trustees OF the Hartford Theological
Seminary and MEMBER of the execu-
tive committee OF the Congregational
Home Missionary Society. DR.. Webb
was born in Newcastle, Me-, in 1870.
His father was a farmer, and the fu-
ture missionary labored as farm
boy and afterward as helper in
country store His tastes were intel
lectual, however, and he passed.
through Lincoln Academy and Bow
doin College, from which last named
institution he was graduated with a
degree in 1886 In 1S47 he entered
Bangor Seminary and was called to a
pastorate before his graduation. He
insisted. however, on a few months
study at Princeton, and thence went
to Augusta, Me-, to begin his ministry.
He was called by congregation in
Boston in 1860, and became pastor OF
Shawmut Church in 1868. In that

DR.. Webb's usefulness in the mission
AIRY field took on a wide expansion.
He had already visited Egypt, Pales-
tine, Syria, Asia Minor and other bib
1ical lands, and he entered into his
larger labors with spirit and devotion.
Or. Webb, in his prime, was an elo-
'quent and a powerful preacher. His
sermons were always interesting. His
flock loved him in all of his capaci-
ties. and when he resigned from his
pulpit in 1885 he was made pastor
emeritus. He was a clever and Wig
lorous writer although never contro-
versialist, and he was tolerant and
gentle in his doctrines and his life.

! CriwIs over His Feet, and Hostile
Indians Run Away
Among the earlier colonists in New
England was one, most devout man,
a preacher, whose zeal soon led him
to go as a missionary among the red
men of the forest. Although the In
dams lived all about the little settle
ments of the whites, this man decided
| to go far into the wilderness and to
live entirely among the rude people,
to whom he wished to preach the gos-
pei So he took his tent and set 1t
up at a place many miles from the
nearest white mans town. He learn
preached to the unlettered sons of the
forest. At length the Indians became
alarmed at the encroachments Of the
whites and decided to rise and mas
sacre them The lone missionary
could hardly hope to escape One
night several Indians. with their TOM
ahawks, started forth to kill him.
They crept silently up to the tent and
peeped in. There sat the good man.
pouring over his Bible by the light of
a flaming pine knot. The Indians
raised their tomahawks to strike him,
when their arms fell helpless to their
sides. A huge snake. feeling the
warmth of the fire that glowed near
the missionary. glided out Of his hole.
crawled harmlessly over the mission
ary's feet and disappeared. The. In
dams turned and fed. feeling sure that
they had witnessed a miracle. The
Great Spirit. they said. was the friend
of the good man and had preserved
his life from the fury of the poisonous
reptile. In the bloody war that fol-
lowed the uprising of the red men the
good missionary was left unframed.

story. said to be true. was told for
many years afterward by the colo

viewed for some time as Senatorial
possibility. Mr.. Dawes prominence In
national politics dates from the Pres
idential campaign of 1896, when he was
the executive head of the Mckinley
forces in Illinois. The energy and
ability displayed secured for him the
Office of Controller Of the Currency.

LenicncY TO Criminals.

The act recently passed by the Penn
sylvania legislature and approved by
the governor increasing the commuta-
ton or reduction of sentence now al
lowed to convicts for good behavior
in prison was not enacted in response
to any public demand for further len
iency to the criminal classes. Conf
dence men, defaulters and ballot-box
suffers, who richly deserve the heavy
sentences usually given them, are
likely to be the most exemplary pris-
oners. 1t may readily be believed
that such convicts will be the chief
beneficiaries Of the new law.

there are no green lions in nature. but

CHAPTER XII.

From that fatal evening a new life
began for Mr.. Cowley. He was no
longer monarch of all he surveyed. =
obscure corner of the haunted house,
lurked something unseen and unheard
by others, but full of mysterious life
and motion for him. If a mouse
squeaked behind the wainscot, it would
send him scurrying along the passage
at the rate of ten miles an hour; if a
door shut suddenly it made him trem-
BILE and turn pale; if light shone in
a window, if a board creaked unex-
pectedly beneath his feet, he was apt
to start, and exclaim, Lord, bless
me-" in tone that did Mrs. Cowleys
very heart good. In one word, the
worthy banker, from a snug, good
tempered denizen of Mecklenburgh
Square, had become transformed into
that ssrangest of animals, haunted
man! His sleep was no longer peaceful,
for he was perpetually dreading
ghostly visit; while Mrs. Cowley snored
placidly and provokingly at his side.
His coffee lost it's relish; his tea its
flavor, and his nightly glass of Holland
and water was taken more to screw his
courage up to the sticking point rather
than for an actual pleasure it gave to
him in the peculiar and unwonted state
of his mind.
He was horribly frightened He
hated that house with shivering ha-
tired; he told himself that if he saw an
other actual apparition there some
thing dreadful would happen to him;
he would have fit-an apoplectic one,
very possibly-or perhaps. a stroke of
face awry! 1t was horrible thought;
but he kept it manfully to himself. He
would have suffered those slow tor
lures of agonized fear hundred times
over rather than own to the wife of
his bosom that he had erred in select
ing such a place for his residence. He
might have said as much to some gen.
tleman friend, if one had CHANGED to
come in his way; but his Whenever,
That was concession too great by far
for the worthy Englishman to make.

do no wrong, and he was determined

gasp in his own family circlei

while. was unaware of the struggle
unconscious of his fear? Not a bit of
it! Mrs. Cowley, as she awoke each
morning from a refreshing sleep and
saw him lying pale and uneasy upon
his pillow, smiled grimly to herself
and wondered how long he would take
to come to his senses again. His
daughters. too, were rejoicing in the
pangs their own mischievous arts had
caused, even when they asked after

lifiuous tones each morning at the
breakfast table. And Mrs. Mccarthy

WASHINGTON TRAGEDY.

The mystery surrounding the killing
OF James 8. Ayres, the government
census clerk, in his room at the Ken

was cleared up last week by the con-

was the woman who was seen to leave
the room by way Of the fire escape af-

shooting occurred in struggle for pos
