Threnodora seated herself at his side, while Mrs.
Whitney drew a chair for Austin. Then she
crouched at the foot of the bed eagerly drinking
in every word of the conversation that followed.
miss Reynolds" the boy began, mamma tells
me that you are not afraid of death. Do you be-
lieve there is any chance for a poor fellow like
me?"
Tell me what it is you afraid Of, Threno-
dora said, pressing the fevered hand more closely.
"Well, | used to go to Sunday school when I
was a little chap" he answered dryy, 'and my
teacher told us about the fire and sulphur and the
eternal torment that God had prepared for the
wicked But she said we could escape all this and
go to heaven where would wear crown and
play on a harp, if would only confess Christ.
In the first place, l don't think it would be much
fun to go someplace away off in the air and play

"He is the boy who killed his father the
seventeenth of March, and he is still awaiting
trial." his companion returned.
Austin started. Seventeenth of March," he
exclaimed. "Why Threnodora, that must be-Yes,
it must be-"
Must be what?" she asked, looking earnestly
up into his face.
THAT must be the boy who was in the cell next
to us, that dreadful night" he whispered. 1t
the first time he had referred to his nightmare
experience.
"Yes Dr. Ben told me he had seen this poor
boy, the morning he went down to the hold-over
for you and Frank I am sure it is the same one"
Austin sat quite still for minutes. Then
he said slowly:
"Threnodora, will you let me go with you?
promise to keep very quiet but want to see that
boy"
"Of course, Austin am willing you should go
up with me. Indeed would feel better to have
you there than to know that you were waiting
down on the street | know how miserably time
drags when one is waiting, and my mind would
not be at ease if felt that you were growing impa
tient l feel that | must give myself wholly to
that boy while am with him. DR.. Ben says his
hours are numbered, and the thought of death
fills him with terror"
"Threnodora, where did you learn the mysteries
of life and death?' Austin asked regarding her
with a species of awe. Most people cling to this
life because they see it and feel it. Beyond
this lies the great unknown, and they clutch their
present miseries rather than Fly to others that
they know not Of To your mind the realm beyond
the grave is tangible Russia is to me. You
have never been there, but you know all about it."
II don't know, Austin" the girl said thought
fully when l a child, my mother used to
come to me in the night and tell me the strangest
things. 1t may have been only my childish fancy;
but I then it my mother. God has
thousand voices with which He speaks to all who
willing to hear"
So they unused and reflected until the hospital
reached Slowly up the stairs the two climbed,
for Austin still very weak and little pauses
for breath had to be made at frequent intervals.
Mrs. Whitney, pale and broken with grief, came
forward to meet them.
"Oh Miss Reynold" she cried Cant you do
something for my darling boy? So many have
told of your wonderful ministry and you have
to be my only hope My precious boy is
dying. You cannot him. No power
him, and l would not ask that his life be
spared, for it could bring him nothing but heart
ache and wretchedness; but | wish death could
be robbed of it's terror He knows that he must
die and he is terribly afraid He plies me with
all sorts of questions that I cannot answer. We
were not praying family and we had no patience
with creeds and churches Now l begin to realize
that there is something in it after ALL"
Threnodora took the unhappy womans hand and
together they approached the low couch where the
sick boy lay. One wasted hand toyed nervously
with the white sheet, and his shining chestnut
curs were matted above the fevered brow.
81 don't cough much now, Miss Reynolds" he
said family "but they say that if have one more
hemorrhage it will be all up with me-"

know how to confess Christ l asked my father
about it and he said it was all nonsense; that
there wasn't any heaven nor any hell nor any God,
and that when die are put into the gronud

now am sure he was wrong. When l think of
that place where grinning devils torture fellow,
grow sick with fear Mamma says that if there
is a Cod she does not believe He would take de-
light in torturing fellow; but she does not

nodora asked

The weeks that had passed had been full of
anxious watching and patient suffering for those
two. The battle between the arrayed hosts of
Life and Death had been fercey waged, and in the
end Life had gained feeble victory.
Austin's face white and thin and his blue
eyes seemed almost lost to view beneath their
projecting brows; while on the cheek of his
panion there lay the ashen paor that Care leaves
as her indisputabe stamp. Sleep had come sell
dom to Threnodoras pillow of late, for the Curse
rarely left her hands. The sick and dying In the
charity wards of the hospitals had come to regard
her as a veritable angel of mercy The power
to disease of which Chriskios had spoken
had never been hers; but over pain she exercised
a spell of magic Tenderly she had smoothed the
brow of the dying while she painted, in radiant
colors the wonder-country to which Death throws
wide the door. For the wretched the
white cots at the City Hospital she could ask the
sweet boon of death; but with Austin it not
so. Bindly, incoherenty she had prayed that
little span be left to him. She knew not why, for
life had brought him little satisfaction; yet Austin
must live And the wavering fame, thin so
faint that breath might have blown 1t out, tena
ciously held its own until the crisis past.
At length the doctor had deemed it safe for him
to try the sweet May air Two glorious afternoons
had been spent beneath the fragrant shadows of
Forest Park. Never had the world looked so beau
tifu to him; never had the air seemed so sweet
But the change that presented itself to his eye
only the result, the outward expression of the
change that had been wrought within his own
soul. His whole attitude was that of pensioner
on Gods mercy. In all his past life he could find
no cause for the blessings that had been lavished
upon him. Gods wondrous goodness was the con-
slant theme of his meditation, and the paramount
expression of that goodness he found in the pale
girl at his side. He longed to tell her of the
depth and tenderness of his love for her; but he
felt his unworthiness and silent Life to
him would be nothing without her. With her it
might be everything; but the thought of offering
her his pitiful weakness made him shrink back in
humility and establishment.
1T is so early" Threnodora began she gather
ed up the lines and touched her docile pony with
the silken end of the whip, eff you don't mind we
will drive around by the City Hospital. DR.. Arno
promised Mrs. Whitney that would come to-day
to see her son. The poor boy is dying of quick
sumption and he has recently been removed from
the city prison.
little visible tremor passed over Austin's
frame at the mention of that loathsome place.
Poor fellow" he muttered half aloud, "how
long has he been there?"

OY, uncertain April had spent her
self in a succession of smiles and
tears. and lovely May was already

The Widows, Pension Bill.

Jacob Odell, Sulphur, Okla, thinks
that there never was a more righteous
bill introduced and passed than the
widows pension bill. He is living with
the wife that he married in 1860, and
whom he left TO cross. the Cumberland
Mountains and enlist in the Union army.
He did not see any of his folks for 1S
months. He is now 20 years old and
hardly able to get around.
e. A. Baldwin, 125th N. Y, Clifty,
Ark, thanks The National Tribune for
the stand it is taking in regard to the
veterans and their widows, particularly
as to those who married after 1890.
NJ. D. Goldsby, Tullahoma, Tenn,
wishes to thank us for all that we have
said in the Open Letters and elsewhere,
which has been so effective. Only few
widows are now left under so years old,
and what would the old soldier do with
out his wife? Comrade Goldsby's is
past &c, and they were married Feb. IA.
1903, after he had raised family of
five children and had been widower
for IA years.
Comrade Rob't Dawson, Sarahsville,
O., was married in 1875, and therefore
the 1890 limit will not be of interest
to his widow as a personal matter, but
he opposes the limit on grounds of JUS
tice and reason. He thinks the House
should have accepted the Senate
amendments to the widows bill with
grace and not with contempt. He is
amazed by the attitude and action OF
Sulloway, but his amaZement at Mr..
Sulloway is the serenest of placidity as

to His Majesty's Ministers to find out
some method compelling them to do
it." When the AIexandrians heard of
this resolution they met in the court
house opposite the Carlyle House, and,
with George Washington in the chair,
resolved, THAT taxation and represen-
tation are in their nature inseparable."
The action of the six Governors was
received in like spirit by the Colonies,
and thus the Congress of Alexandria, as
the meeting in Mr.. Cariyles blue room
was known, contributed largely to the
growing discomfort which 20 years later
found expression in the Revolution. 1t
was also to the Carlyle House that
George Washington was summoned
from Mount Vernon by Braddock. who
offered him a commission as Major in
the British army, and it was in the Car
lyle House as well that Braddock's i'll
fated expedition against Fort Duquesne
was planned. There have been rumors
of the existence of bodies of Indians in
this old mansion, but the authenticity
of these legends has never been satis-
factorily established.

Isthmian Canal Commission, with head
quarters in Washington, issues from
time to time a periodical called the
Canal Record, which is sent the officials
of the Commission, whose names are
on the gold roll, and also to certain
public libraries. For any special in
formation you had better write to the
Commission, tho, of course, there are
published volumes on the subject which
can be bought thru book stores.

Keep the Balance Up.

1t has been truthfully said that any
disturbance of the even balance of
health causes serious trouble. Nobody
can be too careful to keep this balance
up. When people begin to lose appe-
tite or to get tired easily, the least i'm
prudence brings on sickness, weakness
or debility. The system needs tonic,
Graves it, and should not be denied it;
and the best tonic of which we have
any knowledge is Hoods Sarsaparilla.
What this medicine has done in keeping
healthy people healthy, in keeping up
the even balance of health, gives 1t the
same distinction as preventive that it
enjoys as a cure. Its early use has IL
lustrated the wisdom of the old saying
that stitch in time saves nine. Take
Hoods for appetite, strength and en-

PENSION POINTERS.
Inquiries Answered and Suggestions
Made.

Subscriber, Holcombe, Wis.-The
bounty act of July 20, 1861, provides
that men enlisted in the Regular Army
after July 1, 1861, are all entitled to
the same bounties in every respect as
men enrolled in the volunteer forces
under the act of July %, 1861. From
the dates of your enlistment and dis
charge you should be entitled to 800
bounty and the additional bounty under
the act of July 2s. 1866. or a total of
5000, if, as you state, no bounty was
received by you.

There is record of case of one Susan
Smith, who murdered her husband. She
was tried, convicted and sentenced to
imprisonment for life. After serving Il
years she was pardoned. She then ap-
piled for pension under the act of June
81, 1890, on account of the death of
her husband, and her claim was re-

death was caused by the claimants

fact that the applicants inability to

GOOD POETRY.
which Is the Bes. Selection.

Comrade i. w. Mouat, White Hills,
Ariz., somewhat resenting the implica-
ton put upon the constancy of the
Scotch poet, Robert Burns, in the sketch
of Whittier, published some weeks ago
in The National Tribune, wishes the
comrades to select from the following
verses the one which impresses them as
expressing the most sincerity of feeling
and the one which they think will live
longest, and indicate the same thru The
National Tribune:
"I hear again thy low replies,
1 feel thy arm within my own,
And timidly again uprise the fringed
lids of hazel eyes
With soft brown tresses overblown.
All. memories of sweet Summer ewes,
OF moonlight wave and willowy way,
OF stars and flowers and dewy leaves,
And smiles and tones more dear than
they"
Whittier.
"'Tis said with sorrow time may cope,
But this / fear can ne'er be true;
For with the deathblow of my hope,
MY memory immortal grew"
Byron.
"I do not think whereer thou art
Thou hast forgotten me.
And / will try to soothe this heart
! BY thinking, too, of thee.
Yet there was round thee such ray
OF light ne'er seen before,
AS fancy never could have drawn
And never can restore"
-Irland.
"Still DER these scenes my memory
wakes
And fondly broods with miser care;
Time but the impression deeper makes,
As streams their channels deeper
