James obeyed without word, and by
the time the sun was fairly out Of sight
the Union soldier, refreshed and made
comfortable, lay asleep in the best
chamber of the pleasant old southern
mansion.
Meanwhile, on the long veranda, Irene
kept watch, her slight, willowy figure
wrapped in n scarlet mantle, her fiossy,
raven tresses floating on the winds.
BY and by, as the midnight stars
came out and glittered overhead, above
the dreamy flow Of the river, above the
murmur and rustic of the forest leaves,
arose the clash and clang, the roar and
tramp of advancing troops
Irene's dark face flushed and her
lustrous eyes dilated. She crossed the
veranda with a swift step and tapped
lightly at the door of her guests cham
ber.
"rhey are coming" she whispered.
"They will take you prisoner if you re-

The soldier started to his feet and
made his way out but he reeled against

beaming eyes.
safely through, madam, with the
enemy at my very heels" replied the
captain.
Miss Moreton," cried madam, "will
you have the Kindness to pass the
claret cup? And, pray, Captain Ruth
erford, whatever became of Dapple?"
The captain raised himself to sit
ting posture.
"Dapple, Dapple," he called. "Come
here!"
From the forest shadows near at
hand a small gray mountain pony came
ambling forth. Madam Lenoir's COM
panion, advancing with the claret cup
in her slim white hand, uttered a sharp
little cry and wasted all the luscious
liquor on the rustlng leaves at her feet.
"Oh. Dapple, Dapple!" she cried.
Dapple heard the sweet voice and
knew it in an instant. He broke into
joyous neigh and shot like an arrow
for the young lady's side. She caught
his shaggy head and held 1t close to
her bosom, sobbing like the silly child
she was.
"Oh, Dapple, my pretty Dapple, have
found you at last?"
Madam Lenoir, comprehending the
denouement, looked on with glistening
eyes.
Two weeks later the pleasant party
was breaking up. Madam and her party
were going back to France.
"And now, Irene," said the captain,
"how is it to be? You will not listen to
my suit or accept my love? Then you
will be forced to part from Dapple
again. She is mine by the right Of pos
session. I cannot give her up. Come,
now, give your final decision-are you
willing to part from me and Dapple
forever?"
Irene looked up with her old glorify-
ing smile.
II could bear to part from you,' she
said wickedly, but never again from
Dappe. If you take Dapple, you will
have to take her mistress, too, Captain
Rutherford"
And the captain made no objection.

The scene was a green
stretch of summer lawn in
front of fine old Virginia

drum or the shrill bray of a bugle.
Old Virginia, the queen mother of the
sunny South, was overrun with SOL
diers. devastated by fire and sword,
shaken to her very foundations by the
t!lunders of the Civil war.
Colonel Moreton was far away from
his pleasant home in the front ranks
Of death and danger; but Irene, his
only child, still braved the terrors of
invasion and remained at the farm
house with her invalid mother and a
few faithful old servants.
Cantering across the grounds an
hour after the retreat of the invading
troops, something attracted the young
1ldy's notice--a PROSTATE figure under
the shade of great cottonwood tree.
"Stop, Darrle We must look to
this"
Dapple stopped, and Miss Irene
1eaped lightly from her saddle, and.
throwing the silken reins over the
rony's neck, she went tripping across
the grounds to the spot where the
figure lay.
1t was n tall, soldierly figure, clad
In army blue. with a pale, worn face

II. Bicksford, as the speaker of the
evening saying that he had raised be-
tween $500 and 5000 for this fund in
the past year, more than had been pre-
viously secured from his church in
| Wilkes Barre by 5000. DR.. Bicksford
gave Il strong address in favor of the
| society. He is n man of great ability
and possesses gifts of eloquence and
! oratory.
A Call to Preach.
| DR.. Bicksford emphasized the fact
that Methodists believe in a call to
preach. The minister goes not merely
| to preach the word but on the streets
| in the shops, in the home, to speak to
aged and the young to bring the ala
baster box of comfort to the sick room
to be at the bedside of the dying. More
than all that, he is to be the wise and
patient and constant adviser of the
seeker, when his time comes to look
toward the lamb of God.
When you look for some one to lead
a movement whom do you select? The
politician cannot do it, for he wants
to be elected to office. Nine times out
of ten it is the Methodist minister who
does it, The biggest thing a Methodist
minister can do is to preach. He can
run shows and have magic lanterns
and all other tomfoolery, but the best
thing he can do is to preach.
1t is an easy thing to stand where no
body dare hit back and give 1t to
them. a coward can do that. A mean
snvelling little cur can do that. 1t Will
| take a preacher all the day to preach.
| When God doesn't get a mans money
he doesn't get the man and when he
doesn't get the man the other fellow
gets him.
How is he paid? He takes what Is
| left when all other claims are paid,
sometimes it is skipped. What about
the mechanic, the day laborer, the
maid of -all-work. How long would
you keep your maid if you didn't pay
her. What howl there would be if a
great factory skipped a pay day? Yet
| the man who makes the order of a
community possible-what about him?
You'll not run your town, you'll not
have real estate at its value il you take
| the churches out.
Salaries Compared.
"The pay of fire boss in valley
mine is about one-third more than the
average minister. Hasn't 1t cost the
| minister as much to learn his business
| as it has the fire boss? And yet there
are deficiencies in the minister's salary.
He is the lowest paid, too. He cannot
engage in any other business, He must

THE ANTHRACITE STRIKE.
President Mitchell Says Ee Can Not
Predict When the Strike
Will End.
AHEHT THE HARRISBURG CONFERENCE.
No Proposition Was Submitted
Looking 10 the Return of the Men
to Work Pending a Final Settle
ment of Existing Trouble With
the Operators.

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 16.-1 can't
predict when the anthracite strike
will be settled. If anything is being
done by the other side, don't know
of it,"
John Mitchell, president of the Unit
ed Mine Workers, who is at strike
headquarters in Wilkesbarre, Pa,
made this statement in a long-dis-
lance telephone interview with the
News:
Nothing toward a settlement was
accomplished at the Harrisburg con-
ference between Gov. Stone, air.
Mitchell, the presidents of the three
anthracite districts and others who
have been trying to end the strike.
Did Gov. Stone represent j. Pier
pont Morgan or any OF the anthracite
presidents?"

representing anyone besides himself"
rs settlement any nearer because
of the conference"
"No."
"Did Gov. Stone propose that the
miners would return to work on a
promise of concessions being made
afterward by the operators?"
mo proposition of that kind was
submitted. There is no founde ton
for the report that the men are to re-
turn to work on promise that the
operators will make concessions and
arbitrate afterward."
"Would the miners return to work
under such an arrangement
"They would not"
"Are you as confident as ever OF
winning?"
81 am certainly very hopeful now
that the strike will be ended in our
favor"
The big defense fund that is being
collected at the national lNeadquar-
tiers in indianapolis, Mitchell said, is
proving sufficient to relieve the DIS
tress in the region. About 25,0oO
miners have left the region since the
strike began, leaving about 10000, ne
explained, to be cared for.
"Are the troops to be withdrawn
from the region?'
mot that / know of"
"Is any coal being taken out OF the
regions?"
"a little is going out. But no new
coal is being mined" Most of the
coal now being shipped was mined
before the strike began. No mines
are being started, and no members OF
the organization are returning to
work."

AN AWKWARD SITUATION.
When He Returns the Italian
Kings Visit.

Rome, Sept. 16.-The announcement
that the car, when he returns the
visit of King Victor Emmanuel, will
rot call on the pope, has seriously dis
6urbed the vatican. 1t is said that the
Russian minister to the holy see will
purposely be absent from Rome dur
ing the sojourn of the car here, so
as to render it easier to ignore the
vatican.
Papal diplomacy is doing its ut
most to prevent such an awkward in
cident. which is attributed to the de-
sire of the car to show his displeas-
ure at the pope's action in withdraw
ing the papal nuncio from The
Hague because he was not invited to
take part in the peace congress.
