CHAPTER ".

Colin had arrived in Sydney all safe.
They had shipped their cargo, and We're
hDmeward bound, when nearing the
Cape of Good Hope one OF the storms
peculiar to that litltude suddenly burst
upon them, Every man was called on
deck. but before they had time TO
shorten sail the storm had reached the
height of Its fury, The captain shout
cd his commands, but not a word could
be heard in the roar of the tempest.
Darkness and terror reigned, vivid
flash of lightning would now and then
leap forth from volume of black
cloud and light up the CHASTITY faces of
the sailors in the shrouds. Buffeted
and tossed about for hours the ship at
last sprang leak. The pumps being
useless the lifeboats were lowered and
passengers and crew jumped In and
pushed away from the sinking vessel
1t was well they did for in few mo-

YOUNG PREACHERS WANTED.
The Decreasing Demand for Veterans
in the Pulpit.


What shall we do with our old
mem is the question that Is puzzling
the venerable bishop that presided over
the Rock River conference of the Meth
odist church In Chicago. Time was
Wien the question that kept the clergy
sitting up nights was, What shall we
do with our boys But the boys seem
TO be capable of taking care of them
selves. Indeed. the boys are in great
demand i'm the pulpits of the Methodist
church If any one may Judge of the re-
quests sent 10 Bishop Merrill by nu-
merous churches asking for "a young
preacher" The popular desire to have
the bread of life broken by the beard
less graduates Of the theological school
Is crowding the old men 10 the wall
The venerable defenders of the faith
who have grown gray in the service of
the Master. and who influence men by
the power of strong personality, must
be relegated Ia satisfy the fashionable
religious fad for young preachers,
fresh from the lighthouses of the theo-
logical "conservatories.'
While 1t is true that the young
preachers must have chance to read
their profound dissertations to some
one. the sudden clamor for the dis
placement of the veterans cannot he
regarded as a healthful religious symp-
tom. Must the demand for young
preachers be attributed TO desire for
didactic lectures on all sorts of topics
outside of the gospel or to growing
appetite for sensational preaching? Is
the yellow kid style of preaching
crowding the grand old gospel sermons
TO the rear
We hesitate 10 believe that there is
any taste for yellow kid" sermonizing
in this conservative church. which has
exerted such wonderful influence on
the citizenship of the new republic.
Surely the gospel as 1t was preached
by Bishop Simpson and is preached to-
day by Moody has not lost It's hold on
the Methodist church.
This Is not written In dlsparagement
of the young preachers But to say that
the Methodist church prefers young
preachers to the rugged old defenders
of the faith, who preach the simple
gospel pure and indebted, and who
know Its power TO upllft men, is TO
confess that modern congregations
want intellectual or sensational enter
tainment Instead of the gospel sermons
that recognize man as sinner and in
need of redemption.-C Times

MODERN NEWSPAPERS.

The new journalist has no prejudiees
that interfere with his business ends
The founder of his school was the first
man 10 mako an absolutely nonpartisan
paper, and the successful men | talked
with declared that the best way com
mercially 20 make an editorial page
was to turn it over to some man with
mind and character who would direct
its policy independently and in good
faith in the interests of the community
as a whole. regardless Of parties,
oliques advertisers or any other inter
ests, however powerful But while this
If being done the business man who
proposes 60 conduct the enterprise
would have an equally independent
news department, and, having the most
intelligent readers to begin with, he
would broaden the news policy from
their point OF view, spending ms much as
sensatiunalism costs for more important,
better written news. In short, the conf
mercial ideal contains distinct appreeia-
ton Of the power Of opinion, but il
prizes just as highly the value of the
authoritative statement of all the news.

The days flew rapidly by. Colin had
been gone since July. II was drawing
near the end of October. and he had
promised 10 be back for Halloween, n
festival that is observed throughout NIL
Scotland. This is the night when The
fairies come and dance on the green
sward and the lads and lassies pry in
TO the future. Poor Janet, she WAS
doomed to disappointment and grief.
Halowmas came with lis games and
charms, and the merry children march
ing through the streets with their ean-
dies and custocks: but Colin did not
come. nor could any tidings be learned
of the vessel long past due.

SO far as the safety of life and prop
erty is concerned, Paris seems to have
improved but little since the days Of
Eugene Sue. The police appear quite
unable to grapple with the criminal
class, possibly because even under the
republic their chief duties are political.
A fortnight ago, however, they sue
ceeded in laying by the heels ''the band
OF Coco horde of young ruffians
who for months terrorized the districts
of Puteaux, Courbevole and Neuilly.
At least a dozen wayfarers had been
stripped of all they had upon them.
even to their tan boots and cravats-ar
tlcles for which the miscreants had n
special prediction. 1t Is surprising
that the police should have allowed
this sort of thing TO go on night after
night for so long period, but still
more astounding is the puslllanlmlty of
the Victims. Not one of them seems TO
have put up any kind of a fight or
made any disturbance, and in no in
stance did any of the bystanders come
to their assistance.

CHAPTER I.

She was a bonnie lassie, and many
an admiring glance fell upon her as
she stood on the Broomlelew that
beautiful summer morning, with the
sunlight falling around her and light
ing up her golden hair. The scene was
one of hustle and activity. Enormous
vessels, almost countless in number.
and from nearly every nation under the
sun. we're busy loading or unloading.
The great quay WIS crowded with
pleasure seekers going adoun the wat
ter and the Clyde steamers-the finest
fleet in the world-were pulling out
from their docks thronged with Glas-
gov citizens bound for the many de
llghtful resorts of which the Clyde
alone can boast.
The subject of my sketch stood apart
from the surging crowd, aud was look
ing wistfully into the dark eyes of a
young sailor who had just sprung
ashore TO bid her a last good-by. The
great ship In which he WAS about TO
sail lay Juggling nj her moorings. She

of his position, and would guard 1t

beside the fair young girl, who had
come to see him sail. His dark-blue,
neatly-titting sailor suit set off the fine
figure 10 advantage; the deep sailor col

Colin as he took her white dlmpled

Most game birds and animals, be-
cause of life of ceaseless activity, dc
not take on fat, and such should be
larded or cooked with slices OF bacon or
salt pork placed on them. Do not serve
birds with heads on and undrawn, as is
quite generally practiced, the latter
point being relic of sayagery, the for
mer an offense to sensitive nerves. II Is
pleasanter to enjoy bit of choice flesh

we are eating dead birds. This is not

An unaccountabIc mortality among
swine is Tho occasion of much talk at
Dexter, just now. w. +. Durham.
ESD. is reported to have lost over %
hogs and to have taken from his pen .
dead animals in one day Another
farmer is reported Us having lost 81.
\ current report alleges that the cause
is in feeding waste and Stops from
washing cans ut the creamery, on The
theory that some acid was used for
cleansing cans that was prejudicial to u
porker's stomach. This report is de-
clared to he nonsense by those in a
position to know. They say nothing
injurious is used in cleaning and #
there was it would go into the sewer
instead of into the waste barrels. They
say the real trouble is hos cholera.
The fact is. that many are using the
ere amcry waste for feeding to sWineand
no trouble has occurred except in the
two pens mentioned.
