unnatural biilllincy , turned from ono to an
other of those abiiit the room , and at last
fixed themselves upon the countenance of
his wife For a moment there was absolute
silence Then Mis Hlalne , heroics meeting

leaned over the bedside and whispered the
question
"James , do i on know where Walker , Km

Theio was immediate response , a new

tiemorian through the wasted fonn. For
two dajs the dying man had not moved of

the watchers' eager gaze met a sin prising
and a beautiful reward The light arm , after
a second's struggle , rose from the bed cover
The white , almost pulseless hand closed
