she prayed daily for her happiness, with

her a greater calamity than the reGppear-

Mr.. Bettson was wrong Another week
went by, and another and another. The
crowds left Chautauqua and the Autumn
fell. The simple disappearance of Gil
bert Sears had been heralded in the news
papers by big headlines as very mys-
ferrous affair, and then, giving place to
newer excitements, the public began to
lose interest IN ii.
Absolutely no trace Of the young man
had been found after the moment he went
out into the night from the dim hotel
office. The memory of every employee of
the nearby railroads had been sharpened
by the offer of large rewards. The police
in every town within a days journey had
been notified. Handbills containing a de-
scription of the missing man and a copy
of the photograph Margaret had given
Mr.. Bettson had been distributed in three
States. Every possible Glow, every wild
guess had been followed up, and the re-
suit was-nothing. When others failed

month when the cattle are in the open,
THE month of sowing.
Next to the tablets relating to the corn
crop Of the land the most important, per
maps. are those recording the farm stock,
the fiocks, and herds. According to the
law all stock had to be presented for reg
istration every year.
In some cases the herds were brought
to the local temple to be registered, in
others the overseers visited them and
made their report. There are many hun
dreds of these returns in the collection
The larger tablets are too long for quota

the following: Seven hundred and thirty

have the entry of dead or missing. but
in every case the accounts are most ac-
curately kept.
a word must be said as to labor for
many of the tablets contain Lists of men
employed on the farms and estates. They
were supplied with food and paid a small
wage Thus we read in a very old inscrlp-
tion: These are the men to whom he
shall give fcod and silver" To some of
the workmen clothes-loin cloths-were
supplied, and the lists Of tools seems to
show that they belonged to the masters.
As to the trades mentioned in these and
other tablets we find millers. bakers,
smiths, BARRIERS. carpenters, as well as
merchants. scribes, and surveyors To
the student of land laws and agriculture
in India, Arabia, and Palestine these rec
ords are indeed priceless. 1t should be
added that the authorities have not been
content with exhibiting these treasures,

oHURcHGoING A CENTURY AGO.
Women Then, Now, the More
Faithful Attendants.
(From the CLristian Register. )

John Eliot, not the Indian apostle. but
another. was minister of tho new North
Church in Boston, in the year 1900. There
lies before us a sermon preached by him
in that year concerning the increasing
neglect of public worship. Among the eX-
cuses offered, he cites the claim OF some
that they never get any good by church
going; that they can read good books at
home, and that the preaching is not suf-
fciently liberal. He gives women the
credit OF attending church more faith
fully than the men. They" he says, in
stead of remaining at home reading good
books, are probably sleeping or walking
or riding, or in such company as makes
them merry rather than wise"
While acknowledging the respect still
paid to ministers, he asks what their SEN
sations must be II they see the Communi-
ty becoming Indifferent to religion, and
says, Should it become still more fash
iouable not TO assemble on the Lord
Day or but one part Of it, to spend the
time Of sacred rest n vain amusement,
viii not our usefulness be at an end?' a
hundred years ago, therefore, it appears
that the problem of church attendance
was not unlike that which perpleXes US

member of the company, together with
well sharpened pencil.
The players take seats far as possible
from each other, since sitting in circle
would enable one unconsciously even 20
observe the work of the others.
The cardboard square received by each
man or woman is held white side up and
on this white side Is drawn the outline
of some animal. Any quadruped in the
entire geological category Will do, the
only limitation being that it's race Is not
extinct imaginary The definite idea
of a real animal must be borne I'm mind.
A mere imaginary creature is forbidden
by the rules of the game.
No player is excused by pleading lack
OF skill from making attempt. All,
whether or not they have ever drawn
"stroke," must participate and become
artists for the momenh
When the outlines have been drawn
scissors are produced by the hostess,
and each player cuts out the drawing he
has made. These outlines are collected
by the mistress of ceremonies, who
mounts them with paste upon a white
sheet of pasteboard. The black surface
of each outline is uppermost, and stands
cut very distinctly upon its white back
ground The sheet of cardboard is at
tached by means of thumb tacks to the
wall In such a position as to be visible
to every one.
The hostess then passes slips of paper
among her guests. She asks each CON-
petitor to guess what animal was in
tended in each outline. and to write the
name opposite the number of each sill
houette.
These lists are collected and examined
by the hostess or some lady who takes
no active part In the game. Each COM
petitor is then asked 90 name the animal
he intended to represent, the lists being
corrected and points counted accordingly.
The player whose lists contained most
animals correctly named wins the prize,
one of the new and delightful collections
Of animal stories. SO many OF which have
been issued of late.
There is a second prize for the cleverest
animal drawn. This Is decided by taking
up a vote and by each player voting for
the work of any other player. II all con-
testants receive a vote each receives
trihing prize. II one artist wins from
his peers his reward might take the form
OF a classic picture of animals or a pho
tograph nicely framed illustrating some
phase of this appropriate subject.
