had even been overhowing with life
and health.
Fear drove tie blood through her
veins like a torrent. 1t came upon
her like a flash: "The dog, he bit
me!"
She looked at her hand. The little
mark showed dark red Choking with
fright she made some laughing en-
cuse to visit her uncle. DIR. Curtin
When she explained her symptoms to
him, he looked grave, but he tried to
assure her that there was no cause
for alarm, and told her to go home
again.
From that moment Miss Curtin felt
confident in her own mind that she
was doomed, but never word of her
fears did she utter at home. Her
mother was nervous. and she thought
that it would worry her into a serious
illness If she knew, and then-per-
haps-perhaps it might not come.
Goes Into Spnsms at Water.
If she had only gone to the Pasteur
Institute as soon as she got the
scratch, or even when the dog was
killed, they might have saved her life.
Now, all the learned seers of medi-
cine in the world could not delay by
one hour or one minute the thing that
was gripping her in a wise of iron.
Every moment that feeling of nervous
dread increased; every moment it was
harder to laugh and joke with her sis
ter, play with her brothers and talk
idle nonsense with her mother.
BY Saturday she could no longer
conceal the fact that she was ill., She
asked for a glass of water and when
it was brought to her she went into
spasms. DR.. Curtin was sent for in
great haste. He knew what had hap
pened and brought DR.. Robinson with
him. From that time on the doctors
were with her constantly. In one OF
the intervals of relaxation which were
becoming fewer and shorter all the
time. Miss Curtin asked to see several
of her girl friends that she might say
goodbye to them. They were brought
in sobbing and she spoke to them as
quietly as though she were about to
go away on a little journey of no mo-
ment. While they were there the con-
vulsions came again.
Monday night, the doctors-there
were now four of them in attendance
told Miss Curtin that if she wished
it they would administer ether to her
to deaden her pain. At first she said
she preferred to die with all her wits
about her, even though she had to en-
dure the tortures of hydrophobia, but
after a particularly violent paroxysm,
she said she would take ether.
1t was her wish also to say farewell
to her family and have them leave the
room. She was suffering enough for
all of them, she said. and she thought
that they ought not to endure the
sight of her death.

LABOR BODIES MAY MERGE.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 27-The flu
ture of the Amalgamated Woodwork
ers, long an important factor in the
world of organized labor. is to be de-
termined at a conference which will
begin in this city tomorrow. The con
ference will be between representa-
tives of the carpenters and the wood
workers, and it is regarded as likely
that the result will be the absorption
of the woodworking members by the
carpenters, and the passing out of ex-
istence of the woodworkers' organiza-
ton. The conference is the result of
an agreement reached at the last con-
vention of the American Federation of
Labor, and marks possibly the end of
controversy that has been fought
through many conventions and has
long stood as one of the chief juris-
diction contests that has retarded the
organized labor movement

But even so, these distressful years
of his married life We're the years of
Mozart's greatest and most prolific

ever, was rapidly drawing near. He
had produced his three great operate
masterpieces THE Marriage of Figa-'

Flute" the works by which he proved
himself the greatest master of opera
tic art the world has ever known. He
had produced also his three great
symphony masterpieces-the e fiat

or "Jupiter"-the works by which he
made himself in the worlds regard the
true successor of Haydn and the only
equal of Beethoven.
