Laura ain nad spent d night no more
comfortable than Mark. The response
bility of human life weighed upon her
heavily. At one. moment she would
picture Marks face, pale, haggard, de-
spairing, as he would be dragged from
his hiding place. The next she was
conscience stricken at the part she was
playing in shielding an enemy of her
cause.-The cause of her brother and her
lover. She heard the dogs as Mark had
heard them on the river bank, and lay
shivering till the baying died away in
the distance. Then in the morning she
saw the cavalry go by; the officer come

that he night question her about the
lresence Of the spy. Laura got up her.
self and stood at the landing, listening
breathless while they talked. When the
man rode away she muttered fervent
THANK God!"
As the morning frightened and it was
time to rise, her fears were less intense,
and she began to think of how she
the rest of the household. How should
she feed him? When her maid came
up she told her that she would take her
breakfast in her room, but surprised the
girl by the large quantity of food she
wanted brought to her. When the
breakfast came, Laura was up AID
dressed. She directed the girl to set it
on table and then sent her to the stable
with message to Daniel about her rid
ing pony. Her maid having gone, Laura
took up the breakfast and carried it to
the trap.
In another moment she was standing
on the ladder with the tray in her hand,
half her body below and half in the at
tic, regarding handsome fellow 10 ok-
ing very much like gentleman in her
brothers clothes. He in turn was re-
garding what he considered very pretty
picture in the half exposed figure of a
young girl holding tray in her hands
on which he knew full well was break
fast he was hungry for. Then he took
the tray and laid it on the lounge.
1t was the first time that Laura had
seen Mark dressed becomingly. This
was the man she had been instrumental
in saving, the man she was protecting,
the man she must exercise her wits to
give an opportunity to get away to a
land of safety from the halter. 1t was
pleasant to see that he was good to look
upon. What fine brow, what a reso-
lutte mouth! Those locks are golden and
fitted for woman's head. The eyes
are heavenly blue. And all this beauty
holds soul capable of plunging into
the most frightful of dangers.
And this being, so dazzling to young
girl scarcely twenty, was in her power.
Could she not at a word give him over to
an ignominious death? And could she
not by care almost certainly insure his
freedom? He was her slave. bound to

maid, who had been given her by her
father. She could order him to crawl

Faith tho Great Questions OF Morality.
CHICAGO, Sept 11.-All the great relig.

In the hospitable halls Of the Art Palace.
This religious cosmos combines many con-
gresses and includes the great parliament
OF religions, which opened its sessions to-
day, and continues for seventeen days.
The parliament is Of course, the main
feature of the series. It's object, in the
language Of Mr.. Bonney, who may be con-
sidered chief patriarch of the Cosmic
church, and who. therefore, speaks ex-
cathedra, is to bring together the worlds
religions In an assembly lin which their
union may be set forth and the marvellous
religious progress of the nineteenth CEN
fury be reviewed"
The program gives ample promise that
this object will be effectually attained, for
in the union meetings of the parliament
able ministers and laymen of all creeds
will set forth the reasons for the faith that
is within them. Priests of Buddha will
mingle with Christian prelates, and the
mystic dualism of Zoroaster will come in
close contact with the practical unitarian
ism Of Charming, Emerson and Parker.
Catholics. Professionals and members Of the
Greek church will be equally welcome to
the privileges Of the platform, and for the
time being sects viii forget their differ
ences and by their determination become
q type Of a churan universal.
Besides Christianity in all Its denomina-
tional phases. the list of religions which
finds temporary home beneath the roof
OF the Art building includes Brahminism,
Mohammedanism, Buddhism, Taoism,
Confucianism, Shintoism, Judaism, Zorro
asterism and Theosophy, and in almost
every instance tho addresses relating to
these religions will be given by persona
from the far of lands in which they hold
sway over the consoiences of men. This,
In brief, Is the scope of the parliament of
religions around which center all the other
meetings..

crosses is formidable document, It's
