The last issue of The Oracle under the
old board of editors appears to-day. It is
one Of the best Oracles ever produced and
the board deserves great praise for its
work. The paper contains six extra pages
and two half-tone cuts; one of the athletic
team, which did such good service at Clare
mont at the last meet, and one of the
board Of editors which has served so faith
fully for the last year. These cuts are
undoubtedly the best that have ever
appeared in the Oracle, and are indeed
very great addition to this issue. The
success of our high school paper for the
last year has been largely due to the siren
uous efforts and businesslike methods Of
Kendall Banning, editor-in- chief, who has
never ceased in his determination to make
the Oracle worthy of the school which i,

Rev. N. w. Alger Welcomed.

A large audience Sunday welcomed N.
W. Alger at the Baptist church, of which
he was for several years the honored pas
tor. Ten years ago he went west and has
for several years been living at Albuquer-
que, N. M.
Mr.. Alger took as his subject, "Does it
pay to be a Christian" but instead of
preaching, he said it was bis intention to
talk over things with his former people.
This be did in very interesting manner.
He spoke Of the many changes for the bet
ter both in town and church, of how dit
ferent the church and parsonage were in
outward appearance from those Of ten
years ago. Alter commencing them for
all the improvements and speaking of sew
eral pleasant memories in connection with
his pastorate here he spoke briefly of the
church in Albuquerque.
The population of Albuquerque is very
uncertain. 1t is composed mostly of peo-
pie going there from the east for their
health; they remain only a short time and
then return east. Thus cbur Oh there is
constantly composed OF different members.
The church is very poor and hardly able to
keep alive. In answer to the question why
the church was not larger, he told the fol-
lowing story, ga little girl came running
to her mother one day exclaiming, MAN.
ma l found your religion up in tie trunk!
The mothers letter from her home church
bad never been taken from the trunk since
she had been west" ''Tbis," he said sac.
counts fer the smallness of the church.
Mrs. Alger has been with her daughter
Mrs. E. A. Field, for several months. Mr.
Alger joined her about three weeks age
and they expect to leave Monday for Can
ada, their former home.
1t i, quite probable that Mr.. Alger may
preach next Sunday also.

The John E0Vy Manuscripts.
By CHARLES W. HARDWOOD.

copyright. 1898, by the Author.]
Kepler Paine had swung his chair
around facing his guests, but his hand
still rested affectionately on copy of
The Maxima. which lay open upon his
desk. There was an air of entire salts
faction on Paine's face. The Maxima
was just out that day, and it contained
a story which he had written year be-
fore, the first of his stories which that
magazine had deigned to accept.
Jack Hall was lying upon the lounge
with pipe in his mouth, and Frarie
had just entered the room. A thin faced,
dark complexioned man was Frarie, al
ways cool, self possessed and critical
With quiet but friendly greeting he
sat down and helped himself to ciga-
rette from Paine's box. Frarie wrote
the book reviews for The Polygon.
II looked over your story in the ad-
vance Sheets he remarked, blowing
out cloud of smoke. 81 gave you three
lines. There are good poll about that
story, Paine. Your burglar is undenia-

"There is story about that, Frarie.
John Navy was an actual burglar whom

II thought as much" said Frarie,
with satisfaction.
Hall sprang up and went to the table
to shake out his pipe and refill it.
KEEP, I've heard just enough about
that old burglar to make me curious, {"
he said abruptly. "How did you get &C.
quainted with yonr interesting friend?"
"Tell us about it if you dom mind"
added Frarie.
"You may have heard of the Penni-
we'll bank robbery, which occurred about
seven years ago." Paine began. "The
Navy gang made that break. Its leader,
old John Navy, was the most auda-
cious burglar of his day. His skill and
holiness had drawn around him pick
ed lot of clever criminals, stanch men,
all of them, and adopts at their calling.
"We in Maine had heard little about
their operations until they visited the
town of Fenniwell, dozen miles from
Bolton, and broke into the vault of its
bank. They had secured most of the
money when an alarm was raised and

they were compelled TO ny. All OF them
escaped except Navy. Laden as he was
with the bulk of the spoils, he nearly
eluded his pursuers by running to COW
er in the ravines of Colquatt mountain.
There, before he was brought to bay, he
safely concealed his plumber, and to this
day it has never been found"
"Of course reward was offered"
said Frarie.
Certainly. The Penniwell money is
as seductive to the people of that vicin-
ity as Captain Kidd's gold, and even
now they will not allow a stranger to
go up on the mountain side alone. 1t
was useless to question Navy. He was
true to his associates as long as he lived,
and unusual precautions were taken to
prevent his sending them any message. I"
How did you come to know him?"
II used to do some charitable work

prison, where he was confined"

Jack Hall specifically inquired.
''Come, Hall, let him alone" Frarie
interposed. "We want to hear about the
burglar"
