did YOU KNOW OF THAT?"

had come the partingS, the voyage, the
few aimless weeks in Denver. and then
a letter from Bob Mcqueen asking him
to come down and help raise pigs and
alfalfa in the Pecos valley. He had
found jolly, congenial lot of young
Englishmen there, and after some
months of ranch life he had just de-
cided to put some money in the ranch
and settle down. There is saying that
Englishmen come West on account of
one of three things: Busted health,
wealth or reputation" None of this
crowd, at least, was in the Pecos val
ley on account of the last cause, and
the two former were certainly no dis
grace.
This resolution to settle down had
not been an easy one to make. A man
may flatter himself that he has torn
up every root that binds him to the
old life but when the time comes to
put aside the last hope of return he
will find that there is one root still
drawing life from that hope, and then,
perhaps, comes the hardest wrench OF
all. At any rate, Woodhall had that
day ridden into Eddy with Mcqueen,
and had drawn from the bank the mon
ey which was to- buy his share of the
ranch outfit. On their way back they
had stopped at Phoenix, collection of
saloons, dance houses and Mexican
huts just outside the limits of the town.
Their Mexican foreman, Gongorez, had
net them there with the ranch wagon,
relieved their horses of the supplies
and gone on ahead of them.
Although Woodhall had been in the
fore seen Phoenix in full blast. This
Interesting condition occurred every
Saturday night and lasted until Mon
slay morning. The roulette wheel and
faro layout, together with the Mexican
games, were operated in the barroom,
hail. BY this simple arrangement the
Mexicans could lose their money in the
'harroom, while the cow-punchers OBJ
tanned their load" and then worked it
off in the quadrille.
"Bob," said Woodhall, lazl1y turning

faro, do they ever have any good look

Sometimes pretty Mexican girl

thrown open to- controversy by this
Syriac manuscript It's reauings on
that question are unorthodox. u
It is here distinctly stated that Jesus
was the natural son of Joseph. The
manuscript which has now been found
is alone in this new reading. No other
historical document of the kind makes
any such assertion.
The exact words used are these:
Joseph Ito whom was betrothed the
Virgin Nary begat Jesus, who is called
Christ
Here is distinct affirmation that
Joseph was the natural father of the
Savior. THIS Syriac manuscript, the old
est authentic record of the Gospels:
here makes statement contained in
none of the other and later documents.
The story of the finding of this an
c1ent manuscript by two women with
a kodak is one of the most marvellous
in the history Of Biblical literature.
Nowhere has it a counterpart.
In the remote and almost inaccessi-
BILE monastery Of St. Catherine, which
the Emperor Justinian caused to be
erected in the sixth century upon the
site of some of the most astounding
miracles,two nineteenth century women
with a snapshot camera ask for a look
at, the musty documents with which
the cellar is stored. The monks can
scarcely believe their senses when they
learn that these two women made the
hazardous journey across the desert on
dromedaries to inspect their musty
tones
They are loath to disturb their parch-
ments and papyri in their sleep of cen
turtles for two such casual tourists until
the latter present credentials from the
authorities of the Greek church, which
at once opens the vaults, the hidden
cells and the ancient chests. Then an
almost endless array of parchments is
unearthed for their inspection.
Ancient scrolls, leaves of parchments
which no human eye had seen for a

with feverish excitement to this totally
unexpected treasure of sacred history.
But almost as remarkable as the dis
covery of the manuscript is the extraor-
binary story of how it was unearthed.
The details of the visit of two English
women to the lonely monastery of st.
Catherine on the summit of Mount Sinai
and the accident which revealed the
Syriac Gospels are told below.
To return to the manuscript.
Christ, as we know, was master of
several languages, but it is certain that
Syriac was the one He learned as an
infant
In moments of great mental excite
ment it was this language Syriac-
that leaped naturally to His lips, and
when He cried out in anguish upon the
Cross He spoke in Syriac words which
our Greek Gospel has to translate, but
which in this newly discovered Gospel
stand in their proper place with no
need Of translation.
These Gospels give, for instance, an
entirely new reading of proper names.
From this it appears that there
was no such person as Judas Iscariot,
but that he who betrayed his Master
with a kiss was Juda Scariota, that
Peters name was Cepha, and that the
correct name for the Mount of Olives
was Beth Zaita.
But above and beyond such techni-
cal differences as these are the new
and unexpected readings of the Gospels
which this ancient manuscript dis
closes upon dogmatic questions of the
first Importance. Written, as it is ad-
mitted, so near to the death of John,
and couched in the language which
WAS native in Palestine, this, the old
est of authentic records of His life
and mission, must take its place in the
very front among historical docu-
ments. ST.
4 And right here, it might be said that
this ancient dOcume emit, which has. been
found in the very place where Moses
received the commandments, while it
@coincides with the translations of the
Gospels accepted up to the present day,
yet differs from it. H. :
The difference is of itself regarded
as proof of it's originality and genuine
ness. ... = +.
In doctrinal matters there are differ
ences that have already aroused the
ttheologians. Thus is the entire ques-

terry and novelty Of the affair struck
him as he was tying his horse, vet he
was hardly prepared for what followed.

will the senior rest?" and then after
moments pause, II will return soon. -
She was gone before he could prevent
it.
Woodhall sat down on the edge of the
bed to think, and as he did so he felt
the weight of the money belt which he
carried about his waist. In moment
all his English caution and mistrust re-
turned.
1T may be all right" he muttered
but little search won't hurt any,

The only possible place of conceal
ment was under the bed. Revolver in
hand, he dropped to. his knees and
peered into the Darkness Nothing.
Slowly he raised himself until his eyes
were on a level with the counterpane,
ana as he reached this position he no.

More from curiosity than any other mo-
tive, he grasped corner of the bed

OF the bed, with it's cruel claws work
ing, lay full-sixed tarantula, one of
the most poisonous creatures alive. A
slight noise at the door caused him to
turn. There stood the girl, her eyes
| big with fear and horror, fixed on the
deadly spider. Without word Wood
hall raised his arm and pointed an &C
| cusing finger at it. For a moment the
girl tried to speak, but could not. Then
slowly and painfully she whispered:
''You thought I did it?''
Woodhall bowed his head in grim
assent. -,
| On the instant, before he could stop
her or even realize her purpose, she
had sprung to the bed, grasped the hor-
rible thing and placed it in the bosom
Of her dress. AS it stung her she
stretched out her arms toward Wood
hall, uttered a piercing cry, and fell
across the bed. At the same moment he
became aware of an evil face at the
doorway-the face of Gongorez, the
ranch foreman. In an instant Wood
hall had covered him and commanded

AIDS Washington special says: I'm
portant developments in Cuban affairs
may be expected at an early date, but
not from this end of the line. The Ad-
ministration thoroughly understands
the situation in Cuba as it exists today,
and does not regard the time as ripe
for any action by this country. Many
sensational reports are af1oat about
immediate intervention by the United
States, and extensive military prepar-
atoms for prospective trouble with

NEW HAVEN, CONN, Nov. 11th.--
Bob Cook, Yale's veteran coach,
who is to remain here this week coach
ing the varsity eight, watched with in
terest the candidates taking their prac-
tice in an English-rigged shell manned
by English oars. He expressed himself
as we'll pleased with the English-rigged
shell, and added: 'It is rather radi-
cal move, but 1 think that the oars
men are able to get more power from
their work by pulling on the ZigZag
placed benches and with the English
oars than with seats arranged in a
row with the old oars. We like the
change, and 1 think we will stick to it.
LAS to adopting the English stroke,
l don't think we will. There are a few
changes to be made with the stroke
Yale has rowed for several years. We
have rather unconsciously adopted
some of the things that professional
oarsmen have been using, but we shall
simply get back to where we were
few years ago."
Mr.. Cook said that it was not decided
where Yale would row the coming
years. No plans whatever had been
made by Yale yet for race next June.

Der OF Men Arrested.
For some time past game known
as Monte Carlo pool has been occupying
the attention of the freQuenters of bill
lard parlors on Hotel street, and the
Marshal's attention being called to it,
he decided to raid the places on the
grounds of it being a gambling game.
Saturday night was the time set, and
the matter was placed in the hands
of Detective KAPPA. On visiting the
Arlington parlors, the place was found
quiet and orderly, and the posse moved
on to Howe's near the corner of Nuu-
anu, where the game was found run
ming in full blast. About 80 players
were arrested and released on So bail
