Visitors TO the revivals are taken to
the barges in rowboats The ignorance
OF some of the country people is not
proof against the terrific word MIC
lures, drawn by the crude eloouenee
or Noah Lynch of the flood which Ia

converts seem to honestly believe that
Lynch is the modern Noah, and bro.
fess faith in the certainty of the pro-
phesied flood.
others OF the converts, and the
bulk of them. are mere shams Life
N the ark is very easy and much more
attractive to indolent minds and
bodies than the drudgery of farm
work. Each new convert contributes
all OF his or her worldly wealth to
the common fund: the surrounding
waters abound with fish, and veget-
ables can be had from the farming
folk in the vicinity for next to moth
ing The women on the boats per-
form the bulk of the work. and this
consists almost wholly of preparing
the meals which are models of SIM
plicity
The regulators would never have
been called into life had it not heen
Tor the fact that Noah Lynch and his
cohorts were, like the Mormons of old,
making particular efforts to induce
young country girls to become con-
Yerts, aud in several cases had sue
ceeded. One OF the last converts Of
this kind was the daughter of a family
famed for its responsibility in the
vicinity, and although the father and
mother eXerted strenuous efforts to
induce the girl to return to her home
she resisted all appeals
The fact that the sanctifcationists
are followers of the MormCus In the
matter of their domestic life also
helped to bring about the uprising
against them. The feeling had been
very strong prior to their efforts to
convert the young girls, owing to the
number of homes which had been
broken up by the desertiCu of either
the father or the mother

Every people and every time have
their cranks, and of this class are the
so-called santificationists who a few
years ago expected a second deluge
and made preparations accordingly
This was not far from Norfolk, Va.
when upon the placid waters of Curl
tuck sound, near the mouth OF the
Chowan river, were four barge ike
house boats ready for the crisis.
There we're $50 mu, women. and a
few children on board and they all
looked toward Christmas, not xith The
merry anticipation of the rest of the
world, but with dread
These people called themselves
sanctificationists, and they expected a
second flood to deluge the earth on
Christ's birthday The four boats
they called arks, and the leader of the
strange band styled himself Noah He
was a religious fanatic of a peculiar
type, and claimed to have had vision
In which he was warned of the coming
of the food. He appeared to be deep
iy in earnest and firm believer in the
truth of his peculiar representation
His real name was Joseph Lynch. He
was about fifty-fiye years old, tall
thin and gaunt, with a long struggling
beard, and is a common type of the
poor white on the eastern shore of Vir-
mia and North Caroline
Before he became the modern Noah
he was poor farmer like others of
his class OF education he had prac-
tically none, but he was shrewder than
the others, and, moreover, he pos
sessed a rude eloquence which seemed
to have given him great power oyerhis
ignorant neighbors. In some way he
gathered a peculiar medley of Biblical
information and this he cunningly
distorted to serve his ends
trihe less than a year before he
sold his farm and purchased an old
barge, which he remodeled on the
lines OF the pictures OF the original
ark. He made 1t habitable, and then
set about the work of making con-
verts Just what means he adopted IS

far been captured A few more are
expected in a short time but when
one considers the size of the army in
the Philippines, the proportion will ap
pear quite small
II see no reason for the outcry that
has been raised concerning the in
sanity OF the soldiers In the Philip
pines said DR.. Latimer, who has
been one of the hospital physicians
for more than ten years, Il have seen
a great many cases OF insanity among
soldiers during my stay here, and l
noticed no difference between the
symptoms manifested BY the troops
from the Orient and those in this
country. The wonder would be that
more do not go insane. Il is had for
the average layman to appreciate the
causes OF insanity, for the reason that
he thinks that every one mentally af-
dicted Is of necessity raving
maniac.
The young men out there so a
long way from home, where letters are
few and far between, The tropical
climate is something to which they
have not become accustomed, and they
are subject to fever and become Qhysi-
cally run down. Their rest IS broken
By noises Incident TO campaigning and
camp life Add 10 this the insects
that bother them, the tigers that
creep under the skin and cause CON
slant irritation and itching and you
have enough to worry the average
mortal into insanity. The trouble Is
due to a rundown physical condition.
They come here and are built up In
body The mind soon RECEIVERS its
balance. The trip on the transport
and the journey across the continent

not known, but he was surprisingly
successful, considering the absurdity
of his claims. Men left their wives
end children to begin life in the ark,
and wives deserted husbands and fam
lilies In short time it became neces-
sary to scure a second ark, and later
on third and then a fourth.
There is no knowing how large a
feet Noah Lynch would have gathered
about him had not the sensible people
Of the surrounding country risen in
their might and with shotguns, rifles
and pistols descended upon the four
barges The rattle of bullets against
the sides of the arks showed that the
reformers meant business. One of
the women on Lynch's boat had the
hardihood to poke her head out OF one
of the windows TO argue with the reg
ulators, but the next instant she fell
back dead, with four bullet holes n
her head The men in that country
shoot surprisingly straight, but had
they known that their target was a
woman her life would have been
spared. The attack of the regulators
was made in the night time While a
big revival was going on add as they
were shooting from some distance
they did not know until next morning
that it was a woman they had killed,
This attack had the effect of check
ing the alarming growth of the sane
tifcationists. Noah Lynch ceased
much of his activity in making new
converts ar' many of those who had
Joined the band thought better of it
and returned TO their homes The
arks, which had been anchored close
to the bank of the Chowan river, for
the convenience of communicating
with those on shore and to afford n
easy method for intending converts to
participate in the reviyals were
moved out into the broader waters Of
Currituck sound Here the sanctifica-
zionist were comparatively safe from
future deseents by the regulators.
Since then Noah Lynch and his band
had kept very quiet until recently
when they renewed their activity

Stories OF Madness in the Army

Stories OF Madness in the Army
1t may surprise some people TO learn
that ii is nothing remarkable for
soldiers to 20 sane, that they are
more inclined TO do 50 than the ordi-
nary civilian 1t will probably be
something OF a shock to learn that no
greater percentage Of the army in the
Philippines IS afflicted in this manner
than of that which invaded Cuba. And,
worse stlll. that there are not 50 many
cases due to alcoholism as usually
arise in the regular army at home.
a a matter of fact, the number OF
insane soldiers in the Philippines Is
proportOnately small. The violent
cases are reduced TO the minimum;
few of them are permanent The
causes are home-sickness, infrequent
mails strange climate, physical
weakness, due to fever and irregular
rations when in the field, and, possibly
too much quinine to ward of malaria

look them over and examine their
cases. The average stay of patient is
about three months.
1T IS possible that the excessive
use of ouinine may be a factor in the
insanity of the soldiers. They use il
in great quantities to ward off fever
One man, a sergeant, who has practl-
cally recovered, told me that he took
thirty grains three times a day. I
have heard that others have used even
more. Ninety grains of quinine a day
is too much for the nervous system Of
any man. Washington Post,

CHAPTER XIX
Taken Prisoners

Ethel watched the tall figure Of her
husband until he was out Of sight, and
then she opened the gate and passed
through into the woods She had near
~ two hours 20 linger there. She took
out her pretty jeweled watch, Sir Leon
ards last present, and looked at it; it
was FIVE minutes past nine She
could walk to st. Ina's easily in half
an hour, so that she had plenty of
time to dream by the brook that was
ripping near her.
Amid the glory Of the golden sun
shine and the CLEAN Of the deep green
foliage she sat down 20 rest and to
dream. The flowers were blooming
around her, the air was full of music
and perfume, the brook was Fastening
onward, and she lost herself In the
keen, passionate delight which natures
beauty ever gave her, She surrendered
herself 70 her dream. Had she done
right after all? Would Sir Leonard
be pleased when he saw her handsome
husband, or would he be cross? She
remembered THAI he had never looked
angrlly on her yet, and she said to her
self, with a smile, that he never would.
Thea her fancy strayed to Helen Digby
-Holen, whom she was so soon and so
surely to triumph oyer-Helen, who
was so soon to be deprived OF all her
unjustly gained advantages
Ethel was 50 noble and generous by
nature that she could not rejoice over
the downfall of her enemy. She had
married in haste purposely to crush
her but the generous heart could go no
further. When once Helen Digby was
crushed, then Ethels own hand would
raise her Only Get her give up the alb
surd idea OF marrying Sir Leonard and
reigning at Fountayne, and Ethel
would do anything for her. She was
not one of those who would puruse a
worsted foe, or triumph mallcously
over a fallen enemy. She was too true
g Gordon for that. Even now, when
the hour OF her triumph and revenge
was at hand, she half repented. Yet
she said to herself that Helen Digby
had provoked her own fate She should
not have come between her ana her
fathers love between her and her do
main OF Fountayne.
/ The beauty Of the morning deepeued,
/ The sun shone more brightly. the bees
hummed more loudly The time was
passing and stll she sat by the brook
/ lost In her dreams There had come to
her a sudden revelation of the sancuty
I of marriage how, heuceforth and for
ever She was to bee true to Laurie; to
love. honor and obey him. TO seek
/ happiness by his side, and was almost
frightened at what She had done
II wish she said TO herself that !
had thought more Of the sanctity of
marriage and less OF reyenge,"
suddenly she remembered the time,
and. looking again at her watch found
I ii halt-past ten She mus, walk to st.
luas by eleven Good-by to the leafy
shade the Ripping brook, the blooming
. flowers the sweetly singing birds.
She FASTENED through the woods The
. wind stirred the rich brown hair, and
brought n lovely color into her face
In the distance she saw the shining
waters of the restless sea. and she
said To herself the hour OF her triumph
