her inclination, as she wore fine gold
bangles ON her arms, but she found Ger.
tain advantages in being we'll dressed,
she said, and facility thence in gain
ing the ear Of those who otherwise
might have refused her an audience.
The Hindoo woman she was visiting
had long since accepted her as an ustar-
din, or teacher, and would soon, Lillian
believed, become formally a Christian.
On approaching the house, therefore,
she was surprised to see outside a young
Hindoo female STOPPING down at the
threshold and tracing white lines with
four-a charm. she we'll knew, intended
to ward of evil. This woman had
smeared her face and such part of her
body as was uncovered with q solution
of saffron and water to make herself
look ''fair. This was one of the SUPER
stitious rites from which Lillian had,
she imagined, quite weaned her friends.
The house was built of sun dried clay
bricks, whitewashed with chunam and
having inside the entrance the usual
room with a pial, or raised alcove, on
each side for receiving visitors. Lillian,
followed by Nasiban, went in, the Hin
doc woman outside simply saying that
they could enter.
There seemed, Lillian thought, some-
thing very strange about the place that
day, but she was anxious to see her friend
and hurried to the portion of the house
set apart for females. She went in, and
then, Injured as she was to much that is
trying and startling, she stood for a
moment petrified. Before her, on all evil
dent bier, in half sitting posture and
covered with bedclothes, she beheld her
late pupil with the fatal ground rice
and betel showing between her lips,
and on her forehead the trident mark of
Vishnu. Lillian knew well these secta-
rian marks made with sandalwo0d
paste and used to denote what god is
worshiped by the person who bears
them. Her face flushed with righteous
indignation. She exclaimed in Tamil,
"Who has dared to do this?" and STEP
ping forward took her handkerchief and
erased the symbol of idolatry. Then,
taking some of the paste that sne per-
ceived in a jar close by, she made a
cross on the brow of the dead woman,
in the impulse of that passionate mo-
ment hardly thinking what she was
doing.
While thus engaged a man, treading
inaudibly on his shoeless feet and wear

left shoulder to the right side, stole soft

Is Gibraltar Useless?

Amarticle of exceptional interest-evi-
IDENTIFY written by a Spanish military eff
cer-appears in the Memorial de Artil-
leria, showing that the extended range of
modern artillery has completely revolu-
tonized the conditions which have hitherto
enabled Gibraltar to protect it's own arsenal
and doCkyard and to afford safety for YES
sells at anchor under the guns of the for
tress.
When Gibraltar was taken by the Eng
lish in 1904, the greatest range for artillery
fire was only about 1900 yards, SO that a
fleet under the batteries of Gibraltar was
secure against attack from the Spanish
coast
1t is now pointed out that with COM
paratiyely small expenditure of money By
the Spanish government batteries con-
structod in the bay Of Algeciras, upon the
ridge of mountains known as the Queen of
Spain's Chair, would actually command
Gibraltar at distance of 5000 yards, and
would be capable of demolishing the whole
length of the, fortifcations from the Gal
leries to Europa point. These Spanish bat
teries would also threaten the entry of ships
OF war to Moles. This plan would merely
involve the mounting of some 40 heavy
gums of from AZ inch to IL inch caliber
and similar number of howitzers.
At the present moment the strategical
points ON this part of the Spanish coast are
entirely unfortifed, and with Spain's pres
ent embarrassments in Cuba and the Phi
lippines it is not likely, as the Broad Ar
row points out that the Madrid govern
ment will take immediate action In the
matter But that these batteries may be
constructed some day or other Is far from
improbable, and, In view of the great inn
portance to England Of Gibraltar as a naval
base and the renewed expenditure upon
Its combined arsenal and dockyard the
subject is beginning to attraot the serious
attention Of naval and military authorities.

And with that word, uttered in an in
tensely contemptuous tone, Prohrada left
Lillian where she stood. for the first time
in all her experience Of missionary work
among the natives thoroughly un-
nerved and frightened at she knew not
what.
Returning to the bungalow, Lillian
had encountered Ross. He perceived at
once that something had happened, and
although she was not as a rule given to
speak of her own personal adventures,
she little by little communicated the in
cident of her encounter with the Brah-
man. Ross felt and looked serious.
"Dear Lillian" he said-"let me SO
address you-believe me, sympathize
completely with all you do and desire.
know how hard you find it to live
with your brother, and know how ut
terly single minded You are, but you
must not run into peril. Yours is life
too precious to be exposed to danger.
You must not think that am given up
to worldly care as if life had nothing
else. 1t is not so long since l thought
what can it avail to convert even few
hundred out of these countless millions?
l think and feel differently now. We
have individually only individuals to
consider, and had meant to work and
help you, but you must let me protect
you as-as your brother would if he
were only myself. "
Ross felt and looked awkward as
he got out these words, but Lillian re-
ceived them in all simplicity, and
rightly held them as sincere, which they
were. She gave Ross her hand frankly
and welcomed him as another helper on
her side, and he felt within his secret
self that now at all events to touch on
the love he felt for this self denying
girl so entirely absorbed in others would
be sort of profanity. No, he must
work, hope and wait.

ly in, and as Lillian drew back confront.
ed her, asking in a low but peculiar
tone, "Why have you done this?"
"Because she is Christ's," was the
spontaneous reply, and the fearless and
yet kind, compassionate eyes met his
with power that he felt though he
would not yield to it.
"She is Vishnu's," he replied, and
this time his voice was harsh and
threatening.
''Had she lived" rejoined Lillian,
"she would have been baptized. You
know that she had learned to abhor
your monstrous creeds and unbearable
eruelties. You have no right to ma7k
her with your idol signs"
''The mem sRhib," " said the Brahman
grave1y, sis unjust and illogical. Did
you not teach your pupil that the hand
of the Lord your God was all mighty
and that his eyes see everywhere?' Well,
where is the difference in what you call
our idols? You say there is no salvation
without faith, buS we have faith too.
Why do you come here to vex cur peo-
pie and make them die, as this woman
died, in despair?'
Lillian had encoulTttred this Brahman
before He was Prohada and had done
more than amy other native in that place
to destroy the influence of her mission
ary efforts among them She looked at
him resolutely. "You mean," she said,
"by dying rniserably in despair that she
did not die in your hideous medley of
conflicting creeds. Let the work of

CHAPTER ELI

Ii ever there was a living embodi-
ment of sympathy on this earth, it was
certainly to be found in Lillian Karney.
She sympathized up to certain point
with her selfish brother and made al
Yowance for him and his shortcomings
which he dreamed not off,. OF herself
she hardly ever thought at all, and she
was as unconscious of her personal
charms as the nightingale is of it's yo-
cal sweetness. She was irs truth one of
those self forgetting beings who live
more in the life of those about them
than in their own, and she did good SO
far as her powers permitted without
prerneditation or effort. When her
brother had wondered how she, d lady
refined and intellectual, could bring
herself to come in oontaet with the
wretched, ignorant beings, old women,
hideous and ragged, and often anything
but agreeable to the olfactory sense, ow-
ing to the ghee wherewith they were
often anointed, she simply looked as
sonished, and only answered that all
she had ever thought about was their
souls. In fact, Charles Karney, wha
would not have crossed the road to save
native from drowning, except for pub
lie opinion, satisfied such conscience as
he had by saying that no doubt his sis
ter enjoyed what she did. Why, then,
should he interfere with her pleasuresf
Her money was in his factory, and ali
he had to d. was to take care that sae
drew as littls frcm him as possible.
Accompanied only by Nasiban who
generally formed Lilian's bodygusrd
on these missions of mercy, Lillian was
now rapidly traversing some ricefeIds,
on her way to the Hindoo woman who
had expressed so earnest desire to see
her, and as she presses on it is easy to
perceive that she is no common mortal.
Lillian was of the middle height, singu-
larly fair and delicate of skin, with
somewhat aquiline profile that lost in
softness what it suggested in force. Her
hair was golden, and her eyes, of warm,
sympathetic brown, reflected the innate
kindness of her nature. In order the
more readily to obtain admission into
the houses Of the people Lillian, greatly
to her brothers. annoyance, had adopt
ed the costume Of the country to some
extent, wearing over her ordinary
clothing silk cloth about IL yards
