duet of its secretary, the Rev. Edwin A
Sohell, d. D., was suddenly terminated to-
day by his own act in rendering his resig-
nation TO the Board of Control This was
done after the board, with but one dis
sentlng vote, had adopted the report of
the committee in these words:
I'VE ind the Epworth League to be in
state Of unrest by reason of the agita-
uon over the official conduct of General
secretary Edwin A. Schell, d. ID. This
unrest seems to be due in part to the mis-
conception of the action of the Board of
control al its meeting in Indianapolis,
caused by the reading into its statement

neiIt which it did not express and had

John Lawson Continued to Ride
Though in Great Agony.
Kansas City, Nov. 24.-John Lawson, the
Terrible swede" did not ride in the for
ty-eight hour bicycle race at Convention
Hall to-day, and the chances are that he
viii not be able 10 take part in the coming
New York grind.
1t developed that his collar bone had
been broken in his fall yesterday. He was
at the track and offered to go ahead and
do his best, but as he could use only the
left hand in steering his wheel the man
agement decided upon his withdrawal.
Lawson's injury was sustained yester-
day during the first hour Of the days
riding. He was picked up and put on his
wheel, and with rare fortitude rode hur-
ricane half-mile in his endeavor to keep
his loss down to two laps.
For seven hours and twenty minutes
Lawson rode, his face showing little of
the anguish he felt During the closing
hours he asked to have a doctor called TO
examine his shoulder, but his handlers Sc
cured some medicine and applied it after
half carrying the exhausted rider from
the track
Lawson finished the regular race at $50,
third from the front. and few minutes
later, although suffering severe pain,
mounted a 1SO-pound motor tandem with
a mate and steered It for an additional
half mile at a speed of $50. 1t was not
until midnight that physician examined
the riders injury when it was discovered
that the collar bone was broken. In his
racing career Lawson has twice suffered
a fracture of the collar bone.
Seven riders got away at 1913 to-day
with Miller slightly in the lead The score
at $3.50 tonight. at the end of the twenty
fourth hour, follows:
Miller, julius and Gus Lawson, each ASS
miles one lap.
Repine, ass miles,
Waller, asa miles II laps
Iingefelder. 4S3 miles laps.

Cloud-canopied, clad in the curtain of

The top of the pine-covered mountain

The dark purple pail of the cloud hovers

With echoes fun resonant, rich and har-
monious, tuned to the music OF
oceans soft moan.
Yet not from the mountain, nor lightning

Nor pine tree with scent like the in

Mr.. ODDIES COURTSHlP.

Mr.. Markham Oddie was a model
lodger, an old bachelor. and a heart
whole man. That is to say, he was all
three until the day - considerably past
his fortieth birthday that a special
fate took him in hand and brought him
face to face with the younger of two
women who had recently come to live
in one of the houses opposite. They
were evidently mother and daughter:
/ both were come1y, and the last named
! of the two had one of the sweetest faces
that it had ever been Mr. Oddie's luck
| TO behold. She happened to drop
small parcel while walking along their
mutual road, and he hurried after her
/ with it, Immersed in her own thoughts,
1 the woman did not hear him call polite
J ly to her, and quite colored UP when
/ the packet was presented; but the smile
! with which she received it went
! straight through Mr.. Oddie's somewhat
antiquated waistcoat. All the even
! ing he thought of that smile, as he read,
without the least taking it in, THE
! Globe" turnover which that night
was entitled Faded Relatives" When
! he went TO bed, he endeavored with the
aid of three candles, to get an impartial
view of that region of the top of his
head where the hair ought to have been.
/ but now, alas. was not. That bald
| spot had not troubled him much up to
| that time; now he regarded it with
mistrust. However, Mr.. Oddie COM
forted himself with the reflection that
many men at his age were much balder,
and that his moustache was What you
might call spruce.
1 Mr. O5dia had led ar1oia hla Y111po-
tual, uneventful existence, going to and
returning from the city every weekday
with regularity and dispatch = the kind
of person who is never asked for his
season ticket. He was comfortably
off, and had no one dependent upon
him: the few relatives he possessed
lived in the shires. Now and then a
| batch of country cousins came up to
town on pleasure bent: Mr.. Oddie there
upon exerted himself valiantly to con-
duct them to Nine. Tussauds, the Tow
! er, the British Museum, and other
places of wild excitement. Afterward
| he looked a, little pale and wan for two
or three days, and put up his feet after
dinner.
Mr. Oddie had remained a bachelor
all these years. possibly because nobody
not that he objected to women: on the
contrary, he admired the fair sex, as a
whole, quite unreseryedly, and had the
incest Of dear, old-fashioned notions
about them But he had never given
his heart to any one particular woman,
and his landlady looked upon him as
! fixture.
The returning of that apparently in
nocent looking parcel marked an epoch.
! Life was never the same again to the
| little old bachelor. He had not watched
| Miss Hexham's gentle face and we'll
developed but graceful figure for ten
days before he became convinced that
| it was not good for q corn dealer to
| live alone. TT hardened him. said
! Mr. Oddie, to himself. and he stirred
his coffee with self-reproaching stern
| ness.
The record-union., 1899-09-17

My daughter said Mrs. Hexham
after pause, desired me to tell you
how very, very grateful she is to you
| for your letter and the flowers. she
| has gone away for a short time to stay
with friends. She-she thought it best. :
Mr.. Oddie sat there. unable to utter
a word. She had gone away, because
she thought it best" That meant tina,
| there was no hope for him.
Mrs. Hexham's eyes filled with tears
as she looked at him. sOh," she cried,
Il am SO sorry - so very sorry! You
am sure. OF course, you did not know,
or you would not have thought of it."
| Thought of what?' asked Mr.. Oddie,
| heavily.
''Of marrying my poor Agatha. You
did not know that she is deaf and
dumb?"
Mr.. Oddie stared at the speaker in
blank amazement; it was fully min
ute before he grasped the significance
OF what she was saying. 1t was the
daughter, not the mother, who was
| afflicted as Mrs. Roper would have
! phrased it. Never once had this possi-
bility entered Mr. Oddie's head. He
| was silent, and Mrs. Hexham contin-
ued:
My poor girl is very sensitive, and
| your kindness went to her heart, / can
assure you. was to be sure and say
that she would always keep the most
grateful remembrance Of you.'
| Mr.. Oddie pulled himself together,
and rose to his feet. At this moment
there was something almost noble about
his rather tubby little figure.
| Madam he said firmly, your
daughter is an angel, and I love her.
Will you have the goodness to give me
! her address - that is, if you will sane
tion my asking her to do me the honor
to be my wife?"
! Mrs. Hexham wiped her eyes and be-
gan to smile in an April-like fashion.
1T seems rather unconventional, .
she said: 'but it is not exactly an or
dinary case, is it? And am sure you
are good man. Mr.. Sedley, the vicar,
was talking about you only the other
! day, and saying how charitable you
We're. Agatha has the sweetest dispo-
sition, and she is SO quick you hardly
realize that she is not like other peo-
pie. Indeed, I think you would be
!! very happy together
Il think we three would be very hap
py together" answered Mr.. Oddie, en-
phasizing the three He took the
I widows hand and kissed it with old
/ fashioned gallantry.
/ Now" he said. you must tell me
/! where Miss Agatha is, and let me go
and try my luck"
! 1t is unnecessary to mention at what
unearthly hour Mr.. Oddie required his
/ breakfast the next morning, or to state
| that he hardly ate a mouthful of it,
Mrs. Roper began to wonder whether
! her lodger We're under conviction Of
sin, and mournfully to hope that the
/ brand might be snatched from the
burning, even at the eleventh hour.
/ In the afternoon of the same day,
Mrs. Hexham might have been seen
reading a telegram, with a beaming
face It was not long one, for it
contained only five words: Love from
Agatha and Markham. The Sketch.
