CHAPTER XII.

Phebe paused, overcome by sad
memories. Gladys, unnerved by all
that had passed, was crying, but not as
the wholly desolate weep; she no
longer strove to prevent her old friend
from speaking.
Your mothers sorrows had left
their mark on you, Mr.. Harvey; you
were a sad little tot, with mournful
eyes and atimorous manner. You ran
to my dear young lady, attracted by
her sweet voice, and hid your face in
her gown. and when we left they had
to drag you away; we heard your
screams as the carriage drove off, and
Miss Gladys sobbed all the way home
After that, the idea of your growing
up among strangers, with no one to
love you-just considered for the
money you brought, mayhap-was ter
rible to her. We must take you far
away to a corner in the west, where
none would know us, and you'd be saIe
from your father. begged her on my
knees not to spoil her life; but she
coaxed and argued and cried till she
got the better Of me, and We left New
York unhindered, her having no rela-
tions.
'She put on widows mourning, to
make her look older and prevent ex-
plantations, and took your grandmoth-
er's family name. Your mother had
given it you for first name; it was
easv TO change IL round.
Rockville was only a village then;
people hadn't taken to coming here
for their healths, and what are now
streets were farms. 1t was just the
place to be lost in. and until Mrs.
Leonard's doctor sent here here last
year, nobody but the family lawyer
Mrs. Leonard is his daughter-knew
what had become of the pretty Miss
Stirling. How much she has been to
you, Mr.. Harvey, you well know. She
was only eighteen when she left New
York, a light-hearted girl. Now she's
turned thirty-six. with a great sorrow
on her of your brewing. She'll get
over 1t, for she's young yet. But
you've made a strange return to her
for wasted years."
Not a word was spoken by either
Of the other three. Helen stole over
to her husband and timidly laid her
hand on his shoulder. All self-confi-
dence was gone from her bearing; she
seemed cowed and beaten; and for the
first time her loving touch was I'M
needed. Phebe looked at her frown-
ingly.
"Ay, comfort him II you can; he'll
have need Of IT," she said in a hard

Denver Times Sees Danger in Allowing
Indians Latitude.
There is curious disposition among
the people to make sport Of Gov.
Thomas crusade against the Indians
who are said to be killing game out
side their reservation and within tho
boundaries of this state. That it has
comic side is probably not to be de-
MED. But it may also have a very
serious side. The border country has
not had any Indian experiences Of
late, and the American people show
an astonishing facility in forgetting
unpleasant things. Those who know
anything about the Indian know that
the kind of movement now begun may
very easily incite him to acts which
will have very serious significance to
outlying settlers and possibly small
villages. The Indians know as well
as Gov. Thomas does that the federal
power is not behind this movement,
They rarely forego chance for i'm

sibility of remote reprisal. That the
state can prevail in the end nobody
doubts, perhaps, but aside from the
harvest of trouble and loss of life we
may have to reap, citizens are also
looking to the harvest Of debt that
must follow, though we are now at our
wits end to devise means for paying

why Reject Christianity?

But 1 do not stop now to know how
you came into rejection of Christian
ity. You frankly tell me that you do
reject it. You do not believe that
Christ is a divine being, although
you admit that he was a very good
man. You do not believe that the
Bible was inspired of God, although
you think there are some very fine
things in 1t. You believe that the
Scriptural description of Eden was
only an allegory. There are fifty things
that believe that you do not believe.

EARL RUSSELL
 GAINS A POINT His Trial on Charge of Bigamy is Postponed Until
 August 6.

London, July 1.-The petition of Earl Russell for postponement of his trial was presented at a special session of the House of Lords today. The petition for postponement was granted and the hear ing adjourned until August 6 Earl Rus sell and his counsel occupied seats in the bar of the House, while the Countess. formerly Mrs. Somerville, was seated in the box of the Black Rod, Gen. Sir Mich ael Biddleup. After the opening ceremon- les of the House of Lords Earl Russell himself approached the bar and handed the petition to a clerk, who read the doc ument.
 Counsel for Earl Russell, in supporting the application, suggested that his lord ships proceedings in Nevada had been approved by high legal authority in the United States. Evidence in regard to the decree and the domicile in Nevada had been given in America by the witnesses and was prepared with great fullness and care.
 The attorney general opposed the post ponement. He said Judge Curler of Me- vada is an essential witness and he must be back home by the end of August, therefore if the application were granted, possibly the prosecution might collapse.
 After consultation the lord premier an- nounced that an adjournment was grant, ed until August and that no further de- lay would be permitted. It Is quite possi- ble that Earl Russell will elect to stand trial on the original date, July IS, as his lawyers consider the extension of time quite insufficient to obtain the evidence 1t is desired to collect in Nevada.

 The explosion was heard some distance.

His sufferings were intense, and his courage was re- markable. He insisted that his mother should not be alarmed, and no soldier wounded in battle ever displayed more bravery. Finally he begged piteously for a physician, but through 1t all he was making a brave attempt to make very light of the accident.
 The news of the accident will be re- ceived with sorrow on the part of count less friends of Colonel and Mrs. John and of the little fellow himself.

The Patriotic Day.

The day was quietly spent as far as glorious Fourth" passed into history with toast or two at quiet dinner par ties The Daughters of the American Revolution had planned patriotic cele- bration, but this was abandoned for sev- eral reasons and only few flags fint- ter d from the balconies along the fash ionable avenues The Country Club had its Thursday evening gathering. which was delightful despite the fact that it was the Fourth of July. The dancing contingent was well represented and later in the evening the guests were entertained by Mir, King Standley the we'll known card expert, who execute ed many of his most wonderful and intricate tricks. The opera at Lakev1ew drew the usual throngs.
 The great national holiday is similar to others. bringing day of rest to many tired workers, and for this reason there should be more frequent holidays put 10 others, holidays serve only to demoralize the household; dinner is late and the servants take a day off.
 The proper observance of this great holiday depends much upon the point or view. There is so much liberty for the expression of one's patriotism. A pill grimage to the baseball park serves as an outlet for the ultra-patriotic person. and on the other hand an hour on the links is the proper way to celebrate the day. The habitues of the clubs are content to draw their chairs closer on the bal cony and listen to a patriotic air from the band down the street. The opera companies celebrate the day by an extra matinee. With a continuous performance in the parks, the street car service must be augmented and more men pressed into service. The cafes increase their force' and the cabmen have a busy day.
 The patriotism of a people found e&- pression in a thousand ways, but the great national holiday to many meant a day with increased duties, that were none the less arduous by reason that a flag was fiuttering in the next block or that the blind beggar around the corner was playing '"The Star Spangled Banner

GOSPEL Or EXPANSION.
This Was the Theme of Discourse by
 Senator McLaurin.

Columbia, S. C., July 4.-Senator John L. McLaurin delivered an address at Spartanburg today. The address was a summing up of the progress of America during the last century and an outline of her duty in the future as the speaker saw it. It was in advocacy of expansion and of the acquisition of territory when such territory would add to the markets of the country. He believed Great Britain and America would be the ruling powers of the world and would spread the gospel In all heather lands. The Spanish war had brought Americans together, and that alone had paid for all the blood and money expended.
