CHATTER. IN.

Alter wretched night spent i'm toss.
ing about his bed, in dreaming of the
murdered man. and in lying awake
wondering how he should break the
news to Ida. Lord Penlyn rose with
the determination of going down Ia
Belmont. But when the valet brought
him his bath he told him that Mr.
Smerdon had arrived from Occleve
Chase at six O'Clock, and would meet
him at breakfast SO, when he heard
this. he dressed quickly and went ia
his friend.
Good Heavens" Philip said. wrer
he naw him. t'IIow i'll you look. Wha,
Is the matter!''
Natter. the other answered, .j,

look illI | have told you that Cundal
Is dead. and you know how he died
Yes. l know. But surely you mus.
be aware OF what il has freed yo,
from"
1t has freed me from nothing. ReaC
this would that not have freed N
equally as well?' AID he handed hin
the letter that his brother had writtc.
few hours before his death.
The others face darkened as :,
read and then he sad:
He was a man OF noble imDu,sc.
but they were only impulses! WuulC
you have felt sure while he lived tha;
he might not alter his miad again AT
any moment?"
Yes, He loved Ida, ard I do moi
believe he was man who would have
ever loved another woman | should
have been safe in his hands"
Then they began to talk about the
murder itself, and Smerdon asked
who was suspected. or if any one
was?'
NO." Penlyn said, mo one is sus.
Pected-as yet. ;, laborer was seen
following him on that night, and sus.
picion naturally falls on him. becau. e.
if he did not do 1t himself, he must
have been close ut hand. and would
have helped hm or given an alarm.
There is only one road through the
park. which they must both have tax

"None whatever, up TO last night
Meanwhile his friend and secretary,

PAN|cKY DEPOSTORS.
A Run on the Chicago Drovers
Truss and Savings Bank.
10 Was Started BY An Unfouncied Ru.
NOR That Packer Representative
Had withdrawn His Money
All Depositors Pasd.

Chicago, Aug. 6.-The strike In the
packing houses. was practically host
sight OF Friday in the excitement at-
tending run on the Drovers Trust
and Savings bank. one OF stockyards
institutions. The rush OF the depos-
itors to the bank started early Friday
because OF an unfounded rumor that
one OF the packers representatives
had withdrawn his money from the In
stitution and reports that the bank
was being used by the packing com
panies as an adjunct In paying on
their new employees. who have taken
the places of the strikers. All day
long hundreds of excited. depositors.
most of whom had only small accounts
in the bank. stood in line to withdraw
their deposits. When closing time
came Friday afternoon there were ut
least a. thousand persons waiting for
their money. The officials of the bank
determined to meet the emergency,
called in extra tellers and the place
was kept open until every depositor
who presented himself ut the window
had been satisfied. The paying win
dows of the bank were kept open I'M
I'll after s o'clock Friday night. Near
ly two hours before that time the last
man in line had been paid his deposit
in full and fresh arrivals mad ceased
coming.
IL is estimated that upwards Of g.
600 depositors called and withdrew
their deposits during the day. When
the run was at it's height. the bank
withdrew 100000 OF it's deposit with
the Commercial national bank and n
like amount from the First national
bank in order to prevent any posi-
bility of the bank being unable to
meet its obligations.
Many of the worSmen now on strike
In the packing plants have deposits
In the Drovers Trust and Savings
bank, but the majority OF the persons
who gathered about the place Friday
to demand their money were small
tradesmen doing business in tho stock
yards district. and working people
who are not and have not been con-
nected in labor capacity with the
packing plants.
The Teamsters' union, the members
OF which are on strike. had $4,000 on
deposit in the bank. but no effort was
made to withdraw this money Friday,
the secretary OF the union declaring
that the money will remain where it
Is. as the bank Is as solid as a rock

ter begged TO go with him and Riley
took her and seven OF her little girl
friends TO the beach with him.
When they entered the water Riley
babe the children join hands and they
all waded into the water and walked
along n sand bar which stretches out
into the stream at that point. They

According to the account of the az.

they had waded some distance into
the stream. keeping carefully to the
sand bar. when the wash from the
steamer caused waves OF considerable
height to come ashore.

4 1 CR text SPEAKS OF faltn; faith bring
" ing the soul ultimately to safe
anchorage in Heaven. Faith is the chan
mel through which all blessing flows
from God to the human life and soul.
Without faith IL is impossible to please
Him, for he that cometh unto God must
believe that He is and that lie is a re-
warder Of them that diligently seek
Him" Salvation is faiths blossom.
Give faith deep root; keep IT watered
with the word Of truth, enrich the soil
with a surrendered will and mellow il
with the harrow Of resolute purpose; let
the storm Of adversely test its depth and
strength Of root, and let the scorching
heat OF the midday sun of temptation
beat upon 1t until all the sap OF the hid
den power OF God is drawn up into its
stalk and stem and leaf. and theyAthe
flower of the fullness Of salvation will
begin TO unfold. And the end Of your
faith will be the salvation OF your soul.
But that salvation includes all that has
found its fruitage in God. Faith
brings all the gold and silver and prec-
ious stones OF Christs perfect charac-
ter and builds them into our lives. II is
the building which will stand the fiery
test Of Gods searching holiness. The
salvation Of our souls may include this
enduring building In Christ OF it may see
the soul stripped of everything but it's
very life. Salvation. or fullness Of SAL
vation-which shall IL be? Christ died
