Revival rIeetings.

The revival meetings which began
at the Christian church Sunday are
taking on considerable interest. The
church was filled Monday night. The
sermon was on the subject, SIS Con.
science Safe Guide?" and Rev. VIE.
mer handled it quite vigorously. He
claimed that conscience was creature
OF memory, reason and education.
The HindOo mother who slew her
babe to appease the wrath of her god
Was just as conscientious as the Chris
tian who kneels in prayer. A heather
VIII have a heather conscience. a
Roman Catholic will have a Roman
Catholic conscience, and so on-all
owing to education. To say that con-
science is a correct guide would do
away with the mission of tn. Bible
The only correct guide was Gods
book, and we must study and learn it
Alright.
The music was splendid under the
leadership Of WA. Black. At the
opening services Mr.. Black and Miss
Dora Rem sang a duet, Jesus Lover

the refrain. The meetings will con-
tinue indefinitely.

How de do?" he said, reaching for
Swalm's hand. "I'm glad to see you
out"
Pm glad myself" said Swain, and he
smiled the first melancholy smile this side
the bay as he tried to figure out where on
earth he had ever met the man before.
He never had and neither had his COM
panion.
The blonde-whiskered man was a total
stranger, and had probably been induced
to make the approach out Of curiosity.
The melancholy smile, which will proba-
bly, become celebrated. was too much for

of the fact that they had had celebrity In

preached the hotel, for the twain, basket

quickly seeing the look of perplexity in the
attendants eye. he whispered softly.

he had momentarily forgotten that bar
tenders change with the times, and do
not remember that the same" was years
ago.
He met several old friends there who
were glad to see him back, and compli-
manted him on his looks. He had busi-
ness to attend to and, calling a hack, was
driven to the Office of his attorney, Robert
Ferral. who happened to be out.
From this time on Swalm's meetings
with friends we've frequent and he held a
sort of levee until the time be retired to

He was quieteT than when he was wont to
be a good fellow in the city, and the quiet
ness was accentuated by the few gray
hairs in evidence on his head and in his
musJache. He had changed with the times
in footgear. No gaudy tans covered his
feet, and he wore a modest white tie under
a rundown collar. No suggestion of
prison-croppIng was manifested in the
blonde hair, and the mustache had as deb
OMAR a sweep as ever.
The wheel of fortune has made a COM

For days and days since the first troubles

has been eagerly awaiting the word which
would set him free. The minutes length

the days into months, and yet il came not
His friends on the outside used every in-
fuence to sway the Governor to their way
of thinking, but the executive gave no as
surfing sign. And the days passed and all
hope with them. To-day, by reason of
Rood-conduct credits, the prisoner would
have been released a any rate; but up to
the last moment the friends of the pris-
oner worked. They had no hope of cur
failing the time to any great extent, but
they besieged the Governor with impor-
tunities to at least exercise his clemency to
take the stigma off the Imprisonment by
looping off at least one day, and he finally
consented.
Tuesday full pardon was extended to
Swain, and the date of his issuance from
the pententiary set for yesterday morning.
This meant that the rights OF citizenship
had been saved to the prisoner.
This happy result of long months en-

passed nearly six years away from the

The warden was notified of the impend-
ing departure. in an Official way, nearly as
soon as was Swain, and he proceeded to
make things as pleasant for the parting as
possible. The new suit of clothes, made
for the prisoner in anticipation for his re-
lease. were placed where they would be
handy in the morning. and the brown
derby was gotten out of the box.
Swain, during the remainder of the
afternoon. made a tour among bis friends
in the prison-and he made many during
his stay, both among the officials ana the
Misunderstanding them good by. His story
was well-known to them all. and on every
hand expressions were loud that he would
get along and-get even. The halo of
romance had enshrouded Swain in the
eyes of all and the news Of the turn in the
