is one stained with blood. We see
the noble and the brave in Europe,
in the Middle Ages, sacrificing their
lives in the effort to win for Chris
tendon the site of the Lords tomb.
AS We trace it's story down to our
day, there is little variation in the
long, bitter struggle which has I'M
ceasingly hung over it. To-day 1t is
desecrated by the quarrels of the ORR
entail Christians who possess it in
common, and who are so bitterly jeal-
GUS of one another. 4
The church stands on the SIC of
the beautiful basilica built by Con-
stantine and Helena, who erected so
many churches in Palestine in 1856
A. d. 1t was destroyed when Chos-
roes II, king of Persia, laid Jerusalem
waste. Church after church has been
built over the spot, and again de-
stroyed. When the crusaders took
possession of Jerusalem, they in
creased the dimensions of the church
then standing. and united all the
chapels into one church. In 1908
A. d. fire destroyed great part OF
it, and the building which the pill
grims now visit is a modern one,
built up on the old remains, and is an
interesting mixture of architecture.
The beautiful facade now standing is
from crusader days. OF the large
double doorway, which forms the sole
entrance into the church, only one
half is used, the other is walled up.
The columns adjoining the portals
are of marble, decorated with Byzan-
tine capitals. Above the openings are
the sculptured mouldings depicting
scenes in Christ's life-His triumphal
entry into Jerusalem, the last supper
and the raising of Lazarus.
The whole building is $50 feet long
on the east and $50 on the south.
Within it's precincts are located sew
enty sacred sites. The grand rotunda
of the church is sixty-seven feet in
diameter. Eighteen piers support the
galleries above it, which serve as ac-
commodation for the crowds of spec
tators who rent seats on festive &C.

'The DOCTOR" she cried out, joyfully,
and running out OF the yard she
called, 20, hurry, doctor; the baby
breathes so strangely"
A blond, boyish-looking man alight-
ed before the house, and tied his
restless horse to one of the fence
palings. His face was humorous in
its expression; his eyes were mild
blue, his nose long and thin, and his
sandy hair inclined to waviness. He
was smooth-shaven, and carried an
eyeglass tied to black silk cord.
He was attired in a ravy blue riding
suit; soft hat, pulled down low
over his forehead, Swallowed an in
telligent countenance.
He took from the saddle small
emergency case, and followed the
anxious mother into the inner room,
where the baby was tossing feverishly
upon the bed.
Did Mr. Hardy tell you what was
the matter?" asked Dorothy.
NO" answered the man; then in
one glance he saw that the dreaded
Group was making fast Roadway.
Bring me some hot water and sugar,
quick" he cried, drawing a bottle
from his case. The mother swiftly
and quietly did his bidding. Hour
after hour he worked faithfully over
the child; the perspiration began to
come, the breathing grew more regu-
lar, the blue eyes opened, and with a
contented smile, and her fingers
clasped tightly about the strangers
hand, little Amy fell into calm sleep.
How can l ever repay you, doc
tor?" began the girl.
Far away upon the road the man
heard the thud of hurrying horses

a quizical manner. do you know

and kissed the golden head.
But the girl confronted him with
flashing eyes as he was about to step
forth into the clutches Of the men,
who were rapidly drawing near. "Sit
down by the bed" she commanded;
then she quickly darkened the win

throne of grace. The little six-year-old

little brother sent to her. When her
prayer was answered she was delight.

thereby. But when one day, less than
two years later, the gift was repeated,
she looked gravely apprehensive.
II don't want two brothers." she ex-
planned, "and am sure prayed too
much. hope God won't answer every
prayer made for little brother by
sending one for EACH"
But the best evidence of the re-
sponsibility she felt in the matter was
disclosed on a subsequent occasion,
when she heard her father and mother
ciscoursing to dinner table full Of
guests upon the merits and attractions
OF these two little sons.

Adam was buried, and that when the
cross of Christ was erected, some
blood trickled onto the bones of the
first man, and he revived, and this
suggested the name, place of Skull

this is why skull is often placed at
the foot of crucifix.
Looking through a barred window

crucifxion, and here lamp hangs
over the spot where Mary and St.
John are said to have stood while the
greatest tragedy of this world was
being enacted by cruel and wicked
hands. This spot is named Notre
Dame des Douleurs. An ascent of
eighteen dark steps leads up to this
Mount Cavalry, which is divided into
two parts, one belonging to the Lat.

platform fifty feet square. and has

of the Mailing of the Cross, and still
further is another named the Chapel
of the Agony. where painting is ex.
hibited of the Savior on His mothers
knee. To the Latins alone belongs
the Chapel of the Apparition, where
Christ appeared to Mary after the
resurrection. Here the Column of the
Scourging is to be seen through a
hole, into which pilgrims thrust a
stick, which touches it, and is then
kissed by them. The tombs of Nico.
demus and Arimathea are shown in
the Syrian portion of the church.
The chapel of greatest interest is
that in the center of the church, I'M

The Indian Widow.

With fear-sped feet I've come alone,
AS twilight follows day.
Against this mound to lay
My face, tear-wet, and sob and moan;
Negon, Negon. my brave
The larch trees shivered DER my head,
Their shadows made me quail
The fitful moon shone pale
To light the way my dark path led;
Negon, Negon, my brave!
My wigwam lone I fain would leave
To follow thee, my love:
AS mourns the mateess dove
In dark woods solitude l grieve;
Negon, Negon, my brave!
The prowling wolves unslenced howl,
The antlered moose and deer
No more thy arrows fear,
In rice-sown lakes swarm water fowl:
Negon, Negon. my brave!
With thee in happy hunting ground,
Victorious in the chase,
lone would seek her place,
Thy game to bear. thy praise to sound,
Negon. Negon. my brave!

Uncertainty over the position of the steel
