Bnt I tell yon the troth when I say that yon will suffer far more with vour arm, if you live, than yon would in having it tak- >ff.” ’It isn’t the dread of the pain of am putation that makes me refuse to have it taken off,” I answered, “it is simply because I cannot bear the idea of going through life with bnt one arm to de pend on.” For a time after my wonnd was dressed, I was tolerably comfortable. Then the shoeting pain I have spoken immenced running all over me i. My suffering was so intense that I could feel the sweat starting on my forehead. I oonld not keep back the groans of agony which roa up.. Presently the nnrse came in how terribly I was suffering, he called the snrgeon who chanced to be passing through the halL “Poor fallow! he’s bonnd to have hard time of it,” the snrgeon said. “Give him this powder^now, and if it doesn’t relieve him, give another, may be necessary to give two, bnt ’ m’t do so unless he suffers intensely.

Then the organ’s mighty voioe died out in a long minor chord, and the minister read in slow impressive tones: “I am the resurrection and the life, whosoever believeth in Me, though he be dead, yet shall he live again.” Then came messages of comfort from the word of God to sorrowing hearts. I beard the sobs of friends about me, si tbs good man spoke. Then he prayed. A hymn was sung. . ,Xbe lid above my face was lifted, and friend came about to take tho fast look.

When again a vague sort of # con- beams of coming day steal in upon the perfumed. fathargy upon me. It seemed my frantic efforts to break the bouda that bound me must avail and set tho current of life in motion. My mother came to me last. She Ironed across the coffin, and laid her cheek against my face, and whispered, “Oh, my boy, yon were all I had left, and 1 loved you so.” Somehow those words seemed acn the hidden spring of life. The stagnant current began to move again, my will resumed its power over my ’•od^; I opened my eyes, and cried out, ’Mother!” I cannot describe the scene of terror and excitement tbat followed. Imag ine how it would be if yon saw the dead come to life. For months after that many looked at me with frighten ed faoes as if they conld not rid them selves of the impression that I had really been dead and they beheld my ghost.

Aid was also asked from Baltimore, bnt the dietsnoe is so great that fully three hours would be required to get engines there, and that would have been too late to 3o any good. The Sisters department is entirely destroyed, together with 'at* other large structure, involving a dam age of $50,000, whieh is folly covered by insuranoe.
