Immediately immense crowds gath

All the saloons are closed today, and
only the best restaurants are per-
mitted to remain open. and even then
it is possible to get wine only with a
solid meal.
All the ferries have stopped running,
inc there is little communication be-
tween Stockholm and the suburbs
reached by water routes. This fact
will result in a further diminution Of
food supplies. For the present, all Is
quiet in the city, but trouble is ex-

LITERARY HEROISM

GONE of the worlds most valued literary
~ productions have been accomplished by
their authors under circumstances of pain and
hardship almost incredible.
Of the blind writer's one immediate thinks
of Milton, and of own Prescott, who
though not entirely blind was almost so, and
performed prodigies in the way of historical
composition while handicapped in a way cal
culated to dishearten the bravest.
Another great historian, John Richard Green,
did his work in the midst of a hard battle
against disease and pain. In 1869, when he
was finally Frustrated by the disease that had
taken hold many years before, the doctors gave
him no hope of living more than six months
longer Nevertheless, Green set bout the task
of writing his "Short History of the English
People, task that he trlumphantly carried
to conclusion, notwiths tanding racking pains.
We are assured on excellent authority that
Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote the greater
number of her fine poems confined to a dark
ened room, to which, by reason of her lntlrml
ties, only her own family and most intimate
friends could be admitted while she was in
great weakness and almost continuous pain
Another brave struggle that of the poet
Heine. The last seven years of the German
thinkers life were spent on what has been
termed his mattress grave, in such pain and
suffering that he was obliged to consume doses
of opium in quantity sufficient to have killed
several men. Yet Heine not only endured all
this with resignation and even cheerfulness.

and Thought" and his Confessions.
To the list of literary heroes must be added
the name of Scott. Sir Walters manly fight
against failing health and financial misfortune,
during the closing years of his life, is too we'll
known to need more than passing mention
When the commercial reverses came that left
him staggering under huge burden of debt,

with wearied eyes and worn brain" F." to recoup.
Painfully he toed, sometimes as many as
fourteen hours day, until the end came; but

from the ropes and was hanging stiff1y down.
He was still alive, his terror stricken eyes fas-
tened on mine
A ND then occurred one of those flashes of
thought that come to man with the Won

terror in Captain Kufe's eyes was not born of
his nearness to death. Villain as he was, he

But the moment touched him Captain Rufe
broke the silence with shrek, such as a wo-
man may give forth. His terror crazed eyes
burned into mine. And before l could realize
his mad intention, he tore his arm loose of my
grip upon it, pushing me violently from him
with the other hand thrust in my face, and
tumbling backward, quenched his fear forever
in the storm lashed and frozen waters.
