But the hungry mnn will barter all your nilnea for one moracl of bread. Around Ood'a throne there mny be cholra and corn panic of aogrla, cherubim and ae ra il Mm, rlalng tier above tier, but not for one of tliem all doea the soul cry aloud, only perhaps fr a little human wom an, full of ain, that It once loved! "Change Is death, change la dcathl" be cried. "I wnnt no angel, only sho no holler and no better, with all her Bins upon her. Bo give her me or give me nothing!" For the soul's fierce cry for Iromnp tnllty Is this, only this: Return to me after death the thing as It was berore. Leave ma In the hereafter the being that I am today. Rob me of the thoughts, tho fi'ellnga, the dealres, that are my life, and you have left nothing to take. Your Immortality Is annihila tion; your hcrenfter is a lie Waldo flung open the door and walk ed out Into the starlight, his pain stricken thoughts ever driving him on ns he paced there. "There inuat be a hereafter because man longs for It," he whispered. 'Is not nil life from the cradle to the grave one long yearning for that which we never touch? There must be a here after becnuae we cannot think of any end to life. Cnn we think of a begin ning? Is it cnslcr to any 'I was not than to say 'I alinll not be 7" And yet where were we 00 years agoT Dreams, dreams! Ah, all dreams and lies! No ground anywlcre!" All dies, all dies! The roses are red with the matter that once reddened the cheek of the child. The flowers bloom the fairest on the last year tiat tleground. The work of Death'a flngor cunningly wreathed over la at the heart of all tilings, even of the living. Death's finger Is everywhere. The rocks are built up of a life that was. Bodies, thoughts and lovea die. From where springs that whiHir to the tiny soul of man, "Yuu shall not die?" Ah, is there no truth of which this dream la the shadow? He fell Into perfect silence. And at last, aa be walked there with hla bent bead, his soul passed down the stops of contemplation Into thnt vast land where there Is always pence; that land where the soul, gaslug long, loses all consciousness of Its little self aud al most feci Its band on the old mystery of Universal Unity that surrounds IL "No death, no death!" he muttered. "There Is that which never dies, which abides. It Is but the Individual that perishes; the whole remains. It la the organism that vanishes; the atoms are there. It Is but the roan that dies; the Universal Whole of which he la part reworks him Into Its Inmost self. Ah, what matter that man's day be short; that the sunrise sees him, and the sun set sees bis grave. That of wbicb be la bnt the breath has breathed him forth and drawn him back again. That abides; we abide." For the little sonl that cries alond for continued personal existence for Itself and Ita beloved there la no help. For the soul which knows Itself no more as a unit, but aa a part of the Uulversal Unity of which the Beloved also la a part, which feels within Itself the throb of the Universal Life for that soul there Is no death. "Let ns die, beloved, yon and t, that we may pass on forever through the Universal Llfel" In that deep world of contemplation all fierce desires die out, and peace conies down. He (Wal do) as he walked there saw no more the world that waa about hlro; cried out no more for the thing that he bad I oat. Hla sonl rested. Was It only John, think you, who saw the heavens open? The dreamers see It every day. 80 age succeeds age, and dream suc ceeds dream, and of the Joy of the dreamer no man knowcth but he who dreamcth. Our fathers had their dream; we have ours; the generation that follows will have Its own. Without dreams and phantoms man cannot exist. CHAPTER XXTIL WALDO GOES OUT TO SIT IN TBS SOU SltlKK. It had been a princely day. The long morning had melted slowly Into a rich afternoon. Ralna had covered the "karroo" with a heavy coat of green thnt hid the red earth everywhere. In the very chinks of the stone walls dark green leaves hung out, and beauty sod growth had crept even Into the beda of Old as the Hills sis lb pahu and ache of RHEUMATISM NEURALGIA SCIATICA SanaataMakittMCaisaf taeaihy St Jacobs Oil -pESTOOT , BT OUYa BCHKETSTB. A TALE OF LIFE IN THE BOER REPUBLIC (he sandy furrows and lined them with weeds. On the broken sod walla of the old pigsty chick weed nourished, and Ice plants lifted their transparent leaves. Waldo waa at work in the wagon bouse again. He waa making a kitchen table for Era. Aa the long curia gathered In heapa before hla plane he paused for an lustant now and again to throw one down to a email naked nigger who bad crept from Ita mother, who stood churning In the sun shine, and had crawled Into the wagon bouse. From time to time the little ani mal lifted Ita fat band as It expected a fresh shower of curls till Doss, Jeal ous of bis master's noticing any other small creature but himself, would catch the curl In hla mouth and roll the little Kafflr over In the sawdust, much to that small animal's content ment. A different life showed Itself In front of the house, where Tanf Sannle's cart stood ready "I na panned," and the Boer woman herself sal In the front room drinking coffee. She bad come to visit her stepdaughter, probably for the last ttaie, as she now weighed 300 pounds and was not easily able to move. On a chair sat her mild young husband nursing the baby, a pudding faced, weak eyed child. "You take It and get into the cart with It," said Tanf Sannle. "What do you want here, listening to our wom an's talk?" The young man arose and meekly went out with the baby. "I'm glad you are going to be mar ried, my child." said Tanf Bannle aa she drained the last drop from her coffee cup. "I wouldn't say so while that boy was here. It would make hlro too conceited. But marriage la the finest thing In the world. I're been at It three times, and If It pleased God to take this husband from me 1 should have another. There's nothing like It, my child, nothing." "Perhaps It might not suit ail peo ple at all times as well as It suits you, Tanf Bannle," said Em. There was a little, shade of weariness In the voice. "Not suit every one!" said Tanf Ban nle. "If the beloved Redeemer didn't mean men to have wives, what dldfle make women for? That's what 1 say. If a woman's old enough to marry and doean't, she's sinning against the Lord, It's a wanting to know better thaa him. What! Doea she think the Lord took all that trouble In making her for nothing? If a evident he wants babies. Otherwise why docs he send them? Not that I've done much In that way myself," said Tanf Bannle sorrowful ly, "but Pre done my best." She rose with some difficulty from ber chair and began moving slowly to ward the door. "It's a strange thing." she said, "but yon can't love a man till you've had a baby by him. Now, there's that boy there. When we were first married. If he only sneesed In the night I boxed his ears. Now If be lets bis pipe ash come on my milk clothes I don't think of laying a finger on him. There's noth ing like being married," said Tanf Sannle as she puffed toward the door. "If a woman's got a baby and a hus band, ahe'a got the best things the Lord can give her, If only the baby doesn't have convulsions. As for a husband. It's very much the same who one has. Borne men are fat, and some men are thin, some men drink brandy, and some men drink gin, but It all cornea to the same thing In the end; It's all one, A man's a man, yon know." Here they came upon Gregory, who waa sitting In the shade before the house. Tanf Bannle shook banda with him. "I'm glad you're going to get mar ried," aha said. "I hope you'll have aa many children In five years aa a cow haa calves, and more too. I think I'll Jnst go and have a look at your soap pot before I start," she said, turning to Em. "Not that I believe In thla new plan of putting soda In the pot If the dear Father bad meant soda to be put Into soap, what would be hare made milk buabea for and stuck them all over the vell aa thick aa lambs In the lambing season T Bhe waddled off after Em In the di rection of the built In soap pot, leaving Gregory aa ttey found him, with his dead pipe tying on the bench beside him and his blue eyes gating out far across the flat, like one who sits on the seashore watching that which la fad ing, fading from him. Against bis breast waa a letter found In a deak ad dressed to himself, but never posted. It held only four words, "Ton most marry Bra." He wore It In a black bag round hla neck. It waa the only lettor she had ever written to him, "Yon see If the sheep don't hare the scab thla year!" said Tanf Bannle as she waddled after Em. "If s with all these new Inventions that the wrath of Ood must fall on na. What were the children of Israel punished for If It wasn't for making a golden calf? I may have my sins, but I do remember the Tenth Commandment, 'Honor thy father and thy mother, that It may be well with thee, and that thou mayst live long In the land which the Lord thy God glveth thee.' It's all very well to say we honor them and then to be Hod log oat things that they never know and dolbg things la a way that they never did them. My mother boiled soap with bushes, and I will boil soap wrb bushes. If the wrath of Ood to Is fail upon tola land," said Tanf Bannle, with the serenity of conscious virtue, "It shall sot be through roe. Let them make tbetr steam wagons and their Ore carrtagse; let them go en as thong! the dear Lord didn't know what be was about when be gars horses sad oxen legs. The destruction of the Lord will follow then. I doot know how such people read their Bibles. Whes Continued on Fourth Pag. "4 MODERN Rtll.K.itlOXJ. "At Omaha, I received a new Thrill," says Klbert JIulilmrd in tht April Philialine. "Jl wa.t the I'.url ington station. I believe it wa Larry G.xlkiu who once aaiil there was no culture went of Ituir.ilti. Ami who would look for the fluent riktI moo of ure Check architecture in America went of the Miiwouri. The Burlington t tut ion is liner iu ilu line tfian the Uirard College huil.tiiif; : rnanaive yet modest; severe yet sim plebeautiful and rent ful. I walged dear around the Burlington Station, and then, out iu the middle of the roadway In front of it, I removed my hat and stotal uncovered in houor of Tom Kimball, who drew the plann, and the men who Htiliid the fun. In acd allowed tho architect to have hi way in carrying out the denin. "It waa Matthew Arnold who said that in America buildings are erect ed merely to lust the lifetime of the man who coriHtructed them, and Ik yond himself no man hud a thought, or cared a damn. I quote subntanl hil ly, not literally n y verbal memory is bad. But the Burlington Slat ion is built for those who shall come after. It is built for tiio centuries. It does not iniirew you by its sir.", yet it is big en tiff. And I noticed that the temple-like quality of the structure had made its influence fell upon the manHgement of the place. 'Inside all was clean, neat, quiet, orderly. There are reading-paiers, magazines. Then, there are bath rooms, sanitary appliance of the most costly and improved kind: watchful and courteous attendants in uniform, to meet passengers, carry bundles, and put them on the proper tralus, or lake them to the carriage etnds, or see that they lake the right street ears all this without ex pectation of fee or reward. In the building there is to tie found every thing that can minister to one's well being; physical, menial anil spiritual. "As I sat there in the beautiful waiting-room watching the sunlight stream in thru stained glass windows I saw tired, yellow woman come in with many bundles, and a big crying baby boy. The woman seemed ready to faint thru weariness; evi dently she was unused to travel, having come from a distant-", anil htvirig psssed a sleepless night. 1 saw a stewardess in cap and w hite apron approach this woman and apeak to her; and Minn, from out of a mysterious locker, that stewardess, in the cap and white apron, tlisht up a pilow and made a couch for the ti ed woman. And while the mother rested, the stewardess carried the big obslreperous Isiy baby off to the wash-room, and when she emerged soon after, I saw that the cub's face and hands had been washl; and r bottle of milk, brought from th lunch room, soon made the man-child en rapHjrt with his environment. "And I pinched myself to see if I were awake and then askt a colored gentleman, who was wiping off the furniture, If this was really a truly Railroad Station. "I'am not so alisurdly old, but I remember when, if you askt a con ductor a question, he met you with withering sarcasm and haiks i f scorn. Whenever you enter a railway coach, you apologix.il io the break man, and sliding Into a seat, look I ueither to the right nor loft, for fear of giving offence to the kind gentle man who allowed you Io rido for six cents a mile. "Verily! Brudder Jaser Is right, the world do move." LIGHT TO HEAL THE LI' M.S. What appears to lie something in the nature of a revival of the old "blue glass cure,' which attracted a great deal of attention all over the world some years ago, is the new method of treating deceases which Is now being exploited by lr. J. Mount Bleyer of New York. The following description is taken from a paper recently read by him in that city: "Pure air, sunlight and concentrat ed electric light will Improve any aseof tuberculosis. I should say the beat thing a man dying of tuber culosis can do Is to buy an old green house, put some b'ue glass in the roof and walk around naked in the sunlight. But even this treiiment can be improved upon. I wss led to my electric-light cure by my rxrimetits on animals. Then I took men ami women who had tuberculosis, and plai-ed them In houses especiallly constructed with blue glass roole; in fact, I built a solarium at Liberty, N Y. a great glass building, which looks like a horticultural conservatory. My patients were drooping plants, which I attempted Io nurtuie. They walk ei around in the rays ol blue sun light, and Improved wonderfully. Moat of them got well. "Then, I argued, If blue light waa sn beneficial Io consumptives, why not ptovide it for them artificially and in concentrated form? I procur ed a powetful arc i'ght concentrating lantern. Its candle-power must have been 10,000. I need it on my con sumptive HiiiinaN, sending ita rays through tilue glass. Tho effect waa remarkable. The beasts were made well nint h more quickly than in blue sunlight. It was equally beneficial to human patients. "Next I (iispenccd with the blue glass. Ii stead I caused the light to pass through large Jars filled with chemical fluids, which absorbed all the light rays in the lower end ot the pectruin, for I found that only the blue; the Indigo and the violet rays exert an influence on the movement of the sjiores. "If a vessel containing a deep col ored solution of ainmoniatfd copper oxide, which transmits only blue 01 violet rays, Iks placed between the source of light and cultivated spores, the spores are seen to react, just as they will when placed in coutact with ordinary white light. On the o'.her hand, Ihey do not react at all to light which has passed through bichromate of potassium solution, through yellow vtt or of sodium i!anie or through ruby or red glass. I am able, therefore, to control the reaction of spores under light rays merely by interposing various solu tions in the path of thr light. "Now, there is no difficulty in parsing the rays t ...ia:'i ihe human trunk to the lungs. We now that the cathode r.iyi force their way through opsquL bodies that ordinari ly arrest the transit of sunlight, ltocntgcn Iihs told us that, unlike sunlight, these cathode rays do not umiulste in waves, but pass, as it were, batkwsrd and forward. To this probably is due their penetrat ing power. So we have the means of projection the rsys, with all their therapeutic properties, right Into the lungs of the con umptive; in other words, it 's possil e 0 operate on his lungs without opening his body." Light is inimical to the develope- ment of Ihe harmful organisms.

Hitchcock, of the Department of the Interior, asking his aid in solving the problem of grazing In the western forest reser ves. The Division of Forestry will commence immediately an investiga tion which will last several mouths. The controversy over the alleged evil effect of sheep grazing has in volved western cattlemen, woolgrow ers, and farmers in a bitter war for many years, and the recent increase of irrigation has added to the bitter ness, Uovernment action in the mat ter has been hastened by ttin estab lishment of forest reserves. In view of the injury to the forests in many sections from overgrazing, all reser ves except those in Washington and Otegon, and the Black Mesa Reserve, in Arizona, which is to be opened to 800,000 sheep at 3 cents a head, are closed to sheep by an order Issued last May. This step has raised a storm of protest from woolgrowers, who insist that no harm is done by grazing under pioper restrictions. Many are reirted to have driven their herds into the mountains last summer in defiance of the law. Against the sheep owners are ar rayed the cattlemen and farmer.', and especially the irrigators, who claim the practice means disaster to agriculture in the lowlands. These argue that sheep destroy the forest cover iu the mountains and thus diminish the water supply. They are said not only to eat the young growth which is to ierpe(uate the forest, but to tramp down innumer able seedlings and destroy the layer of leaves neccessaiy to keep the soil in good condition. Sheep herders are accused of burning largo areas in order to secure a growth of grass. While the government will decide the matter only in the ease of the forest reserves, these include a large part of all Ihe summer ranges of the western sheep-raising states, and the results will be of great importance to the American woolgrowing Industry. As no general rule can be applied each reserve will be studied separate ly. The first step of Ihe Division of Forestry will be't collect impartial ly the testimony of Isith sides. Lists of questions will be sent to thousands of sheep men and their opponents. About July 1 an examination of the reserves wilr begin. A number of botanists, irrigation experts aud si milar scientific men will be secured from all parts of the United States, and they will spend several months in Ihe field. In addition, all field paities of tho Division of Forestry engsged in other work in the inter ested regions will be required to give time to the sheep question also. Sec, Hitchcock has askea the IVpart men of Agriculture to give special attention to the follow ing phases. Relation of grrzing to taxation and the general prosperity of spiclfied localities.
