Prof. Marchand, Of Paris, relates In
an amusing little sketch the cxperis.
encc Of an ovcrindcpcnp,nt Americas
girl Of his acquaintance. She was .
student In Paris, anxious TO see all

to take care of herself, relates Youths
Companion.
One day she decided to visit Fon-

She engaged u shabby old carriage,
the coachmsa of which seemed TO her
rather more intelligent than the av-
crngc, who promised to take her to
the mort beautiful spots. She settled
herself for enjoyment, and they rolled
away.
After driving for some time In the
broad avenues, she perceived that
they had turned into narrow, little
used and secluded byways, which ap-
peared to lead to the depths OF the
forest. She inquired where the man
was taking her. but he clicked TO tho

70 their knees and rave her worship,
out Of sheer fascination for her
beauty and charm.
Ylgn, the fan-girl. alone Of al that
vast multitude round the sun tenn
pie, contained herself within her
formal PAGES and duties. She looked
panied and troubled. IL was plain
to see, even from the distance where
I stood, that she carried a heavy
heart under the jewels OF her robe,
II was fitting. too, that this should
be so. Though she had been long
enough divorced from his care and
fostered by the empress, Ylga was q
daughter of Zaemon, and he was the
chiefest of our Lord the Suns min

forget her upbringing now mt this
supreme moment when the highest

kindness for Phorenice) she wns not
little dreadful Of the consequences.
But the empress had no eye for one
sad look among all the sea OF glowing
faces. Boldly and proudly she strobe
out into the circle, as though she
had been the duly appointed priest
for the sacrifice. And after her came
n knot of men, dressed rs priests. and
bearing the victim. Some OF these
were creatures of her own, and II
was easy to forgive mere ignorant
laymen, won over by the glamour OF
Phorcnice's presence. But some, to
| their shame, were men born In the
Priests clan, and brought up in the
groves and colleges of the Sacred
Mountain, and for their apostasy
there could be no pnllintioS.
The wood had already been
stacked on the altar-stone In the due
form required by the ancient symbol
ism, and the empress stood aside
while those who followed did what
was nccdful. AS they opened out. l
saw that the victim was one OF the
small. cloven-hoofc horses that roam
the plnins--a most acceptable sac
rificc. They bound it's feet with

She spoke not in the priests sacred

cleverness that she may very well
have learned it-but In the common
speech Of the people, so that all who
heard might understand. and she told
Of her wondrous birth (as she chose
to name it), and OF the direct aid OF
the most high gods, which had en-
abled her to work so many marvels,
And in the end she lifted both OF
her fair white arms towards the
blackness above, and with her lovely
face set with the strain OF will, ut.
tered her final cry:

you now to acknowledge me ms your

sign that am indeed n child OF the
gods, and no frail mortal. Here Is

with their puny fires had weekly,

pray you send down the heavenly FIRE

token that though you still rule on
high. you have given me Atlantis ia

HARPER ON THE CHURCH
Makes Radical Address to Young

School Glass.
Ns4o YorEc yu,s Special se,.pioe

New York, Oct. 28.--John D. Rookie
feller, Jr., was not able to lead the meet
ing Of his young mons Bible class, as
advertised on the announcement cards.
J. M. Troxelle, one Of the members, took
his place. In introducing President Will
liam r. Harper Of Chicago university, Mr.,
Troxele said:
"All machinery, Of course. needs oil,
and when the Chicago university needs oil
1t pumps it through a pipe line from
Fifty-fourth street."
President Harper talked about the
church and civic life. He said In part:
LAS 1t Is now, the church has alienated
the laboring classes, large part of the
wealthy class and to some extent it is
alternating the intellectual class.
THE time has gone when the church
may control directly the affairs of state
and Of commercial and Industrial institu-
tions; but 1t must control them Indirectly
by controlling the individuals who are
responsible for them. The preacher must
have the workingman's point Of view and
the millionaire's too, so that he may help
both and promote harmony between them.
THE church must cultivate the spirit
Of democracy. There is too great a sur
vival OF the arlstocratic ideas Of the past.
Very few preachers grow to the point of
being able to work among the rich. But
less can bring themselves to work among
the lower classes.
After further criticism Of the churches,
President Harper said that there were a
few exceptional churches which were do
ing a great work, and that Mr.. Rookie
feller's church was one of them.

amount approximating 81, 900. They ex-
changed a fusillade of shots with local
officers and escaped. .....
Night Watchman Erskine discovered
four men approaching the bank at !
o'clock. One of the men cornered him
and kept him. covered with a rifle for
three hours while another broke open
the bank door and worked on the safe.
The other two men patrolled the street
and by a system Of signals were able to
hold at bay a dentist physician and two
or three other citizens who were at
tracted to the scene.
Five dynamite shots were fired by the
man in the: bank before he succeeded in
getting at the cash box. The sum Sc
cured was mostly silver although 1t in
cluded a quantity of currency.
At4 o'clock the four men left the bank
and disappeared in an easterly direction,

who had seen them and shooting through
