with relish after being assured that they were not expensive She had been working beyond her falling strength, of late .and 1t gave her a luxurious sense of rest and comfort to lie abed and hear the work going on without any care on her part.
 One evening, after they had been married a week. Ozias and his wife sat together in the sitting room. Their work was done and Lucy had just as- sured herself that her mother-in-law was asleep.
 "Ozias," she said, "I don't have work enough here I shall get lazy if I can't find something more to do. And I have a plan. I want to give mother, a surprise when she is able to sit up and come in here. I want to fix the room up. She sleeps so much during the day that I will have time to do 1t with out her suspecting. Sc tomorrow, when you go to town, won't you get some paint and some samples of paper for the walls? D
 Ozias looked disturbed 'Itll cost a lot" he said. Lucy had received of his "nearness" She looked at him meditatively. then she went and sat on his knee. Are we so dreadfully poor?" she said sympa- thetically.
 ozias smiled. Not so very" he an- SWeTeOs ana ne menu Oneu the nRureS of his ban kaccount.
 With playful tenderness Lucy kissed the tip end of his nose. Then I guess we can afford to fix up this room," she said
 And another thing" she went on. "Of course I don't want to dictate, but as long as we have to go through all the motions of making butter. why not make some? It wouldn't be hardly any more work. Couldn't we get another cowT
 q wanted to-" said ozias. but mother wasn't able to tend to It."
 The next day Ozias bought the paint and they selected the wall paper.
 When the older Mrs Elliot was able to come into the sitting room she was overcome with surprise. Tt looks good" she admitted, but it must have cost an awful lot"
 "Oh, well. mother" Ozias said, we've got another cow now, so our income is bigger"
 How she did it Ozias himself did not know. but before the year was out Lucy had managed to paint and paper all the rooms in the house. and had even bought good many new things, so that their home was as pretty as need be.
 For d long time his mother talked gloomily Of the poor house, but she en- joyed the pretty rooms in spite of her sell, anu eiS SNCh WItn Lucy Tree use of money they were still able to add a little to the precious bank account, she gradually became reconciled. though she never got so that she could see Ozias give his wife money without pain. But Ozias would laugh and say, Don't worry, mother; she knows where to put it so it'll do he most good" and the old lady would shake her head and say. Well, don't s'pose I have any call to complain"
 And to think" Ozias would say sometimes. what if Aunt Scovill had been pleasant that morning and you hadn't run out as you did, or If hadn't been there for you to run into. or 1t had been someone else, and I had come home without you and found mother at the foot of tse cellar stairs, what would have done? I tell you it almost gives me the nightmare to think of it."

THE WEAKNESS OF OZIAS

 There was no denying that Ozias was near" His father had been near be- fore him. and his mother was near con temporaneously with him. IL IS doupt- full if he ever had experienced any oth- CT sentiments except the desire to earn money and save money. If in the spring the young mans fancy lightly turned to thoughts of love, his mother diasnosed the symptoms differently and invariably prescribed sulphur and mo- lasses.
 Bat one spring something happened. It was morning in early May one or hIs peddling days, and he started out with his load of potatoes, beets, pars- nips rhubarb. dandelions and few pounds of butter his mother had made. He stopped at the houses of his regular customers, and at about o'clock he had disposed of most of his load and had reached the house of the Widow Scovill.
 Now, the Widow scovill had a niece. or more properly her late husbands niece, named Lucy, who lived with her. The aunt never let the girl forget that she was alone in the world and 0e- holden to her. Mrs Scovill. for every mouthful of bread she ate. But if ever bread was eaten in the sweat of the brow 1t was that which sustained the
 
 ly all the work of the house, and there were two school teacher boarders in the family. Not only this, but the Widow Scovill was extremely neat, and liked to see others work. so she spent her time in discovering or inventing things for Lucy to do.
 On this particular May morning, Aunt Scovill had been more than usually trying, and the tears came even before the girl could hide them in shame. So it was that as she fled blindly along the gravel walk. she collided violently with Ozias Elliot.
 Ozias, taken completely by surprise and nearly knocked off his feet. in- stinctively threw his arms about her and held her close while he regained his equilibrium. What Is the mat ter?" he cried in consternation.
 Lucy tried to draw away, looking up in his face with tear-filled eyes to see who he was. "Oh. MT. Elliott" she gasped "let me go."
 He released her. but stood before her so that she could not pass him in the narrow path. You must tell me what Is the natter" he said in a tone of command
 She stood before him with downcast eyes and trembling lips. Why. Aunt was very unkind and was just going out to have a little cry"
 Ozius was silent. He suddenly re- membered all the gossip he had heard about the widows treatment of the girl and he also recalled little things he had himself heard and seen when sell ing his vegetables there. Then all at once he knew what 1t was that he had

felt the need of all the spring.
 Lucy" he sf i'd earnestly, T want to take you away from here. If you will ko to the minister's with me and be married. will take you home with me. andAI will be kind to you and do my best to make you happy"
 Lucy looked up at him with some thing like alarm in her blue eyes. but he looked back at her earnestly and steadily ,and after a moment he saw that she was yielding.
 Come" he said. and he put his arm about her and drew her toward ms waiting horse and wagon.
 Half an hour later they stood before n minister and were married.
 When he led his wife Into his own house his mother was nowhere to De seen. Ozias searched all through the down stairs rooms, then noticing that the cellar door stood open. he hurried down the stairs in quick alarm. Al tn bottom he fou1i his mother. un- conscious. where she had fallen only faw minutes before. He brought her upstairs and laid her on her pea. ana leaving her in charge of Lucy hurried off to get the doctor.
 Mrs Elliot's injuries. while painful. ware not serious, the doctor said There ,',ora no broken bones. but she had hean greatly shaken. and she suffered severely from a badly sprdined ankle and numerous cuts and bruises Her nbvsica' discomfort occupied her so fuIlv all that day that she hardly mo- ticed Lucy's presence, and so explana- tions were not necessary. .
 Ozias went to the village toward nigbt to get his wife's belongings. which he brought home He did not sav much about his interview with the Widow Scovill. merely telling Lucy that he explain ad matters to her. She took it rather hard" he said. with a twinkle in his eye. but there was nothinr she could do" From which remark and the disordered condition of her possessions, Lucy drew her own conclusions.
 The next morning Mrs. Elliot called Ozias to her bedside. Her face was puckered with anxiety. "Ozias." she began. don't have the doctor any more: there's no need of 1t and we can't afford it. I don't know what we are going to do. I'm so lame and sore I can't hardly move, and I won't be able to step on that foot for week"
 Don't you worry. mother; we've got someone to look after things" he said. she takes real good care of you. so won don't need to worry
 who is she?" demanded the old lady with sudden suspicion. She ain't a trained nurse. Is she? They are terrible expensive"

 His mother gasped. "Your-wife" She was silent a long time: then she settled back among her pillows as if a weight was off her mind. You won't have to pay her. then" she said.
 Lucy looked puzzled, and Ozlas drew her out into the kitchen. Mother is a little near" he explained
 The invalid was somewhat irritable and grained, but after her ex- nerience of Mrs Scovill. Lucy found her mother-in-law a model of amiability. and her first misgivings as to how they would get on together vanished. She cooked dainty things to tempt her ap- petite, which the older woman ate

 martial.

Annapolis, Md. Nov. 26.-The body of Midshipman James R. Branch. Jr. who died November after fist fight with Midshipnian Minor Meriwether, whose trial by court-martial on charges that include manslaughter. will be contfn- ued tomorrow morning. was dlsinterred today and an autopsy was held by board of naval medical officers pursu- ant to orders of the Secretary of the Navy.
 The condition of the body was found to be such that those who held the autopsy will be able to answer ques- tions that have arisen during the Meri- wether trial as to the condition of Mid- shipman Branch's heart and other or- gans prior to the fight. {
 The board performing the autopsy was composed of Surgeon J. G. Byrncs the ranking medical officer attached to the Naval Academy, and Past. Assist ant Surgeons w. R. webbeax and R. E. Hoyt, also of the Naval Academy medical staff. As requested by coun- sel for Meriwether. Medical Director Howard Flames, Surgeon of the North ern Atlantic fleet, and Surgeon E.. D. Datewood were present. as was also Dr. l.. W. Glaze Brook, an expert in medical testimony. who has acted off, Ciatly III dutoPSiCS hClu III " sOhs for some years.
 All those taking part in the autopsy were bound to secrecy as to their dis coveries until their evidence is given before the court-martial. Surgeon J.. G. Byrnes. ranking officer. however, made the statement that the body was In condition to furnish such 'evidence as was desired.
 3The autopsy was conducted in a tent erected in the naval cemetery near the grave of young Branch but some of the organs were taken to the naval hospital for examination.
 The work of the medical men lasted until late this afternoon and at its con cIusion the body was reinterred. That the autopsy was nor made at the time of Branchs death was due to the objections of his parents. Meri- wether's counsel however, have indf- cated that one of their lines of defense will rest upon a possible doubt as to Branch's death having resulted. from injuries resulting from the fight with Meriwether.
 They have questioned witnesses as Go other possible causes induced by or- ganic weakness, and 1t was for the purpose of determining whether such weakness existed in Branch previous to the fight that the autopsy was held.

TROOPS KILL OFFICERS
(Continued from Page one.)

as known both the mutineers and the workmen in the port have conducted themselves in a perfectly orderly fashion.
 There is a strong impression here that intelligent leaders are at the head of the movement. It is evident also that the sailors at Cronstadt have had underground information of what was happening at Sebastopol, because Sat urday morning, before the news was known in St. Petersburg. reports of the mutlny were freely circulated at Cron- stadt
 vice-Admiral Bireleff, Minister of Marine, has issued formal order threatening with arrest and the sever est punishment under the law all those who circulated reports of the mutiny.
 In the cabinet and naval circles it is regarded as absolutely vital that the mutiny be crushed in the sereyest fash ion at any cost. If discipline in the navy is to be restored and the army held loyal. In the event of the sailors of Admiral Chouknin's ship re- maining loyal, they will cooperate with the troops of the 7th corps from Simferopol
 Could Hem in MutIneers.
 The problem of hemming in the mu- tineers and subduing the revolt is stat ed by naval officers to be comparatfvely easy. Inc marine barracks lie at the extremity of a narrow tongue of land jutting out between the Southern road stead and what is known as the ships bay"
 The barracks of the Bielostok reEi- ment are at the very neck of the benin sula, nestling under the shelter of the famous Malok hill. barring the route to the city, which lies on the southern side of the roadstead opposite the quarters of the sailors.
 The warships could enter the road stead and Ships Bay, practically sur round the mutineers on three sides. and batter their barracks down about their ears.
 The forts of Sebastopol lie west of the city and along the north shore of Sebastopol Bay and only the guns of Fort Constantine. which defend the en- try to the roadstead. could be brought to bear upon the barracks The wounded Admiral Pisarevski. who commanded the practice squadron of the fleet, was one of the naval he- ! roes of the Russo Turkish war. He was on board the Viga with Roiest- vensky when that vessel was torpe- 1 doed by Turkish monitor.

A.,,n,,ou Against Foreigners.
FOLK WILL OFFER REWARD.
a3. .Cf,O For Conviction of Persons Who
 Furnished Rlrearms.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Nov. 26.-Govern- or Folk announced tonight that tomor- row h ewould offer a reward of S3,00O for the arrest and conviction of the persons who furnished tho firearms and explosives to the convicts which were used in the mutiny last Friday at the penitentiary.
 Governor Folk today secured from Edward Raymond a confession regard ing the matter. Raymond told the Governor that aVughan came to Ryan, Blake and himself about q month ago and told them that if they would join him he would enable them to make their escape. Vaughan told them while they were together in their cell, that he had explosives by which he could blow the stockade up and they could escape. Later when 1t was discovered that Vaughan did not have sufficient amount of the explosive 1t was decided to hold up the deputy warden and make him let them out through the gate.
 Blake was a locomotive engineer and the plan was to secure a engine and es- cape on it. Thisapparently explains their run to the Missouri pacific station, where Black was killed before they came to an engine. Raymond declared that he never knew of the fire arms until the time came for the carving out of the plot when Vaughan took the oth- CT convicts to the sole leather room of the factory and shwed them the pistf and ammunition. Vaughan had kept these hidden all the time
 Vaughan refused to make any state ment. Ryan told Attorney General Hadley that supplies might have been brought into prison by freight or bv express with goods brought into the prison, but like Raymond. he denied any knowledge of where they came from.
