Allbutone, 1 um, of course, speuking of the men. The ladies held the sitting room, while we took the plat- form. This one was a middle-aged man, who took his valise and sat down at the ar end of the ‘\Iu\!m'm, asil to get as lar from us as he could, Everybody no- ticed his action and he was put down as a sour-minded chap who could have added nothing to our comfort. We sim- ply did by him as he did by us—let him severely nlone. About ten minutes before train time T noticed that the man wasasleep, I made bold to appr b him and call out, but he did not move. Going closer, the pe- culiar pallor of his face alarmed me, and in unother minute I discovered that he was dead. _Ho had pussed away while he slv\w. ‘When we came to 1ift him up what do you suppose we found? He had been writing in a note book with a pen- cil, und the lust lines he had written wero: “A stranger ina strange land and sick unto death, and yet no one has a word of sympathy—noone will even come near me. May God forgive them for being 60 stony-hearted.

Her carly ef- forts failed, however, and Gillon for his various misdeeds was sen- tenced to five years to the Massu- chusetts state prison, While there he remembered t Mrs. Mills had often expressed a desire that ho should le- come converted and enter the Methodist ministry, The idea struck Gillon as a brilliant one and so he wrote at once to Mrs, Mills, intimating that if he had the money on his relense he should prepare himself for the ministry. Checks in varying suns to the amount of §1,200 were sent to him on his re- lease. However, business promised greater inducements than the pulpit, and he informed his benefactress that if he had another $1,000 he could form a railtoad syndicate and make his fortune. The money was forthcoming. He proceeded, how- to paint New York red with cash, though he wrote Mvs. Mills requent letters glowing with religious fervor, The syndicate required more money than he anticipated, and so he kept drawing on the widow. Finally he sent her a note to this effect: My Dearest and Best Friend: It is sometimes difficult for me to realize on your vemittances as soon as 1 might sh. Don’t you think it would be a good idea for me to make out the checks for money in your name when the con- cern needs money, so that I will not be subjected to unnecessary and oitentimes disastrous delay? Of course you know me well enough by this time to know that T can be trusted. Risking the danger of your displeasure—which would prove a great blow to me—I have signed a paper with your name for $: and you will probably hear from it very soon after getting this note. I find that I am still unflinching in the faith I pos- sess of God and the great good his love has done for me. How could I ever have wandered in the dark and devious ways of sin is more than I can understand, These checks came thick and fast dur- ing the last year, and nearly $21,000 had been obtained before a halt was called. The attention of the police was cal to the fac* by some one who suspected that all was not right. An investigation was begun, and it was found thav Gillon has been travel- ing about the country in great style on thismoney. He has had a handsome house elcgantly furnished at Framing- ham, has kept numerous servants and driven out in elaborate shape.
