CHAPTER x.
WAITING FOR HELP.

IF ever a fellow was bewildered by a
single speech, it was Richard Gordon. I
walked up and down that platform till
was called to breakfast, trying to de-
eide what Miss Cullen had expressed,
only to succeed in reading 80 different
meanings in her parting six words. l
wanted to think that it was her way of
suggesting that I deceived myself in
thinking that there was anything be-
tween Lord Rallies and herself; but,
though I wished to believe this, I had
seen too much to the contrary to take
stock in the idea. Yet couldn't believe
that Madge was a coquette. became
angry and hot with myself for even
thinking it for a moment.
Puzzle as 7 did over the words,
managed to eat good breakfast and
then went into the Cullens' car and
electrified the party by telling them of
Camps and Fred's dispatches and how
had come to overhear the former. MIR.
Cullen and Albert couldn't say enough
about my cleverness in what had really
been pure luck and seemed to think l
had sat up all night in order to hear
that telegram. The person for whose
opinion cared the most, Miss Cullen,
didn't say anything, but she gave me a
look that set my heart beating like a
trip hammer and made me put the most
hopeful construction on that speech of
hers. 1t seemed impossible that she
didn't care for Lord Rallies and that
she might care for me; but, after having
had no hope whatsoever, the smallest
crumb of a chance nearly lifted me off
my feet.
We had consultation over what was
best to be done, but didn't reach any
definite conclusion till the station agent
brought me telegram from the post
master general Breaking it open, I read
aloud:
Do not allow service Of writ and retain pos
session Of letters according to prior instruc,
tions. At the request of this department the
secretary Of war has directed the command
ing officer at Fort Whipple to furnish you with
military protection, and you will call upon him
at once, If in your judgment it is necessary. Or
to territorial authorities. Keep department
notified.
"Oh, splendid" cried Madge, clap,
ping her hands.
"Mr. Camp will find that other peo.
pie can give surprise parties as well as
himself" said cheerfully.
you'll telegraph at once?" asked
Mr.. Cullen.
INSTANTLY" said, rising, and add
ed, Don't you want to see what ]
say, Miss Cullen?"
"Of course I dop' she cried, eagerly
jumping up.
Lord Rallies scowled as he said: eyes.
Let's see what Mr.. Superintendent has
to say"
"You needn't trouble yourself, "
said But he followed US into the sta
tion. was disgusted, but at the same
time it seemed to me that he had come

How to Care For q Lamp.

Oil in lamp should not be allowed
to get down to less than one-half the
depth Of the reservoir The wick should
be soft and completely fill the space for
it, but without crowding. A lamp should
be neither suddenly cooled nor exposed
to the draft. In extinguishing the flame
the wick should first be turned far down
and then a sharp, quick puff blown
across and not straight down upon the
flame

the transmission of newspapers and
periodicals through the mail.
In 1870, postal cards were first
adopted into use by England. At
present, under the extensive Union
Postale Universelle, now generally
adopted by the nations, postal cards,
at two cents each, are current among
all civilized nations.
It must be we'll remembered that as
recently as the year 1840, when postal
reform was first adopted, and even
later, the postage on a single letter
across the Atlantic was an English
shilling, almost equal to 25 cents. OF
late years this has been reduced to five
cents, and, last of all, there is the
2-cent postal card, under Union Pos
tale Universelle. This may be regard
ed as almost next door to no postal
charge at all.
1t may be here observed that envel-
opes, now 80 general, were little used
in correspondence by letter until they
were adopted under Rowland Hills
postal reform. Up to that period they
were mainly used in the government
offices, whose correspondence passed
free, by franks, through the post
Office.
As the old rule was that q letter, in
closed in an envelope, was subject to
double postage, the public at large
may be said not to have recognized
the envelope. Members of both
houses of parliament, who had the
franking privilege almost exclusively,
employed them. Now, and for many
years past, the manufacture of envel-
opes has been an important branch OF
productive industry among the nations.
The much increased consumption OF
cards is another branch of trade that
has been much augmented by the pos
tai consumption.
When the adhesive stamps were
about being issued, to supersede the
Mulready envelopes, the postofice au-
thorities were perplexed, at first, by a
difficulty connected with the cumming
of them. 1t was found that gum ara.
bic, the best medium in this case for
adhesiveness and cleanliness, was very
costly, as only the finest quality could
be used. In this instance, the govern.
ment offered a handsome reward to
the person who could get them out OF
the difficulty.
A young clerk in the London stamp
Office remembered and stated how his
mother, in Ireland, had been accus-
toned to employ for domestic use, not
the English starch made from wheat,
but substitute prepared from potato,
which yields the purest and largest
supply, Carolina rice ranking next to
it in this particular.
From this Irish starch, thus intro
duced into postal employment, gum
is made, by manipulation with water
and heat, which, being good as we'll as
cheap, was pronounced to be the best
vehicle for giving the required adhe-
sive quality to the postal stamp.
have no reason to believe that any
substitute for this has been adopted in
the English postoffice.
1t may be asked-were Rowland
Hill's sanguine expectations from pos
tai reform fulfilled? The answer may
be brief: In 1889, before the penny
postage was instituted, the net annual
sum realized for the British revenue
was $12,0O0,OO0. This proportion of
the national income had reached $31, ;
100000 in the year 1879. The author
of this great change died at the ad-
vanced age of "a.

an unpleasant thought Whatever his
motive he was third party in the writ

and drafted it. I didn't try to make

a guard and when might expect it, but

case, which was hardly necessary.

THE MISSIONARY CONFER
ENCE.
From The Boston Courant.

LIVELY ADDRESS BY THE REV. DR..
JOHNSON, OF WASHINGTON, D. C.
The Rev. DR.. w. Bishop Johnson,
Editor ofthe " National Baptist Maya
zine" of Washington, D. c., and the
general manager of the publishing
house of the negro Baptists in the
United States, gave lively address
before the New England Baptist Mis-
sionary Convention at Jewell Hall last
evening, urging the black man to sup
port and care for their own publica-
tions. DR.. Johnson said that he was
black man through and through and
had an impression that the reason why
the negro had been educated and as
sisted by the white people for the past
twenty-five years was that he might
feel his own strength and be man.
This education had been for the pur-
pose of opening to him fields of use
| fulness that were closed to him before,
and he wanted the negro Baptists
of the country to come up to their
privileges and support their own mag
azine, their own Sunday school litera-
ture and other publications by the
race for the uplifting of the people.
Of the magazine he said that every
bit Of 1t, from cover to cover, was the
product of negro brains and Of negro
skill ip printing. The poem on "The
Negro" in the current number was
written by man who was "blackel
than 10, 900 midnights'" The mission
of the educated negroes of the coun
try was to perserve in all efforts tC
build up the race. God had not ye
ceased to work out the distinctive pur
pose for which the black man wa:
placed in this country. The negro
was not here to be ''aSSimilated" ou
of sight, nor lynched out, nor flooded
out, but was here to fulfill the mission
set for him, and until that was done
the race had its great work before 1t
The speaker did not wish to raise ;
race cry; he was friendly to all thing
that were good, but he was firmly con
vinced that the negro must work ou
his mission as a negro. The negro
Baptists in the country numbered
E SOC, 900 and "when you get that mum
Der of negroes together" said DR.
Johnson, "you get more intelligence
and more ignorance than in any othe
denomination in the country" DR.
Johnson had not been in favor of Sun
day school literature which wa
taught to his father and which hat
for its chief text. Servants, ODE,
your masters" The literature publish
ed by the educated Christian negroe
of to-day was quite different affal
and he was glad to commend it.

of the country than all other diseases

years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven catarrh to be consti-
tutional disease, and, therefore, re-
quires constitutional treatment. Halls
