TO.DAY'S INSTALLMENT.
Sixteenth Chapter-Continued

A. the station of our village my
4,ther's carriage was waiting for us,
and q strange footman shrugged his
sho,,Iders in answer to some whis-
nsred question of Father Dams, and
from that I gathered that my
mothers condition was unchanged.
We reached home at dusk. just as
somebody was lighting a line of new
A1artric lamps that had been set up
IN the drive to show the way for
the carriage under the chestnuts in
which the rocks used to build and
cav.
knew the turn of the path from
which the house could be first seen,
and looked for it, remembering the
last glimpse I had of my mother at
her window. Father Dan looked, too,
but for another reason-to see If the
blinds were down.
Aunt Bridget was IN the hall, and
when Father Dan, who had grown
more and more excited as we ap-
preached the end of our Journey,
asked now my mother was now, poor
thing. she answered:
Worse; distinctly worse; past
recognizing anybody; so all this trou-
bic and expense has been wasted"
As she had barely recognized me
I ran upstairs with a timid and quiet
step and without waiting 10 take off
my outer clothes made my way to
my mothers bedroom.
I remember the heavy atmosphere
Of the room as I opened the door.
! remember the sense I had of its
being lower and smaller than l
thought l remember the black four
foot bedstead with the rosary hang
ing on a brass nail at the pillow end.
remember my little cot which still
stood in the same place, and con-
tanned some of the clothes l had worn
as a child, and even some of the toys
had played with.
"Mally Veen!"
A strange woman, in the costume
Of nurse turned to look at me as
! entered but l did not at first see
my mother, and when at length 1 did
see her, with her eyes closed. she
looked so white and small as to be
almost hidden in the big white bed.
Presently Father Dan came in, fol-
lowed by Doctor Conrad and Aunt
Bridget, and finally my father, who
was in his shirt sleeves and had a
pen In his ear, remember.
Then Father Dan, who was trem-
bling very much, took me by the hand
and led me to my mothers side,
where STOPPING over her, and making
his voice very low, yet speaking as
one who was calling into a long tun-
mel, he said.
Ny daughterl My daughter. Here
Is our little Mary. She has come
nome to see you,"
Never shan forget what followed.
flrst' my mothers long lashes parted
ana she looked at me with dazed
expression as If still in a sort of
cream Then her big eyes began to
oaEe Ike torches in dark hollows,
ana then Though they had thought
uer strength was gone and her voice
would never be heard AGAIN. she

raised herself in her bed, stretched
out her arms to me, and cried in
loud strong tones:
"Mally veen! My Mally veen."
How long l lay with my arms about
my mother, and my mothers arms
about me do not know. l only know
that over my head l heard Father
Dan saying, as If speaking to a child:
You are happy now, are you not?'
Yes, yes, I am happy now" my
mother answered.
You have everything you want?'
'Everything-ever
Then came my fathers voice, say
, ing:
We'll, you've got your girl, Isabel.
You wanted her. so we sent for her,
and here she Is"
You have been very good to me,
Daniel said my mother, who was
kissing my forehead and crying in
her Joy.
When I raised my head, I found
Father Dan in great excitement.
Did you see that them" he was
saying to DIR. Conrad 81 would have
gone on my knees all the way to
Blackwater to see it,
'I couldn't have believed 1t posi-
ble,' the doctor replied.
"Ah, what children we are, entire
ly. God confounds all our reckoning.
We can't count with His miracles
And the greatest of all miracles is a
mothers love for her child"

A Mothers Love.


Let us leave her now, though"
said the doctor. shes like herself
again, but still -
Yes, let us leave them together"
whispered Father Dan, and, having
swept everybody out before him q
thought Aunt Bridget went away
ashamed) he stepped off himself on
tiptoe, as II treading on holy ground.
Then my mother, who was holding
my hand and sometimes putting 1t to
her lips, said;
Tell me everything that has hap
pened,"
AS soon as my little tongue was
loosed | told her all about my life at
the convent; about the Reverend
and the girls (all except Sister An
gela and Alma) and the singing of
the hymn to the Virgin-talking on
and on and on, without observing
that, after a while, my mothers eyes
had closed again, and that her hand
had become cold and moist.
At length she said: rs 1t getting
dark, Nary"
I told her It was night and the
lamp was burning.
rs 1t going out, them" she asked,
and when answered that It was not
she did not seem to hear. so I stopped
talking, and for some time there was
silence in which l heard nothing but
the ticking of the clock on the man
telpiece, the barking of a sheep dog a
long way off, and the husky breath
ing in my mothers throat.
was beginning to be afraid when
the nurse returned. She was going to
speak quite cheerfully. but after a
glance at my mother she went out
quickly and came back in a moment
with Dr. Conrad and Father Dan.
I heard the doctor say something
about a change, whereupon Father
Dan hurried away. and in a moment
there was much confusion. The
nurse spoke of taking me to another
room, but the doctor said;
NO, our little woman will be
brave" and then. leading me aside,
he whispered that God was sending
for my mother, and I must be quiet
and not cry.

Witnesses In
Damage Case

Several residents of Mcintosh
were called to Minneapolis last
week as witnesses in $50, 600
damage suit against the Milwaukee
railroad. The suit was brought
by Patrick Mcdonald, who was
employed in the company yards
at Mcintosh about three years ago,
as car clerk. One evening while
riding on a switch engine, which
was bumped into by an east bound
freight, the switch engine was
thrown from the track and Me-
Donald fell in between the engine
and tender. One of his legs was
badly mangled and his head cut in
several places. The company made
settlement with him at the time
for $500, but he claims that he
didn't know what he was dong at
the time and has now brought suit
for sixty thousand.
