CHAPTER ".

Ii any man would come after me, let him den,
himself and take up his cross daily and follow
| me.
Henry Maxwell paced his study bacl
and forth 1t was Wednesday, and h,
had started to think out the subject O
his evening service which fell upon tha
night.
Out Of one of his study windows HI
could sec the tall chimneys of the rail
road shops. The top of the evangelist
tent just showed over the building,
around the Rectangle.
The pastor of the First church looked
out of this window every time he turned
in his walk. After awhile he sat down
at his desk and drew large piece Of
paper toward him.
After thinking several moments he
wrote in large letters the following:
"ANUMBER OF THINGS THAT JESUS WOULD
PROBABLY DO IN THIS PARISH
81. Live in simple, plain manner.
without needless luxury on the one
hand or undue asceticism on the other
"2. Preach fearlessly to the hypo-
critics in the church, no matter what
their social importance or wealth.
80. Show in some practical form
sympathy and love for the common peo-
pie as well as for the well to co, edu-
Gated. refined people who make up the
majority of the church and parish.
50. Identify himself with the great
causes of humanity in some personal
way that would call for self denial and
suffering.
''5. Preach against the saloon in

companion of the sinful people in the

By Charles NJ. Sheldon.

Into this heart Of the coarse part Of
the sin Of Raymond the travelling evan.
gelist and his brave little wife had
pitched a good sized tent and begun
meetings Itwas the spring of the year,
and the evenings were beginning to be
pleasant The evsngelists had asked for
the help Of Christian people and had
received more than the usual amount
Of encouragement, but they felt great
need Of more and better music. During
the meetings on the Sunday just gone
the assistant at the organ had been
taken i'll. The volunteers from the city
were few and the voices of ordinary
quality
There will be a small meeting to-
night, John. said his wife as they en-.
tered the tent little after clock
and began to arrange Che chairs and
light up
Eyes; l think so. Mr.. Gray was a
small. energetic man. with a pleasant
voice and the courage Of a highborn
fighter He had already made friends
in the neighborhood and one Of his
converts, heavy faced man. who had
just come in, began to help in the ar
rangement of the seats
1t was after s o'clock when Alexan-
der Powers opened the door of his office
and started to go home He was going
to take car at She corner of the Rec
tangle, but as he neared it be was
aroused by voice coming from the
tent
1t was the voice Of Rachel Winslow.
1t struck through his consciousness Of
struggle over his own question that had
sent him into the Divine presence for
al answer. He had not yet reached
conclusion He was troubled with an
certainty. His whole previous course of
action as railroad man was the poor
est possible preparation for anything
sacrifcial, and he could not yet say
what he would do in the matter.
Harkl What was she singingH How
did Rachel Winslow happen to be down
here2 Several windows near by went
up. Some men quarreling in a saloon
stopped and listened. Other figures
were walking rapidly in the direction
of the Rectangle and the tent.
Surely Rachel Winslow never was
happier in her life. She never had sung
like that in the First church. 1t was a
marvellous voice What was it she was
singing? Again Alexander Powers, su-
perintendent of the machine shops.
paused and listened.

Where he leads me will follow,
Where he leads me will follow.
I'll 90 with him, with him all the way."
The brutal, stolid, coarse, impure life |
OF the Rectangle stirred itself int new
life as the song, as pure as the sur
roundings were vile, foated out into
saloon and den and foul lodging. Some
one stumbling hastily by Alexander
Powers said in answer to a question:
1.-The tents beginning to run over to-
night That's what the talent calls
music, eh2"
The superintendent turned toward
the tent Then he stopped, and after
moment of indecision he went on to the
corner and took the car for his home,
but before he was out of the sound of
Rachel's voice he knew that he had set
lied for himself the question of what
Jesus would do.

Robert Wilcox Of Chester and Will
liam Hurd of East Haddam, both of
whom have until recently been mem
bers of the Pope Manufacturing COM
pany's force, will sail for Colon, United
States Of Columbia, Wednesday, by the
Panama steamship line. 1t is the in
tention of Messrs. Wilcox and Hurd to
go into the business of raising, collect
ing and exporting rubber, and they ex-
pect to be gone about ten years.
They will take up unclaimed land
and establish a plantation, setting out
young rubber trees, but as these trees
cannot be tapped for two or three years
they will until that time devote them
selves to trading with the natives and
hope by this means to make sufficient
to keep them until their own trees be-
gin to yield The rubber business Is one
which pays large profits and makes
splendid openings for young men, the
only disadvantages connected with it
being the climate, which is extremely
trying to northern men, and the isola-
ton from civilization which must ac-
company life on a plantation in a
sparsely settled country.
The United States Of Colombia is anx-
Gus to attract Americans and offers
large inducements to such as will set
tie within it's borders. Both of these
young men have made a thorough
study of the rubber business and are
well qualified to make a success of it.
During the Spanish war they both vol
unteered their services, Wilcox being a
corporal in Company III, First Connecti-
cut Volunteer Infantry, and Hurd a
seaman in the United States auxiliary

The fire at $40 yesterday afternoon
was in the timing department Of 0. B.
North & Co.'s works on Franklin street,
near Chapel. In the process Of timing,
kerosene takes prominent part and
several watts of it are kept on hand and
are in almost constant use. The plGc-
ing of hot pieces of metal in these watts
of kerosene causes the fluid to ignite
sometimes. This is what caused the
blaze yesterday and the lid to one of the
watts that is used to smother the flames
refused to work. Some of the employees
became badly frightened and sent in an
alarm from box 35. The services of the
department were not needed, as the
flames were eXtinguished before their
arrival. About five gallons Of kerosene
were burned,

rjtrh


Effect of Hostile Opinion by Qua
ritch
Brayton Ives, a New York multi-mil-
lionaire, whose father a much esteemed
business man for many years resided
on West Chapel street, New Haven,
! was crossd-examined at length in New
York Tuesday by Austen G. Fox, in the
trial before Justice Leventrtt and a
jury for his action against the London
bookselling firm of Elliss & Elvey, to
! recover $S,7SS as damages for alleged
misrepresentation of an old printed
| copy of letter Of Columbus describ-
Ing his first voyage of discovery. Mr..
Ives paid about $4,374 for the book in
1890, and recouped himself on his al
legged loss by withholding the payment
due on other purchases in 1895. He al
leges that his book is a Photographic re-
print of the original, and is worth $255.
The New York Evening Post says: Mr..
Ives said that when he bought the book
he examined it with glass, had the
print submitted to all well known tests
and that Mr. Gilbert Ellis, a member
of the defendant firm, told him he had
no hesitation in pronouncing the print
genuine one from movable type. This
representation was oral, and Mr.. Ives
took no notes of the interview, but re-
lied entirely on his memory
In 1891, said MI Ives, he concluded to
sell some of the old books and prints,
and included the Columbus print in
the catalogue, which included a num-
Der of books printed in the latter part
Of the fifteenth century. Mr.. Ives did
this, although he had then heard that
Bernard Quaritch Of London had at
tackled the genuineness of the copy At
the sale, Dodd, Mead and company
bought the Columbus print for $4,000.
with the privilege of returning the
book if not satisfied. The privilege was
offered at the sale in view of the at
tack of Quartch, and the book was re-
turned to Mr. Ives in 1892.
The indications which led Mr.. Ives to
doubt the genuineness of his purchase
were that the letters ran into one an
other, and the lines were reprinted, SO
that the mechanical execution was bad
even for a Photographic reprint. En-
larged photographs Of portions of the
work made by E. r. lockwood, pho
tographer, were put In evidence. JUS
tice Leventritt announced that he
would adjourn court at o'clock, and
Mr. Ives cross, redirect, and recross
examinations occupied the entire day.
