two weeks and had settled down to a
regular routine Of vacation work when
he began to feel physical WEAKNESS
that was new to him. He had been
taking his meals with a few of the
boys at the club, but they had all left
at the end of two weeks, except two
or three who were carrying papers.
and then Edward had begun to board
himself. He bought small oil stove
and experimental more or less with
cooking, but did not get on very well.
He disliked the business of getting his
own meals and only continued 1t on ac-
count Of economy.
He woke up one morning with a
strange feeling Of lassitude. and with
great difficulty he got up and cooked
some oatmeal and made cup Of cof-
fee. But when he went down to the
laboratory, where he had secured per-
mission to continue his chemistry, he
dragged himself with difficulty through
the forenoon, and when dinner time
came he did not feel hungry and lay
down on his bed.
He must have lain there two hours
in drowsy condition when some one
knocked on his door, and when he call
ed out "Come In" who should come
but Wheaton.
Wheaton rocmed and boarded out.
side of the college buildings. but he
carried a paper and was working his
way through. Edward had taken a
dislike to him and seldom met him and
did not really know him. He put him
down as pious and knew that he was
active in the college Y. NJ. c. A.
II was passing through the campus
and thought would just drop up and
see you. Most Of the fellows have
gone from the hall, haven't they?"
EYES," replied Edward shortly. He
was irritated by Wheaton's presence.
He had no respect for his scholarship
and put him down as something Of a
goody goody fellow who was crank
on religious things and very narrow
minded in his views. What about
this, Edward Blake? Who are you. to

care you sick, Blake?" asked Wheat
on kindly as Edward made no move to
get up from his recumbent position.
"No; I'm going down town." said Ed
ward briefly as he made an effort to
get up. He was somewhat bewildered
to find what tremendous effort it re-
quired for him to get on his feet.
"You really are not WE'LL" exclaimed
Wheaton, with evident concern.
II am, too" retorted Edward, with
strange irritation of manner. II feel a
little tired, but I'm all right"
Wheaton looked up as if he thought
something was not just right with Ed
ward. but did not venture to speak
again about it, and, as Edward contin-
ued to pick up his paper bag and get
ready to 60 down town. he asked:
Going down Main street my way?'
mo; I'm going over the hill," re-
piled Edward briefly. He usually
went straight down Main street, but
a perverse spirit within him made him
dislike the thought Of Wheaton's COM
pany. "All right" replied Wheaton

were you. It's pretty hot this after.
nOon."
Edward made no reply, and Wheat.
on went away. When Edward came
out of the cooler recesses of the hall
down stairs, 1t seemed as If the heat
was overpowering to him. Still, with
the logged obstinacy that belonged to
him, he went down town by the hill
road because he said he was going to,
although it was nearly third farther.
When he reached the Office, he could
hardly stand up. Everything on the
streets danced before him. He stag
gered along with his papers, half
blind. How he ever made the rounds
with his load he could not have told,
Neither did he remember how he
climbed the hill again and reeled into
his room. He had dim recollection
afterward Of dropping on his bed all
in n heap, and then darkness fell on
him.
When he came to himself again,
some one was in the room, sitting by
the bed and tanning him. 1t was very
late in the afternoon, and he had a
dim notion that perhaps 1t was an
other day.
He made motion as If to rise, and
the person sitting by the bed gently
prevented him. He was family sur.
prlsed to find how little strength he

FIRECRACKER VICTIM.
Some PowarfuI Explosive Skaters
Hand Of Willie KeithIey.

Criminal carelessness, in charg-
ing q frecracker with powerful
illuminate, resulted in a serious ac-
cident Saturday TO Willie Keith.
ley, the nine.year old son Of W. A..
Keilnlty, Of the Eagle Publishing
Co. The little victim was en-
gsged in firing the crackers which
were very small when one that he
was holding in his hand exploded
with terrific force, shattering the
bone Of the first aud second fing-
ers, and badly lacerating the
thumb. IL was found necessary,
by Drs. Loris Bagby and Oliver
Bagby. who were summoned TO at
tend the little sufferer, to ampu
tate the FIRST joints Of both the in
jured fingers. The small size OF
the cracker shows that no ordi-
nary explosive could contain such
force, and II Is thought that eth.
er through inexcusable careless
ness or criminal design some pow
erful illuminate was used. The
little fellow underwent the painful
operation with splendid iortitude,
and is progressing rapidly toTard
recovery.
