Obituary.

"The good men do lives after them;
their frailties, should be buried with
them"
Thomas J. McKeehan, eldest son of
Edw. and Margaret McKeehan, was
born in the village OF Sinking Spring.
March 9th, 1881, and died at his home
in the same village Jan. %, 1907. Had
he remained with us a little longer he
would of attained the ripe age of IS
years.

Leila P. Belleson, are the surviving
children, Nellie G. and Mrs. Sylvia F.
Kennedy joined their mother in
heaven some years ago. Mr.. Nc
Keehan's second marriage took place
Sept. 16, 1884 at Sinking Spring when
he was united to Josie Patton by Rev.
j. @. Wells, now, after two years of
devoted nursing and tender care, this
faithful wife Is left with the children
and seven grand children to mourn
the loss of kind husband and father.
In the fall of 1854, T. ]. McKeehan
enlisted in Co. B IT'S Regiment Ohio

l~zl HID letter through which the
III blow fell was not vo1ulninous.
III 1t was written on cheap paper
in a disguised hand, and the
contents covered only half page.

down, and as he did he caught Ewes
eyes raised in concern. Again he saw
something of his own feelings reflected
In her face and the shock braced him.
He picked up the letter, tearing it into
strips.

something, to move, if only across the
room.
Ewes glance followed him. rs it

CHAPTER XIII.

IND Loder dined with Lillian
Astrupp. We live in an age
I'M when society expects, even ex-
acts, much. He dined, not
through braVado and not through cow
ardice, but because it seemed the OBJ
vious, the only thing to do. To him a
scene of any description was distaste-
full. To Lillian it was unknown. In
her world people loved or hated, were
spiteful or foolish, were even quixotic
or dishonorable, but they seldom made
scenes. Loder tacitly saw and tacitly
accepted this.
Possibly they ate extremely little
during the course of the dinner and
talked extraordinarily much on sub
iects that interested neither, but the
main point at least was gained. They
dined. The conventionalities were ap-
peased. The silent, watchful servants
who waited on them were given no
food for comment The fact that Lo-
der left Immediately after dinner, the
fact that he paused on the doorstep
after the hall door had closed behind
him and drew a long, deep breath of
relief, held only an individual signifi-
canoe and therefore did not count.
On reaching Chilcote's house he pass
ed at once to the study and dismissed
Greening for the night. But scarcely
had he taken advantage of his solitude
by settling into an armchair and light
ing a cigar than Renwick. displaying
an unusual amount of haste and i'm
portance, entered the room, carrying
letter.
Seeing Loder, he came forward at
once. 'sMr. Fraide's man brought this,
SIR" he explained "He was most par
ticular to give it into my hands, max
ing sure 'twould reach you. He's wait
ing for an answer, sir"
Loder rose and took the letter, a
quick thrill of speculation and interest
springing across his mind. During his
dime of Punishment he had followed
the political situation with feverish at
tention, unexpectedly chafed by the
desire to share in it, apprehensively
chilled at the thought of Chilcote's pos
sibIe behavior. He knew that in the
comparatively short interval since par
Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1907-02-21

tabloids he paused and glanced once
more toward the bed. How many?'
he said laconically.
Chilcote lifted his head. His face was
pitiably drawn, but the feverish bright
ness in his eyes had increased. Five, ;"
he said sharply give. Do you hear,
Loder?"
give" Involuntarily Loder lowered
the hand that held the tube. From pre-
vious condolences of Chilcote's he knew
the amount of morphia contained in
each tabloid and realized that five tab
loids, If not an absolutely dangerous
was at least an excessive dose, even
| for one accustomed to the drug. For
moment his resolution failed. Then the
dominant note of his nature-the I'M
conscious, fundamental egotism on
which his character was based-assert-
ed itself beyond denial. 1t might be
reprehensible, it might even be crimi-
nal to accede to such a request made
by man in such a condition of body
and mind; yet the laws Of the universe
demanded self assertion prompted ev-
cry human mind to desire, to grasp and
to hold. With a perception swifter than
any he had experienced he realized the
certain respite to be gained by yielding
to his impulse. He looked at Chilcote
with his haggard, anxious expression,
his eager, restless eyes, and vision OF
himself followed sharp upon his glance.
A vision Of the untiring labor Of the
past ten days. OF the slowly kindling
ambition, Of the supremacy all but
gained. Then, as the picture completed
itself. he lifted his hand with an abb
rupt movement and dropped the five
tabIoids one after another into the
glass

lament had risen no act of aggression
had marked the Russian occupation of
Meshed, but he also knew that Fraide
and his followers looked askance at
that great powers amiable attitude,
and at sight of his leaders message his
Intuition stirred.
Turning to the nearest lamp, he tore
the envelope open and scanned the let
ter anxiously. 1t was written in
Fraides own clear, somewhat old fash
toned writing and opened with kind
" rebulxe for his desertion of him Hincs
tie day of his speech; then Immediate
~ and with characteristic clearness 1t
opened up the subject nearest the writ
er's mind.
Very slowly and attentively Loder
read the letter, and, with the extreme
quiet that with him invariably covered
emotion, he moved to the desk, wrote
a note and handed it to the waiting
servant. AS the man turned toward
the door he called him.
"Renwick,' he said sharply, when
you've given that letter to Mr.. Fraide's
servant ask Mrs Chilcote if she can
spare me five minutes"
When .Renwick had gone and closed
the door behind him Loder paced the
room with feverish activity. In one
moment the aspect of life had been
changed. Five minutes since he had
been gIorying in the risk of barely
saved situation; now that situation
with its merely social complications
had become matter Of small impor-
lance
His long, striding steps had carried
him to the fireplace, and his back was
toward the door when at last the
handle turned. He wheeled round TO
receive Ewes message, then a look OF
pleased surprise crossed his face.
1t was Eve herself who stood in the
doorway.
without hesitation his lips parted.
.sEve.s be said abruptly, Il have had
great news! Russia has shown her
teeth at last. Two caravans belong

interfered with by a band Of Cossacks.

about the room and settled on his
companions face Can you see it,,
Loder?' he cried. II can't; the lights
in my eyes Can you see It? Can you
see the tube?'' He lifted himself
higher, an agony Of apprehension in
his face
Loder pushed him back upon the
pillow. He was striving hard to keep
his own mind cool, to steer his own
course straight through the chaos that
confronted him. "Chilcote," he began
once more, you sent for me last night,
and came the first thing this morn
ing to tell you But there he stopped
short
With an excitement that lent him
strength, ChiIcote pushed aside his
hands. God" he said suddenly, "sup-
pose twas lost suppose twas gomez
The imaginary possibility gripped him.
He sat up, his face liyid, drops of
perspiration showing on his forehead,
his whole shattered system trembling
before his thought.
At the sight Loder set his lips. .'The
tube is on the mantelshelf," he said
in cold, abrupt voice.
+ A groan of relief fell from Chilcote,
and the muscles of his face relaxed
For moment he lay back with closed
eyes, then the desire that tortured him
stirred afresh. He lifted his eyelids
and looked at his companion. Hand
it to me" he said quickly. Give it to
me- Give it to me, Loder, quick as
you can! There's glass on the table
and some whisky and water. The
tabloids dissolve, you know In his
| new excitement he held out his hand.
But Loder stayed motionless. He
had come to fight, to demand, to plead,
if need be, for the one hour for which
he had liyed-the hour that was to
satisfy all labor, all endeavor, all am
bition. With logged persistence he
made one more essay.
"Chilcote, you wrote last night to re-
call me- Once again he paused,
checked by a new interruption. Sit
ting up again, Chilcote struck out sud
denly with his left hand in rush of
his old irritability.
Ill yOus uS CltCA ou0aChAJs
What are you talking about? Look
at me! Get me the stuff. tell you
| it's imperative" In his excitement his
breath failed, and he coughed. At the
effort his whole frame was shaken.
| Loder walked to the dressing table,
| then back to the bed. A deep agita-
ton was at work in his mind.
Again Chilcote's lips parted 10
DER he said faintly-"Loder | must
must have it. It's imperative" Once
more he attempted to lift himself, but
the effort was futile.
| Again Loder turned away.
'Loder'-
With fierce gesture the other turn
| ed on him Good heavens, mani" he
began. Then unaccountably his voice
| changed. The suggestion that had
| been lowering in his mind took sud
| den and definite shape. "All right!' he
| said in a lower voice. "All right!
Stay as you are.'
| He crossed to where the empty tum-
bier stood and hastily mixed the whis-
key and water, then crossing to the
mantelpiece where lay the small glass
| tube containing the tightly packed

Her eyes widened. 'sBut nobody does
business at in the morning she be-
gan in astonlshment, then she sudden
Iy broke off.
Without apology or farewell Loder
had left the fireplace and walked out
Of the room.
He passed through the hall hurried
", picking up a hat as he Went, and
