| THE LIGHT’S What My Wife Believes, i;
j: DAILY STORY | By Henry S. Gibson. |
Copyrighted, igoa, by
My wife believes me to be a brave
man. She has had proof of my cour
age; proof of my honesty; proof of
my love, but 1 know that fear, dread
anu actual cowardice have let' a stain
within me. Sometimes when I con
teiaplati the truth, it seems that tiie
supposed virtues of my character
crumble und vanish; I seem a liar, a
hypocrite, and my love for her re
proaches me.
Mv wife has seen me 111; nigh unto
death. Yet she has seen in me no
sign of fear. She has seen me go
voluntarily into danger: seen me seize
the horse that dragged her ami hold
him. though my leg was broken by his
hoof but I know that I have feared,
and. more than that, have sweated
with a oread lest she should know.
We were married in the fall, and
moved to a house of our own. My
mil her, with an old uncle, still lived
in the house I had left We were be
gining to experience that second ham
plnoss that comes to men and women
when they feel that their lives are as
suming a sweet and permanent rela
tion. We had been married several
months when I was notified one morn
ing that my uncle had died during the
night and that my mother wanted me
to come to her at once. I hurried to
my old home. She had called my uncle
at the’usual time that morning, and re
ceiving no reply, had gone to his room
ami found him sleeping his last sleep
Of course there was nothing to do but
make the necessary arrangements, and
I attended to them, trying, meanwhile
to console my mother. Soon after 1
arriWd my wife came, accompanied by
an old friend ot my mother’s. It was
finally arranged that my mother should
spend the night with her friend and
that my wife and 1 should stay in the
old home until after the luneral.
1 left the office at nine o’clock tha'
evening and hurried ijome. The cold
was intense. 1 left thd car and turned
up the street which led to the house,
and it was then that the first creeping
fear came over me. Why, I do not
know, nor is it my intention to specu
late. As 1 neared the house it loomed
dark and repellent, no light gelamed
from the window or door; all was
wrapped in somber silence. Then my
heart gave a sudden bound, for from
the shadow of the snow capped hedge
which enclosed the lawn, a muffled fig
ure stepped.
"Is that you Tom?" asked a voice
I knew
My blood resumed its normal flow
and I answered with more gayety than
the presence of death warranted.
"Sure, it is, dear; but what on earth
are you doing out her# in the cold?”
"Mother left about* 8 o’clock,” my
wife answered, "and I went over to
Mrs. Remington’s v itt her. I turned
out the gas in the hall when I left,
and when I came back I was afraid to
go in alone.”
Honest, wasn’t it? . There the little
woman had been for an hour or more,
walking up and down disconsolately ir.
the snow and cold, simply because she
feared to enter that .lonesome house.
Rut when 1 came all her fear vanished.
And I. how could 1 laugh at her fears,
the fears of a girl alone in a strange
house, when at the time she met me,
1 was dreading to enter the home of
my own childhood.
I was hungry and we set about get
ting lunch. Then came the second
evidence of my fear. Wtnny started
for the kitchen, then burned, and, with
a look in her eyes which I fully com
prehended, said:
“You come, too, Tom."
I went, and sne took my hand in
hers and thanked me for understand
ing her fear, and tor saying nothing
nor laughing. What would she have
thought had she known that I had
been afraid to have her leave me alone
in the living rom? What if she had
known that in the moment she had
turned her back to me, 1 had glanced
apprehensively al the stairs which led
to the room where the dead man lay?
The little lunch was a merry one.
and then we returned to the glow of
the fire.
"Come." she said, "fill your pipe and
smoke while we chaL'k;
Ah. I had thought of that. While
we were eating I had found tobacco
in nty pocket and realized that I had
no pipe. I had felt in my pocket for
cigars or cigarettes, and had found
none. But that was not all; I had re
membered that upstairs in my room,
there were a score of pipes. I had
been picturing them to myself before
she spoke.
But I also remembered that a"week
or more before he died, my uncle had
moved into my old room and that his
hotly now lay on the bed at its further
end. Even as in my mind's eye I could
see the pipes lying invitingly in their
nooks, so could I see the still, cold
form lying beneath its sheet of white.
"I have no pipe." I said. I was afraid
to meet her eye. Afraid that she
would read what I feared to own.
"There must be some of your old
ones around the house somewhere,”
she said, “you did not take many away
with you.”
Was she looking at me? Did she
suspect the fear that was within me?
Was she persisting with the intention
of driving me to the thing 1 dreaded?
I looked up.
"Sure,” I said, "there must be a
dozen or more in my old room- Hl
go and get one." , No, she had meant
nothing. Her eyes met mine as
brightly, but at my words they clouded
with the same look they had held when
she had asked be to go with her to the
kitchen
"O, don’t go up there, Tom,” she
said.
But 1 would not have it so. Now
that I had eont'cnsel that there were
ppies In the house, 1. would lia>c one.
1 laughed as i turned to her
"Why not. little one.?’’ I said. ‘ Sure
ly. you wouldn’t have me afraid to
enter the r<Kiin I’ve slept in all ny
life, because of something we know
cannot hurt us?”
"Take a candl? with you, dear," she
said, as 1 left the room.
Again came that overmastering
dread. Did she know that I had been
groping wrh the eyes of my imagina
tion in the da-sness ahead? Did rh«
guess that I had not taken a r-ght be
cause I wished to simulate a courage
I did not have?”
“No.” 1 said. 1 know where thez
are and can put my hand r'gbf on
them- if I can't I can light the gas
when I get up there.”
Up the stairs I went and it seemed
Daily Story Pub.
as if the thick carpet was sucking my
feet as a quicksand would draw clown
a victim. The little light which came
from below made theMear and familiar
objects assume apw and grotesque
forms. Id the cross hall it was inky
dark and I went. Silently down it. the
damp fright gripped me till it seemed
us it I were struggling against a heavy
current. My hips ached, my knees
seemed scarce able to bear the weight
above them, and my eyes peered rest
lessly into th$ rayless gloom in search
of I knew not what.
It was foolish, groundless, shameful
fear that ixrssessed me. and every
element of my reason dinned the fact
within my cars. But I dared not re
turn and confess this fear. I would
enter the room and take what 1 want
ed, and. as for that upon the bed, it
should be as if it were not there.
I opened the door and stepped into
the chill darkness of the room. But
a tew steps and I could leave. I took
the first, and. as my body poised to
take the second, my knees came in
contact with something, a chair I
thought, and I grasped it quickly in
the darkness to save myself from fall
ing.
But it was not a chair; ’twas him!
vVe crashed together upon the floor.
It seemed that 1 grew old as 1 strove
to separate myself from him and
regain my feet. So cold! So clammy!
So rigid, he felt! The perspiration
burst from my every pore, and I lean
ed against the wall in helpless terror.
But even then, in the sweating,
nerveless horror of the moment, I
knew what had happened and how it
had happened. The undertakers had
come while I had been at the office
and had prepared the body for burial,
had removed it from the bed and
placed it on trestles near the door.
In a flash 1 knew all that, and I
knew that he was lying as he had
fallen; but, how? How was he 'ying?
The darkness was so black! Could 1
grope until 1 found him and then lift
him again to the board .* If I put
forth my hand what part of him would
meet my touch? Would I feel his hair,
his cold, pallid flesh, or would my
fingers meet a stony eye-ball, staring
in the dark?
And then, to light the gas! Again,
bow would he lie?. Would his body
Ie near me, twisted in some hideous
attitude? Would his face leer at me
«ith glassy eye and fallen jaw? Years
v.ere passing! Winny would wonder
v hat kept me. 1 would light the gas!
i would do what 1 had to do! 1 struck
a match and dared not look until the
gas had leaped in flame.
He lay as calmly as if in sleep. The
white sheet had fallen over him leav
ing his face uncovered and showing
a pleasanter smile than he had been
wont to wear in life. I lifted him tq
the trestle and turned to go. Then,
as 1 closed the door. 1 remembered
the pipe for wlycb I had come. I
forced myself to' litrn and get it, and
with a panic so great that I could
scarce refrain from leaping down the
rtairs. I rejoined mJ'wife.
• Did you find one?” she asked, as
I entered.
"Yes.” I answered.
"My! it took you long enough. I
thought, too. that I heard something
fall.”
“I kicked over a chair," I said, going
into the bathroom to wash my hands,
for it seemed as if the icy sweat of a
moment before was blistering my fin
gers. Her voice came to me as I
bathed in the pulse-restoring water.
"I wish I had your nerve. Tom; fool
ish as it may seem. I wouldn’t have
gone up there in the dark if I were
to die without a smoke."

The Fort Worth Telegram, in writ
ing of the aw ard of the commission for
erecting a statue of the Rev. Dr. Bur
leson of the Bay 1 or University, says:
"The fortunate sculptor was Pom
peo Coppini of San Antonio. Texas,
who has made many of the effigies of
the emfiient men and women of the
world, notably those of Europe and
the United States. The model he sub
mitted presented th eillustrious sub
ject in a graceful ami dignified atti
tude, standing with Bible in hand with
the index finger between its leaves
marking the page of some favorite
Scriptural passage. The head is bare,
displaying the noble features and fore
head. Pendant from the arm gracefully
tai's in folds the overcoat, while in
the hand is the inseparable compan
ions. his cage and silk hat. The figure
is in a posture suggestive of address
ing a gathering which he has just
joined. It is clad in the characteris
tic clerical frock coat and othen raim
ent peculiar to the clergy and Dr. Bur
leson in particular. It stands on a
beautiful and graceful pedestal, circu
lar In form, into which are to be set
tablets containing a bas relief of Bay
lor University and such inscriptions
as may be determined by the commit
tee to be appropriate.
“The statue is to be of bronze and
the pedestal of Texas granite. The
total altitude of the monument will be
t wenty feet, the statue to be eight and
the pedestal twelve feet high. The
tablets are to be of bronze, also the
wreath facing the front of the pedes
tal.
"The model -possesses svnetry.
beauty, elegance and simplicity, which
ill recommend it as an art products n.
The award could not have been more

Damming the River.
The Goliad Guard says:
"Dam the San Antonio river. Yes.
dam it. There is money in it. Cuero
home capitalists dammed the Guada
lupe, and see the live Helds and other
irrignted farms the people there have.
Till rich valleys of the San Antonio
river can be made Io prodmv any and
all kinds of crops with irrigation The
liver will Is' dammed, gentlemen, our
word for it, and the value of land will
lie trebled. Shall it Im' bv haul capi
tal. or will you have foreign capital to
do it’ Stick a pin right here."
By all means. Dani the San Antonio
river and with ha-al capital a* Cuero—
if we mistake not did. It is useless
having good things if we "nave not sense
enough to utilize them.
Stringent But Necessary.
In view of the recent killings in
Grange the Tiilnine says:
"We need the most stringent protee
live laws against tiie gun carrying crim
inal, and then need judges to enfor.e
them. The puldio whipping post, whil '
it would be effectivc. has its detieieneies.
Money does not pay lor a violation of
law. and tia' whole fining , system is
worng and unjust. Imprisonment at
hard lalior for not less Hinn one year, and
as nimh longer a- the peculiar cireuni
stances demand this is the true, and it
seems, in our judgment, the only true
solution of this vital problem now."
The fining of tlic individual has little
effect and is unju-t because to the af
fluent it is no puni-hment at all wiide
the fine may press heavily upon the poor
ufl’ender and in default of payment he
may be imprisoned.

cases can be cured and hopeless res

Circumstances Alter Cases.
Brother Ford of the Orange Tributw,
is gallant, and he says:
"The open work aluckings are not quite
so nice as the altogether, but thev are
getting there. Men editors will follow."
Will they? Well that depends on
circiini-tauces. An open work stocking
in a shop w itidow oi flung upon a line
has no influence on the average Baa An
tonio editor. But when they cover the
feet of a pretty damsel and daintily pop
in and out from lingerie—well that’s
quite a different proposition.
