THEN CAME THE SAD SEQUEL
The Evint Fercshadewed In the Singu
lar Vision Cams to Pass With Pain
ful Exactitude Only a Few Weeks
After In a Hn( Manner.
One morning when I awoke 1 had
barn dreaming, and the dream waa eo
vivid. a > llLe r.'a'.lty, tjuft it deceived
me, and 1 tiMmi.iil'lt waa real. In the
l tMjr. Clemena"
younger brother a corpse. lie lay In
a metallic burial c tee. Be was dressed
In a ault .iLui.v clothing, ami ou hla
breaat ley » irre:it lu>u|Uet of flowers,
mainly white ro»et, Trltb a red roee in
the centc.. The caaket stood ujuju a
couple of !ialra. *' I drewed and moved
toward ti c door, thinking I would g»
in there ami look at It, but I changed
my mind, i thought i x.ulj u»t yet
bear to meet my mother. 1 thought I
would wait awhile and make eome
preparation for that ordeal.
The bouse waa in Ix>cuat ■ treat, a
little above Thirteenth, and I walked
to Fourteenth and to the middle of the
block beyond before it auddenly flash
ed upon me that there waa pathlug
real about thla—lt waa only a dream.
I can still feel something of the grate
ful upheaval of Joy of that moment,
and I can also still feel the remnant
of d6ubt, the suspicion that maybe It
waa real, after all. I returned to tho
house aliuoet on a run, flew up the
stairs two or three atepa at a Jump
and ruabed Into that alt ting room and
waa fiiade glad again, for there waa no
caaket there.
We made th^.usual eventless trip to
New Orleans—no, it waa not eventlesa,
for It was on Ike way down that I bad
the light jrltb Mr. Brown wMch re
sulted In hla requiring that I be left
a allure at New Orleaua. In New Or
leana I always bad a job. It waa my
privilege to watch the freight piles
from 7 in the evening uutll T In the
morning and get >3 fur it It waa a
three night job aud occurred every
thirty-Ore daya. Henry always Joined
(Uy. watcb about 0 in the evening,
when bla own duties were ended, tad
we often wslked my rounds and chat
ted together uutll midnight.
This time we were to part, and eo
the night before the boat sailed I gave
, Henry aoma advice. 1 aaid: "In cose
of dtaaater to the boat don't loae your
bead. - Leave that unwladoin to tho
pasaengars; they are competent; they'll
attend to It. But you ruab for the bur
flcaue deck and astern to one of the
llfeboata laahed aft the wheel bouee
and obey the mate'a orders. Thua you
Wlil be useful. When the boat la
launched give such help aa you can

U and be sure you don't try to get lnt?>
It yourself. It la aummer weather, the
river 1« only a mile wide, aa a rule,
and you can awlm that without any
trouble."
Two or three daya afterward tbe
boat's boilers exploded at Ship laland,
below Memphla, early one mornbig,
and what happened afterward I have
already told In "Old Tlmea on the Uls
aisatppl." As related there, I followed
the Pemiaylvsula about a day later on
another boat, and we began to get
news of tbe diaaater at every port we
touched, aud eo by tbe time we reach
ed Memphis we knew all about it
* I found Henry atretcbed upon a mat
"treia on .the floor of a great bulldlug
along with thirty or forty other acald
ed and wounded persons and waa
promptly Informed by aoue Indiscreet
person that he bad Inhaled steam, tbat
hla body waa' badly acaided and that
be would live but a little while; alae

nursee were giving their whole atten

But Dr. Peyton, a flne and largt
hearted old phyalclan of great repu
tation in the community, gave me his
sympathy and took vigorous hold of
the caae, and In abottt a week be had
brought Henry around. Dr. Peyton
never committed hlmaelf with prog
nostications which might not materi
alise, but at 11 o'clock one night be
told me that Henry was oat of danger
and would get well. Then hessld:
"At midnight theae poor fellowa lying
- here and there all over thla place wjll
begin to mourn and matter and lament
and make outcries, and If thla commo

SAVED BY SILENCE.
A Buffalo Hunt and an Indian Inter
rwptlen en the PlaTna. ~
Two soldiers who belonged to a liotly
of ttoo»M crossing tho western plains
In 1862 started out to capture u buffalo.
A herd lied lieen seen alamt a mile
distent. Their horses were In good con
ditlou, aud, saya the author of "Five
Years a Dragoon." they bad every rea
sou la anticipate good spoil.
They approached tbe herd nt a walk
and were within eaay pistol abot be
fore the uui.uki'a taw them 'i Jen one
of them, named Peel, went to tbe weal
the other to tbe eaat Peel'a compan
ion bad dropped bla flrst'buffalo when
the voice of Peel rang out, "Get on
yonr borne!"
No time was lost, for, looking eaat,
be pointed to fifty or more ludlans In
a half circle half a mile away, t|)elr
left wing so far advanced tbat retreat
to camp was cut off.
CouaultatMß waa brief. Peel led tbe
way down tbe bill and circled round a
thicket, carefully selecting the Arm
buffalo grass aod, so aa to leave no
trail, and drew Into cover not twenty
yards from where some of tbe Indlaus
were sure to couie down.
There they aat on their horses, pis
tols la hand. Tbey bad no future
plana; they might have to flght death
under that bluff: tbey would do what
ever circumstances seemed to dictate.
They had not long to wait. The In
diana came rattling down the rock
trails leadlug Into tbe bottom, sending
out tbelr bloodcurdling warwboop at
every Jump. Tbey seemed to tbluk
thst tbe fleeing men would try to es
cape toward camp and be enveloped In
tbe circle; did not tblnk that they
would do anytbiug but run for their
lives, which would be sure death. One
brawny brave drew relu at the foot of
tbe trail where the men had come
down, raised himself In tbe stirrupa
aud looked sharply toward them.
Peel'a companion, believing they were
dlacovercd, raised his pistol to shoot
but Peel quietly 'reached over and,
placing bla band on bla comrade's arm,
gently pressed It down.
In a moment the Indian waa off to
the wast, allowing by hla actlona that
he had not seen tbem.
The way now seemed clear, and they
quietly walked their borsea op where
they had gone down a few momenta
before, turned aouth and gently trotted
bqfk toward camp. No freah meat
cheerertthe camp that night, but they
bad a new adventure to talk over.
When Ministers Had It Hard.
"We sometimes complain now," aald
the minister, "when our salaries are
reduced a hundred or two, but bow
ahould we go on If we bad lived la
the eighteenth century? Then, Indeed,
mlnlatera bad it bard. Listen to tbls."

L An Amateur Thief. |
[Original]
Two friends, Wallace Yoat and Clin
ton Palmer, were dlacusalng the blun
ders made by criniluals lu covering
their tracka. Yoat waa speaking.
"I tell yoa the criminal from tbe mo
ment be becomes a criminal haa not a
aoruial control of bis faculties."
"He ahould baveja far keener control
ef them thau befoi*. Had I committed
a crime my would be sharp
aa a raaor." ]
"I should like to have that etatement
tested." * $
j "It la possible. Make It worth my
while, aud I will commit a crime."
"What do you meauT"
Talmer thought awhile before reply
ing. "I will bet you (1,000 to SIO,OOO
tbat I cau steal SIO,OOO and not be de
tected for, eay, a year. I will take the
money from tho safe of my employer,
to wblcb I aud others have acceee. The
money can be returned auonymously
at the end of the year with lntereet."
"The conditions will be criminal.
If you are arrested,/l cah come for
ward and claim thplt It a
wager."
"That would not be evldepe*. \ Any
thief could get some frleiulto put In
such a claim for blm." v__/ .
"1 belle.ve you're rlgbt. Bd far aa be
ing coualdervd a criminal Is concerned,
there would lie no bope for you."
Tbe bet waa made, and Palmer tbe
next day during business hours, while
the office was crowded, walked delib
erately Into the safe, wlilch atood open,
put a package of bills tu bis aide coat
pocket, went and aat down at his desk,
retualued there till the hour of closing,
then weut out lu compauy wltb a uiem
lier of tbe firm. Uolnit to hla room, he
aat down to tblnk over what lie aboukl
do with Ihe money. His brain waa
irlear, and he was pleased to discover
that he bad perfect control of his fac
ulties. There had been so many peo
plo In the office at tlie time the tfloney
was taken, the safe standing open tbe
while, that there was 110 reason why
lio should be aua|iected any more than
others. Nevertheless sll the office force
would he placed under surveillance. X
Sjetectlve would be employed, whose
eye would lie open to the slightest
dew. Paluier'e room might be search
ed when he was absent, eo be couldn't
leave tbe money there. He dared uot
keep It on lila person. He dared not
put it In bank. lie must get rid of Jt.
Here was a risk tbat be was forced
to take. If he were seen biding the
money, If it were illacovered In any
place that would incriminate him, the
game would he pp. However, be l»e
--lleved that tlie liak would be Infinites
imal, aud he apnnt several hours mak
ing plans for the dls|>osltlun of the
funds. The Hieft hud not lieen discov
ered before tbe closing hours of busi
ness and could not possibly lie dis
covered till the bcKlnnthg of business
hours the next day. He could certain
ly not be watched till tben, If at all.
After dinner be went to bis grand
mother's, who lived a few miles out tn
the country, and when It waa dark and
tin one noticed him he etrolled back of
the house. Taktng a spade from the
liurn, be weut a few hundred yards to
a wood. There under a tree he knew
well—lie had often climbed It when a
Imy—he buried tbe bills In a cigar box.
]le felt now that the reat would lie
easy.. He would go to tbe office, as
usual, In the morning feeling sure that
tbe theft could not lie traced to lilin.
All he bad to do was to act naturally.
He alept fairly well and at 0 o'clock
In Ihe morning entered the office. Tbe
employees were coming In, and one of
the partners, Mr. Knox, was already
there. Palmer cast a quick glance
alsiut htm and Raw tbat all was as
usual. He aat down at hla desk and
tried to lose himself lu bis work. But
lie couldn't. He dreaded tbe moment
when the money would lie missed.
Then he liegan to wish tbe discovery
would be made and bis suspense elid
ed. About 11 o'clock tbe cashier went
Into the safe and soon returned with
a aerlous look on his, face. Going to
tbe head of tbe firm, Mr. Devlin, be
whispered something In bis ear. The
gentleman arose and went to tbe safe
wltb tbe cashier. Botb entered, aud
both came out together, the head of
the firm taktng in with a searching
glance every man In tlie office.
Palmer's heart was beating like a
kettledrum, and be felt tbe bluod leav
ing bla face. Should be look at his em
ployer or keep bis eyes on his work 7
He bad wit enough left to choose tbe
latter course, but he felt tbat tbe eye
of bla employer was on him, and to
look uncoucerned was out of tbe ques
tion.
fMr. Palmer, will you step Into my
private office?"
Palmer knew that tbe flrst part of
bis ghme had gone against blm, but bo
wasNplucky. Indeed, be had to lie
plucky and nerved himself for a at nig
gle as to the remalulug part. He de
nied any knowledge of tbe theft and
explained bis pallor on tbe ground tbat
be was not well. Mr. Devlin pretend
ed at least to be couVluced of bis Inno
cence and Wit blm back to work.
That's tbe last l'almer beard of tbe
matter. He could bare borne tbe
strain better bad he heird more. For
weeks be endured tbe tortures of tbe
damned and when be could endure It
no' longer went to bis aunt's, dug up
tbe money and, going'to Hr. Devlin,
laid It on bla desk.'
Palmer, having returned tbe money,
waa not prosecuted- Tbe circumstance*
of the bet were given ant, but made
little Impression. Palmer went forth
with the mark of Cain upon blm and
died In a few yeara ef the aMeqny un
der which be lived.
