the thought, though delighted at the 70.
suit.
He strolled through the hall and
noticed that the thief was still sleeping.
Beside him lay the remnants of the
lunch. Drane would have been glad to
stay and watch the fellow when he
walked up, but he had decided to 90 out
and find policeman to take the thief
into custody.
There was none in sight when he
stepped to the door. He stood there

he needed shave very much, and as

THE BOY-PREACHER ERA.

Bob Burdette Puts on His Thinking Can
and Makes Prophecy.
Another boy-preacher has sprung up
down In Georgia. He is thirteen years
old and draws great throngs to hear him.
Oh, we'll, there is nothing remarkable
or unusual about this kind Of preaching.
We have heard men Of sixty years old
preach sermons that boy OF eleven
might have written. But we never
thought 1t was powerful preaching. It
was calming, tranquilizing, sedative in
Its effect, and follow with convenient
post to lean his head against could en-
Joy 1t until the congregation, rising to
sing the closing hymn, brought him to
present wakefulness once more. Thir-
teen-year-old preachers arc an out
growth OF this century. The great
Teacher didn't think Himself prepared
TO preach until lie was man Of thirty
years, but then that was nearly two
thousand years ago.
You take boy with The advantages
Of common-school education now, and
he Is fully qualified to make hop, skip
and jump right into PLACES that would
scare the halo of an angels head. By
all means let the thirteen -year-old
boy keep on preaching. But II we wafe
his mother, which Is impossible, we'd
see that he ate his porridge earlier than
usual Sunday evening, that he might
close his service in time to be in bod by
half-past eight, any how. This Ia
the era Of "boy." The "boy soprano" Is

II was Lawrence Dranel He had stolen
his own clothes back again.
Yes, there was no doubt about 1t.
Tho occupant of No. 42 had been the
original tramp who had accomplished
the exchange in the hotel so nicely,
and had afterward collected the tele-
graph money-order at New Haven. The
pockets OF the coat were full Of Drane's
papers. He ran them over hastily, and
could not discover that any were miss
ing.
His watch and considerable sum Of
money were there too. He wondered at
this because prudent persons leave such
things at the desk, but then he reflected
that thief distrusts everybody, and
hates to hand over his plunder when he
doesn't know who may be Watching.
Drane was never 30 eminently salts

his brain to its proper balance almost at

CHAPTER IV.-CoNTINURD.
II can't promise to CO." said Drane
"but the first man OF you who finds
me in Kansas City and learns the truth
ofwhat have told you shall have hun.
dred dollars and chance togo to work. "
"I'll sell my chance in that hundred
for q pipeful Of plug" said the man who
had put Drane in nomination for the
convention. "As for the chance to 20
to work, don't want it. I'll give 1t
away"
Altogether, Drane did not find this
asseublage Of the unfortunate so inter-
esting as he had thought 1t might be.
He withdrew from the circle soon and
climsed high up on the hay till the raft
ers were just over his head. Then he
lay down to sleep, and dreams carried
him to other and far different scenes.
At first there were pictures OF home,
and then tie familiar faces faded away
and in their place came one which had
imprinted itself on his heart moro
clearly than he knew-the face of tho
woman whom he had befriended and
who in turn had remembered him.
Through strange and difficult paths he
was pursuing her. There was danger
around them both. Suddenly he over
took her and tried to speak to her, but
his voice would not come. He was chok-
ing. She seemed to read the agony in
hiseyes, for her faco grew pi-iful He
was dying at her feet. The hot sun cast
terrible red glare upon him. 1t was
descending from the heavens to burn
him to cinder.
With struggle ho threw the hideous
vision from him and awoke. The red
glare was still in his eyes, the choking
IN his throat. The barn was on fire,
Already the hay below him was blazing,
cutting of his escape. Tho smoke was
like visible demon clutching him. Ho
CROPPED to the wall aRd put his lips 70
little space between tho boards, seeking
Tor air, but the hot vapor from within
rushed out. and he could not breathe.
The thought OF death in that strange
place crowded upon him-a fate Of
which those who loved him would never
hear-his ashes scattered to tho winds.
Erantically he struck the board before
him with his clenched hand. 1t yield-
cd. Hope sprang mp in his heart. He
rained blows upon the rotten wood, till
he beat 1t from its fastenings, and then
with last effort he forced his body
through the opening and swung himself
10 tho ground.
