Arrived at the edge OF the woods,
he turned for last look at the ones
who held everything dear to him in
life Nell was standing on the same
spot where he had left her and as he
turned she raised the baby on high in
her strong young arms. Williams
waved his hand In reply, then turned
his back to the pair and plunged dog
gedly into the woods, where the men
were waiting for him.
Now" he growled, go ahead with
your hangin'"
Hank led the way and the rest fol-
lowed silently. Arriving at the place
where Williams had been surprised
they halted. There was an awkward
silence for a moment which was bro

looking at Hank and shifting uneasily
from one foot to the other.

Williams stood like a man in
dream for a moment after Hank had
finished speaking and then the full
realization Of all that his words i'm
piled came to him in overwhelming
force, and despite his will power his
emotions mastered him and great sobs
shook his frame.
The unusual sight of a man in this
condition acted like spur on the
others, and they turned hastily and
started towards the spot where they
had tied their horses, Hank swearing
savagely for no apparent reason.
Williams stood where they had left
him until the last man had disap-
peared from view over the top of the
ledge. Then slowly STOPPING he picked
up the pail, filled it from the brook and
went back to Nell and the kid"

DREAMING and polna.

"Those who dream do not do. Those
who do have no time to dream"
These epigrams from a recent ar
ticle by. ssareh pernhardt apply not
only to the art students, for whom
she wrote it, but with equal aptness
to the woman ordering home or the
business girl earning her livelihood
out of the home.
1T seems to me-" she continues,
that the successful ones are those
who never think at all about success,
but simply work. They love art, and
they toll They make no speeches,
never seek to impress others with the
certainty of their own success; never,
in fact. bother their heads about 9TH
ers or the opinion of others at any
time They work patiently, they work
year after year; their work improves
little by little. and they wake some
day surprised to find themselves sue.

A silence followed this request
which was finally broken by Hank
Wal" said he slowly, 81 reckon our
time amt so terrible precious but
what we can give you five minutes of
it. What do you say. boys?" Hank
had a wife and children at home.
The boys" were evidently not in
favor of extending this clemency to
Williams, but the silence with which
they received the question was due
partly to the fact that, in that section
of the country, it was considered un-
lucky to oppose the questioner's
wishes.
Hank. acting on the principle that
silence means acquiescence, gruffly
ordered Williams to lead the way to
the camp.
Arriving at the edge of the prairie.
the crowd halted and after being elo-
quently advised as to what would hap
pen If he should be so foolish as to
attempt any tricks. the condemned
man was allowed to proceed alone
towards the wagon.
Nell was sitting on the ground be-
fore the fire with baby in her arms,
rocking back and forth and singing
soft lullaby. She looked up as VIII.
Jams approached and putting her fin.
gers TO her lips. enjoined silence.
Williams bent over her and held out
his arms for the baby, and for the
first time Nell noticed the absence of
the pail. The discovery surprised her
into speech
why, Jim. where is the water?"
why IL dropped the pail in the
crick and come back to git something

I'd jest like to hold the kid mint

The kid" had opened his eyes dur
ing this dialogue and as there was no
more need for quiet, Nell arose with a
merry laugh and gave the baby to its
father
Williams held the infant with one
arm against his breast and extended
the other to Nell. She obediently
sided up to him and with bursting
heart he held them close a moment.
The boot of an owl warned him that
hts time was up, so pushing Nell away
almost roughly. he placed the baby In
her arms and started of in the direc-
ton from which the sound had come.

watch. It seems that Sam and a

Sam won all OF his money; then he

watch. The next day the man had

his watch.
At the trial the judge asked Sam II

"N.no." The judge asked him how

HISTORIC RELIC OF INTEREST.
Chair Said to Have Been Used by
Fuuitive Reqicide judges.

Fugitive Reecide Judges.
In the possession of the Rev. A. N
Somers of Sharon, Mass, is an old
chair, said to have been used by the
regiclde judges, COTE and Whaley,
after their escape to America and
while they were in hiding here from
the kings troops. Whaley was
brother-in-law of Oliver Cromwell
and William COTE was the formers
son-in-law and one of the strongest
men in Cromwells government.
The chair was used by them while
they were in hiding in the house of
the Rev. John Russell in Hadley, after
leaving the hiding place in the cave
in Connecticut 1t formerly had rock
ers on it, which 1t is said we're worn
off during the fourteen years of con-
slant use by one or the other of the
two exiles as they sat in the attic
room of Mr.. Russell's house.
Tradition says that Judge COTE was
sitting in this chair, when the Indians
attacked the village and that he rose
from 1t to take command of the citi-
zen forces that drove the savages off
after a stubborn fight.
After the death of Mr.. Russell this
chair, by purchase. came into the pos
session of a Mrs. Hadley, who re-
moved from Massachusetts to Burnt
Hills, N. Y. At her death 1t passed
to her daughter. Mrs. Hinkson, whose
son Ezra, SOME 20 years of age, in
1880 gave the chair to Mr.. Somers,
pastor of the church Of which he was
member in Holland, N. Y. 1t has
been in Mr.. Somers' possession since.
"The story of the chair being con-
nected with COTE and Whaley," said
Mr.. Somers recently, "came with so
much directness and simplicity from
such artless and illiterate people that
have always accepted it as undoubt-
edly true, and of importance as con-

The only animate object in sight on
the vast wilderness of fairness to the
east was a prairie schooner drawn by
a pair of lean, struggling horses which
was making its way towards the haven

He obediently took the pail and

Labor's Dawn.

The toilers day begins to dawn.
Its golden morn comes gently on;
Yon mountain rises from the night
With helmet gilded with its light.
There high appears the mornings glow,
While black extends the night below.
Where prowl the creatures OF the dark,
Where still is heard the watchdog's bark.
The light that tips yon mountains crest
Portends the age of darkness past;
That gloomy night shall lose its sway;
The world of toll shall have Its day.
The clouds that clothe the mountains
side
Begin to fall apart, divide;
The day shall follow break OF dawn
And labor come unto its own.
Shall peace not usher in the day;
On cloud and crag shall lightning play;
Shall thunder's voice the vale awake
And Wild the storm In fury break.
Shall rather reasons ray serene
With soft effulgence light the scene,
A world where love and labor reign.
with peace on earth, good will 70 man.

Behold the soured pessimist,
With ffS @n he goes around;
lie never aces the smiling sun,
He gazes on the ground
The only skies his eyes ere greet
Are In the puddles at his feet.
Though flowers bloom along the way
Their grace he never needs,
He searches out with acid eye
The rank, forbidding weeds;
The dainty rose he spurns and scorns
And only finds the bitter thorns.
He never hears the ringing laugh,
But listens for the sighs
He always wears veil of mist
Before his gloomy eyes;
The way he goes Is full Of gloom,
He's always looking to the tomb
Behold the gloomy pesslmist,

MINISTERS ORGANIZE.
Protestant Association Formed and
 Officers Elected Yesterday.

The Protestant Ministers Associa- ton of Bisbee is the title of an organ zation effected yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, when ministers represent ing the five Protestant churches of Bisbee met and decided to band them selves together for the purpose of uni ty and effective work.
 AS a result of the meeting the fol lowing officers were elected:
 President, Harvey 4I. Shields.
 Vice-President. C. C. Young.
 Secretary, J. E. Fry.
 Though the Association has a def nite purpose, plans are not yet forth coming, and nothing farther than sim pie organization was yesterday effect ed. The idea, however. originated in the successful work attributed to the formation of similar societies in a ma jority of the cities of the country. . Regular meetings are expected to be held each Monday morning. when pa. pers will be read by the different pas tors. It is also planned to have prominent ministers from outside points come and speak in association meetings.
 Mutual help of an instructive char acter and effective work among the people composing the different con- Sregations of this city are to be some of the results anticipated from the coming meetings.

RAILROAD STILL CRIPPLED.
Tunnel Continues Closed to Passenqei
 Trafflc-Cananea Line Opens.

The F. P. & s. w. continues to be much hampered in its transportation department the tunnel below Osborne not yet being open to passenger traf- hc. It may be today, and it may not be for several days.
 Meantime passengers from both ends of the main line will continue to struggle into the city from one to three hours late. while outgoing pas senGers will get away on morning and evening trains from a few minutes to an hour or so late. The situation IS disagreeable, but it is better than risking life in the tunnel. General freight and ore are going through the latter without hindrance.
 The first train in several days came over the Cananea road yesterday. It IS now thought to be open permanent ly. The fact is one that is grateful to Cananea, which town has been pressed lately for supplies in some lines because of the tie up that has obtained in the freight department of the railroad.
