into the bed. Slowly a numbing terror
seized her. but she conquered 1t oy sheer
force of will. Life held SO little for her
now that the greatest happiness 1t could
offer had been torn from her. There
remained but one thing-and she would
meet II bravely.
She started at every creak and groan
that issued from the crevices of the cabin
as the wind whined through 1t. Again
terror seized her. but she remembered
her father, the minuteman, who had
given his life at Lexington. and she re-
membered the great host Of others who
had sacrificed their lives for freedom
She shivered, but tried to convince her
self the sacrifice was small A blow
dealt in the dark. and all would be over
Life had been sweet to her once, but
now she had nothing more to live for.
She heard footsteps, sly, furtive foot
steps She crept to the farther side Of
the bed and pressed the cover against
her eyes. Minutes that seemed long as
centuries whirled past. She shivered.
She was young. and she had loved life,
but she would do lido 1t gladly.
The door was open and shadowy
figure stepped across the floor to the
bed. She felt the presence OF Francis,
though all that she saw was dark
form STOPPING over her. She could feel
his hot breath, she could almost hear
the fierce pounding of his heart.
The supreme test had come, but she
felt no more fear. Her senses had been
mercifully dulled. and she only ex-
perienced an expectant languor, knowing
vaguely that something was to happen
that would take her away into the ever
lasting night.
The man raised his arm and something
a L., II 10 at,I hn oh hrf nVnC
and waited.
She recovered consciousness as the
shouts of soldiers dinned in her cars.
She tried to move. but an overpowering
weakness chained her. Her glance fitted
down a crimson stream that had stained
the bed clothing. and then she heard
again the shouts of the soldiers. II she
were to die. she must see once more the
flag she loved. and the uniforms. and
hear the trumpet blasts.
She crawIed from her bed. Every
movement inflicted intense agony. but
by supreme efforts she conquered her
weakness and crept out on the balcony.
The Continentals had drawn up before
the inn. and Francis, tossing his head
haughtily. stood facing the colonel.
You are too late," she heard him cry.
Your commander lies dead upstairs"
Betty smiled family. and at the same
moment dcafening hurrahs burst upon
her ears. Washington had stepped from
the inn, and the soldiers were saluting
the great commander. She tried to join
in the shouts, but her tongue would not
obey her will. People were approaching
The world grew dark. and her closing
eyes caught a vision of a tattered flag
that was being wound about her.

BURLEsoN EXPLAINS DEFICIT.
So Far This Year Less
Than I'm 1912, He Says.

The attention Of Postmaster General
Burleson yesterday was called to the
published statement that the audited ex-
penditures of the postal service for the
quarter ending September 30. 1913, ex-
ceeded the audited revenues by ~
735. .4136I
THAT Is true" said the Postmaster
General. 'but II should also be stated
that the deficiency for that quarter is
s, ,3l3, 991.9 30 less than the deficiency for
the corresponding quarter for 1872
THE first quarter Of any fiscal year Is
always lean quarter" in so far as pos
tai revenues are concerned. whereas the
expenditures are evenly distributed
among the four quarters of the year. IL
is therefore a matter of congratulation
that the deficiency for the first quarter
OF the present fiscal year is so much less
than last year and for a number Of years
past"

Upton SinClairS Virile Novel Wis., ulized By All-Star Feature
 Corporation.

Those who miss seeing the motion picture production of Upton Sinclairs virile novel "The Jungle" which is booked for showing at the Royal thea Ire tomorrow will have cause for re- gret
 An all-star cast was especially en- gagged by the producers under the di- rection of Augustus Thomas. George Henry Irving and John II. Pratt to visualize this great novel.
 Owing to the fact that "The Jun. gle' enjoys a worldwide recognition and has been read by a majority of the people Of this country and Flu rope, a description of the plot seems almost superfluous.
 This great story in book form en- joys the unprecedented distinction of having been translated and printed in seventeen different languages. in each of which 1t had a record sale.
 The eminent character actor. Geo Nash. and superior cast of alI-star Broadway favorites. including Gail Kane, take the principal parts in this great production which is in five parts.
 Mir Sinclair. the author. appears in the production and is easily recog nized in several scenes.

Andy Noonan Under lhe lnilu.

Tbe bir murder mystery of yasiar d0y afternoon. woven around tho death Of Andy Neman carly yealor day morning on Nac0 Hoad. potered .0ut ln an ordinary cor0n0rs inquest lt was proven after mass of fost. .mony was taken. Chat Neonan met hls death as the result of being hit by the o'clock Warren bound car at a point on Naco Road iust east Of Che bridge between Johnson Addition and Lowell.
 From an evidenco adduced at the inquest. Neonan was undoubtedly drunk Nels Nystrom. who operates the Beer Garden in the Addition. and for whom Neonan worked as a DOT ter testified that the latter left his place about two-thirty. and that he followed soon afterward on his way home Nystrom testified that he en- deavored 70 put his porter to bed. He was unsuccessful in this and fin- ally left for his home in Lowell ] The last he saw of Neonan was when the man drunkenly followed him down the street in Johnson Addition.
 The car that struck Neonan was manned by W. g. Ward. motorman. and Roy Callison, conductor. At five l o'clock in the morning it is stil quite dark and the accident occurred at a curve. Just east of the bridge in ] Johnson Addition there is a consider able curve In swinging around this curve the headlight of the car does not come upon the track for a num- Der of feet When the light finally found its way on the track, the pros trate body of Neonan was seen. The cars emergency brake was tried but the distanre was too short to stop
 Neonan was lying within the track. on the north edge. and parallel to the track. The truck of the car struck him fin the head It was clearly shown, at the inquest, that the blow received when the trucks hit Neonan were responsible for his death. The carmen hurried the man to the hos pital but it was too late
 Neonan was a Finlander He had
 been employed at the Beer Garden for some time in the capacity of DOT
 ter. He has been a resident of the district a matter of one year. coming
 here, it is thought, direct from Fin. land A letter in one of the deceased pockets, mailed at Kankascammilla Finland, established the fact that
 Neonan leaves a widow. It. is not
 known whether he has any children
 or other relatives.
 A pecuiarity of the case was the
 finding, on Neonan's person, of a . Copper Queen Consolidated Minina . Company's metal time check. The . number of the check was POST. and it was the same time check undel which Leopold p. Pavlicich was work - ing at the Gardner shaft when tho latter was killed there, October % It. could not be determined wher,
 Neonan secured the check.
 Neonan has practically no friends , in the district or in the country. N, g trace of any property belonging t,
