Rev. A. N. Keig win preached an In,
tefesLtnR sermon on Sunday morning
from the 22nd verse of the 9th chapter
OIL Hebrewet Without the shedding
Of blood there Is no remission OF sin.
In his opening remarks he referred to
the sending OF wagons and equipments
TO bring jacob AMI family OF 40 persons
into Egypt, after which he reeited the
condition of the dcscendants of these
people some hundred years afterward,
all OF them being treated as slaves;
and passed on to notice the raising up
OF Moses to deliver them from their
bond &c; the death OF the first born In
eyery Egyptian home, and the passage
OF the children OF Israel out OF Pha-
roah's dominions.
After stating his premises very
clearly, he referred to the prevalence
OF sin. every heart being impregnated
with evil He explained the tusldi-
business OF sin by abiding to a ring
that had been constructed in the l4th
century by order OF q noblemnn by
touching a hidden spring a subtle
poison would be infused into the finger
OF the wearer, so as to cause his death
This ring after lying 400 years came
Into the hands OF tourist and

frated. Passing on he referred to a

Using Plain English

When the advertising atmosphere is
heavily charged with exaggeration-
sometimes prevarication-it is well you
should remember who are the trust
worthy advertisers. We've always
labored to make our advertising news
plain, truthful, clear-giving you
perfect basis for belief. Our facts and
your faith are the creators of business.

furious pressure of the wind which she had
anticipated vet she seemed to be in swift
motion, though the pitchy obscurity which
surrounded her made it impossible to know
in what direction. At length she fell into
sort of dream. which was fast emerging into
total insensibility. But Just then she felt the

substance and there rested. There she lay
for while with her eyes closed, Indifferent
as to what might follow. Gradually the roar
ing in her ears diminished, and the hurrying
of the gale abated; rain descended in torrents.
She finally opened her eyes. lifted herself on
one arm and looked about her.
At first she could not imagine where she
was still less how she got there. Before her
lay the ocean; the nucleus OF the tornado was

to the beach. But she presently perceived
that this beach was not that of the main ISL

ticed just before the hurricane struck her. It
was half mile from the shore, and ut least
two miles further from the spot az which she
remembered throwing herself upon her
horses neck. OF the horse no vestige was
to be seen. What had occurred?

alert She saw every inequality in the road
before her. and guided her horse so as to
avoid it. She saw. without looking mt IT, the
scene on both sides of her, and in front. and
could calculate how long it would take her
to reach the bottom of the long zigzag de-
scent, and debouch upon the comparatively
level road which extended thence to the sea-
shore.
Meanwhile she was carrying on in her mind
plan of action to avoid the sweep of the
storm when il should arrive; she remembered
the massive stone-bui!t structure which had
been formerly used as part OF the old sugar
MILL and saw herself ensconced in the cellar
beneath it. while her horse would find shelter
at the bottom of the excavation near by. 1t
was all question of time and speed. She
did not look round; she heard the hoofs of
Cudjo's horse laundering in her rear. and
could detect, by the way they struck the
ground that Guido was in a paralysis of ter
ror. and unable to guide his course properly.
He will falll'' she said to herself. At that
moment they swept round turn of the road;
ii was a dangerous place, but she. riding with
consummate skill, passed it safely and with
a sense of triumph and exhilaration.
In The next instant she heard a shrek and
a crash behind her and knew that what she
had dreaded had happened; Cudjo had fallen

and was by the old mans side before the i'm

He lay partly underneath his horse. The
latter gave one convulsive kick, and then lay
still; its neck was broken. Poor Cudjo moved
not at all; the back of his skull was crushed
in and he died in few moments. The girls
heart contracted with deep pang of sorrow.
She grasped him beneath the arms, and with
paroxysm of effort drew him out from be-
meath the horse. She dragged the body to
the side of the road and laid it in the hollow
there, laying the limbs straight. She took
out her handkerchief and covered the face.
God bless you. Cudjo," she said. aloud 1t
was all the obsequies she could give him.
Then she turned to her horse, which stood
painting where she had left him, and vibrating
with excitement.
She caught the bride and the peak of the
saddle with her left hand and made a spring
to mount, bur he shifted his position at the
same instant and set his near hind foot on the
long, trailing skirt of her riding habit. which
was torn from its fa5tenings, leaving her in
her white silk petticoat, reaching to her
knees. The mishap, instead of unnerving
her, gave her an idea. She quickly unbuckled

teresting anecdotes concerning Mrs. Gordon
Lee | shall mere reproduce only one of
them.
She was the daughter of Jamaica planter;
but both her father and mother died when
she was seven years old, and she went to live
with her uncle. He was a reckless, bolster
Gus parsonage, and entertained good deal
of wild company; the child was not happy in
his house His plantation brought him a
good income but he spent 1t faster than it
came, and was thought to have infringed
upon the property which his niece had in
herited from her parents. As the child grew
up she developed great beauty. and her uncle
arranged a marriage between her and a
neighbor. a wealthy man, but older than she
by dozen years. and not personally
agreeable to her. But she thought
she could not be more unhappy with
him than she was already; so she
made up her mind TO the transaction. The
wedding was fixed for day in November, in
the year 1918 The estate on which she lived
was near the northwest coast. Two days be-
fore the one which was to see her the wife of
her unwelcome suitor she mounted her horse
early in the morning, and. accompanied only
by her negro groom. Cudjo, set out on the
ride which was her daily and favorite recrea-
ton.
The autumn rains were over and the
weather was unusually hot and close. There
was haze about the horizon, and the sun
HAD risen red and portentous. Guido pre-
dicted that there would be a storm, but his
mistress either did not credit or was indifTer-
ent TO the contingency. She rode down the
steep way from the stone mansion on the
hilltop to the main road. and as she turned
to look at the dwelling where she had spent
so many fruitless years. she wished she might
never see it or any one connected with it
again. Would that ship awaited her in the
of1ng to bear her away to some distant land
where she might live her own life and be at
peacel
Thus thinking she rode toward the coast,
and soon came in sight Of the azure Caribbean
lying far below, with Cuba invisible below the
horizon, hundred miles away. There, sure
enough, was ship in the ofing.
'What ship is that, Cudjo?" inquired his
mistress.
"Dat be Yankee, t'ink, missus." replied
the groom. "Dey getting up de anchor to
run out, To- de storm come
Il wish I were going in her." muttered the
girl
She touched her horse with the whip, and
cantered down the winding road toward the
sea- Guido followed her at respectable dis
lance of about fifty yards; but presently she
heard him coming at gallop, and, looking
around, saw him gesticulating excitedIy.
