the nurse soothed him.
Meredith rose and left the room with q
noiseless step. He went out to the stars
again, and looked to them to check the storm
or rage and sorrow that buffeted his bosom.
He understood lynching, now the thing was
home to him, and his feeling was no in
spiration of fear lest the law mscarry; it
was the itch to get his own hand on the
rope. Horner came out presently, and whis-
pered a long, broad, profound curse upon the
men Of the CROSSROADS, and Meredith g
gratitude to him was keen. Barrett went
away, soon after. leaving the cab for the
gentlemen from Plattville. Meredith had a
strange, unreasonable desire to kick Barrett,
possibly for his sergeant's sake. Warren
Smith sat in the ward with the nurse and
Gay, and the room was very quiet. 1t was a
long vigil. @:
They were only waiting.
At o'clock he was still alive-just that,
driver with telegram to Helen
which would give Plattville the news that
Harkless was found and was not yet gone
from them. Horner took the cab and left for
the station; there was train, and there were
things for him to do In Carlow. At noon
Meredith sent second telegram to Helen, as
barren of detail the first; he was alive
was a little improved. This telegram did not
reach her, for she was on her way to Rouen,
and half the population Of Carlow-at least,
so it appeared to the unhappy conductor of
the accommodaticn-was with her.
They seemed to feel that they could camp
in the hospital halls and corridors, and they
were an incalculable worry to the authorities.
More came on every train. and nearly all
brought flowers, and jelly, and chickens for
preparing broth, and they insisted that the
two latter delicacies be fed to the patient at
once. Meredith was possessed by an un-

sidered lucid interval, had 1t not appeared
that Helen Sherwood was whispering to Tom
Meredith at the foot Of his bed. This he
knew to be fictitious presentation of his
fever for was she not by this time away and
away for foreign lands? And, also, Tom Mer-
edith was slim young thing, and not the
middle-aged youth with an undeniable stom-
ach and baldish head, who. by the grotesque
snecromancy of his hallucinations, assumed a
preposterous likeness to his old friend He
waved his hand to the figures and they van
ished like fgments Of a dream; but all the
same the vision had been realistic enough for
the lady to look exquisitely pretty. No one
could help wishing to stay in a world which
contained as charming picture as that.
Z And then, too quickly, the moment OF
clearness passed; and he was troubled about
the Herald beseeching those near him to put
copies Of the paper In his hands, threatening
angrily to believe they were deceiving him,
that his paper had suspended, If the three is
sues Of the week were not instantly produced.
What did they mean by keeping the truth
from him? He knew the Herald had not
come out. Who was there to get 1t out IN his
absence? He.raised himself on his elbow and
struggled to be up; and they had. hard work
to quiet him.
But the next night Meredith waited near his
bedside, haggard and disheveled. Harkless
had been lying in a long stupor; suddenly he
spoke, quite loudly, and the young surgeon,
Gay, who leaned over him, remembered the
words and the tone all his life.

John Harkless. 'She was here-once-in

What is it, John?" whispered Meredith,

And John smiled a little. as if. for an in

THREE-EYED ANIMALS.
The Tuatara Lizard and the Lamprey
Eel, Both of Eew Zealand.

There is probably no more interesting
country in the world to a biologist than
New Zealand. and to Prof. Dendy is due
the credit of having made some very
valuable original researches in regard to
some of the more characteristics fauna of
the country.
Nearly everyone has heard of the tua-
tara. the curious. iguana-like looking
creature, now found on only one or two
islands off the coast of New Zealand, and
supposed to be the Oldest living types Of
animal on the face of the globe One of
the most curious features is an organ en-
the head. which at one time was spoken
of as the pineal gland, but which DR..
Dendy discovered to be in reality third
eye. His paper on the subject caused the
greatest interest in scientific circles. and
as an illustration of the way in which re-
search is specialized nowadays II may be
mentioned that while DR.. Dendy devoted
himself to the study of the third eye one
distinguished English biologist is work
ing OUT the skeleton, another the kid
heys, and so forth. In a short time.
therefore. our anatomical knowledge of
the tuatara ought to be complete.
More recently DR.. Dendy has discovered
another New Zealand creature possessing
third eye. This is the New Zealand
lamprey. favorite article of food among
the Maoris. The third eye is situated
right on top of the head and is covered
with thin coating of skin. II is doubt
full whether it is now of any practical use
for seeing, but DR.. Dendy believes that
at one time, far back in the worlds his
tory. there were two eyes on the back of
the lamprey's head. He is further of the
opinion that at one time the tuatara also
had fxrn trb
mains. In the tuatara it is the left eye
which has survived. while in the lamprey
ii is the right one.
The English lamprey has only two eyes.
and is to that extent inferior to its New
Zealand congener. but it has its compen-
sations, for was it not recorded in our
history books at school that an English
king died from eating too many lampreys7
No one can deprive the English lamprey
of that distinction. Behold yet another
instance Ct the way in which the his

terbalance attractions which we owe TO

WOMEN IN THE STOCK YARDS.
Taking the Places of Men in Chicago's
Distinctive Industry.

Slowly but irresistibIy women and girls
are forcing men out OF the lighter work
that is done at the stock yards. Thou
sands of them are employed in the pack
ing and canning factories there. and IL
the business grows as 1t has done within
the last three years thousands more will
be used In no case. however. are women
working at anything but what might be
termed Kitchen work." such as cutting
dried beef, packing cans. stuffing sau-
sages. and labelling cans.
Dread has been aroused by this growth
of female labor in the yards. and many
OF the social settlement leaders fear the
time may come when the girls will use
the knife even in staying So great has
this become that Miss Mary Mcdowell. of
the University OF Chicago Settlement.
Union Label League.
General opinion In the yards. however,
is that the day is still far distant when
the girls actually will take a hand in
the killing Of even a chicken.
Between 5000 and 5000 women and girls
are on the payroll of the various stock
yards houses. They form 70 per cent. OF
the employees in the canning factories,
In both concerns the girls. while taking
work that once was done by men. are
hired to DO only the lighter grades Of
labor.
In one of the ROOMS where forty girls
were busy painting cans, and where the
fumes of the paint were heavy, all were
asked II they liked their work, whether
they got sufficient pay and whether they
were willing to give up their places to
men.

1.-The question is right here" said
James Rostande. who works in the pack
ing department OF Armour & Co. "The
girls have been coming in here by the
hundreds and they have taken the light
work. There Is not girl and never will
be a girl or woman who will use the knife |
for slaughtering purposes. but they have |
taken the easy and easy money making |
iubs. Their fingers are more deft than /
ours and where strength is not necessary |
they are doing we'll. I am under the /
impression that no man has been forced |
out OF work. but they have been forced |
out of easy work"
The girls cut and pack dried beef and |
label the cans. Beef is cooked for ex-
tracts and then packed by them. They
clean and pare vegetables and put them
into cans for use. The meat extras are
trimmed and cut up by them. All this is
called Kitchen work. In addition 10

St. Louis for time, later removing to
Leavenworth, Kan, and afterward to
Omaha, Neb., where he remained until
1868.
His Work for the Armies.
In 1863 Mr.. Clowry's mastery of the
telegraph business came to the attention
of President Lincoln. Mr.. Lincoln asked
him to enter the army service and he ac-
cepted, receiving the appointment of cap
tain and assistant quartermaster OF the
United States Army
He was Immediately assigned TO duty by
the quartermaster general in charge of the
United States military telegraphs in the
Southwest, with headquarters at Little
Rock. Ark. and later at st. Louis.
Mr.. Clowry's work during the war drew
to him the attention OF the Western Union
Telegraph Company, and on his retire
ment from the army he was Immediately
appointed district superintendent of the
Western Union lines in the Southwest,
continuing his headquarters in st. Louis.
He continued in that capacity until 1873.
