CHAPTER III.

ON the evening following the depart
~ ure of our hero on his mission TO
Liberty, Luke Adams might have been
seen making his way to low hovel in
the lower or river portion of the
town. lie was keeping in the shad-
ows of the bluff line, and it was evident
he did not care to be recognized, though
there was slight danger of that. APP
preaching the door of the hovel, he
walked in without knocking.
"Nan! Mani Where are yOu, Nan!'
he called, impatiently walking the floor.
He was answered by q girl about
twenty years of age, who, coming up
to him, placed her two arms about his
neck and attempted to kiss him. Half
avoiding the caress, he led her to Il
thread-bare sofa that sat in one corner
of the room, and seating her, placed
himself by her side.
Nanette Ramsey, for such was the
young woman's name, had once been II
beautiful, innocent girl. Traces OF
loveliness yet fingered in the well mod
eled chin, dimpled cheeks, and attract
i've outlines of face and form.
But from the liquid blue eyes the
light of hope had gone; virgin purity
and maiden modesty no longer impart-
ed their charm. The once soft, deli.
cate check had lost It's bloom. Th,
lines about the mouth were drawn from
acute mental suffering. The form
which was yet liSsomc and erect, wa.
Il good one. Her shoulders, covered
with the draping of II great mass o
| tawny hair, were well rounded ant
graceful.
She wore Il faded dress of good ma.
tcrial-onc she had had when ut hom,
and happy. At her throat she wore /:
blue ribbon, confined by Il cameo pin.
Her feet were encased in pair ot
well-won slippers. The room was
poorly furnished and the lack of money
and good housekeeping were trade,
marked throughout the apartment.
Nanette was Il native of southern
village. She had met Adams, had
listened to his wooing, had. alas, be,
lieved his promises, and yielding to his
passionate plcadings, had given W
honor, virtue, everything. to revel i'll
the bliss of his false aud blighting love.
Thus we find hcr-still willing to do
his bidding, still receiving his chilling
affronts, still bearing his neglect and
cruelty, still allowing his false promises
to fill her heart with hope, still permit
TING his irrachcrous smile or affected
carrSscS to ill her soul with sunshine.
Oh, that the loving trust of woman
should ever be thus abused! Oh, that
the lightning should flash, and crash to
earth the innocent and good, and leave
umscathed the betrayer OF woman,
trust and love!
Luke, ON this occasion, was very

How They Got a Preacher.
THE BUSINESS LIKE METHODS OF
CONGREGATION IN ILLINOIS.

THE BUSINESS LIKE METHODS OF
CONGREGATION IN ILLINOIS.
In one of the flourishing Illinois
towns between here and Chicago there
is congregation that year or two
back lost its pastor. OF course the
people wanted another as soon as
they could get one but they were
particular about the man and no end
of discussion ensued as to what kind
of preacher they really wanted. At
ter they had talked about the matter
till they were tired ofthe subject, they
turned the whole business over to a
prominent member, a deacon or elder
! or whatever they called him. and told
| him to look round and get preach
er.
He was a good business man, and
went about the Job i'm a thoroughly
characteristic fashion He wrote to
Chicago to the editor of the church
there TO send him the names and ad-
dress of clergymeu who would suit,
and soon received half a dozen. Then
he sat down and wrote to a promi-
nent commercial agency, forwarding
Jue HSO Ol HdIues, UellluB WHdb lie
wanted, and directed that the record
of the men be looked up and sent to
him. In course of time he received
an answer, giving personal descrip-
tions of each one, telling where each
served last and how the people liked
him, what salaries he had received,
what kind of sermons he preached,
what sort of pastor he was and in
what line of church work he excelled.
From the data he thus furnished he
picked out likely man, corresponded
with him, and finally secured his SER
vices. / do not suppose the preacher
ever found out how he came to be Sc
lected, but he is giving satisfaction,
and what more could be expected?-

The Best Recipe for Rest.

There is nothing which will give a
chance for rest to over-tired nerves
so surely as "A simple religious faith in
the Overruling, wise and tender Provi-
dence which has us in it's keeping. 1t
is in chatting against the conditions
of our lives that we tire ourselves i'm
measurably. 1t is in being anxious
about things which we cannot help
that we often do the most of our
Spending. A simple faith in God
which practically and every moment,
and not only theoretically and ON
Sundays, rests OH the knowledge that
he cares for us as much as we care
for those who are the dearest to us,
will do much to give the tired nerves
the feeling of the bird in it's nest. Do
not spend what strength you have,
like the clematis, in climbing on your
self, but lay hold on things that are
eternal, and the peace of them will
pass into your soul like healing
balm. Put yourself in the great ever.
lasting currents, and then you can
rest on your oars, and let those cur.
rents bear you on their strength

Curious war Incident,
COL. MOSBY LISTENS TO A LITTLE
STORY AND ROUNDS IT OrT.

COL. MOSB1 LISTENS TO A LITTLE
STORY AND ROUNDS 1T OUT.
A few evenings ago Col. E. A. Den
icke entertained at dinner Capt.
French, a Philadelphia banker and
an officer of the single corps during
the war. Among the other guests
were some members of the local CORPS
and Col. John S. Mosby. the noted
guerilla chieftain. Capt. French has
contributed a number of articles to
the Century and other magazines re-
lating to his escape from Libby pris-
on, and at the dinner table he mar
rated an incident which has not vet
been published.
1--WE were attached to Sherman's
army" said Capt. French, ''and as
we were marching toward Gettys-
burg L was detailed to reconnoiter
with another man. We passed a
farm house, but afterwards returned
to ask for a. drink of water. The
house was within the Union lines,
and group of officers was standing
in front. Before we had an opportu-
nifty of speaking a woman informed
us that our dinner was ready. and
although we were considerably sur
prised at this, we had no objection in
those days to eat a dinner which was
obviously Y designed for some one else.
AS we left the house a man in civil
lian dress ordered me to throw up
my hands and surrender. As was
within Union lines my first thought
was that some soldier was playing a
practical joke upon me, and / care
lessly ignored it, but when the man
his order by pointing an
ugly looking gun close to my head, |
considered it wise to obey. The uI-
shot of that adventure was nv close
confinement in Libby prison. | don't
know who my captor was. but the
was on the 10th Of"
Capt. French was interrupted bv
Col. Mosby. "You are mistaken as
to the date, said che latter, ''it was
on the 18th, and by the way, you
probably do not know that you were
almost dead man that day. When
l pointed the gun at you l was wig
CLING the trigger, but somehow it did
not work smoothly and your SUR
render prevented its discharge"
Were you my captor?" asked
Capt. French in surprise. II heard
that he was one of Mosby's
men,"
Il was the man." was Col. Mosby's
grim reply.-San Francisco Call.

Yet holds within her heart all goodly gifts,

Ere falls to earth her mantle soft of snow.
What matters then tho hill and vale are

She clothes them in dainty garb of white I;
Hangs every shrub with icy jewels rare,
And fills the land with echoes of delight
From merry sleigh-bells, and the rhythmic
beat
Upon the frozen road, of flying feet
So comes Thanksgiving Day-as it should

With cheerfulness and JOY. and ringing bells;
With dear ones gathered round the hearth of

While thro' the land happy chorus swells
Which speaks a Nation praise to God above,
In thankfulness of His protecting love
