The captain started, and almost

He gave her look that more than
half frightened her, but came for

"Well, well, Anna, mine is not

blighted,' he said. al have the
luck that brought me from the ma
larious Businesses of Sikhdom to be
crushed by woman's word"
She pitied him, for she looked
away, talking very sorrowfully.
The rest of the walk to Captain
Wells home was conducted in ST.
lence, and the rejected suitor bade
Anna goodnight.
On his way back to his quarters
he met two soldiers arm-in-arm,
and stepped quickly into the shad-
ows of a temple to prevent being
recognized.
The twain passed his hiding
place, conversing in low tones, and
when he stepped into the moon
light again, they were almost out
of sight.
"Whisper sweet words to her
while can, Ensign Louis King" he
said, fiercely shaking his fist at the
recedinG forms. 81 know now why
Anna Wells rejected my love-
know who has been filling her ears
with horrid words as light as the
Peguan braids. Go on with your
love-making, 1 say. The temple OF
Brahma falls when You march out of
Delhi with your English bride"
The captains face was livid with
rage, and after watching the men
until they had entirely disappeared,
he turned on his heel and resumed
his walk.
A few moments later he entered
his quarters, and found q Sepoy
boy about fourteen years of age
waiting for him. .
swell, boy, what is it y asked the
Englisbman, with wonderment in
his eyes still cleaning with anger.
Without replying, the youth
drew a paper from beneath the dull
roll of cloth that partly covered his
dark bosom, and handed it to the
soldier. ;
"A letter." calculated Captain
Jarl, going to the lamp that illum-
mated the apartment. "Ah, tits
from the Princess. She wants me"
Several minutes afterwards the
Englishman was walking down the
gloomy streets of Delhi, accompan-
panied by the Sepoy youth. He
seemed to know the thoroughfares
that led to his destination, for he
turned corners abruptly without
forethought.
At last he entered a magnificent
building that resembled an Indian
temple in many architectural re-
spects. The boy who deserted him
at the door retreated away in the
darkness and soon disappeared.
Brutus Jarl soon found himself
in q brilliantly lighted room, face
to face with dazzlingly beautiful
Indian woman, clad in the voluptu-
ous fashion of tho warm 1ndies.-
Her English was remarkably pure
for native, when she addressed
the captain.

For moment the Princess look

said. "You are in my power"
The soldiers face grew pale.

PHILADELPHIA has blt Of church scandal
on its hands, though 10 this case, fortunately
the offending clergyman is charged With moth
ing more than plagiarszng his sermons. At q
large meeting OF the mem Ders OF the First Pres
byteran Church OF Philadelphia, held Oh Mon
day. Rev. Dr.. Col cit, the pastor OF the church,
which is one of the weaithlest, largest and m os,
Influential 10 the denomination, was openly
charged with plagiarism. Opinions on the of.
fence OF plagiarism were expressed 10 deouoa
atory language by several prominent gentle
men, and while DR.. Dixon was not 10 favor Of
encouraging the practice, he yet Geld that the
poets from Chsucer to Longfellow, were guilty
Of ITS most fragrant patronage. he believed,
With Lord Byron, that "Pretensioos to oriei
uality are simply ridiculous, and paid glow.
Jog tribute to the honesty of DR.. Colfelt for the
candor be displayed 10 admitting the proba
bility of his adopting az occasional thought
which be might thiok better than his own, and
more Influencing 10 the cause OF Christ. A re-
port of 40 Investigating Committee was made
declaring that the charges OF plagiarism against
eddy delivered as bis owo, in that and other
churches, the published discourses of others.
Another paper, signed by 6fty-eight commuDi
DR.. Colfelt says he has not the least hestancy
10 acknowledging that very close correspond
encs has existed between bis deliveries aud the
discourses of others. Using the thoughts OF
others With completest liberty as he says he
has done, and giving no intimation at the time
that they were not bis OWL; taking his illustrs.
tioos, ideas and structural arrangement from
others; clingng closely to ample notes that be
has made of the sermons of others; training bis
memory literally to take everything that be
reads, and then using in bis Sermons every
thing be remembers, it is not easy to see how
he could possibly escape the consequences
which have happened him. The report was
adopted, and Dr.. Colfelt spni6ed his intention
10 heed the sdmonitlon.-BaH Am.
