Pathetic Story of Wife's Devotion and
Young Man’* Heroism.
Kockmart. Ga.. May 5.—From the
little town of Rarnett, Ga., comes a
story of a wife's devotion and a young
man's heroism that touches the depths
of the heart.

lage postmaster, was stricken wit'
smallpox In its most violent form. No
one could be Induced to go near the
shadowed home, and for two weeks
the poor wife, half dead with her
weariness and grief, nursed the doom,
ed man alone.
Finally some of the residents of the
town Induced two negroes to go to the
aid of Mrs. Turner, but In spite of all
her devotion and the untiring skill and
devotion of her physician In three
days Mr. Turner wns dead.
They burled him in the night, juet
four negroes who carried the coffin and
one white man. Immediately after
wards. although every-precaution had
been taken. Mrs. Turner succumbed
to the fell disease, and now comes the
beautiful part of the story. The poor
woman lay there, desperately 111, with
no one to care for ber, when Joseph
O'Brien, a young man of wealth and
Influence, hearing of the case, hiring
such help as be could, bravely took
his life In hiB hands and Is nursing
the stricken woman. Small hope is
entertained of her recovery.
The world loves to honor a hero,
and especially Is it due to this young
man who, with everything to make life
bright for him, calmly faces a proba
ble death for the sake of a helpless
woman In distress.
