Mrs. Mckinley has been warned not
to talk. and the president and his wife
exchanged only few words when they
were together, but the pressure Of their
hands doubtless spoke volumes. 1t was
only when he asked her to be brave
for both their sakes that she faltered
and almost broke down. With choking

Immediately thereafter she was led

Mrs. McKinley's Tortitude.
Mrs. Mckinley throughout this try

and her sorrow and has been almost as
calm and self possessed as the presi-

could be said, for throughout it all the
president has been cooler than those
about him. When Dr. Rixey again told
Mrs. Mckinley Of the extreme gravity
Of the case, she did not break down.
On the contrary, feeble as she Is. grief
seemed to hud her strength. and like
q noble woman she felt that she must
