CHAPTER XI.
THE TWO CALLS.

VAYIITH the call to Mr.. Craig 1
~" fancy / had something to do
E"d myself. The call came from
GszEG0 a young congregation in an
eastern city and was based partly upon
his college record and more upon the
advice of those among the authorities
who knew his work in the mountains.
But l fiatter myself that my letters to
friends who were Of Importance in that
congregation were not without inf1u-
ence, for l was of the mind that the
man who could handle Black Rock
miners as he could was ready for some
thing larger than mountain mission.
That he would refuse l had not i'm
agined, though l ought to have known
him better. He was but little troubled
over it. He went with the call and the
letters urging his acceptance to Mrs.
Mavor. | was putting the last touches
to some of my work in the room at the
back of Mrs. MAYORS house when he
came in. She read the letters and the
call quietly and waited for him to
speak.
She started and grew a little pale.
His question suggested possibility
that had not occurred to her. That he
could leave his work in Black Rock she
had hitherto never imagined, but there
was other work, and he was fit for
good work anywhere. Why should he
not go? l saw the fear in her face, but
l saw more than fear in her eyes as
for a moment or two she let them rest
upon Craig's face. l read her story,
and was not sorry for either of them.
But she was too much a woman to
show her heart easily to the man she
loved, and her voice was even and
calm as she answered his question.

Craig was studying her curiously.
think she noticed his eyes upon her, for
she went on even more quietly:
st will be a great chance for work,
and you are able for larger sphere,
you know, than poor Black Rock af-
fords."

Bnllooning in Olden Days.

A distressing accident which resulted
from the ballooning craze in France
and England in 1885 caused wide
sensation, and in one of his letters to
Sir Horace Mann Horace Walpole re-
fers to it in the following pithy man.
ner: 'The balloonomania is, think, a
little chilled, not extinguished, by the
catastrophe. That it should still blaze
in my nephew" George, earl Of Or
ford) sis not surprising; not that he
has mounted himself-he did not
threaten it; but real madmen are not
heroes, though heroes are real mad
men. He did encourage another man,
who, seeing storm coming on, would
have desisted, but my lord cried, oh,
you had better ascend before the storm
arrives and instantly cut the strings:
and away went the airgonaut, and did
not break his neck"

Batteries Under Water.

A remarkable instance of a battery
of accumulators working under water
was recently given in Munich. The
station is situated on an island in the
Isar, and during the flood the water
covered the batteries. According to
the Scientific American, one Of the
batteries which ran the car lines was
completely cut out, and it was thought
that the other, which furnished light,
would have to be treated in the same
way. The fly-wheels Of the engines
were half in the water. Nevertheless,
as it was almost Indispensable to light
at least the principal streets of the
city, it was decided to try to operate
the submerged battery. The attempt
was successful, and the battery, which
had been constructed to give 5000 am
pere-hours with a G0O-ampere dis
charge, was able to furnish 1000 am
pere-hours during the night. The re-
maiuder was lost in discharges in the
water.
