'The Colonel was warned of the ap

He had summoned the physician to
the home of his sister, where he is
spending his last hours. When Doctor
Kast walked into his room. Colonel
Cody said:
“Sit down, doctor, there is some
thing I want to ask yoti. I want you
to answer me hone-^tly. What are
my chances?”
Doctor Kast-turned to the scout:
"There is a time. Colonel." said he.
"when every honest physician must
commend his pari«nt to a higher
power.”
Colonel Cody’s head sank.
"How long?" he asked simply.
“I can answer that." said the phy

is like the hour glass. The sand is
slipping gradually, slowly—but soon
the sand will all be gone. T’ne end
