cushions of the couch
and prepared to read the letters which
the west-bound train had brought in.
From among the advertisements with
their typewriter envelopes, and the
fashionable stationery of girl friends,
she picked out the big letter with the
Chicago postmark, the letter that she
waited for from day to day. They
were not engaged-not yet, but she
knew they would he some day when
he should get established in good
hospital position and should ask her
to come.
She tore the envelope open antici-
pating the pleasure to come. But this
one was not like the others. 1t was
short and stated briefly that he ex-
pected to be married in May. The lady
was Miss Estelle Manwaring, whose
father. Virginia HARDWOOD remembered
is chief surgeon on the hospital staff
and a very wealthy man.
There was little else except the
name which was signed at the bottom.
THE same old story. A girl with
money is just as good as a girl with

a hard little laugh as she dropped the
sheets to the floor and lay staring at
them.
Larry O'Neil's farewell words came
back to her. "It will be like death not
to see you again. Let me come once
more, just once"
For a long time she sat before the
fire After awhile she arose and went
to her writing desk. Her pen few
hurried1y over a page of note paper.
Then she rang her call-bell furiously.
"Tell JOHN she said to the boy at
the door, ito saddle his horse and take
this note to the .Malchero rancho. No,
not tomorrow, tonight. Quick now!'
Then to herself, I'll take another

Meantime lets build fire here now
This stone was just getting warm and
comfortable but and he began to
gather the scattered dry branches. In
a few moments Miss Harwood was
down on the damp ground, in spite of
protests in a rich Irish voice, before a
big roaring mass of glowing branches,
cones and decayed logs. Higher the
wood famed among the dark frs, tip
ping with evanescent fire the green
branches of the trees and licking up
the dry needles on the ground, while
the dirge moaned on through the tall
tree tops.

said Thomas r.. Supplee, when seen at

phia, recently. well, that is a pecu-
liar term. but guess it about describes
my trouble. 1 cannot read a word.
Reading used to be my greatest pleas
ure, but now the days seem to be so
long and dreary. I cannot understand
it. My general health is of the best;
my memory and eyesight are good, but
1 cannot put the letters together into

cannot correct what 1 have written.
1 may repeat the same word two or
three times This happened about two
months ago. One day / felt a sharp
pain in the left side of my head. Pick
ing up a paper I was amazed to dis
cover that could not decipher sin

clot on the brain. They believe it may
be absorbed" Dr. Frank Woodruff,
former professor of clinical medicine
and therapeutics at Medico Chirurgical
college, speaking of the case, said:
The affection is very rare. although
not unknown. While at the college
saw a similar Casa man much
younger than Mr.. Supplee. He recov-
cred. Mr.. Supp1ee is undoubtedly suf-

ephasia known as amnesia- 1t may be
due to a plug in one of the small
blood vessels shutting off the supply

this power, or it may be due to some
slight rupture and consequent blood
clot on the same nerve center In such

FAMOUS SECOND FUNERALS

Ro1nternsnt of Notable Pexsons' Remains
Attended by Crowds
The most famous second funeral''
In all history is that which celebrated
the transfer of the body of Napoleon
l. from ST. Helena to its present rest
ing place in the IrvaIides in Paris. On
May IL, 1910. a tremor ran through the
French chamber of deputies at the an
nouncement that King Louis Philippe,
with the consent of the English gov
eminent. had ordered the Prince de
Joinville to go with his frigate to St.
Helena, there to collect the remains
of the Emperor Napoleon 1t pro-
duced <ne same effect on the country at
large. The enthusiasm reached it's
climax on the Dec. Is following, when
the second funeral actually followed.
Thackeray was witness to the cere-
mony and one of his most brilliant es-
says commentaries the attendant
sights. Among other ceremonies of a
similar kind witnessed by the present
century, the most notable were the
transfer of the remains OF Columbus
from Havana to Seville, in 1899, and
the reburial of King Rene at Aglow in
1896. The vault in which the body of
King Charles I. was inferred was last
opened in 1913, on the occasion of the
funeral offthe Duchess of Brunswick,
the sister of George III. King Charles
coffin was found so badly damaged that
a new one had to be made. The body
! was Recognized beyond doubt by the
fact that the head was severed from
the body. While the body of Crom-
wells victim sleeps in peace there is
nothing extant of the great regicide' s
body, save only a head, which is be-
lieved to be his. Cromwell had been
buried with honor in Henry VII
chapel at Westminster. The royalties
when they returned to power, with
the restoration, dug up the remains
and scattered them to the four winds,
all save the head, which had been cut
off as a post-mortem retaliation for
Charles execution.-Chicago Record

With the Pine Needles.

BY Fannie Burling Crawford.
(Copyright, 1901 by Daily Story Pub. COD
isn't this air fine?" she cried en-
Enthusiastically, lifting her face to the
fresh wind of the woods
You bet it isi' he answered, grim
ly pulling up his coat collar and push
ing his head down into it another inch.
Il love this breezy country, don't
you? 1t reminds me of Chicago" she
continued. You never have cold
weather out here on the Pacific slope,
do you? Climate mild, but wet" she
added joyously shifting the aromatic
breath of the woods. Here the sharp
edges of the Chicago winds are all
smoOthed and rounded off SO that they
never cut nor hurt
What this athletic young woman en-
5oyed- in this endless tramping about
in February weather over muddy
roads, mile after mile, exclaiming over
the shifting clouds and the changing
colors of the pine woods, Larry O'Nefl
could not comprehend But her whim
was his law, and so she walked and
he followed Bred on big ranch, and
accustomed to do his walking behind
a pillow, that kind of exercise presented
to him only the characteristics of hard
labor, and he was thinking regretful.y
OF the warm and coSey little room they
had left at her imperious command.
Nov five miles from home they were
sitting down to rest on primeval
boulder, where the pine woods sloped
down to a rutty road. Pine cones lay
thick upon the ground. Above them
swelled grandiy the music of the tree
tops.
People are always telling of the
health and joy of sleeping in the
woods in bed of pine cones" said
Miss HARDWOOD, picking up a cone and
pricking her finger on the sharp tines.
Il shouldn't think these rough, prick
ly things would make a very comfort
able bed
Wasn't it pine needles, instead of
burrs?" asked her companion on the
boulder moving more into the shelter
of a tree trunk.
Perhaps it was" and the teacher of
physical culture in the little college
laughed blithely, jumping up and run
ming up the hill to another big boulder
of Washington granite. 20, come up
here" she called. You can hear the
wind better. They have the organ
stops all out now"
The big Irish lad, his long dashed
gray eyes reveling in the Gibson pic
