I had laid for dayt that teemed year upon the rule of inch pain aaonly inmgmen, suddenly broken upon the wheel, may know. Every bone In my body, every nerve, every minute gland of corporeal theme hail been liko eloctria win- and evils surclutrgi-d with ethereal g"iiy. At last there had com a Ix nnniUtl feeling thut thrilled like tbs Tibration of hnrti strings suddenly stilled. 1 could hour the hum of voire like the far off drotio i f Us-, and the sound seemed Hoot hin ; me into a strange peace, I vroi aware that otnelody passed a light before my eye, and after repeating the action several time replaced tb night lamp on the itand without the sluide. I knewulsothatsotiicliodystcpped to the window and threw it whlo ocn, while a voice, seemingly borne beyond tho confine of space and gathering force a it approached the boundaries of auric ular demonstration until it boomed like the deep baa of the tea, ottered the words: "Tho oor fdlow is going fast. Give bin spirit a chance to free itself." "Do yon believe in that old woman rot?" nked another, and from tho re gion of enduuited drowsiness where I teemed to linger I caught myself listen init for the third voice, which 1 seemed to kuow wonld speak next. And I didn't listen iu vain, for even while 1 at rugged with the unseeirforee that were hurry ing mo nwny a woman'a voice, clear and tron.; and swivt aa the note of a bell that was forever ringing in my ear, mid: We lielieve in God' tuercy, and we believe that this poor pain racked body is about to throw open the door by which the spirit goe free; if a closed window hinder Its going, we will throw every window in tho old hospital as wide aa the sky." "And give the rest of the poor devila In t lie ward a chance to catch a mortal chill," responded thesecoud voice. "Yoa are as consistent aa the rest of your aez. Miss Brady." Whilo yet the echo of the head doctor's Toice beat tho air in circle of receding sound, I suddenly ceased to think, to hear, to feel, to be. And yet I was. 1 knew by some newly developed sense that I lay mute and whlto uon the cot which had supported my body so long, anil that the fragrance of a prayer floated through the awful stillness of tho room. 1 It had no form nor sound, and yet some thing within mo perceived it, as the lan guid senses perceive the fragrance of newly mown hay upon a serene June morning. A, continuous rwi'-feant of the most se raphic visioii unfurled in endless progre siou Ix'foro mo. I saw the green hills of my childhood's homo lift themselves like emerald bubbles in a haze of enchanted air. I saw tho sapphire of tho sea set in a rim of violet dawns and daffodil noons. 1 saw tho stretch of dntcrt sands like drifts of snow within tho compass of a lonely land. And in the midst of their bewildering vision I suddenly saw a gleaming slab within a window-lew room, where something long and white, and till was lying. Drop of ice were form lug on the edges of the slab, and a death cold stream was purling across its shin ing surface. Something that was not a voice, and which mode itself manifest to me through other channels than the ear, spoke lightly of the grave wherein I soon should lio, "We will bury him tonight," it seemed to say. "there will be no friends to in terfere, and there are too many dying these few days pact to keep 'stiffs' over half day." "But the law jrrants even s 'stiff" its rights." responded '" womanly voice 1 had learned to know, "we have no right to bury hitn with such indecent haste." "Bight or no right, law or no law, be'll have to get out of this tonight." re plied the first voice. The contention had no effect npon the something within uiy ice bound frame which still held its tiyst-rions connec tion with sentient liie. That filament, fine aa the gmwumer shred by which the spider binds together the ether and the rose, eeeme.1 an electric wire chanced with messages from an unoeen world. 1 could hear tho rise and fall of angelic choruses, like tho dip of songful s. as, and clear and sweet and dif tinct. alove thcra all. I heard the woman's voice 1 learned from out the cold embrace of death to note. "Ho shall not be buried tonight, nor yet tomorrow, if tluit flush contiuuee on his face." -What flush are yon talking aliontr responded the doctor, bringing the light be carried nearer the face that lay npon the marble slab, where the ice drop were forming, crystal hy crystal, like the be Is one threads upon a growing strand. "Why. the flush we both have noticed since we stood here. I knew by the in tent gaze yon bestowed npon what gen erally demands but a pawing glance that you discovered it when 1 did, and 1 de mand that the body be removed to the ward until we investigate the case." "That fliinb U only the reflection of yonr red dress," laughed the doctor. "Yon are wasting time." said the nurse. "I shall call a stretcher to carry this living man oct of the mnryue. Alt erward we may rtsiuae our conversa tion." "Yoo shall do coU.1113 of the sort," re plied the doctor, r.lacing Lie hand aa he prkecpn the outitreU bed arm of the nurse with compelling frce. "Yoahave tnade a fixd of your if over this fellow from the first. Not a bangT on in the ward but what noticed your interest in hi handsome face. Yon are bound to me by tin yon cannot break, and rather than ee yoa under the enchantment of this fellow again 1 simply w.U smother the feeble pub of hie that lingers in his veins and make a surety of his death." "Yoa may be a vuliia, but yon are not I COwaxi. Vt. Wxt" Kiiied U w.&a. hoe liand he still held. "To refuse to give this man the chance to live would be the luoat despicable act of your hit, and, so help me Uod, ( will denounce Ton as murderer before the first justice I can find if you do not instantly sum mon aitance and remove this body from this place." "Not so fast, my dr. Every mo ment s delay extinguishes more and more the chance for life, and if tlie attendants we sliall summon find dead man on thoslab who will U lieve your hysterical story in the face of my statement that no sign of life exinted? Women nurw-s are not in favor just at present with the board; they are too sensational, too nuo tintial. too indiscreet. Your bravado will eventuate only in your own dis grace." With the bound of a cat, the nurse, while he was yet speaking, broke from the doctor's detaining hold and reached the door, (jnick as thought she opened It and flew down the long corridor. Shall the future eternities hold for me another moment fraught with such pain as thrilled my tortured limlrs when the doctor's malignant face bent above my aealed eyes, and although conscious of a vast reserve power I felt myself un able to move the lightest memls-r or lift, by a single hair's weight, the closed lids? I felt his finger press the delicate anato my of my throat, and I knew that he was seeking to throttle the little life left in my body. Every drop of blood le came a spear of flame to thrust my quiv ering flesh, and Uie effort I made to groan started what seemed to me to be show ers of hot blood from every pore. The sound of hurrying feet and clam oring voices staid the doctor's h ind before its full purpose was accomplished, and raising himself from his sitting poe ture he greeted the newcomers with a brick: "Hurry up, boys! I thought Mini Brady had fallen asleep on the way. Lift this fellow np quickly and carry him to the ward, lie is good for long lease of life yet."' 1 never knew how the doctor and Miss Brady adjusted their quarrel. Both re tained their rexpective positions for some time after my recovery to health and removal to western city, where a stroke of long delayed good luck reknit the raveled edge of my finance aud placed me above want Mis Brady finally resigned her posi tion at my suggestion and joined me in my western home aa my beloved wife. Of the doctor' well faring or ill faring we neither of us knew aught from that day onward and forever. New York World. lllats Far noadballUar. To intelligently locate rood for a county, for instance, there should be a map on Urge scale showing water courses, railway stations, towns and their population and the population sr square mile for different sections. Having de termined the general direction and ex tent of the road, the problems of grade, drainage, adaptability of the soil for road purposes and minor considerations may present themselves U-fore a definite location may be determined. The amount of grade in a country road sliould prop erly depend upon the character of the country and traffic. Grades should never be level and never very steep. It is bettet to go around steep hill than over it Steep short cut may be convenient fol neighborhood roads, but never for main thoroughfare. Clayey surface may be bellied by the addition of sand and sandy surface by the addition of clay With regard to drainago, ample and well graded tido ditches with abundaut out lets for storm water should be supplied. The effort should be to construct a nar row good road not a wido common road. The layout should be wide, but the graded portion narrow. Ground surfac ing was good and broken trap rock still better. The road surface should be, in fact, traffic bearing, waterproof roof over the dirt road, slightly yielding or malleable under heavy loads, but suffi ciently firm not to break. Minneapolis Tribune.
