EYES SAVED BY PRAYER
SOMEWHAT REMARKABLE CASE OF
REV. C. M. HERALD
Says When Noted Oculist Said He
Must Go Blind He Directed
His Thoughts to God
in Full Faith.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-With one eye en-
tirely gone, with the lens of the other
apparently hopelessly disloeated, with
the sad assurance by one of the most
famous oculists in the world that his
sight was forever gone, Rev. DR. Charles
M. Herald, pastorsof the Bethesda Con-
gregational church of Brooklyn, prayed
for help. Today he sees the dim OBJ
jects- that come before him. The inf1am-
nation has gone from his eyeball Sci
ence is amazed.
ut is the will of Almighty Cod says
the reverend doctor. II prayed for help.
God sent it to me-
Eight years ago the lens of my right
eye became partly dislocated," said DIR.
Herald. "Fhe eye was taken out exam
ined and replaced But Inflammation
set in. and it was necessary to remove
the eye six years ago.
'On Oct. q last the lens of my left eye
became partly dislocated. Dr. Alleman in
formed me that two-thirds of the lens
was in the back cavity of the eye, and
the other one-th1rd was in the anterior
cavity. He said an operation must be
performed at once.
I'm one hour my eye was operated on.
The operation was performed successful
ly. but the lens was broken, and a por-
ton of it left In the eye. DR.. Alleman
said there was very. little hope that l
would ever see again. But l believed
in prayer. / prayed to God th;( lie
continue with my work
The next day, to the great astonish-
ment of DR.. AIleman, there was no in
flammation in my eye. Nor has there
been since. can see everything dinly
now without glasses. DR.. Alleman says
by the aid of glasses / can see distinctly
again. l believe the restoration of my
eyesight is divine interposition. l be-
lieve God heard my prayers and answer
ed them.
II believe in true Christian Science
the Cnristion Science of, the Bible. In
olden times when human help failed man
went to God, but the so-called modern
Christian Science is delusion.

1t wasn't very pretentious building
just a neat white cottage that stood
on small elevation at the bend of the
road. In the rear an orchard stretched
down to the creek, the trees fragrant
with the apples waiting to be gathered.
To the south cornfeld reached as far
as the crossroads, the yellow leaves
rustling in the evening breeze, and on
the north strip of green pasture land
met a wider strip of stubble.
s..O On The front porch an old man sat, his
back against post his feet upon the
STEP pipe in his mouth.
The door behind him stood open, and
the light from within fell softly upon
the mans silver locks.
A girl came and stood in the door
way, her trim figure, like a silhouette,
against the glare of the lamp. The man
turned his head and saw her. Slowly
he took the pipe from his mouth.
''You haven't heard from town, have
you, Gene?' he asked.
mo, pa she answered softly.
I'D kinder like to know how the
election come out" he resumed, after a
pause. They ought to have the re-
turns in by this time. Don't you think
so. Gene?''
The girl did not reply, but stood
, gazing silently DOWN the ROAD lnat
stretched away through the dusk to-
wards the town.
The man struck a match and lit his
pipe. For a moment he held the blaz-
ing piece of wood in his hand, the light
Illuminating his sallow face, then, sud-
denly he threw it away.
Pa said the girl, timidly, ''Wilbur
asked me to marry him last night, and
and-Can I, pa?"
The pipe dropped from the mans
mouth and he turned and glared at his
daughter.
MOT he growled. mo, he can't marry
no daughter of mine Why, he's a Re-
publican, Genoa id rascally Republi-
can't
'Why, pa!'' cried the girl, staring al
him with wide open eyes, why par
''And more, than that" resumed the
man. angrily, hes a candidate for
township trustee-a candidate on the Re-
publican ticket.
The girl walked softly to his side, and
placed her arms around his neck.
''But / love him, pa" she said; 81
love him with all my heart, and-and-
I want to marry him, pa; want to marry
him.
She sank on the step beside him and
covered her face with her hands. He
gaZed at her in silence a few moments
and heard her sob. Then he coughed
suspiciously and rested his hand upon

There, there, Gene. he said, ten
derby, "Ill think it over, my child; I'll
think it over
Both lapsed into silence and listened
to the chirping of the crickets in the
grass and the baying of a hound down
by the creek. After while the old
man said:
II wish knew how the election came
out; l wish ] knew
The girl arose. I'll walk over to Chad
mores Pa" she said. Perhaps they
have heard something"
She went into the house and came out
presently, with showl over her head.
"Ill be right back, pa she said.
The man made no reply until she had
reached the gate. Then he shouted after
her:
IF Chadmore's hasn't heard nothin'
you might go over to fDickenson' S, Gene.
I'd kinder like to know how badly we
licked EN-
Then he reHt his pipe and sat quite
still gazing after the girl until she was
lost to view in the darkness. + or a long
time he smoked in silence, gazing at the
stars that shown above the trees across
the road. And after awhile he leaned
forward, and, resting his arms on his
knees, looked absently down at his feet.
'.Gad!' he murmured, 1.-The daughter
of old Jim Billings in love with a Re-
publican-with a Republican candidate!
Gad!''
His pipe went out, but he sat immova-
BILE, chewing the end of the stem. The
stars grew brighter in the heavens, the
air grew damp and chilly, the crickets
ceased their chirping and the stiffness
of night settled over the fields.
He rose and paced the porch impatient
~, stopping frequently to gaze anxlously
up the road. But the girl did not return.
He filed his pipe and hobbled out into
the road, watching, listening. The Damp
ness made his bones ache and he pulled
vigorously at his pipe as though to gath
er warmth therefrom.
I'D kinder like to know how the eIec,
ton went" he murmured. "ld like to
know
Then he retraced his steps and sat
down again on the porch.
''She loves a Republican, he said to
himself. 'Old Jim Billings daughter
loves rascally Republican,"
He paused to listen. The sound OF
voices came to him through the dark
ness. The voices were low and pleasant,
but, although he strained his ears. he
could not understand a word Presently
they ceased altogether, and a moment
later he saw Gene coming through the
darkness alone.
She turned in at the gate and came

and Tripp was placed under arres.. The
package contained harnesses which Trip
is believed TO have stolen in the neigh
borheod of Delano.
When Trip was locked up he gave the
name of George Emerson. He denied that
he was Trip, but by some of the older
detectives he was recognized as the man
who had been arrested in Minneapolis
twice before. Detective Howard, togeth-
er with Doyle and Hankinson, arrested
him ten years ago, and he says the man
taken in yesterday is Trip.
Although Trip is held for Sheriff
Nuggent, it is possible that fight will
be made for the man. Chief of Police
Patrick Carroll, of Hudson, arrived in
Minneapolis yesterday. and says he
wants him.
Trip is sixty-eight years old. and has
spent thirty-five years behind the bars
He has served two terms in the peni-

ALL DOUBT REMOVED
THE MAN ARRESTED IN CHICAGO
is LOUIS w. STAB
RECOGNIZED BY ALEXANDER
stabIein Talked Freely About His
Escape - He May BE Re-
turned TO This
4 City.

Capt ]. A. Alexander, jailer at the
county prison, returned last evening
from trip to Chicago, where he went
to satisfy himself that the man held in
the county jail there on charge of for
gerry is Louis w. Steblein. who made
such a sensational escape from the Hen
nepin county Jail year ago last October
Capt Alexander declares that he rec
ognized the Chicago prisoner at Stablein
the moment his. eyes fell upon him, and
that the latter greeted him as he would
an old friend.
The two talked of old times, and Stab
lein told his former jailer many interest
ing facts relative to his escape from the
authorities here.
Stablein affirms that he left Minneapo-
lis the night of his escape, ard this puts
to rout the theory of many who have
professed to have evidence that he had
hung about the town two or three weeks
before making tracks,
Stablein was arrested in Chicago a
short time ago for the forgery Of express
money orders. He is badly wanted by
the Minnesota authorities, but will
doubtless be first tried at Chicago.
