other sehurches were poaring in
from every direction. l think not
less than 1900. The 7th chapter
of Job was read. text Job 14th,
job goth, 23rd, Luke 10th, 18th.
Revs. Peterson, Blocker, Oliphant,
Weaver, Kanner and others. These
servants of God leave q lasting inn
preston on their hearers for hon.
est living and truthfulnes. Many
tears were shed in the church and
in the yard when the body was
given over to the Rurying Society

mouth they began to bleed and sup
purate, as did also his eyes. Hands,
arms, chest and back, In short the
whole body was covered over and

Whenever he was laid In his bed. we
had to pin his hands down; otherwise
he would scratch his face and make
an open sore. l think his face must
have itched most fearfully.

CHAPTER VIII.

SOME LIGHT WITH A FEW SIDE
LIGHTS.
The real spring comes in New
York when laundering nature has
painted the outer wilderness for au-
tumn. What is called spring" in the
city by unrefecting users of the word
is tame, insipid season yawning into
not more than half-wakefulness at
best. The trees in the gas-poisoned
soil are slow in their greening, the
grass has but pallid city vitality, and
the rows of gaudy tulips set out primly
about the fountains in the squares are
palpably forced and alien.
For the sumptuous blending and
flaunt of color, the spontaneous awak-
ening of warm, throbbing new life, and
all those inspiring miracles of regen-
Grafton which are performed elsewhere
in April and May, the city-pent must
wait until mid-October.
But spring is not all of life, nor what
at once chiefly concerns us. There are
people to be noted; little series of
more or less related phenomena to be
observed.
One of the people, a young man,
stands conveniently before a florists
window, at that hour when the sun
briefly fiushes this narrow canyon Of
Broadway from wall to wall.
He had loitered along the lively high
way an hour or more, his nerves tin
Cling responsibility TO all its stimuli
And now he unused as he stared at the
tangled tracery of ferns against the
high bank of wine-red autumn foliage,
the royal cluster of white chrysanthe-
NUNS and the big jar of American
Beauties.
He had looked forward to this mo-
ment, too-when he should enter that
same door and order at least an arm
full of those same naughty roses sent
to an address his memory cherished
Yet now, the time having come, the
zest for the feat was gone. 1t would
be done; 1t were ungraceful not to do
it, after certain expressions; but it
woyld be done with no heart because
of the certain knowledge that no one
lat least no one to be desired--could
possibly care for him. or consider him
even with interest for anything but
his money-the same kind of money
Higbee made by purveying hams
land she wouldn't care in the least
whether II was mine or Higbee's, so
there was lot of it."
