For two days the sick woman.bersclf had known that she was dying. Fearing nothing, regretting nothing, the name of the Saviour on her lips, she fell asleep at midnight and at daybreak was gone. At 9 o’clock on Monday evening Mat- JJ® Steck, of the Tombs, summoned Dr. Chetwood to attend Mrs South- wortii, as she appeared to her to be slaking rapidly. The physician saw at once that a relapse bad set in, and so informed her mother, who at once sent for her two sons. Although too weak to talk, the dying woman herself seem ed to fully realize how near death was With her wasted fingers clasped in her mother’s warm hand, her big brown eyes fastened trustfully upon her moth er’s face. she lay waiting for tbe sum mons. No fear was in her face, no ter ror of the messenger to come. She turned a grateful look upon those about her as they did all in their power to make her comfortable, but as they left tbe cell she beckoned her mother close. “Mamma,” she whispered, “bold me in your arms. I want to say my rayers.” And then, as she had ever one sb a merry, sinless child, she put her weak arms around her mother’s neck ’and faltered forth the prayer of babyhood: Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray thee, Lord, my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake I pray thee, Lord, my soul to take. With a sob that she could not control, the mother laid her child back among the pillows and watched her drooping lids. Like a creature of alabaster she seemed in the flickering light. She never spoke afterwards, though when her brothers came she flashed upon them a last look of recognition and seemed almost to smile. It was a mute “Goodnight!” In the violet light of early morning the troubled breathing of the sleeper ceased. Mother and brothers bent over the rude cot. They touched her fore head and her hands, in which the mother bad placed a tiny crucifix, Cold they were, and growing colder. It was with her the morning of a new day. For a little while they sat beside her. They grieved, and yet they were glad. Then the mother turned to her sons and said: “It is better so. I am glad she has gone.” HIS CASE CONTINUED Dale Will be Given a Hearing Next , .October. Dallas, Ga., Jan. 9.—(Special)—Tbe Dale trial is tbe all absorbing topic of conversation.
