Of Interest.

The Hon. HI. G.. Thayer of Ply
mouth, Ind, delivered a most able
and entertaining lecture on st.
Paul's Journey to Rome" at FRS M.
E. church last night and he was
heard by a large and appreciative
audience. Mr.. Thayer has trav eled
extensively and has made the study
of the life of the Apostle Paul one Of
his foremost objects, so that he
thoroughly understands his subject.
He has gone over the same routes
travelled by the great apostle and it
is safe to say that no one has a bet
ter knowledge of the history of the
man of his subject than he, and this
fact, together with his pleasing man
ner of telling what he knows, makes
his talk highly interesting. Mr..
Thayer spoke nine times yesterday
at the various churches, and ad-
dressed the students at Earlham col
lege this morning.
The Rev. NJ. 3. C. Mason, the well
known colored orator and preacher,
spoke yesterday at Third M. E.

CHAPTER IX.
KIRK PREVENTS A LYSCHING.

KIRK PREVENTS A LYNCHIN0.
As Malcom Kirk and Carver ran on
directly in the face of that wild line OF
fire and smoke there was only one SUI
preme thought in the mind of Malcolm
He saw the boys mother, and while he
ran he heard her voice as she had ap,
pealed to him in his study.
lnstinctvely the two men bore of
from the road over which the horses
had entered the town toward n swale
where the grass and rosin weeds grew
deep, and 1t was but few feet from
the beaten track of the prairie road
that they saw the body of Philip Bar.
ton, lying face downward, the hands
clinched and holding tightly broken
piece of the lines of the harness.
No time then to stop and ask wheth-
er he We're living, but up with him be-
tween them and back to the town with
all the power Of their pulsing man
hood.
Carver was entirely sober now. He
was naturally a man Of great muscular
endurance. Malcom had kept up his
physical training In his work with the
young men in the church.
Not word was said. They realized
that the time was short, and they ran
with their unconscious, heavy burden
between them.
Meanwhile men, women and children
had organized In desperate effort to
save the town. There was one fact in
their favor. 1t had been the custom
for those living on the edge Of the town
to picket their animals out on the prai-
rie near by. The grass was cropped
short on this account Under any or
dinary circumstances this fact would
have Insured safety from any usual
fire. But the whole prairie was afiame,
everything was as dry as two months
OF drought and hot winds could make
It, and water for a long time had been
very scarce in wells and cisterns. Back
Of all that advancing line Of fire was n
prairie gale that shot the flames
straight forward. and old settlers, some
Of whom had seen the great fires In Da-
kota In the early sixties, looked at the
sight now before them with grave
faces.
Dorothy came to the door of the par
sonage, stood there n moment and then
ran. with other women, her neighbors,
down to the main street.
Bucket lines were being formed from
an the wells and cisterns that were
available. .e instantly Joined with
the others in handing the water. A
large company Of men armed with wet
cloths to whip out the fire began to
form as far from the houses as they
dared. 1t was too late now to plow
fire breaks and too windy to make a
back fire. The only hope that any one
had was that the shortness Of the grass
near the town would check the fury of
the advancing whlrlwlnd Of flame.
"Have you seen Mr.. Kirk?" Dorothy
asked as she first Joined the others.
