Little Freddy was the only child in the family. He had no little sisters or brothers to play with him, so when he was told that a baby sister had come, he was very happy. Hut he soon found that father and mother did not pay so much attention to him as they formerly had, and that baby seemed to be considered of more account than he. This worried Freddy; but he suddenly thought of something which would help him out of his trouble. Some weeks before his father had put Ashes to Give Away; Ina sign up: Within.

But the Idea once conceived, she had some difficulty in finding out what that way was. Her husband was chary of speaking about his first wife. Miss Matty feared that his sense of loss was still keen, and thought It rather Indelicate to mention her; and when she did, on one occasion, ask him how Mrs. Spranzy had made the brpwn bread he was so fond of, and Insisted upon having every day, Mr, Spranzy had seemed so uneasy, that when he had gone poor Miss Matty looked penitently, with tear-fllleeyes, at the portrait, and said, as she so often said: She must a been a mighty kind woman, to be mourned like that! Then one evening Mr. Spranzy came home with the letter, saying his first wifes cousin, Julia Keene, was coming on a visit for a few days. avoided Mrs., Keene and her constant stream of talk more and more, and his wife became anxious at his failing appetite.

In a small cottage built as close as possible to the graves of their children, who died in the Iroquois theater fire in Chicago in 1903, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Muir are living here. Their strange domicile Is located In Oak Hill cemetery, amid tall pines and gravestones. A few days ago they gave up their farm In northern Ohio and moved Into the cottage In the cemetery. Not an hour in the day passes that the aged couple do not visit the graves and place flowers upon them and shed tears. One of the dead was S. A. Muir, living at the time of the fire on Winthrop He and his wife avenue, Chicago. perished in the panic. The other child was the wife of Emery Hewins of Petersburg, Ind. Mrs. Hewins was The visiting Mr. Muir In Chicago. parents at that time lived in Evans- ille. to The death of the children and the sons wife crushed the parents in Evansville. They had the three bodies brought here and interred in the same grave in Oak Hill cemetery. For sev eral months the aged couple visited the graves daily and then the mother's health became so poor and her nerves so wrecked that Mr. Muir decided to leave Evansville. He bought a farm In northern Ohio four years ago and moved there in the hope that absence from Evansville would quiet Mrs. Muirs grief. On the contrary, she becarfie all the worse, and as a last resort, to quiet her longings to be close to the graves treasures, Mr. Muir decided to come back to Evansvill. Nothing would satisfy Mrs. Muir but that they should take up their residence in the cemetery. Mrs. Muir told the pathetic story of their leaving Evansville and their return to be near the graves. She said: since. Have you found happiness In your new home? With a smile of rare sweetness Mrs. Muir stepped to the front door of the cottage, which faces the north, and pointing her finger 50 yards to the east, where the three stone slabs that mark the one grave were plainly visible, she said: Why shouldnt I be? I have my children with me. Mr. Muir is Cl years old and his wife 60 years old. Mrs. Muir Is from one of Evansvilles oldest families. Her grandfather, James Brazelton, was one of the civil engineers who helped to lay out the city, and was a relative of Gen. Evans, after whom the city is named. Her uncle, James G.
