In the first days of his coming, tired
out by the unaccustomcd restraint OF

termined to risk everything and return
to his chosen work and TO his world.
But his doctors threat. that vague and

HE ALMOST RAN UPON THE OWNER OF THE
DELICIOUS VOICE.
Il silent, unsociablc fellow. but his
heart leaped unaccountably at the
careless words.
1t was the name, he assured himself,
a name full of dignity and repose, that
attracted him.
That night the name came between
him ana the letters he wrote home. 1t
danced on the pages of the compost
tons he corrected. Prudence-it was a
delicious name.
I'm be hanged if don't believe I'm
bewtched" said Keith irritably He
got up went to the mantel and took
down a picture.
You've got rival" He had formed
the lonely mans habit of sometimes
speaking 10 himself. shes not in the
least like you. Her name Is Prudence"
For the hundredth time Keith looked
into the smiling eyes and wondered
why a beautiful and cultured girl such
as the picture declared her to be should
take this holdenish way of making

days hunt IN the Maine woods to find
a girls picture lying, face up, on the

secreted it before 1t was noticed He
felt a peculiar reserve about IT, There
was something In the pretty. proud
face That belied the act, Across the
back eff the photograph the words,
when | am near again and you fail
to visit me- l will not leave you my
picture" We're written hurriedly.
Keith carried the picture home with
him, framed II prcttily and SCI 1t on
his bureau He took Il singular delight

In the time Just passed, when life
seemed all rainy days and stupid sram-
mar classes, Keith fed for refuge after
the days work TO his quiet room, and
there, looking at the picture through
clouds of smoke. he found himself
twenty again and a lover.

the interest he took in her movements.

his picture. He grew apologize and

fiawless morning. turning cor

himself against friendly rail fence.
He didn't try to understand.

ports IN the two states. The mineral
resources and output Of Utah are also
made prominent in the article, statistics

CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS.

The reception given by Mrs. Eddy
this year, to her followers, at the am.
nuol gathering at Concord, certainly
deserves q passing notice About $1,000
pilgrims paid their homage TO her. She
appeared to them on the balcony, "at-
tired In royal purple and white SILK, and
wearing a magnificent cape OF white os-
trlch feathers that fell almost TO her
knees And, adds the correspondent,
her appearance seemed 10 awe her fol-
lowers" They listened reverently while
she spoke few words Of welcome, and
then formed living lane through which
she was driven In her carriage, bowling
to them right and left much as queen
would have done in the midst Of enthu-
siastic subjects,
It is claimed that there arenow about
million Christian Scientists in the
country This may be exaggerated, but
the growth Of that body since 1900 has
been great enough to be called phenom-
email.
During the recent gathering in Bos-
ton the clerk read statistical report,
according to which the death rate Of
Christian Scientists was claimed to be
very low He said that during the
last three years there have been sent
out to branch churches to teachers and
members Of the Mother Church, over
5000 printed requests which ask the
following questions; Whenever il comes
to your notice that member of the
Mother Church has passed on, will you
kindly notify the clerk at your earliest
opportunity The result of the infor-
nation thus gathered. he said, shows
that the death rate In the Mother
Church Is 2,2i per 1000 against the
death rate Of 1913 per 1000 in the city
Of Boston for the year 1902. The NOR
tally In the membership, Of the Moth
er Church he added, is lower than that
of a year ago, as viii be seen By the
comparison, 2.24 for this year and g.
for 1902.
We quote this as an instance Of re-
markable statistical sophstry. The
death rate of any organization con-
sisting Of adult members is sure to be
low, until the members have aged and
commence to die off in great numbers.
Certain insurance societies have had
q similar experience. To begin with
there have been few deaths. but after
some years the deaths have become so
numerous that new members have not |
been obtainable. and the concerns have
ceased to exist.
The point is not whether the death |
rate among the so.called Scientists Is |
low but If the general death rate Of |
the country, or Of the cities where they |
are numerous. has decreased as result |
Of their activity What have the sta
tistics to say to that2 II seems thar
In spite of Christian Science there are
more doctors than ever, DR.. Billings,
Of Chicago, says that there are 1856
American medical colleges or schools,
against only Go in 1878, and that they
are granting 5000 diplomas year.
to more than one physician
to every 600 of our population. The
Of intoxicants seems
somehow, to grow with the growth OF
temperance societies, and the number
Of medical men seems TO increase with
The growth Of the societies that claim

Rather strange,
