Tendered Many Months Ago--Not a Full Blooded Negro--Diplomatic Reply to President Gregory. Interesting Correspondence. THE PRESIDENT QUOTED. After stating that it is uncertai The following correspondence between William R. Morris, Esq. of Minnesota, and President S. S. Gregory of the American Bar Association will no doubt prove to be interesting. Mr. Morris seemed to be content with "cornering" the Association to the extent of forcing it to go on record as debarring him from membership wholly and solely on account of his color. LETTER OF PRESIDENT OF BAR ASSN. TO WM. R. MORRIS. American Bar Association GREEN Chicago, May 1, 1912 WW. B. MORGAN, Eag., Dear Sir, "About the middle of March, the members of the Executive Committee of the American Bar Association were advised that you had been elected to membership. In the election last September under circum stances similar to those under which Mr. W. H. Lewis was elected in August of that year. ANSWER "I assume that you are familiar with the case of Mr. Lewis, but for your information enclose you a copy of my circular of March 5th, to the members of the Association and of my letter to Honorable Moorfield Storey of March 25th. These documents will perhaps sufficiently apprise you of the general attitude of Committee and particularly of my personal views on the subject. DIFFICULT TO CONVENE COMMITTEE. "It is very difficult at present to convene a meeting of the Executive Committee, and it is not my purpose to do so at present. The Committee, however, will undoubtedly meet at some time between now and the date of the annual meeting of the Association, August 27th next. What the Committee will do, if anything, with reference to your status, I cannot now say. "I write, however, to you at present on the subject for the purpose: "First, of avoiding any imputation of laches, which might be urged should the Committee not take immediate action." HINT TO RESIGN. "Second, for the purpose of giving you ample time to determine what course you desire to pursue in the matter and to take such measures as you deem proper for the assocation of such rights as you may feel that you have in the premises. "Third, that you may have an opportunity, should you so desire, of retiring from the Association before any action whatever is taken and without any publicity. You will have notice in due season of the time and place of any meeting of the Executive Committee at which this matter is to be brought up. "Yours truly, "S. S. GREGORY" WM. R. MORRIS' REPLY.

Gregory, President, "American Bar Association, "69 West Washington St., "Chicago, Ill., "My Dear Sir: "Since acknowledging receipt of your letter of May 1st, I have been carefully considering the subject mat ter there of and in reply thereto will say: "I note your circular letter of March 5th and your letter to the Honorable Moorhold Storey of March 15th, copied of which you send me for the purpose, as you say, of ap- prising me of the general attitude of the Executive Committee and of your own personal views, as to the personal election to membership of car- colored men, including myself. at what time the next meeting of the Executive Committee will be held although it will undoubtedly meet before the annual meeting of the Association next August, you say: "What the Committee will do, if anything, with reference to your status, I cannot now say. I write however, to you at present on the subject for the purpose: "First, of avoiding any imputation of laches, which might be urged should the Committee not take immediate action.

"You will have notice in due season of the time and place of any meeting of the Executive Committee, at which this matter is to be brought up." ALMOST NOT A NEGRO "It is true that I am a colored man, being five-eighths Negro blood. I am and have been for more than twenty years a lawyer of good standing, admitted and practicing in all the Minnesota courts, a member of the Minnesota State Bar Association and a regular attendant at its meetings. As to my standing at the bar and my general qualification, other than of race, for membership in the American Bar Association. I understand that no question is raised. As to any such qualifications, I would refer to any judge sitting in this state or to any member of the State Bar Association. DID NOT SEEK MEMBERSHIP. "I became a member of the American Bar Association without any application upon my part. My nomination, with that of other Minnesota lawyers, duly made and accredited according to the rules of the Association, was presented, as I understand it, to the Executive Committee and my election as a member was duly made by that Committee and confirmed by the Association. The notice of such nomination, with a request that I consent to join, received by me from the Secretary of the Association, was the first notice that I had that my name was to be or had been presented for membership. In answer to that notice I paid the usual fee which was requested and have since been and am still a regularly elected and qualified member of the Association. Your letter implies the possibility that the Executive Committee may decide to rescind my election and so oust me from my membership, although not until after a hearing, of which you assure due notice. "Your letter and its enclosures indicate that the only ground upon which such action might be contemplated would be the admitted fact of my race. As, therefore, no fact which might be considered as the grounds for such action could be controverted. I do not see how a hearing on the matter could possibly affect the decision of the Committee. QUESTIONS ITS AUTHORITY. "From your letter and its closures, I conclude that the basis for such action would be the fact that those who acted upon my election and its confirmation did so under a mistaken understanding as to my race,—that is, that there was a mistake in fact; and that if it had not been for this mistake in fact, my election would not have been made. I dispute the authority of the Executive Committee to strike members from the rolls, whether for the reasons stated or otherwise; and I maintain that a recision in favour of a completed membership in the Association, if it can be made at all, cannot be made except by the direct RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDA SEPTEMBER 14, 1912. The fantastic drill and concert given at Johnson's Auditorium, Friday night, September 6th under the management of Miss Rebecca T. Mitchell was a signal success. The battalion drill by the Pythian Cadets under command of Capt James H. Ammons was commendable and the Company A drill under command of Captain Charles Watkinson and Company B drill under Capt. Robert Green were creditable. The Athletic Drill was a unique performance and won the favor of the audience, while the Callasthetic Drill and the Signal Drill under the command of Col. Roscoe C. Mitchell was an innovation, for this section and created a profound impression upon all who witnessed it. The Drill of the Witches and the March of the West Virginia was a most pleasing feature.

Johnson's Auditorium was brilliantly lighted and the electric fans in different parts of this well equipped meeting place reduced the heat to a minimum.

Muttering aloud, she upbraids the absent Hallock because she has not killed "that man" and is not a murderer. Surpicion again points to Hallock. Judd also continues to shadow Hart. President Brewer, his daughter Heanor and party arrive. Lidgwood loves Eleanor. His cowardice a year before extradition leaves him, that he has been shot and is being his duty. Her attitude is friendly. Flemister helps Lidgerwood to meet him at Little River. Bpies follow Lidgerwood. Eleanor and her friends wish to accompany Lidgerwood to Little Hutte. Lidgerwood goes to train wreckers. Eleanor ridicules the tears. Judson follows a man he thinks is Hallock to Flemister's mills. Judson overhears Hallock and Flemister can to wrest Lidgerwood's train. They are joined by another man resembles Hallock and by Judson. Judson makes desperate efforts to avail a collision between Lidgerwood's train and a passenger train. Lidgerwood makes a stop at Lidgerwood's watchfulness saves his train. The passenger train is wrecked with loss of life. Lidgerwood suspects Flemister and Hallock. Lidgerwood learns that the wreckers will hang them Dawson suspects Gratley. CHAPTER NXX THE TERROR. ENGINEER JOHN JUDSON, dismounted at the moment when the superintendent had sent him back to bully Schlesinger into appointing him constable from the key of those who were most anxious to hear from him, was late in reporting. But when he finally climbed the stair of the Crow's Nest to tap at Lidgertwood's door he brought the first authentic news from the camp of the enemy. When McCloskey had come at a push of the call button Lidgertwood snapped the night latch on the corridor door. "Let us have it, Judson," he said when the traintmaster had dragged his chair into the circle of light described by the gibbon come shade of the dark lamp. "We have been wondering what had become of you." Summarized, Judson's story was the report of an intelligent scout. Since he was classed with the discharged men he had been able to find out some of the enemy's moves in the game of coercion. The strikers had transferred their headquarters from the Celestial to Cat Bigg's place, where the committees, jealously safeguarded, were now sitting "in permanence" in the back room. From the barroom talk Judson had gathered that the strikers knew nothing in yet of McCloskey's plan to keep the trains moving and the wires alive, hence unless the free flowing whisky should precipitate matters there would probably be no open outbreak before midnight. As an effort to this, however, the engineer had overboard enough to convince him that the Copah wire had been tapped; that Dix, the day operator, had been either bribed or intimidated and was now under guard at the strikers' headquarters and that some important message had been intercepted which was, in Judson's phrase, "raising sand" in the camp of the disaffected. This recurrence of the mysterious message, of which no trace could be found in the headquarters record, opened a fresh field of discussion, and it was McCloskey who put his finger upon the only plausible conclusion. "It is Hallock again," he rasped. "He is the only man who could have used the private code. Dix probably picked out the cipher. He's got a weakness for such things. Hallock's carrying double. He has fixed up some trouble making message or fakery one and signed your name to it and then achmed to lst it leak out through Dix." "It's making the trouble, all right." was Judson's comment. "When I left a few minutes ago Tryon was calling for volunteers to come down here and steel an engine. From what he said I took it they were almighty to go over into the desert to tear up the track and stop somebody or something coming this way from Copah. all on account of that make believable message that you didn't send." Thus for Judson's report had dealt with facts. But there were other things deducible. He insisted that the strength of the insurrection did not lie in the dissatisfied employees of the Red Butte Western or even in the employees; it was rather in the lawless element of the town, which lived and fattened upon the earnings of the railroad men. Moreover, it was certain that some one high in authority in the railroad service was furnishing the brains. There was a chief to whom all the malcontents deferred and who figured in the barroom task as the "boss" or the "big boss." "And that same big boss is sitting up yonder in Cat Gat's back room right now girls' his orders and being 'em what to do?" was Judson's crown guess, and since Hallock had not been visible since the early afternoon for the three men sitting under the superintendent's desk lamp Judson's inference stood as a fact assured. It was Hallock who had fomented the trouble. It was Hallock who was now directing it. The traimaster returned to his plex in the winer office, and Judson was sent back to Higgert to renew his search for the hidden ringleader. Judson's report was grave enough, but it brought a good hope that the cruel moment might be postponed until many of the men would be too far gone in liquor to take any active part. Lidgerwood took the precautions made advisable to Tryon's threat to steal an engine, sending word to Djesson to double his guards on the keevesmiles in the yard and to Dawson to block the turntable so that none might be taken from the throuthouse. Afterward he went out to look over the field in person. Everything was quiet, almost suspiciously so. Gridley was alone in his office at the shops smoking a cigar, with his charftilted to a comfortable angle and hufed on the desk. His guards, he said, were posted in and around the shops and he flipped they were not asleep. Thus far there had been little enough to keep them awake. Lidgerwood, passing out through the door opening upon the electric lighted yard, surprised a man in the set of turning the knob to enter. It was the nearest incident, and he would me have remarked it if the door, closing behind Gridley's visitor, had not be acted a violent outburst of profanity, vocalizing itself in the harb of the master mechanic, as thus: "You chuckle headed food! Have you any better sense than to come? With the impact of a blow Lidgerwood recognized the "chuckle headed food" of Gridley's malediction was Richard Rufford, the "killer" younger brother Lidgerwood, said nothing of this incident to Idawson, whom he found protting the roundhouse. Here, as the shops and in the yard, everything was quiet and orderly. The crews for the three sections of the midnight freight were all out, guarding the trains and engines, and Idawson but only Rufford and the roundhouse night men for company. "Nothing stirring, Fred?" require the superintendent. "Less than nothing. It's almost too quiet," was the roster reply and then "I see you haven't sent the Nadia out. Wouldn't it be a good scheme to get a couple of buckets and have the women and Judge Holcomb driven to our place on the mea? The trouble, when it comes, was come this way." Lidgerwood shook his head. "My stake in the Nadia is precisely the same size as yours. Feed, and I don't want to ask the backboard business. Well do a better thing than that if we have to let the president's party make a run for it. Get your smallest passenger for out on the table, head it over, and when I send for it rush it over to couple in the Nadia with Williams for engineer. Has Rison end any trouble in the yard?" "There has been nobody to make any. Tryen came down a few minutes ago considerably more than half sover and said he was ready to take his engine and the first section of the east bound midnight, which would have been his regular run. But he went back uptown peaceably when Benson told him he was down and out." Lidgerwood did not extend his round to include Benson's post at the yard office, which was below the cool chutes. Instead, he went over to the Nadia, thinking pointedly of the two added mysteries—the fact that Gridley had told a deliberate lie to account for his appearance in Angels and the other and more recent fact that the master mechanic was conferring with Rufford's brother, who was not and never had been in his department. Under the "umbrella roof" of the Nadia's rear platform the young people of the party were sitting out the early half of the perfect summer night. Lidgerwood awaived himself over the rolling and took a chair. "Has your strike materialized yet?" saked Miss Brewater. "No; it isn't due until midnight." "I don't believe there is going to be any." "Don't you? I wish I might share your incredulity—with reason." "Confess that you were a little bit overwrought this afternoon when you wanted to send us away. Weren't you?" "I only hope that the outcome will prove that I was," he rejoined patiently. "You still believe there will be tron ble?" "Yes." "Then I'm afraid you are still overwrought." she countered lightly. "Why, the very atmosphere of this beautiful night breathe peace." Before he could reply a man came up to the platform rolling, touched his cap and said, "Is Mr. Liddower wood here?" Liddower wood answered in parson, crooling to the rolling to bear Jedson's latest report, which was given in hoarse whispers. Miss Brewster could distinguish no word of it, but she beamed Lidgerwood's reply. "Tell Benson and Dawson and say that the engine I ordered had better be sent up at once." When Lidgerwood had resumed his chair he was promptly put upon the question rack of Miss Eleanor's curiosity. "Was that one of your scouts?" she asked. "Yes." "Did he come to tell you that there wasn't going to be any strike?" "No." "How lucidly communicative you are! 'Can't you see that I am fairly stiffing with curiosity?' "I'm sorry, but you shall not have the chance to say that I was overwrought twice in the same half day.'" "Howard, don't be little and spiteful. I eat humble pie and call myself hard names if you insist, only—gracious goodness, is that engine going to smash into our car?" The anxious query hinged itself upon the approach of a big eight wheeled passenger flier which was thundering down the yard on the track occupied by the Nadia. Within half a car length of collision the air brake broke, the side rods clanked and chattered, and the shuddering monster rolled gently backward to a touch coupling with the president's car. Eleanor's hand was on her cousin's arm. "Howard, what does this mean?" she demanded. "Nothing just at present. It is morely n precaution." "You are not going to take us away from Angels?" "Not now—not at all unless your safety demands it." Then he rose and spoke to the others. "I'm sorry to have to shut off your moon vistas with that noisy beast, but it may be necessary to move, the car later on. Don't get out of touch with the Nadin, any of you, please." He had waited the handrail and was saying good night when Eleanor left her chair and entered the car. He was not greatly surprised to find her waiting for him at the steps of the forward vestibule when he had gone so far on his way to his office. "One moment," she pleaded. "I'll be good. Howard, and I know that there is danger. He very careful of yourself, won't you, for my sake?" He stopped short, and his arms went out to her. Then his self control returned, and his refouler was almost bitter. "Eleanor, you must not! You tempt me past endurance. Go back to Van, to the others, and, whatever happens, don't let any one leave the car." "I'll do anything you say, only you must tell me where you are going." she insisted. "Certainly. I am going up to my office, where you found me this afternoon. I shall be there from this on if you wish to send any word. I'll see that you have a messenger. Goodbye." At the top of the corridor stair McCloskey was waiting for him. "Judson has told you what's due to happen" queried the trainmaster. "He told me to look for swift trouble; that somebody had betrayed your strike breaking scheme." "He says they'll try to keep the eastbound freights from going out." "That would be a small matter. But we mustn't lose the moral effect of taking the first trick in the game. Are the sections all in line on the long siding?" "Yes." "Good. We'll start them a little ahead of time and let them kill back to schedule after they get out on the road. Send Bogard down with their clearance cards and phone Benson at the yard office to couple them up into one train, engine to the caboose in front, and send them out solid. When they have cleared the danger they can split up and take the proper time intervals—ten minutes apart." "Call it done," said the dispatcher, and he went to carry out the order. Two minutes later Bogard, the night relief operator off duty, darted out of the dispatcher's room with the clearance cards, for the three sections. Lidggerwood stopped him in midnight. "One second, Robert. When you have done your errand and back to the president's car, ask for Miss Brunet and say that I sent you. You stay within call and be ready to whatever she wants you to do." Rogard did the first part of his rand swiftly. Synchronized as perfectly as if a single throttle lever controlled them all, the three heavy freight pullers blissed, strained, beached fire, and the long train began to move out. It was Lidgerwood's challenge to the outhaws, and as if the blasts of the three tearing exhausts had been the signal it was awaiting the strike storm broke with the suddenness and fury of a tropical hurricane. From a hundred bliding places in the car strewn yard men came running, some to swarm thickly upon the moving engines and cabooses, others swinging by the drawheads to cut the air brake hose. Benson was swept aside and overpowered before he could strike a blow. Bogard, speeding across to take his post beside the Nadia, was struck down before he could get clear of the pouring hornet swarm. Shots were fired; shrill yells arose. Into the midst of the clamor the great siren whistle at the shops boomed out the fire alarm, and almost at the same instant a red glow, capped by a rolling nimbus of sooty oil smoke, rose to beacon the destruction already begun in the shop yards. And while the rear of the siren was still jarring upon the windless light air the electric light circuits were cut, leaving the yards and the Crow's Nest in darkness and the frantic battle for the trains to be lighted only by the moon and the hurdled glow of destruction spreading slowly under its canopy of smoke. In the Crow's Nest the sudden comp of the striker's had the effect which its originator had doubtless counted upon. It was some minutes after the lighter were cut off and the firemen had swept past the captured and disabled trains to the shore before Lidgerwood. FROM A HUNDRED HIDING PLACES MAN CAME RUNNING. could get his small garrison together and send it, with Mt. Cheoksey, for its leader, to re-enforce the siege, which was presumably fighting desperately for the control of the power plant and the fire pumps. Only Mt. Cheoksey's protest and his own anxiety for the safety of the Nadia's company kept Lidgerwood from leading the little relief column of loyal trimmers and headquarters clerks in person. The host of battle was in his blood, and for the time the shrinking palay of physical fear held aloft. When the sally of the trimmaster and his forlorn hope squand had left the office story of the headquarters building almost deserted it was the force of mere mechanical habit that sent Lidgerwood back to his room to close his desk before going down to order the Nadia out of the zone of immediate danger. There was a chair in his way, and in the darkness and in his haste he stumbled over it. When he recorde For the first rememberable time in his Life Howard Lidgerwood met the challenge of violence joyfully, with every muscle and nerve singing the battle song and a huge willingness to slay or be slain arming him for the hand to hand struggle. Twice he drove the lighter of the two to the wall with well planted blows, and once he got a deadly wrestler's hold on the tall man and would have killed him if the free accomplice had not torn his locked nuggets apart by main strength. But it was two against one, and when it was over the conflagration light reddening the southern windows sufficed for the knotting of the piece of hemp lashing with which the two masked gargowers were binding their victim in his chair. Meanwhile the pandemonium raging at the shopa was beginning to surge backward into the railway yard. Some one had fired a box car, and the upblaze centered a fresh fury of destruction Up at the head of the three sectioned freight train a mad mob was cutting the leading locomotive free. Dawson, crouching in the roundhouse door directly opposite, knew all that Julison could tell him, and he instantly divined the purpose of the engine thieves. They were preparing to send the freight engine eastward on the desert division main line to collide with and wreck whatever came. The thundered deed wrought fear before the drifftman could even attempt to prevent it. A man spun at the door of the fire and forced leisurely the throttle open, staring at the levers long enough to touch to the most offensive cutoff for spree and jumped for his life. Dawson was deliberate, but got snow witted. While the alarmed engineer was yet only gathering speed to the eastward dash he was slowing the struggling rioters in the way he was purposeful for the city's awakening to the runaway—namely, the big whicker coupled to the problem's car. He set the switch to the main line as he passed it, but there was no time to uncouple the engine from the private car, so if he had been willing to leave the woman he loved and those with her helpless in the midst of the rioting. So there no more than a gasped out word to Williams as he climbed to the cab before the eight wheeler, with the Nadia in tow, shot away from the Crow's Nest platform. And it was not until the car was growing angrily over the yard limit switches that Van Lew burst into the central compartment like a man demented to demand excitement of the three women who were clinging, terror stricken, to Judge Holcombe: "Who has seen Miss Eleanor? Where is Miss Eleanor?" ONLY Miss Brewster herself could have answered the question of her whereabouts at the exact moment of Van Lew's asking. She was left behind, standing against in the midst of tumuli, on the platform of the Grow's Nept. Terrorised, like the others, at the sudden outburst of violence, she had ventured from the car to look for Lidgervood's messenger, and in the moment of frightened bewilderment the Nadia had been whisked away. Naturally her first impulse was to fly, and the only refuge that offered was the superintendent's office on the second floor. The stairway door was only a little distance down the platform, and she was presently groping her way up, the light through the up per corridor windows enabling her to go directly to the open door of the superintendent's office. But when she reached the door and lapped within the trembling terror returned and held her spellbound, speechless, unable to move or even to cry out. What she saw fitted itself to nothing real. It was more like a scene clipped from a play. Two masked men were covering with revolvers a third, who was tied helpless in a chair. The captive's face was ghastly and blood stained, and at first she thought he was dead. Then she saw his lips move in curious twitchings that showed his teeth. He seemed to be trying to speak, but the ruffian at his right would not give him leave. The twisting lips were contended with what appeared to be an almost superhuman effort, but the word came jerkly. "What would my word, extorted under such conditions, be worth to you?" Eleanor could hear in spite of the terror that would not let her cry out or run for help. He was yielding to them, bargaining for his life! "We'll take it." said the spokesman coolly. "If you break faith with us, there are more than two of us who will see to it that you don't live long enough to bring about it. You've had your day, and you've got to go." "And if I refuse?" Eleanor made sure that the voice was steadied now "It's thicker and now," grated the taller man, who had hitherto kept silence, and he cocked his revolver and jammed the muzzle of it against the bleeding temple of the man in the chair. The captive straightened himself as well as his bonds would let him. "You—you've let the psychological moment go by, gentleman. I—I've got my second wind. You may burn and destroy and shoot as you please, but while I'm alive I'll stay with you. Please away, if that's what you want to do." The horrow stricken watcher at the door covered her face with her hands to shut out the sight of the murder. It was not until Lidgerwood's voice, calm and even toned and taunting, broke the silence that she ventured to look again. "Well, gentlemen, I'm waiting. Why don't you shoot? You are greater cowards than I have ever been, with all my shivering and teeth chattering. Don't the stake big enough to warrant your last desperate play? I'll make it bigger. You are the two men who broke the rail joint at Silver Switch. Ah, that hits you, doesn't it?" "Shut up!" growled the tall man, with a frightful imprecation. But the smaller of the two was silent. Lidgerwood's grin was ghastly, but it was nevertheless a teeth baring of defiance. "You cure!" he scoffed. "You haven't even the courage of your own necessities! Why don't you pluck up the PARKER WHILE I'M ALIVE I'LL STAY WITH YOU nerve to shoot and be done with it! I'll make it still more binding upon you. If you don't kill me now while you have the chance, as God is my witness, I'll hang you both for those murders last night at Silver Switch! I know you in spite of your simmy disguise. I can call you both by name! Out in the yard the yellings and shoutings had taken on a new note, and the windows of the upper room were jarring with the thunder of incoming trains. Eleanor Brewster beard the new sounds vaguely—the jangle and clank of the trains, the quick steady tramp of disciplined men, snapped out words of command, the sudden cessation of the riot clamor and now a shuffling of feet on the stairway behind her. Still she could not move, still she was speeches and spellbound, but no longer from terror. Her cousin—her lover—how she had misjudged him. He a coward—this man who was holding his two executioners at bay, quelling them, cowing them by the absoar force of the stronger will and of a courage that was infinitely greater than theirs! The shuffling footsteps came nearer, and once again Lidgerwood straight, himself in his chair, this time with a mighty struggle that broke the knotted cords and freed him. "I said I could name you, and I will" he cried, springing in his feel "You," pointing to the smaller man "you are Pennington Flounder, and you," wheeling upon the tail man and hovering his voice—"you are Rankin McBuck!" "The light of the are in the ship yard and light down until its red glow." Kinger drove the shadows from the corners of the room. Minister shrank inside when a down man pushed their way into the private office. They suddenly the electric lights went on, and a grue voice said: "Drop them guns you two! The show's over." It was McCloskey who gave the order, and it was obeyed silently. With the clatter of the weapons on the floor the door of the outer office opened with a jerk, and Judson thrust a hand cuffed prisoner of his own capturing into the lighted room. "There he is, Mr. Lidgerwood," snarled the engineer-constable. "I nabbed him over yonder at the fire working to put it out, just as if he hadn't told his gang to go and set it." "Hallock!" exclaimed the superintendent, starting as if he had seen a ghost. "How is this? Are there two of you?" Hallock looked down moodily. "There were two of us who wanted your job, and the other one needed to badly enough to wreck trains and to kill people and to lead a lot of pilo-headed trainmen and mechanics into a riot to cover his tracks." Lidgerwood turned quickly. "Unmask those men. McCloskey." "Good heavens, Eleanor!" he gambled. "What are you doing here?" And he faced her about quickly and led her into the corridor left she should see the distorted features of the victim of Hallock's vengeance. "I came—they took the car away, and I—I was left behind," she faltered, and then: "Oh, Howard, take me away, hide me somewhere! It's too horrible." There was a bull bellow of rage from the room they had just left, and Lidgerwood hurried his companion into the first refuge that offered, which chanced to be the trainmaster's room. Out of the private office and into the corridor came the taller of the two garroters, holding his mask in place as he ran, with McCloskey, Judeon and all but one or two of the others in hot pursuit. Notwithstanding the fugitive gained the stair and fell rather than ran to the bottom. There was the crash of a bursting door, a soldierly command of "Hall": the crack of a cavalry riffle and McCloskey came back, wiping his homely face with a bandanna. "They got him," he said. And then, seeing Eleanor for the first time, his jaw dropped, and he tried to apologize. "Excuse me, Miss Brewster. I didn't have the least idea you were up here." "Nothing matters now," said Eleanor, pale to the lips. "Come in here and tell us about it. And—and—is mamma safe?" "Sho's downstairs in the Nada with the others, where I supposed you were," McCloskey began, but Lidger-good heard the feet of those who were carrying Flemister's body from the chamber of horrors, and, quickly shutting the door on sight and sounds, started the trainmaster on the story which must be made to last until the way was clear of things a woman should not see. "Who was the tall man?" he asked. "I thought he was Hallock—I called him Hallock." The trainmaster shook his head. "They're about the same build, but we were all off wrong, Mr. Lidgerwood-way off. It's been Gridley-Gridley and his side partner, Flemister, al. along. Gridley was the man who jumped the passenger at Crosswater hills and took up the rail to ditch Clay's freight, with Hallock chasing him and trying to prevent it. Gridley was the man who helped Flemister last night at Silver Switch, with Hallock trying again to stop him and Judson trying to keep tab on Hallock and getting him maked up with Gridley at every turn, even to mistaking Gridley's voice and his shadow on the window curtain for Hallock's. Gridley was the man who stole the switch engine and ran it over the old Wire Silver spur to the mine to sell it to Flemister for his mine power plant. They've got it boxed up and running there right now. Gridley is the man who has made all this strike trouble, bossing the job to get you out and to get himself in so he could cover up his thieveries. Gridley was the man who put up the job with Bart Rufford to kill you, and Judson mistook his voice for Hallock's that time too Gridley was"— "Hold on, Mac. "interrupted the superintendent. "How did you learn all this?" "Part of it through some of his men, who have been coming over to us in the last half hour and giving him away; part of it through Dick Rufford, who was keeping tab on him for the money, he could squeeze out of him afterward." "How did Rufford come to tell you? Why, Bradford—that is—the two Ruffords started a little shooting match with Andy, and—m—well, Bart panned out for keeps this time, but Dick lived long enough to tell Bradford a few things—for old cow boy times' sake, I suppose. I'll never put it all over any man again as long as I live, Mr. Aldridgewood, after rubbing it into Hallick the way I did when he was doing his level best to help us out. But they're pretty his own fruit. He wanted to play a lense and he was aching to get them both into the same frying pan—Grindley and Flounder." Adridgewood nodded. "He had a pretty bitter grudge against Flounder." McCooky soberly. Then he added: "Tie a few thousand dollars saved up that says that Rankin Hallock isn't going to hang for what he did in the other room a few minutes ago. I know it would come to that if the time ever ripened right suddenly, and I tried to find Judson to choke him off. But John got in ahead of me." Lidgerwood switched the subject abruptly in deference to Blenner's deep breathing. "I must take Miss Brewster to her friend. You say the Nadia is back? Who moved it without orders?" The she's back, all right, and Dawson is the man who comes is for the blessing. He wanted an engine—needed one right bed—and he couldn't wait to uncouple the car. It was Hallock who sent that message to Mr. Lockhard that we've been hearing so much about, and it was a beeg for the loan of a few of Uncle Sam's boys from Fort McCook. Gridley got on to it through Dix, and he also cut us quit of Mr. Lockhard's answer telling us that the cavalry boys were on TDs. By Gridley's orders the two Ruffords and some others turned an engine loose to run down, the road for a head-end with the freight that was bringing the soldiers. Dawson chased the runaway engine with the coupled up Nadia out caught it just in the time of time to prevent a collision with TD and brought it back. He's down in the car now, with one of the young women crying on his neck, and"— Miss Brewster got up out of her chair, found she could stand without tottering and said: "Howard, I must go back to mamma. She will be perfectly frantic if some one hasn't told her that I am safe. We can go now, can't we, Mr. McCloskey? The trouble is all over, isn't it?" The trainmaster nodded gravely. "It's over, all but the paying of the bills. That rifle shot we heard a little spell ago settled it. No, he isn't dead—this in answer to Lidgerwood's unspoken question—but it will be a heap better; for all concerned if he doesn't get over it. You can go down, Lieutenant Holdin has posted his men around the shops and the Crow's Nest." Together they left the shelter of the trainmaster's room and passed down the dark stairs and out upon the platform, where the cavalrymen were mounting guard. There was no word spoken by either until they reached the Nadin's forward vestibule, and then it was Lidgerwood who broke the silence to say, "I have discovered something tonight. Eleanor I'm not quite all the different kinds of a coward I thought I was." "Don't tell me," she said in keen self-representation, and her voice thrilled him like the subtle melody of a passion song. "Howard, dear, II'm sitting in backcloth and ashes. I saw it all with my own eyes, and I could neither run nor scream. Oh, it was splendid! I never dreamed that any man could rise by the three power of his will to such a pinnacle of courage. Does that make amends—just a little? And won't you come to breakfast with us in the morning and let me tell you afterward how miserable I've been—how I fairly nagged father into bringing this party out here so that I might have an excuse to—" He forgot the fierce strife so lately ended, forgot the double victory he had won. "But—but Van, Lew," he stammered—"he told me that you—that he—" And then he took her in his arms and kissed her, while a young man with a bandaged head—a man who answered to the name of Jack Benson and who was basting up to get permission to go home to Faith Dawson—turned his back considerably and walked away. "What were you going to say about Herbert?" she murmured when he let her have breath enough to speak with. "I was merely going to remark that he can't have you now, not if he were ten thousand, accepted lovet." She escaped from his arms and ran lightly up the steps of the private car. And from the safe vantage ground of the half opened door she turned and mocked him. "Silly boy," she said softly. "Can't you read print when it's large enough to shout at all the world? Herbert and Carolyn have been 'announced' for more than three months, and they are to be married when we get back to New York. That's all. Good night, and don't you dare to forget your breakfast engagement!" THE END. Needle the Thread. "If any one tells you there is nothing new under the sun," remarked a well dressed woman to her friend in the car, "don't you believe it. I have just come from a sowing class in a public school, and what do you think the teacher asked me as she explained things?" "Cannot imagine," answered the friend. "She said. Do you thread your needle or needle your thread?" "What a funny question! What is the difference?" demanded the friend. difference demanded the friend. "Just try it." promptly responded the other. "Threading the needle is all wrong. Just take the needle in the right hand and needle your thread and see how much easier it is. I only wish I had known it twenty years ago." - New York Sun.

THE AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION AND THE COLOR LINE. The attitude of the officers and Executive Committee of the American Bar Association towards Hon. William H. Lewis, Assistant Attorney General, based wholly and solely upon his color is without a parallel in the history of this country. It shows that great principles no longer find a lodging place in many of the leading characters now practicing before the American bar. It has shown that the source of our supply of judges is tainted and that this fact accounts for the corruption now valid to exist upon the bench in many parts of the United States. It accounts too for the agitation for the recall of judges and judicial decisions. If men of the law, jurists, would claim that members of the legal profession, in good standing, who had been regularly admitted as members of the American Bar Association could be debarred from membership wholly and solely upon the basis of their color, and without one lota of law to sustain such a position, what chance would these name colored men have in a court presided over by any one of these lawyers, who rendered such an opinion? Attorney General George W. Wickersham was equal to the emergency and the fight which he made will not only endear him to all right thinking people but will attract to him the favorable attention and commendation of the civilized world. A most significant fact in connection with the action of the American Bar Association itself was the adoption by that body of a report denouncing as "dangerous to the country" all movements for the recall of judges or of judicial decisions. On the next breath, so to speak, this Association adopted a resolution recognizing the color line and virtually asserting, that the race of an applicant would be a bar to membership, thus demonstrating the necessity of the exercise of the very power which the Association had but a few moments condemned. How to Clean Varnished Paper. When varnished paper becomes dust covered it may be cleaned in this manner: To a pall half full of warm water add two tablespoonfuls of ammonia. Wash the paper with this mixture, using a flannel cloth. Then to a pall half full of water add two tablespoonfuls of turpentine. With a piece of chamois wipe the surface of the paper. This produces a polish. Certainly if a great body of jurists could not be trusted to expound and execute their own laws free from bias and race prejudice, certainly they cannot be trusted to expound and execute the laws of the United States. It is interesting too to note that the compulsory resolution adopted was offered by a Democrat, Hon. Jacob M. Dickinson, who had served as the cabinet of a Republican President. It is as follows. Whatever three persons of the colored race were elected to membership in this Association without knowing how upon the part of those elected them that they were of that race and are new members of this Association. Revolved That as it power hath been compelled that members of the committee from should become members of the committee the severance of all members directed if any member of them be removed a person of the committee be taken for membership and a person of the committee be removed that person be removed of the fact that the committee was withdrawn open and be reopened It is proposed that the valuation of the three members be made that that member of any who might come together The entire affair a week before the meeting in the American Bar Association.

BRAXTON, Notary Public My commission expires 1st day of March, 1913. Plurality For Governor Is Over 3000 and Senator and Congressman Gained by G. O. P. Maine emerged from the state election, in which the Republicans were victorious, to find herself facing another political contest, with five parties instead of four in the race for the six presidential electoral votes. The Progressive party, whose leaders had joined with the Republicans in Monday's election, came into being after the announcement of the election of William T. Haines for governor, three out of four representatives to congress and a majority in the legislature which will choose a United States senator. Former Congressman Edwin C. Burholl received the Republican presidential vote for senator at the recent primaries. Revised returns for governor give: Haines, Republican, Jones, Plasted, Democrat, G. O. P., Haines' plurality, 3032 Plastics' plurality in 1914 was 8600. Complete official legislative returns show that there will be twenty three Republicans to eight Democrats in the Senate and seventy nine Republicans and seventy two Democrats in the House, during the Republican 1922 on a joint ballot and the Democrat eighty. Interest elicited in the action of the Progressive leaders The Republicans and Democrats have already nominated their presidential electors. The Progressives, Republicans and Socialists, and being recognized officially, will make their nomination of electors by petition. Halbert P. Gardner, in announcing the position of the Progressive Acl. "The Progressive party, as a party, does not take credit for the result of the election, although the Progressive element in the Republican party was the fight for Mr. Haines. It did this in order to carry, not the agreement made with the Republican leaders and also because the Progressive, has taken part in the Republican primary and felt bound to abide by the verdict then rendered. "The Progressive party of Maine came into evidence for the first time. From now on it will seek election for Roosevelt presidential elections in Maine." Chairman John P. S. Wilson, of the Democratic state committee, declared that the results were encouraging. He said that the split in the Republican party meant the election in November of the Democratic presidential elections. The Republican leaders were reticent about the future Chairman Warren C. Philbrook, of the state committee, while expressing satisfaction over the result of the election, refused to say what his plans were for the presidential campaign. 28 INJURED IN: WRECK Express Train Leaves Track at High Speed, But No One Is Killed. While running fifty miles an hour the eastbound passenger train No. 6 on the Nickle Plate railroad, was ditched by spreading rails at the Fargo road crossing, Wareleyville, near Brio, Pa., injuring twenty eight persons, none of them fatally. After bowling along for sixty feet, four humanladen coaches plunged over a twenty foot embankment. That none were killed is a miracle. A scene of horror followed the crash of the coaches down the hill. Inside the cars the people were jammed about and together in a frightful mass. The second baggage car, smoker and one day coach were thrown over the embankment, turning turtle. The front end of the diner was buried several feet into the mud, the rear end remaining upon the track. The engine and first baggage car did not leave the rails. How to Make a Food Truck A very simple bead tassel can be made from deep fringe or from loose beads. If you use loose beads you must thread forty lengths of seventy beads each or twenty lengths of 130 beads if a double end is preferred to a single one. Each length is attached to a narrow strip of satin ribbon, which is then wound round and round and stitched through to prevent the middle of the little bundle from slipping. If the tassel is made of fringe cut off five inches and wrap the heading round and sew as described above. Next take a piece of stiffening one inch and a half long, two inches broad at one end and three quarters of an inch at the other. Cover with silk and oversee the edges together so as to form a tube. Suit the satin ribbon inside the larger aperture in the tube and stitch through securely, for the beads make tassel very heavy. Thread about 200 beads and wind the string round the tube to completely cover the silk, sewing at intervals. Make another string of eighty beads, double into three and sew to the top to form a loop. vote of the Association itself. RECOGNIZES IT AS SOCIAL BODY. "I appreciate the fact that the American Bar Association is a purely social organization and that it may arbitrarily reject candidates or elect members without cause and regardless of the question of qualifications. I am informed by you that I have been, by reason of a mistaken unintending as to my race, made a member, such a social body, although without upon my own part, any fault or any participation in the mistake referred to; and further that the Association as a whole would now object to the retention by me of my membership and would it opportunity were afforded, desire to have my name stricken from the membership rolls. WILL NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE. "I am not one who desire or will willing in any degree to take advantage of any mistake nor to obtrude myself nor my name into a membership list with those who consciously and considerably object to the presence of myself or my name in that capacity. I appreciate the Twentieth Century amenities of social intercourse, even as connected with a profession of which I am proudly a member, and this, too, even as respects membership in a National Association of experts in American Law and Jurisdiction, which Association, you as its representative head assert, is governed by a policy repignant to the Twentieth Century appreciation of the spirit of our National Government, of its Constitution of the social institutions of the entire national life, and of the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. For the reason above outlined I hereby make the following TENDER OF RESIGNATION I hereby tender to you not a chairman nor a member of the Executive Committee, but as President of the American Bar Association my dedication is a member of that Association, whose tender is made upon the following conditions: That if you designation, shall be taken, be sent until and after the conclusion of my statements of connection with the growth, shall have been presented to the American Bar Association at the regular annual meeting, shall be bequeathed and sent upon by salt Association in the due course of business. THE END CAME QUICKLY "15. That if by vote daily made at such meeting, the Association shall accept this tender of resignation, then my resignation shall take effect and my name shall be dropped from the membership polls. "16. In case of such acceptance by the Association, such acceptance shall be on the understanding, and shall be so expressed in the vote taken upon such acceptance that the sole ground for such action by the Association is the fact that I am of the Negro race.

The instant fault is found careful investigation should be made to uncertain the remote cause. Immediate action should be taken, and the fire, instead of developing a chronic case of trouble, will stand a chance of running a mileage perhaps twice or three times as long as otherwise possible, says J. B. Cox. Underinflation, overloading and improper alignment are cells that are common, but close attention will easily detect them. Road conditions also play an important part in the life of tires. Stone bruises and cuts are ruinous to automobile tires. Take the trouble early in the game, use a little plastic or quick repair gum and fix the cut or the bruise, and perhaps the unexpected blowout will be avoided. Outside these common faults there are others none the less important which undermine the life and strength of a tire. Nurse your tires and give them close scrutiny. A word on inflation. It is common practice among car owners to drive their cars on tires not properly inflated. This is altogether wrong if the life of tires is taken into consideration. The car may ride a little easier, but the owner pays dearly for his luxury Underinflation means a short life for the automobile tire. Tire manufacturers recognize that more trouble is caused by underinflation than from any other cause. No motorist should be without a reliable air gauge, and tires should be kept at the prescribed pressure, twenty pounds an inch of the upper section. For instance, if a tire is four inches, then the pressure of air in the tire should be eighty pounds. Overloading is a common fault among motorists. It is not unusual to see eight or nine persons riding in a seven passenger car. It is frequently said that 5 per cent added to the weight of a car adds 15 per cent to the wear and tear of tires. So it can easily be seen what the effect of overloading has on the life of tires. It means frequent punctures and blowouts and early ruitation. Brakes not properly adjusted are also hard on tires. One brake may be working more freely than the other, and one tire consequently may be compelled to stand all the strain of stopping the car. Adjust your brakes often. Be careful also not to run in car tracks or against curves or in ruts. The side walls of a tire are as a rule, thin and built to give the greatest resilience. A motorist should be extra careful to protect his tires at this point. A PRECAUTION How to Act if You Are Suddenly Thrown into the Water. Keep cool. Do not feel alarmed if your head should sink below the surface once or twice. You are bound to come to the surface. Keep your hands under the water. Even though you do not swim you are bound to float for a considerable time, provided you keep your hands below the surface. Most people drawn because directly they come to the surface they raise their hands above the surface and shout for help. Keep the mouth closed until the body attains the floating position; then try to breathe naturally through the mouth. Propto yourself all you can with your hands. If you have any knowledge whatsoever about swimming try to remove your clothing. The longer you are in the water the more water soaked it becomes and the quicker you will sink. When help comes to you do just as you are told, and, above all else, do not attempt to size hold of the swimmer who is trying to aid you. How to Bake In Boxes Boxes of all descriptions may be profitfully used for cake baking, as they retain the moisture well. Taking them out, you have the sides of the cake straight and fine for lying in removing simply break down the sides and leave on bottom. Bake fruit cake with a lid on the box and layer cake in large, shallow lids. Cookies can also be baked this way. If any housewife falls to find among her ties exactly what she wants a trip to the nearest grocery or confectioner will fill her needs perfectly. The clean white boxes are the best. Grease them well and put extra grated paper in the bot How to Whiten Towels Oftimes the towels become gray and dingy looking. Treat them in this manner, and they will become white again. Place them in a kettle and cover with cold water. Add shavings of pure white soap and the juice of a lemon. Place on the back of the stove and allow the water to gradually come to a boil. If very much soiled the process may have to be repaired. Else in tepid water, then in a slightly blue water, and hang in the air to dry. How to Save Linen. If you desire to store your linen for any length of time never starch it. It will crack and wear more quickly than if constantly in use. Rinse the articles quite free from starch, dry and fold away in blue paper. This will prevent them from turning yellow. How to Improve Lamp Wick. When a lamp wick is too large for a burner and will not turn up or down easily and evenly, draw two or three threads from the middle of the wick How to Separate Mone In these autumn months, when automobiles are almost as thick as tires and automobiles are covered with one another's dust, veils are in constant use, and unless they are well cared for a few days' wear of one veil reduces it to a dirty rag, it only for the rubbish heap. Many people prefer to throw a veil away rather than wear it with the smell of gasoline clinging to it. Every one known that few chiffon veils survive washing more than twice and gasoline seems to be the only cleanser. This is not so, however. There is a cleaning fluid which will not only restore the veil to its former freshness, but it is also antiseptile and destroys the thousands of germs caught in the chiffon from the dust of the road. This is alcohol. The fact that alcohol is even more powerful than gasoline as a cleanser is very little known and will prove a welcome bit of news to the woman who finds the odor of the gasoline fumes so unpleasant. The cleaning is simplicity itself. Fill a bowl with alcohol; then put the veil in and let it soak a short while; then lift the veil gently and sop it up and down in the liquid. Never rub the chiffon, nor should it be wring out. Lifting it up and down will take all the dirt and dust from its folds. When it is quite clean shake it out as you would shake a handkerchief. Rubbing and wringing only pull apart the close weave of the veil and spoil its after appearance. The alcohol evaporates very quickly, leaving a fresh, clean odor to the article, which will prove a welcome substitute to the fumes of gasoline. HOW TO WOO SLEEP. A Specialist Tells How to Take the Tension Out of Nerves. The great secret of beauty, according to a medical writer, is sound, refreshing sleep every night in the year. But how to obtain it is rather a puzzle in those days of high string nerves. Many people find themselves more wakeful than ever when they go to bed, and an hour is wasted in acute restlessness of body and mind. A specialist on nervousness suggests as a method which he has found personally useful for wooing sleep the following course of procedure: "First lie in the most comfortable position that can be discovered, usually on the right side, with the knees slightly flexed. "Then, having lightly closed the lips, drop the lower jaw and relax the tongue, gently shut the eyes and draw the beetles over the left ear. "Next proceed to relax more muscles, beginning at the feet, legs, thighs and arms, believing each in turn to be a heavy weight bearing upon the bed, and, lastly, imagine that the eyes are looking far away to the distant horizon. "The attention is to be taken up with this relaxing process all around that thinking presently causes and the imagination, instead of running riot at its own erratic will, is set to play on something definitely nothing, and the person moon falls sleep. The desirable result is more readily brought about by the slowing and shallowing of the breathing."

Griggs, the famous orator and author has brought to light an array of facts and has unfolded a line of reasoning that is quietly transforming the thought-life of the whites of the South on the race question. Dr. J. G. Merrill, ex-President of Fisk University says: "I have heard so much of Wisdom's Call that I wish a copy of it. Send it to me." Bishop I. B. Scott of the M. E. Church, says: "I believe it will change conditions in the South if it is read by any considerable number of the leaders of that section." Hon. Noah W. Cooper, one of Tennessee's most, widely known white lawyers, says: "It is really a wonderful book, full of the finest philosophy, choicest rhetoric and Christian ideas. Rev. Mr. Griggs is manifestly a great thinker, a GENIUS and a statesman." The Chief of Police of Bartow, Fl., says: "That book has changed my life, the race question. I see that we white people can change our treatment of the Negroes." THE ORION PUB. CO. EAST STATEN, NASHVILLE, TN EEE ie EEG Ee oa 7 g eg * 1 od these ea a! rt a : : ; as 5" Wemt wild.

Lesson XI.—Third Quarter, For Sept. 15, 1912. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Matt, xi, 20-30. Memory Verses, 28, 30—Golden Text, Matt, xi, 28—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. This lesson is another step backward in the regular sequence of events, but it matters comparatively little, as He is the heart of every lesson, and the book is given to us that we may know God, who can be known only through Jesus Christ, as we shall say before we have finished the lesson. Our attention is caught first by the three references to His mighty works (verse 20), 21, 22, and we remember that the say on one occasion "If I do not the works of My Father believe Me not." But If I do, though ye believe not Me, believe the works, that ye may know and believe that the Father is in Me and in Him" (John x, 27, 28). In Daniel's national autumn, which was written long ago and which they will sing when the kingdom comes, they will exhort one another to declare His doings, for He hath done excellent things (Isa. xx, 40). In their great power they are repeatedly urged to talk of all His works works (Isa. xx, 41; vv. 3, cv. 2, cv. 1, 2). We should not mention it before on the His dealings with Neah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Israel's deliverance from Egypt, and all His subsequent dealings with them, then remember that He who did these mighty works in Shorazin, Bethsaida, Caesar name, is the same person whom we saw working from creation onward, who was born as the Son of Mary in Bethlehem, but whose goings forth have been from old, from the days of eternity (Muc v. 2, margin). Mark His "I say unto you" (verses 22, 20) and remember that it is the same as the "thus saith the Lord" of the Old Testament, and it stands to all eternity. He is speaking as the Judge when He talks of the future of Tyre and Sidon and Sodom and I the day of judgment and says that it will be more tolerable for them than for the cities in which He did His mighty works, for the Father Judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son (John v. 22). What this "more tolerable" may mean we cannot know certainly, but we do know that there are degrees in punishment, many stripes and few stripes, as there are also degrees in glory—every one punished or rewarded according to their doings (Jer. xvii, 12). Jer. xvii, 10). Salvation is the same for all and wholly of grace apart from any works of ours, but the rewards for the savet will be according to service. All who reject Christ are lost, but punishment will be according to desert. As to the day of judgment, it will cover a thousand years, saved people being judged; service at the judgment seat of Christ and the nations after that, when the rosemond come with Christ in glory, both of those judgments at the beginning of the thousand years—the judgment of the great white throne for the rest of the dead at the end of the thousand years. The Lord is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance (H. Pet. III, 30, and one of His last commands before His ascension was that repentance and remission of sins should be prescribed in His name among all nations (Luke xvii, 47). Even after the church shall have caught up, when the campuses shall be sounded and the visits of wrath pointed out. It will be in order that men may repent (Rev. ix, 20, 21; xxl, 9, 11). The wisdom of this world cannot receive these or any other truths of God and is increasingly rejecting the whole word of God, and thus we learn that we are fast hearing the end of this ungodly age and the dawn of a better one. Let us be glad to be the little children, the babies, who believe every word that our Heavenly Father has told us, and let us not forget that the world by its wisdom, whether in the pulpit or the pew or the professor's chair, does not and cannot know God (I Cor. 1, 21). It is better to know God than to possess the riches or wisdom or might of this world, but it requires true humility and poverty of spirit, and that the proud, rebellious, carnal mind of man does not have and does not want (Jer. ix, 23, 24; Matt. v, 8; Jas. ix, 6). When we are able to say concerning all the words and works of God, all that He does or permits to be done, the words of verse 26 from the heart, "Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Thy sight," we have reached a place of real soul rest, a place where we can "abide satisfied." This was the rest of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Father sent Him, and He lived by the Father, always pleasing the Father and delighting Himself in the Father's will. So He says to all those who labor and are heavy laden, "Come unto Me, and I will give you rest." The rest is to be found to Himself, not in His service nor His gifts. We must learn to sing from the heart, Jesus, I am resting, resting in the joy of what Thou art. He says, "My peace I give unto you." The love of the Father and the will of the Father were His rest and peace, and they may be ours too. Only the modest and lowly heart can enjoy His This Celebrated Classic of French Fiction K. W. B.

ALUMINIUM WARE A Bag That Makes Cracking Ice Easy and Still Another Cooker. Aluminium kitchen ware is no longer an innovation, in necessity. The first obstacle it is, expense, pressure exists, and it is a foregoing condition that it will replace turntable and heavier materials for kitchen utensils. Scouring and polishing involve much labor, especially for the housewife with limited domestic service, and a ware that retains its luster with no more care than an occasional rub—and the new silver finish aluminum does this—is bound to appeal to women who pride themselves upon the appearance of their kitchens. Another factor in its favor is its lightness. A large teakettle in this ware weighed less than twelve ounces, while the combined weight of a kitchen potset of six pieces, a grater, a fish turner, a ladle, a strainer, a skimmer and a basting碗 all as beautiful as the real silver article, was but seven ounces, and when handled separately they appeared weightless. Everything imaginable for use in the kitchen and dining room is now obtainable in the new aluminium just out. Its wearing qualities are admirable. The clever idea of a woman is making a fortune for her. After raining table napkins by breaking ice in them she made herself an ice cracking bag out of highest grade yacht dock-snail cloth, if you will-sturdy enough to stand the wear and tear, with drawing string of waterproof cord and a handy loop at the bottom to hang it up. She then made some for her friends. Now she has a great big business, for physicians, nurses, those who enjoy cooling drinks and ice, have spread its fame, for a whack or two upon the ice tied securely in the bag break it nicely for ice cap, ice cream freezers and for the numerous things for which cracked ice is used. The bag is not to be destroyed by such use, and it washes perfectly. Its service is at least two years. A new cooker for a gas stove top claims to use all heat produced for purposes of cooking and to prevent heat escaping into the room. It controls all heat produced by one burner, distributes it to three cooking centers, so that three articles in full size or mixed sized utensils are cooked over one flame of gas, gasoline or blue flame oil store. Little inset grate lids fit over the openings when they are to be used for toasting bread or for heating irons. The New Fitted Cost. Loose coats are being displaced by semi-fitting models which define the figure curves quite decidedly. This new autumn suit of blue serge is trimmed with dotted velvet in blue 1910 SUIT OF BLUE HORR and white. The skirt is short enough to show the neat buttoned walking boot or patent leather. To Revive Flowers The fashion for wearing the small, compact noegayra, with their holders of lace paper, is a pretty one. Many women despair of the fact that flowers quickly fade when worn by them. An amateur gardener confided the secret which kept her bunch of violets fresh during an entire evening. The simple method was this: About the stem of the bouquet had been wrapped a piece of waxed sand which paper and tied with string. Over this was placed the tin foll used for flowers. They kept beautifully fresh, and this fact is well worth knowing. Do this immediately when taking the noegayra from the water. When Peeling Onions If it is often a difficult matter to remove the uplouissant odor from the hands aft of having peeled onions. If salt is rubbed over the hands and they are washed in cold water the odor will disappear.

NICE LITTLE PROGRESSIVE DONKEY! Also Why the Indian Uses Its Wings to Fan a Fire Into Flame. The Indiana of our country have many legends connected with certain peculiar habits or customs prevalent among them. If one should chance to visit the home of an old Indian he would perhaps notice a turkey wing hanging near the fire. This the Indian uses to fan his fire into a flame and make it burn brightly or perhaps in the sultry days of summer to fan himself. If asked why he uses the turkey wing instead of the wing of any other bird he would no doubt relate the following story: Many years ago the fire of the world was nearly extinguished. This happened just at the beginning of the winter season. The birds of the air were filled with anxiety, for their intuition told them they would need heat to keep them warm through the winter. A bird council was held, and it was decided that birds which could fly the highest should soar into the air and see if they could find a spark of fire anywhere. The efforts of the eagle, lark and raven were in vain. The honor was left to the little brown marrow, who spied a spark of fire in the hollow of an old stump in the heart of a deep forest. The birds flocked around the stumps and tried to decide who should pick the spark out. But all their efforts were in vain. To their dismay they saw the spark growing smaller and fainter. The turkey then volunteered to try to keep the tiny coal alive by fanning it with his wings. Day after day the turkey kept fanning. The heat became greater each day until the feathers were singed off the turkey's head. If one notices carefully he will see lumps on the head of a turkey that appear as blisters. It is believed that the turkey was no badly burned that all turkeys since have had bald heads and wear the billets as a momento of the bravery of the turkey. The faithful turkey lost his beautiful feathers, but he gave back fire to the world, so in his honor and as a memorial of his faithfulness the Indian uses the turkey wing to make his fire burn.-Red Man. Dardevill Dive on a Ten Dollar Bott. To win a ten dollar bet Joseph Schmidt, a sailor of Detroit, dived into the Coyaboga river at Cleveland from the Superior viaduct, 100 feet above the surface of the water. He struck the water headforemost in a graceful dive, came to the surface and swam ashore, near the worm for his Dardevill feet. Two women fainted when they saw Schmidt leap. They thought him a saddler.

C., Sept. 9 The chemical condition of soils can be in a general manner determined by a knowledge of the character of the rocks whose disintegration produced them, and from the physical conformation of the adjacent country as well as by the appearance of the soil itself. Botanists classify plants according to the resemblances and relations to each other. We are able to solve the most difficult problem in the complete arthropide in a result of being able to decide correctly as to the relation between the quantities associated in the examples. Thus we may know the soil that produces our graft. The name of the tree that shines our lance and be able to solve a geometrical problem, and at the same time be ignorant of our banker, lawyer doctor, groceryman, teacher, minister or even our own family, but the mind is the man. In the mind are notions wishes, desires, ideas, hopes, thoughts, etc. There is a vast difference between the desire and the wish. The desire is imperious, it demands gratification, the wish is less vehement, it consists of a strong inclination. There are several species of desires, viz. longing, hankering, and coveting. We desire that which is near at hand, or within view. We wish for that which is more remote, or less distinctly seen; a discontented person wishes for more than he has; he who is in a strange land longs to see his native country. Destres ought to be moderate, wishes limited. Uncontrollable desires become the greatest torment; unbounded wishes the bane of all happiness. Destres lays an objection on the person to whom it is expressed; a wish is gentle and unassuming. We act by the destres of a superior and according to the wishes of an equal. Let them be ashamed and confided together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backwards and put to shame that wish me evil. 14th vs. Woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord' to what end is it for you' the day of the Lord is darkness and not light. Thy mother and thy brethren stand without desiring to see three' Luke 8:20. And he sat down and called the twelve and saith unto them. If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all and servant of all —Mark 9:25. For we are, glad when we are weak and we are strong; and this also we wish, win your perfection. 2 Cor. 13:9 Suppose if possible we remove from the mind all wishes and desires allowing nothing to remain but facts or ideas, what is the result? peace and good will to all will reign supreme. The thief desires before he breaks in. The unbounded wishes of a young lady cause her to become disobedient. The cashier at the bank wishes for the money left on deposit. The wish grows and soon becomes a desire. Then it must be gratified. We cannot prevent facts from entering the mind. But we can do our best to keep them from forming into wishes and desires. A few years ago I met a beautiful young lady in Washington, a schoolteacher, educated in France. I allowed all of the facts relative to her to produce a desire that we call on the President of the United States. Afterwards we visited the treasury department, then we patted. I have never seen her face. I think Henry VIII loved the beautiful and fascinating Anne Boleyn before he thought about the unlawfulness of his marriage to Katharine of Aragon. There were some faces in his mind relative to this single young womon whose movement and appearance pleased him. Pleasing facts become great opportunities in the mind most especially when the object of affection is above the "horizon." It was true with Eve while looking on the tree that was good for food. At the state capital in a certain city I met quite a large number of teachers, mostly females. One of them I found to be very kind to me. I was very busy and asked her to assist me. She kindly consented I thought well of her on this account. She in company with five other young ladies, a young man and myself called to see the Governor. As we walked up the steps of the state capitol I asked her to be the last in line to enter the governor's office as I wished to introduce her last. The Governor treated us very kind. Afterwards we strolled through the capitol. It is with much pleasure that I think of the visit. While I was teaching in a certain town recently, an acquaintance said to me, "Professor, when you close school I want you to show me how to begin a certain business." As soon as I opened his eyes, he got three other of his sort, and treated me unkind. There is quite a difference between the recollection of the visit to the governor's office and the action of the man I helped. With pleasure I think of one, with disdain of the other. So it is with man's desires. There are many desires cherished greatly by the possessor, not worth half as much as a teaspoonful of green Jerusalem sage seeds. Really how many of the desires carried in our --- $3.50 Recipe Free. For Weak Men Send Name and Address Today You Can Have It Free and Be Strong and Vigorous. I have in my possession a prescription for nervous debility, lack of vigor, weakened manhoo, falling memory and lame back, brought on by excesses, unnatural drains, or the follicles of youth, that has cured so many worn and nervous men right in their own homes—without any additional help or medicine—that I think every man who wishes to regain his manly power and virility, quickly and quietly, should, have a copy. So I have determined to send a copy of the prescription free of charge, in a plain ordinary sealed envelope to any man who will write me for it. This prescription comes from a physician who has made a special study of men and I am convinced it is the surest-acting combination for the cure of deficient manhood and vigor failure ever but together. I think I owe it to my fellow man to send them a copy in confidence so that any man anywhere who is weak and discouraged with repeated fallures may stop drugging himself with harmful patent medicines, secure what I believe is the quickest-acting restorative, upbuilding, SPOT-TOUCH ING Remedy ever devised, and so cure himself at home quietly and quickly. Just drop me a line like this: DR. A. E. ROBINSON, 3895 Luck Building, Detroit Mich., and I will send you a copy of this splendid recipe in a plain ordinary envelope, free of charge. A great many doctors would charge $3.00 to $5.00 for merely writing out a prescription like this—but I send it entirely free. For the wicked boasteth of his heart decrete and blesseth the covens whom the Lord adhereth. Ps. 111. Sapphire we stop under the first shaded oak and spread our handkerchief before us. After placing all of our desires the teen, with a very few exceptions, we might profitably leave them to time and tide. Some desires are "peaceful" of great price. Trajan granted a desire to extend the boundary of the Roman Empire beyond the Danube in Europe and the Emphrates in Asia. At times a man will trade his horse for another. The horse is a faithful "gitter." "But he doesn't suit my work," pays the owner. That is the horse will suit the other fellow better. Mary of our desires are no good to us but if number two gets hold of them they will bear fruit. When we begin to shell them off they appear to be ideas but later they will prove to be stubborn facts. The gambler on his way to the crowd on a Sunday morning while passing the church bears the wort of God. He embraces the opportunity to draw near. During this services his wishes are limited to the explanation as given by the minister. At the close of the service he has a desire to cast his lot with the followers of Christ.** The Jews wept bitterly in Babylon because they desired Jerusalem above their chief joy. The facts are the fuel. The thoughts the machinery. The desire the propelling force that moves us to action. Benjamin Franklin found out certain facts relative to electricity. He wished to render valuable service to his fellowman. Thus forming a desire to harness the current. The Apostle Paul said "My desires and prayer to God is that I should might he saved." Let us weave more facts, have less wishes and build a stronger desire for that is clean and undeveloped. Miss Fannye D Barvin of the Manning Graded School passed through the city recently, having spent the Summer in Philadelphia Pa. She took a course in hair culture.

After a week of the most disagreeable weather that the elements doth inflict upon an ever-ready to complain people, namely, rain, wind, heat and humidity. Sunday dawned beautiful and bright just to look upon the brightness of the Sun and the beautiful blue of the sky. It brought a song of gladness to my heart and a flood of inspiring thoughts. How beautiful and complete are the plans of the great river of life? The day was all the brighter, for the storms that had preceded it. I thought of the whole creation great and waiting for the redemption etc. I also thought of the individual struggles of each one, to win in life, of the storms, the heat of battle, the rain of disappointments and that torched hopes, so often cloud your sky. But when you have persevered through all and won, how quickly are all the disagreeable things faded from view and you rejoice in the present unmindful of the past.

This Association is the oldest among our people in Virginia and its name should be perpetuated and the heroic efforts of the founders of this grand old body should ever be kept in memory of the present and future generations to let them see what was accomplished by our forefathers with a limited training and what should be achieved in this day with men of advanced ideas coming from the various institutions of learning in this country. Notwithstanding we are living in the age of literature, art and science we are fearful when apparently, in many respects there is a lack in that true carrierness and devotion to the cause of the Master which characterized many of the leaders in those early days. Misses Alice and Naomi Scott of Pennsylvania and Mr. Lawrenz Johns of Pamlico City are visiting the home of Rev J T Jones of Chambers street. Mrs. Cecil Morehead and baby, Walter of Hartford, Conn. are visiting her schoolmate Miss Mary Reed at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Claiborne Reed of Grace street Mrs. Judith Short of Orange, N.
