This time. when he spake ths words
''thy father" 1t seemed unto the maid
en- that his voice dwelt upon them by
the space Of half q second. The idea
glanced through her agitated mind
like lightning, but afterward she be-
thought herself Of It: But now the
young man spakes again. and reminded
her Of his errand. Il;
my lord Jephthah hath sent thee
his blessing through me-. he said, "and
he prays thee to be of good cheer, and
to dread no danger for him."
II cannot choose but dread" the
maiden answered, as she walked be-
side him to the house, and led the way
to where her fathers armor lay.
"Nay, but surely" said the young
man, full humbly, "thou wilt be a
little comforted because of the promise

Maiden, l also would be thought of

half doubtingly; and she answered:
Il will pray for thee also. soldier.

And he said:
"My name is Adina."
Then once more he looked at her,
and again his strange look troubled
her; and as she stood and watched the
goodly figure in it's shining armor
down the streets of Mizpeh, a wonder
got hold upon her that for the first
time at the thought of battle her fears
were not wholly for her father.
Long time she knelt and prayed, her
maidens waiting without; and all her
struggle was to recover the lost feeling
that her father was her all in all, but
another image rose up, over and over
again, and would not be forgotten. At
last she gave it up, and murmured,
half aloud:
Bless him, even the young man
Adina, also, o my God: and bring them
back in safety together"
Before the close of day, the streets
of Mizpeh rang to the gladdening
sound of the victorious return of troops
from battle. Namarah. high up in her
chamber. watched them with breath
less delight, as she saw the body OF
soldiers coming down the street, and
soon she was able to make out the
majestic figure of her father, at their
head. She was full sure of that. but
still, she hent from her window eager
ly. and strained her!vision to see more.
Suddenly. her breath was drawn in
pantingly, and once more the rose was
on her cheek. Behind her father she
had recognized the tall figure of Adina,
and her eyes continually strayed from
one to the other, as the setting sun
FURNISHED the curls of his golden hair
as the young man rode his splendid

Mr.. Chamberlain dwelt especially
upon the shipping industry. He point
ed out the greater growth Of foreign

MURPHY AND TAMMANY
ANOTHER STATEMENT BY HUGH

New York. October 27.-Hugh Nc
Laughiin. OF Brooklyn today issued an
other statement attacking Charles F.
Murphy and Tammany Hall. In It, Mr..
LaughIins aid that if his advice had
been taken, the Kings county democrats
would not have entered the recent city
convention. He says he had surrender
eG his leadership TO the younger ele-
ment several years ago and that if he

cOuntenanced Murphy's attitude in
refusing to discuss his ticket with
Brooklyn democrats.
The charge that Tammany was colo-
nizing voters in this city Was made to-
day by Chairman linn Bruce. of the
nouncement later made that a reward

committee OF line citizens to be offered

NO CARDINAL IN AMERICA
STATEMENT OF 4 HIGH PRELATE
WAS 4 MISTAKE.
The Pope Will Create Several
American Cardinals, But This Ap-
plies to Id and South
Amcricans-No Red Hat for This
Country.

Rome, October 27.-Sometime after
the recent cOnclave the vatican was
surprised at a report from the United
States that a high prelate Of the
church there had spoken repeatedly of
the possibility of several Americans
being nominated cardinals. AS the
good faith of the preiare in question
could not be doubted. it was supposed
that he was labOring under a misap-
~prehension. His apparent mistakes
can easily be explained. Europeans
generally and Italians In particular,
use the term, American" as applying
to Canadians, citizens OF the United
States n South Americans equally.
According to this custom. therefore,
when the pope who does not speak
English. mentioned his intention to
create several American cardinals he
did not mean theat they should come
exclusively from the United States. In
the United States there are several
archbishOps whose high attachments
fit them to enter the sacred college.
Archbishop Ryan. of Philadelphia, is
considered first among these but the
situation is such that not only the
personality of the man to be selected
must be considered, but also the inn
pOrtance o fthe geographical situation
of the archdiocese. For instance. if
a new cardinal were to be nominated.
the relative Importance of Philadel-
phia. New York. Chicago and st. Louis
must be taken into consideration. as
owing to their positions in the
Catholic world. either one of them
would be worthy to be the see Of the
new prince Of the church.
The pope. especially in the matter Of
uomniataing cardinals may make an IN
expected decision at any moment: but
according 10 the opinion prevailing at
the vatican. it is not likely that in the
next consistory or in the next follow
ing. will a red hat be sent 70 the
United States.
