DYING ChlLD'S KINDNESS.

Summoned Playmates to Bedside and
Divided Her Toys Among Them.
Swathed in bandages and dying from
terrible burns, little Johanna Johnson
twelve years old, recently gathered her
playmates about her bedside in the
South Chicago hospital and distributed
her toys among them-"Just to remem-
Der me by" she said. She gave to the
little group all her possessions, while
her mother, heartbroken, chung to her
hand and wept, says the New York
Press.
Her playmates had gone to the hos
pital not suspecting that she was dy-
ing. The child seemed pleased when
they entered. Then, as she lay talking
to her little friends, the last terrible
agony that preceded death seized her.
TASK them to sing" whispered the
child and fell back on her pillow dead

He heard the story with interest and
wonder, and as told it began to see
the full value of the psychic phenome-
non involved. Every item Of Donald's
information had been absolutely cor
rect. 1t was only through error in the
Interpretation that any difficulty had
arisen. No additional explanation
could be extorted from Donald. AL
most his only contribution to the con.
yersation was the gloomy and oft re-
peated prayer:
please don't say anything about it,
Mr.. Hackett"
Finally we veered around to the sub
ject of business, and Hackett produced
the documents necessary to the trans
fer. Donaldson and Archer were sum-
moned, and l opened the safe, produc-
ing the two packages and my check
book. Then came the real surprise of
this most strange affair. The pack
ages when opened proved to contain
sheets of thin brown paper cut to the
size Of bank notes. The $4,000 had
vanished.
will confess that this was the black
est mystery that had ever darkened my
understanding. No one but Donald
son Ghan whom no man could be more
trustworthy had known the combina-
ton of the safe, and he had had no
key Of the inner doors nor of the draw
er. Yet the locks upon these had not
been tempered with. After an exam
ination of them Reedy declared that
"the trick hadn't been turned in the
safe" and we all at last agreed in the
conclusion that the theft had been
committed days ago, during the time
when the packages had lain upon my
desk. They had been there only a few
hours, but unfortunately my memory
was very weak as to the circumstances.
/ seemed to recall having locked them
up in the desk while l went across to
the factory, but under Reedy's ques-
tioning | admitted that l might have
left the keys in the desks lock.
This puts it on to everybody" said
the detective. 1--WE don't know moth
ing about who might have come into
this room. We've got to make a gen
eral hunt"
Mr.. Reedy was Immediately directed
to assume charge of the case, and for
the next two or three weeks he worked
with exemplary diligence, but without
results. An attempt was made to keep
the story from circulating, but some
how 1t got about, even that portion
which related to Donald's foreknowl-
edge of the robbery.
1t came to Kelvin's ears, and he took
pleasure in referring to my boy as 'the
mind reader" He had conceived a
violent dislike of Donald, and the boy
seemed to be deeply afflicted in conse-
quence thereof, no doubt for pretty
Amy Kelvin's sake From certain
things which l observed l formed a
firm judgment that the daughter Of
my amiable neighbor did not agree
with her father in regard to Donald,
and considering the youth Of the par
ties this parental opposition could not
be taken too seriously. However, as
Donald suffered and | loved him, my
heart was warmly on his side, and l
began to hate Kelvin cordially and
with a fervor that may have been
prophetic

ELD Q R ADO
Gusher is Still Gushing
 Wildly.

Dawson, Dec. 6.-The gusher on 3a EldOrado is developing new freak and the miners in that vicinity like Micaw- Der are waiting for something else to turn up. wondering what new surprise is in store for them. It appears that the action of he water rising through the shaft to the surface with such veloc- ity is causing the gravel and muck ad- joining the crihbiug to thaw with the consequent result that cave-ins are be- coming numerous. How extensive they are no one can tell but from the amount of cribbing that has been torn loose and come to the surface the indications are that hidden force little suspected has been at work and may have wrought a havoc with the shaft not contemplated by the delivers after the second bedrock.
 So far as can be observed there has been no diminution in the volume of water. and it would appear that the caving in of the sides has not been SD extensive as to interfere with the flow. The water today is very muddy, which may be accounted for by the disinte- grated muck coming to the surface in the form of d liquid solution instead of frozen as hard as granite.
 The government still has 40 men em- ployed in caring for the water and di- recting it through the channel that has been cut for it in ice of the creek bed Thirty are employed on the day shift and 10 on the night. The cost to the government for such will approximate SJ50 day.
