Now and then you come suddenly
upon some caravan of camels clothed
with all the mysteries of the desert
moving in long swaying line, with an
escort of Arabs armed with strange
rifles. They are laden with dates from

ers in chains. 1t may be that they
have toiled slowly from the desert of
Sahara with slaves, or across the
mountains that help the warlike Sus

The r ectOr of
. {. n rtins'
BY EDWARD B. CLARK.

OF. MARTINS was mission
church. 1t was in a section of
the city where the poor gasped for
breath above the baked pavements
in summer and barely escaped freez-
ing to death in winter when the coal
barons pushed up the price of heat.
John Knight was the rector of st.
Martins. The little mission had
been established by contributions
from members of the fashionable
Church of ST. Jude. St. Jude's was
rather "Iow'' in point of ritual, and
was more than extremely exclusive
in point of congregation. what
need is there to rub elbows with peo-
pie who live in flats ana boarding
houses when we can provide for
their needs in a thoroughly Chris
tian way by the establishment of a
church where they win feel more at
home?' asked the vestry and the
wardens of St. Jude.
Thus it was that St. Martins was
founded, but because of its location
the 'fatters" and the "boarders'' re-
fused to attend services there, and
so it happened that the rich and
the poor had the Gospel preached to
them while the ''middIers'' went
without the Bread of Life
Rev. John Knight was 81 years old.
The Columbus commercial., 1902-10-21

Then there was George Banks He
was of a family as old as that OF
John Knight. He was big, good
looking and worth s.. .ooo, 600. knight
had the size and the good looks, but
the balance went down in Banks
favor with the weight of the mil
lions. Banks was in love with Kath-
crime Forbes. Everybody in St.
Jude's knew it and talked about il
and said the marriage would be a
fine thing, and that Rev. John Knight
ought to read the marriage service
because even though ''he is so awful
high Re does read beautifully
One day Katherine Forbes heard
that John Knight, rector, had jumped
into the river and saved little girl
from drowning. She heard also from
time to time of his constat visits to
the sick and the poor and of the
work of uplifting he was doing. This
made her think She went to the
rector of the mission and said: "Mr.
knight, I want to pitch in with the
rest of the girls and work"
John Knights face glowed.
81 am going to attend your serv-
ices, too, though you are so dread
fully high as the woman's auxiliary
of St. Jude's says. ] can stand the
vestments and the candles and the
altar cloths easily, but" and Kath-
crime Forbes smiled, 'I'1l have to
draw the line at confession. / don't
believe I could confess to you, Mr..
Knight" and the girl laughed again.
I'm afraid you would give heavy
penance for a peccadillo. No, III
never make a confession to you"
81 don't think you'll ever find any
confessional boxes in st. Martin s,
Miss Forbes" said the rector.
Well time went on and John
Knight fell more and more in love
with this matchIess woman, who
went about among his poor and lost
her haughtiness in her very pity for
their condition. One night he told
her, and then came the struggle of
the girls life. She knew that she
was dangerously near to the point
of loving this man, but then there
was poverty ahead and the trials and
the Observation-Disclosures of the life
of clergyman's wife. And the- she
thought of George Banks, big and
handsome and with his S2,0o0,c0o.
But the thought brought no such
warmth to her heart as did the pres
ence of this man who was giving his
life to ''the least of these"
Katherine Forbes evaded an answer.
Don't ask me now," she said, but /
fear it will never be. don't know my
own heart. Believe me, [ am sorry"
John Knight knew of the attentions
of George Banks to katherine Forbes,
and now he felt intuitively that this
woman's heart did not yet know its
own choice.
Three nights later Katherine Forbes
went to a reception. She had thought
to meet the rector there, and admitted

SAVED ALITTLE GIRL FROM DROWNING.

He was a big fellow, an athlete and
n graduate of Harvard, where the
unitarian atmosphere failed to affect
his stalwart churchmanship. St.
Martins was his first charge. Ovy-
ing to the dependence of the little
parish upon the Church of st Jude
the rector of the mission was thrown
more or less in contact with the con-
gregation of the greater parish.
John Knight was rather s'churchly."
His altar was a thing of beauty.
There were always flowers on it in
two great br2s-n vases. ianked by
Two great candlesticks with a cross
midway.
When the parishioners of ST. Jude
heard of the candles they declared
that Rev. John Knight was drifting
rapidly to Rome, but John Knight
was doing nothing of the kind He
knew his parishioners and he knew
that an appeal TO the eye would
make easier the appeal to the heart.
Now John Knight was sincere. In
the absence of the rector of st. Jude
the priest of the little mission filled
the pulpit. The st. jude people had
kicked at his candles, but they didn't
kick at his sermons. Young women
who never before had thought of
doing a stroke of missionary work
volunteered for work in the slums
about st. Martins. With this aid
John knight labored to extend his
district and to carry the Gospel of
the Christ that it might sweeten the
homes of the many.

parish who held aloof from the work
at the mission of St. Martins. She
was the one woman whom above all
others John Knight would have liked
to see at work among the lowly.
He had met Katherine Forbes when
she had visited her brother at Har-
ward Katherine Forbes was peer
less Everybody said SO, and it must
be true. John Knight believed it.
katherine Forbes was bit disdain-
full. but there was something in her
face which showed that the disdain
was largely affected.
1t is better told quickly. John
Knight was in love with Katherine
Forbes. He was no recluse. He
went into society to the extent that
& clergyman may when his parish
duties do not demand him. He saw
Katherine Forbes fiattered and
courted. He knew her we'll and
knew that he was not without favor
in her eyes. But what woman
brought up in luxury and with abb
solutely burning social ambitions
would ever marry the rector of
missionary church with a pittance
of $1,000 a year in his own right
with an added $500 from his parish
toners aided by the missionary
board2

HUNTING CARRIER PIGEONS.
How the Birds Are Obtained for
Mail Service between Auckland
and Great Rarriers Island.

S. Holden Howie, of Auckland, New
Zealand, is in Butte hunting pigeons
1t seems odd that Mr.. Howie
should come so far from home to
hunt pigeons, but when he tells yoU
that he is in the. service of the Great
Barriers Pigeongram company, OF
that enteEprising little common
wealth and that his company has the
fastest mail routes in the world, he
makes you interested, says the Butte
(AIont.) Inter Mountain.
Seventy miles northeast of Aucl.
land lies Great Barriers island" said
Mr.. Howie. 'It has a population OF
500 or eco people, who are engaged in
gold mining, gum digging and lum-
bering. The only communication
these people have with the mainland
is the pigeon service, which we fur,
nish them.
"They are kept in the post Office
on the island, and are brought over
from Auckland by steamer once
week. The messages are written on
fine japanese paper, and are at
tached to the birds legs by stamp
which the settler purchases for
shilling.
"Five hundred messages are sent
out every week, and several times
calls for help from the island have
been promptly answered, which
could be made in no other way.
s'These carriers of the pigeon
gram service make about a mile
minute with their letters. 1 don't
think YOU can beat that in this cOGn-
