SENSATION AT DEATH IS TOLD
 BY DYING MAN
Physician Records the Unusual Happenings of Own Brother
 at the End.
FATIGUE MARKS PASSING

RICHMOND, Ind, Dec 16.-Detalls of what Indiana physicians say is one of the most remarkable cases on record will be given to the medical world by pr. David s. Harold. who maintains an office here and at In dianapolis, in treatise which will reproduce the dying sensations of his brother, Dr.. N c. Harold, a prominent Indianapolis physician, who died recently.
 Following an operation in the Mayo Hospital at Rochester Minn, Dr. IN. c. Harold died at Indianapolis. He diagnosed his own case four days before death and predicted the time of his demise.
 He told his brother, who sat at his bedside. what the symptoms were and described the sensations of a dying man. He expressed fear of the struggle accompanying the separ- ation of body and soul, but when the last minute arrived he informed his brother his fear was groundless and that the sensation was only one of fatigue After his death an ex- pert from New York made an autop- sy and found that the diagnosis of the ailment made by the physi. aian was correct in every detail.
 Physicians believe valuable scien. tific data will be obtained from the diagnosis and observations of death made by the dying physician on his into death.

These two spies will be brought here
to the dock just before the ship sails.
There is some confusion-but they get
aboard-they r hoisted from the
dock into the hold, where they will be
safe. Very good, the vessel sails. She
is at sea one day, two days. Then all
at once there is hue and cry-stowa-
ways discoyered-two of them. Very
we'll, that is all. They tell their story,
but the captain of the ship thinks
them to be ~stowaways, and nothing
else. They have the look Of such. AS
such they will be landed in due time
at New York. Their passage money
is paid not to the ship but to you
yourselves-more than you would
make for six months wages. And be.
sides that, you have done a good serv-
ice to our country. which is far more
friendly to your own, my hearties,
than that America to which these
spies must be deported. What say
you, then? 1t is a ~bargain?"
1t seemed that it was to be a bar

had proved successful. An instant ana
Roleau was past them, beyond the
door, and in the hall before their scat
tered senses had time to realize what
had happened.
AS he fed, Roleau had no plan be-
yond that of mere flight. But it
CHANGED that he reached the outer or
ridor just as Kitty's guards were
bringing her into it. He fell likewise
upon Kitty's guards with such des-
perate valor that before long they, too,
were scattered and helpless. A mo-
ment later Kitty and Roleau fed, seek
ing some exit from the palace walls.
The hue and cry followed them now.
Almost they had escaped, but not
quite. Even at the great door of the
palace itself they were apprehended
by yet other armed men. Once more
they were brought before the king.
so it seems we have two incor-
rigibles," commented that monarch
coldly as he faced Roleau and Kitty,
still painting. This man, as you
know, Sachio, is far more dangerous
than his accomplice here. She is dan
gerous, yes, in a way, but this man
has hesitated at nothing-not even
murder. What shall we do with him? 2"
Sachio stood also regarding the two.
I'll tell you, your majesty said he
at length, slowly, If you ask me my
W feeling in the matter. Let us
send them out of the country to-
gether. They have a way of gravitat-
ing together-let them go together to
that America of which they talk so
much. Let them find the protection
Of that Uncle Sam Of whom they
prate."
Away with them!' command Cort-
islaw, imperiously.
Sachio therefore now had his task.
But how to achieve it was his ques-
ton. He knew well enough he could
not oblige either Kitty or Roleau to
book passage across the ocean unless
they SO desired.
Attend to these two, lieutenant"
said he to the officer of the guard.
Keep them safe until l return"
He fastened now as rapidly as he
might to the water front, where at the
somewhat restricted docks Of Grahof-
fen an occasional ocean liner touched.

"You are very faithful, Sachio," said
Cortislaw. You are very faithful,

and stood defiant.
Count Sachio spoke for her. Il am

The door Of the great reception hall

once again in Grahoffen towers.

Cortislaw, turning at length to his Of

almost.ready to sail. Perhaps chance
would favor him.
He made his way across the crowded
docks to the gangWay of the steamer;
but he sought no converse with the
captain or the purser Of the ship. In
stead he beckoned to him one or two
deck stewards, whom he selected after
q quick look as countrymen Of a land
he knew.

when he had them aside. "As / fancy,
we are all interested In making money

A grin made the answer OF the two
sailors, who stood expecting some gra-
tuity.
The gratuity came-it fell into their
hands-in gold-and in large pieces!
They stood dumfounded and speech
less for the moment, but Sachio went
on:
Listen, men," said he. "There are

to our country. They are our pris-

than regular meetings. Then 1T is
planned to do a certain amount of pub
licity work in the county next year to
prepare for county organization. These
extended activities will require d
much larger budget than that of the
past five months. A committee Of wo-
men is at work this week raising this
budget of $1,20O.00. Besides the sal
airy Of the secretary for ten months
this will include funds for supporting
the activities of the town and college
girls and to establish and maintain
two Offices and to do considerable pub
licity work.
Before the actual work of soliciting
had begun over $500 had been secured,
this amount being in pledges Of $500

the amount needed and it is the earn

EXCELLENT START

The people of Brookings who are in.
terested In the work OF the Young Wo-
mems Christian Association In the
town and college were indeed for
tunate in having Miss Margaret O'Con-
nell in the city last week. Miss O'Con-
nell Is secretary for town and county
work for the North Central Field of
the Young Women's Christian Associa-
ton. She has been working in
FIVE states, North and South Dakota,
Iowa, Minnesota and Nebraska for
six years and was able to give a great
deal Of assistance to the leaders of
the work in Brookings.
Miss O'Connell spoke at the United
Presbyterian church Sunday morning,
April 80. the Y. NJ. c. A. of the college
having charge of the service in the
absence Of Rev. Hoffman. In the
evening she spoke at the college audi
forum to a union meeting of the
church. Miss O'Connell spoke of the
county and town plan of work of the
Young Women's Christian Association
In such a plan an empioEed secretary
for the county has her residence at
the county seat, with an Office in rooms
which may be used as rest rooms by
the women and girls of the county and
also as a meeting place for the var
ious groups Of girls in the town.
Branch work is carried on in the differ
emit towns and country districts in the
country through local leaders and I'M
der the supervision of the county Sec
rotary.
During the greater part of last week
Miss O'Connell consulted with men
and women of Brookings as to whether
this plan of work should be adopted
In Brookings county. The committee
OF town women finally decided to con-
tinue the present plan Of joint work of
the college and town for another year
at least, looking forward to the organ.

THE CROW'S-NEST

Just at the present time there are
persistent rumors Of peace negotia-
tons being attempted between the
warning nations Of Europe and it is
the opinion of many of the public men
in this and other countries that the
Great Wal is likely to cease as sudden
ly as it began. People are already be-
ginning to discuss the probable econ
omic effect that Is going to follow the
settlement Of the present war. James
j.. Hill said, in a recent interview,
Wages will come down, and painful
saving be the rigid law of life. The
man interested in this, above dill
others, is the working man. 1t is his
future that is threatened by peoples
and facts which are Indifferent to and
uncontrolled by our avs and look only
to self-preservation. His salvation lies
in securing continuous work. 1t de-
ponds upon the steady and willing pay
roll. The payroll exists only so long
as the capital from which it must be
furnished sees safe and reasonably
profitable opportunities for investment
in our domestic productive enter
prises.
Another financial writer predicts that
hundreds of thousands of our workers
are going to lose their jobs as soon as
peace is declared. These are mainly
the highly paid men. They must be
absorbed by industries hat are not de
pendent upon the wal to live and grow.
The demand will be for retrenchment
along all lines. This is the kind of
preparedness that Is, or will be, para
mount above all others for most people,
The man who is saving a part of his
earnings and is accommodating a bank
account for such a contingency is the
one who is acting the part of wisdom.
Even if the prophesied slump does not
come, a little ready money is always a
handy thing to have in ones posses
sion.
