The Minister'S Wife
CHAPTER v11-(Continued)
BY MRS. HENRY WOOD

CHAPTER VII-(Continued)
Later In the day she seemed little
better; It was the rallying Of the spirit
before departure. She knew 1t was de-
eeitful strength, but it put hope into the
heart Of Mr.. BaumGarten.
RYE, II he should live, you win al
ways be kind to him1''
Edith Kind to him Oh, my wife,
my wife," he uttered, with a burst of
Erspressible emotion, "yOu must not go,
and leave him and me-"
She waited until he was ealmsr she
was far more collected than he.
You will love himr she reiterated,
family; you will always protect him
against the worlds unkindneRsT
"Ay; that swear to yOu," he ardently
replied And Edith Baumgarten breathed
a sigh of relief, and quietly lay back upon
her pillow.
Her voice, hardly to be heard at all,
was growing fainter and fainter. Her
husband thought 1t must be the faintness
attendant on death but for. a short time
she seemed to sleep.
He sat on his arm beneath her neck,
his other hand held one Of her hands. All
was still; so still that the ticking Of
Edith's watch, lying on the dressing ia
bic, was audible. About ten minutes had
thus passed when a slight cry from the
infant in the next room, followed by the
soothing hush of the nurse, fell upon Mr..
BSumgarten's ear.
'Ryle! Rye !"
My dearT' he breathed, vexed that her
sleep should have been disturbed.
II have been In that dream again
going on my long, long journey" she said
In disjOinted syllables. ''Oh, Ryle, know
It now; 1t is the journey of death"
MY dear wife! I" he cried, much dis
tresssd.
The air iS--Oh, SO sweet-and the light
at the far end so bright and lovely-and
the hOwsrs-look at the flowers they are
the hOwers Of Heaven And-and-Oh,
look look"
The tone, growing inaudible, had taken
glad sound of ecstasy; and with the
last word, the spirit passed away.
After the funeral of Mrs. BaumRartan
the parish hockOd to Wilton Cottage to
cOndOlO with their rector, and to see the
baby. He received them with quiet cour-
tesy, but the most sangulne sympathiBers
could not detect any encouragement for
a renewal Of the visit. All that could
make life pleasant to Mr. BaumFartsn
was a. yOt buried In thS grave Of Edith.
Gradually he began TO take notice Of
the child; At hrst he had avoided him.
The old servant, Dlnah, who had lived
with the Danes Cor years, took charge Of
him. M. BaumgartOn would sometimes
have him On his knee now, and soon loved
him win an imprisoned fondness He
had nothing else to love.
Thus ths months Slidsd Ga to winter !;
the rector fulfilling all his duties a. o.
yOFe, but leading q very lonely life.

Acting Secretary Oliver Wants 10
Make Life Of Soldier Attractive.
BETTER RA7IoHs TO Be GIVEN OUT
War Department, to Attract Enlist
.ments, Endeavors to Make the Ser.
vice More Attractive-cuts Out Post
Drudsery.

WASHINGTON ID. c., Oct 81 =
Acting Secretary Oliver of the War
Department, has determined upon re-
forms III the army in order to make
things more attractive for the enlisted
men. Congress will be asked for more
money for the men. but the War De-
paitment will endeavor to correct some
conditions causing complaints by ex-
erting executive authority.
One of the principal causes of dis
satisfaction among the men has been
the practice of issu ng toilet neces-
sites. prescribed by army regulations
and taking the cost from the enlisted
mans first months pay. This would
set him back Sc or 81. and it is be-
lieved TO be the reason that desertions
have been numerous among men who
have served only q month.
First Toilet Sets Free.
An order was issGed yesterday by
General Oliver providing that the sol
der shall rece We his first razor,
toothbrush. soap and similar articles
without cost to him. but that ihereaf
ter he must keep his toilet kit sup
piled. The average annual enlistments
arc about 10000 men. bu! I Is ecti-
mated that the change made will cost
the government only about 100000 a
year.
Another reform will provide that
the daily gymnastics shall he only 80
minutes. instead of an hour and that
they shall be fixed at time other
than immed ately following drill duty.
The weekly marches also have been
ordered dispensed with, and hereafter
the men will take their hike once
4 month only.
Plans Relief From Drudqery.
General Oliver intends also to limit
the character of work that must be
done around army posts by the en-
stod men. AT some of the posts where
tho grounds are extensive these tasks
have grown enormously, and it is
not all of n character that it is said
should be done by the soldiers. 10
put an end to this Will require an
Appropriation in order to have the work
done by civilian labf'
Still another recommendation that
will lie made will be in the nature OF
improving the rat ons. There arc now
issued so grudgingly that by good
management the cooks make savings
and the company puartermastcr is able
10 turn these over for butter and
milk. which are not supplied to the
soldiers by the government General
divers plan IS to reduce the supply
of rations to the actual needs and
ladd butter and milk, so that all com
spanies will fare the same.
