triendsbGry was the p3latial residence Of
the late Miss Melissa Baker one of the
most widely known women in the NJ T.
Church South. She died recently. One who
knew her well said:
During her life her ardent love for the
church of her choice was shown not only
by her large and constant contributions to
all of the Institutions of the Southern Meth
odist Church. but also by her personal effort
to organize the women for more successful
effort and more efficient service. She knew
all the needs OF the church, and kept her
self in touch with all of its interests
Looking over all the ground and after
consultation with those who were alive TO
the Obligations Of the church, she left to the
WomanS Home Missionary Society of the
NJ. +. Church South her splendid estate in
Baltimore, together with $4,000 as an en-
d0Wment fund. She could not have chosen
4 more worthy object for her generous ben
efacti0ns, or one with more sure promise
OF usefulness and continued benefit to the
church at large. The purpose of the home
VIII be mainly to train young women for
mission work.
The NJ. E. Church South has put TO the
utmost test her ability to graphic with the
greatest problem on earth-the foreign mis-
sionary movement. 1t is certain that she
will take a more active part in the home
field. Through this home the young Wo-
men Of the church will have professional

for whipping out his revolver, but l was
first and covered him.
Try to draw that weapon and you're a
dead man." l said sternly and l meant it,
too, as he read In my looks.
The major had not had time to interfere,
but now he said:
Put up your weapon, sir, and consider
yourself under arrest, whoever you are
Your private quarrel you must settle some
other time
I'm willing to settle 1t now across the
table, said l.

out of the room, or I'll leave it,
But at that moment an interruption came.

they had been expecting had arrived. With

The Meaning Of "TwO-Ten.'
From Tit-Bits.

From Tt-Bits. -
An amusing experience of the Baroness
Burdett-Coutts is going the rounds. The
baroness was once shopping in Paris and
was passed from one department to another
by the shopmen. always with the remark,
."Two-ten." She was escorted from counter
to counter, and everywhere the cabalistic
words "two-ten" were repeated.
Struck by the popularity of this refrain,
the baroness asked the proprietor as she
left the establishment: Pray what does
.two-ten' mean? noticed each assistant
said 1t to the other wherever I went in
"Oh, 1t is nothing" he replied; merely
a password that they are in the habit of
exchanging"
But the baroness was not satisfied with
this explanation, so in the evening, when
the porter, young boy, brought home her
purchases, she said:
my boy. would you like to earn five
francs?'
OF course, he had no objection
Tell me- said the lady, what does
'two-ten' mean and 1 will give YOU five
francs"
why, don't you know ma ann" said he
evidently astounded at her ignorance. 1T
means keep your two eyes on her ten fin
gersr
The mystery was solved The shopmeu
of the Tro,s Quarters had taken the rich
est and the most generous woman in Great
Britain for shoplifter.

There was dead silence in the room for

when l could get my voice quite steady.
He shrugged his shoulders.
/ would not condesCend to plead for my
life, and said no more. 1 stood thinking of
my suddenly broken career, and of the girl
whom | loved so passionately. 1t was the
thought of her pain that made me vince.
My reVerie was broken by the major. Look
ing at me searchingly, he said:
You can save your life if you will. Give
your word to say nothing of what you have
seen here. and agree to help Lieut.. Won
Mason in
Enough of that, If you please" broke
in. Il hold the man who tempts as big a
scoundrel as the one who listens. My honor

Then he called in the guard
How long have I to live?' I asked.

the guard. This time they took me out of

of them was surprised at the jangle of

floor my hands came in contact with

vowing that now l would have a fight for
my life, 1 began to wonder who could have
