The agent pointed to a clupp of tree'

of mile distant. You kin see just q

How about these things while i am
gone? Will they be safe?" inquired.
"Oh. yes; no onell take 'em. It'll be
all right" he replied, indifferently, as
though he did not care whether my lug
gage would be secure or not. Then he
gave one more glance at me. grinned in
his dull way, sprang from the platform,
and went Off down the road.
All the country for miles about Nell
sonville had been familiar to my boy
hood. But now. after an absence of IS
years, could hardly recognize this part
of it.
The railroad had been built some five
years before, and that made, in itself,
n great change. The station was in a
valley, and the fertile fields and dark
green forests on the bounding hills were
all very beautiful.
But, as there were few houses, and

She scenes of my childhood. also de-
termined, after my arrival, to begin a
thorough investigation of the robbery
on my own hook. The reason / had
not done this before will be stated later.
The solitude of Sidington, the lack
of welcoming hand, the knowledge
that 1 had outgrown all boyish esti-
mates and would therefore find the old
homestead no longer encompassed
about by the romantic interest which
a youngsters mind was able to conjure
up-all this did not tend to raise my de-
pressed spirits. and my heart was heavy
within me as plodded up the long,
dusty hill toward the home of Mr.. Hun
sicker.
A delicious breeze was blowing at the
top of the hill, and paused q moment
under the shade of the naples. to bare
my perspiring brow to IL cool in
fluence.
Then slowly walked up the shady
path leading to the porch, keeping my
hat in my hand. Ihoped Mr.. Hunsicker
would be at the house for dinner, for
1 determined not to go out into the hot
fields to search for him.
A KNOCK at the open front door caused
an interruption in the clatter of dishes
which proceeded from IN inner room
and very soon shutting footsteps ap-
preached the door.
A tall, stoop-shouldered individual

ASIDE from the Catholic and Episco-
pal churches, the denominational sit
uation is as follows: In the United
States alone, there are no less than IL
distinct Baptist churches, ten Metho-
dist, 10 Presbyterian, each striving to
build up its own interests. The result
IS that denominational emulation con-
sumes n large part of their efforts, and
hundreds of unnecessary churches are
established. Church federation is en-
gaging the attention OF the foremost
religious thinkers OF the age. All con-
cede its desirability, but all are not
agreed as to its practicability.

the resolution which will finally be adopt
ed and sent to the President Aside from
the interest which naturally would be ex-
cited in the outcome OF the debate upon
resolutions of such grave import those
now pending before Congress- there is the
additional interest caused by the fact that there
appears TO be a chance at least that the resolu-
tiOn II comes from the conference committee

ence Of the Cuban Republic. What action would
be taken by the President IN that case cannot
be stated with any degree Of certainty. but the
indications are that the resolution might be re-
turned to Congress without Executive approval,
or allowed to become law without the Presi-
dents signature

OF the Capitol see no reason why they should

It is believed by many OF these leaders that
the President would refuse. in self-respect TO
