CHAPTER XIII.

How a Message Came to Her.
The Hon. L. Louis Godwyn, arising
early next morning because he had a
horse which needed attention, stumbl-
ed over the form of Maude, who was
lying upon his back with his black
Eyes fixed on the sky, and speedily
released him. So cramped was he that
1t was necessary to call help and carry
him into the quarters. A large bruise
upon his cheek showed where a heavy
blow had fallen and there was some
dried blood on his lips. Otherwise he
was not much harmed and found his
voice, after an application OF brandy,
in a string of curses. When conference
returned he told them of the prison
er's escape and urged immediate pur-
suit.
Why" was the chorused objection,
"the fellow is twenty miles away in
Mexico by this time, Maude, old chap.
What's the use of running after him,
old chap?"
Even the half-crazed Maude was
forced to see the justice Of this and
said no more. Taking to his bed he
refused sullenly to hold further con-
verse with any one and he did not
reappear at the r~anche-house for a
week, the ~disfiguring bruise having In
that time disappeared.

An Old Story.

The train slowed up at a little town
scarcely more than "a broad place
in the road" and a young couple got
on board. Then entered a second
class coach, filled with second-class
people, at least such they were sup
posed to be, for money makes hui

maiden's cheek, but in her eye she
wore a frightened ex~pression-a
glance you've seen in the eyes OF
a captured rabbit. She was dressed
in white with gay little colored rib
bons at her throat and neck, while
her hair vas curled and fell around
her shoulders, giving her face the
appearance of a child, while her fig
ure bespoke young w~omanhood. When
they were seated, she pressed her
face against the a window, and
looked back longingly at the little

OF the white church tower, then she
turned and looked at the man beside
her and bit her lips to hide their
culver, but the big, burly fellow
with a huge diamond in his flashy
red necktie, and with a face and neck
OF even a deeper carmine, didn't
seem to understand, excepting that he
hated fool tears" and told her so,
and in a moment she seemed a
woman, and a slightly pinched express
sion spread over her face. "Tm all
right now" she said, and vainly tried
to smile, while he taking matters in
his W hands, talked earnestly and
authoritatively, and she, like many
creatures reared as she had been,
liked this display of protective tyr
amy"
Fellow passengers nudged one an
other, and all agreed they were
bride and groom, though one old lady
remarked aloud, "Twas mighty fun
ny her ma didn't come down to see
EN- of, or give EN- a basket OF lunch,
or nuthin' "-while her companion
wondered why in the land of the
Twin she didn't do up her hair, so
long as she got married."
He didn't leave her side during the
trip to "the city"-"jest like a bride
groom" the old lady remarked
again-"never seen one who could
get further than We could throw a
yearlin' calf, but that business don't

OF electric lights, and the shrek Of
engines told of the close proximity

all the eighteen years of her life. but

kept asking her companion If the train

supposed to be.

AFT K

One who was rich picked out a spot
He built himself a costly tomb.
That all the people might know Where
He rested when his work was done.
The marble glistened In the sun;
The white shaft lowered in the air.
A toiler where the crowds were great
Had love of men big in his heart;
He sang to make the signing glad,
And preached for peace with all MS arr.
His song died on his lips one day.
They laid the ill-clad form away,
From all the costly tombs apart.
Broad paths are beaten to a spot
Watched now with loving, jealous care;
And rich and poor and great and small
Fare far to stand uncovered there.
High on the hill seen from below,
A rich tomb stands, but few men go
To see what name the shaft may bear.

The CLOSING ADDRESS

The closing address Of the morning was
full of eloquence and spiritual power and
was delivered by Rev. Cornelius Woelfkin
OF Brooklyn. N. Y.
Taking as his subject, TN the Secret OF
His Presence" tho speaker first brought
out the fact that Inspiration throbs I'm
all our nature.
Conscience says II is right; judgment
approves II as good: emotion counsels TO
do it: will says we will undertake.; but
we need the dynamic power. For this we
must enter into the secret OF His pres
ence and abide In His fellowship"
Continuing. the speaker said: There
are more things I'm heaven and earth than
are apprehcnded through the physical
senses. The astronomer sees the stars
and through them the secret OF order and
power The chemist deals with earth
alkali liquid and gas. but knows the
secret forces and energies within them.
The botanlst understands the green fra
GRANGE and color IN the floral world. but
he enters into the secret OF life, type
and development
THE Christian touches nature at all
points In common with men, but per-
vading ~ all he knows the secret OF the
presence OF God.
enter into this sacred presence. Happy
are the men, happy Thy servants that
stand continually before Thee"
Turning 20 another phase OF his SUBJ
ject the speaker said: "He Is a God that
hideth himself but some have found Him

DR.. LAWSON SPEAKS

The next address was by Rev. Albert
G. Lawson, d. D., of Newark, N. j.,
on THE Surrendered Life"
He said in part:
I'VE come into the world a bundle Of
possibilities. Our animal life will 30 up
or IL will go down. Shall see for myself
or for another; shall live for myself or
for God2 We hear men saying, How

this religion OF philanthropy we are all
well.

the story OF the descent of God through
Jesus Christ is most marvellous. Solo

under the Jordan the sky opened and

Continuing. Mr.. Lawson said. Jesus

plish this.

lensed men TO find things more widely

fish life up 10 the heights OF achievement
A corrupt tree cannot bring forth good

THE great law of achievement was

The struggle TO hold down the animal

day Is carrying the social life OF the mo-
ton 10 the verge of the precipice. The

wealth. The goal OF achievement can only
be reached by the goal Of a complete self
conquest. Each man has two worlds TO
conquer-the world without and the world
within. we'll mastered selfhood is the
crown OF achievement.
This fight for self-conquest was never
more strenuous than today for the means

lent as today"
In conclusion the speSIser dwelt on the

the spiritual life.

Continuing. the speaker dwelt on the
faith which holds an invisible worid In

by that vision.
In closing the speaker dwelt upon the
question: How 10 gain access into the
