The sickest man is not always IN
bed. The meanest kind Of sickness
Is jest to be able to attend to duties
and yet not feel equa1 to the task.
The eternal grind keeps many IN the
traces who oeght to be IN bed.
A thorough course Of Johnson's
ChNl and Fever Tonic wou1d give a
new lease on life to such people. It
tones up the whole digestive appa-
rates. Puts the liver In the best con-
dition possible. Gives a splendid
appetite. Renews strength and re-
stores vitality.

within him. Yet, again and again this
proposition presented itself to him,
crushing his hope and breaking his
heart: How could a woman who loved
a man, and a woman especially who
had become sufficiently conversant with
military affairs through her hospital
service and other experiences in this
war to understand what she was doing,
have placed her lover in so dreadful
position?
And most damnably crushing thought
of all, why had she not had the COM
mon decency after all to come and see
him this morning? He was in trouble,
and he suffered for her sake. She must
know that, she must realize it. Why
did she give no sign Of it? His loneli-
ness and his craving to see her were
terrible. His desire to see her grew
with every passing moment, he was
consumed by it; yet, he thought bitter
ly, to what purpose after all?
The San Francisco call., 1903-12-27

solved in his own mind firmly to dis
courage such efforts. He took a gloomy
view of life and-of love and of women
do they not always go together in the
heart Of youth? There was nothing
now, therefore, for which he cared to
live.
Yet If he could only see Fanny Glen
again! Why did she not send some one
to inquire as to his whereabouts? At
least to ask after his welfare? She
must know he was under arrest Why
could she net come herself? He was
sacrificing himself for her, to preserve
her freedom, ay, her honor and reputa-
ton. She might not love him, but at
least she might have manifested de-
cent interest in his fate. The barest
politeness ought to make a woman
take some thought for a man who
was about to be shot for her sake. he
thought bitterly.
The San Francisco call., 1903-12-27

he would go to his grave silent, load
Ing upon her the weight Of an obliga-
don, from which she should never es-
cape. When the war was over she
might marry that man on the Wabash
whom she had been so anxious to save
that she had pretended love for him
Sempland Yes, he would be under OBJ
legation, too. this Union sailor, for to
Sempland would be due his possession
of Fanny Glen.
The imprisoned officer ground his
teeth in rage at that thought and
turned suddenly from the barred win
dow where he had been standing list
lessly looking down the bay toward old
Fort Sumter, knocked to pieces by
fierce bombardment, yet still flying the
Stars and Bars in brave defiance of the
ironclads far away, and, with clenched
hands, firm set lips and troubled brow,
began pacing up and down the long
apartment. The moments dragged mis-
erably. He wished they would assem-
BILE that court-martial and have IL over
with. He would not care what they

Well, he swore to himself. II she
should come at the last moment, she
would find him as cold as ice, as in
different as a Laodicean, He would
show her that he appreciated at its
true value not only her heinous con-
duct, but her criminal neglect as well.
He would make her understand that it
was not love for her that kept him
silent. Oh, no! Simply the obligation
of a gentleman, man OF honor, albeit
a Quixotic one. Oh, noble resolution!

as If he had indeed lost everything.
He had been certain at first that Fan
ny Glen had returned his swift, i'm
pulsive caress in the strong room
even in the peculiar circumstances
under which he had bestowed it upon
her. and he had therefore naturally
inferred that she loved him. Indeed,
when he thought Of the look in her
eyes when he strained her to his breast,
although>he had the pistol pointed at
her forehead, the conviction was strong
The San Francisco call., 1903-12-27

He loved her. indeed. There was a joy
in that thought that set her heart beat
ing. The general drew his subordinate
into a cor-er of the room, where they
conversed earnestly for few moments.
Then they came back to the young girl.
"Adjutant General Wylie," said the
chief, you will take
charge of Miss Glen. You will fol-
low him, Miss Glen. I Will communi-
cate my further plans within an hour"
There was something intensely pa

Well, there was no use in worrying or
speculating any longer. ItAWould all be
over soon now. He was sufficiently ex-
perienced as a soldier to know what
would happen to him. There was only
one possible verdict, only one punish
ment for the crimes with which he was
charged. When he was sentenced
to death his friends would un-
doubtedly move heaven and earth to
get President Davis to mitigate or COM
mute his punishment; but he was re-

thetic in the droop Of the little figure,
in spite Of the comforting thoughts
that had come to her, when the girl
rose and followed the soldier from the
room.
The general was almost persuaded to
call after her a reassuring word or
two, but restrained himself and said
nothing.

At the dedication of the Jacob Tome
institute Of Port Deposit Nd. Leigh
ton Coleman, the bishop of Delaware,
said:
mo doubt you are all aware that
John Ruskin was opposed to the pro
miscuous erection of new churches
Begging for building funds for
churches he especially abhorred. He
claimed that unless there was a cla-
mant need for a church. unless the PEG
pie desired it passionately, unless
there was on hand an abundance of
money for its building, It would be a
faiiure-a failure In point of beauty
and in point Of usefulness equally.
"a friend of mine, ignorant of this
prejudice. once wrote and asked him
to subscribe for the building of GER
tain church. The letter that Ruskin
sent in reply was jewel. Eight pages
long, 1t condemned with the most burn
ing and vehement eloquence the
churchs erection. But my friend took
the letter to an autograph dealer and
sold it readily for $50. putting Ruskin
down for that amount on his subscrip
tion list"

A dull boy came to the Adelphi Art

thought was so peculiar that Professor
John Whitaker. who for more than a
quarter of century has been engaged
in developing Brooklynites to be arts

board on which the young man had
been trying to draw foot.

rocco Makes a Journey.
In the morning at O'Clock the bugle
sounded to break camp. The foot SOL
dicrs arose, pulled up their tent pegs
and were away in the darkness. Gradu-
ally the remaining tents came down
and the throng of Arabs were on the
move. The sultans tent remained. A
little to one side his ministers and
kaids patiently waited, the latter form
Ing large, hollow square, at one end
Of which stood the ministers. while in
front Of them a spacious blue and
gold chair awaited its sacred occupant.
Presently the wall opened and he ap-
peared. his maslllike visage turning
neither right nor left. With garments
swaying rhythmically he walked to
the chair and seated himself. A slave
at his side famed him with white
silken cloth to defend his sacred mas
ter from imaginary insects. He whis-
pered to the slave, who called to one
of the ministers. Hurriedly he ap-
peared, lowering his hood; then. after
removing his slippers Just back Of his
majesty, presented himself and after
short conversation. was dismissed.
Presently five gorgeously saddled
horses were brought before their royal
master, who, with a motion Of his
hand. chose one. the others being taken
away, while he rose with great So
lemnlty and, mounting. rode to all sides
of the square, to be thrice saluted by
each body of soldiers. This ceremony
completed, the musicians. armed with
oboes and tomtoms. disturbed the at
mosphere with n doleful, prehistoric
dirge, and the procession was under
way. 1t was nothing but an entangle
ment of artillery. infantry, flags, horse
men and court officers in a mad riot
but. as in thrashing machine tearing
its insides furiously. the wheat, straw
and chaff found their channels at once
and left the ignorant beholder spell
bound. Behold. They were moving
with military precision. a brother Of
the sultan at the head. followed by an
extremely wide row of mounted SOL
diers carrying silken standards of all
colors
Then came the artillery, rattling and
humping. and coming to grief often
where the roads were bad. Next fol-
lowed mounted soldiers and a score of
government officers, a sort of police.
After a short space, riding alone, came
the kaid of the mishwa master Of
ceremonies). very straight and very
black, pictur0Quely huggtng his gun
close to him.
After him followed four led horses
abreast all richly saddled, for the sui
tan's use should he tire Of his mount.
Then, with some distance intervening,
came the sultan. alone save for six
black slaves who kept up a continual
waiting Of white cloths in the direc-
ton of his face.
A palanquin containing the blue chair
then appeared, carried between two
mules just in front of another row of
mounted standard bearers. followed by
the minister Of war and the important
members Of the court. All were
obliged to turn aside and make way

CLAIMS HE WAS
 ROBBED OF ROLL

Pine Bluff, Dec. 27. On the affidavit of D. M. Cloud of h. diana, a warrant was issued to- day charging Mrs. Jessie Larch, wife of Morgan Larch, with grand larceny. Clouds state ment is to the effect that he met Mrs. Larch in Memphis last week and she invited him to her home. He called Thursday and she in vited him to drink some whisky. He fell into a stupor immediately afterward, he says, and was robbed of $150. Mrs. Larch was a prominent young lady of Hot Springs prior to her marriage, and she and her husband have always been highly regarded here. On account of prominence of standing of Larch's family the affair has attracted great inter est.
