Rev, custer Will Lecture.

The present age is seeking things nat
urai and real. The one chief reason why
the lecture, "Wild Animals ! have
Known, "has had such marvellous success
is because the author OF that lecture took
his kodak, went into the woods, and,
taking the pictures of animals in their
native habitat, had them placed upon
stereoptcon slides, and while they are
passing before the eyes upon the screen
his descriptions captiyate the people
who are already using their eyes and
need but to have their ears occupied in
order to be held spellbound and kept in
terested. The lecture to be given in the
NJ. f.. church, Friday night, April 18th,
has been arranged upon this very basis.
The author, Rev w. T. Custer, went to
Egypt, Palestine, Syria, Asia Minor,
Greece, Italy, and through Europe, Wis
iting the art galleries, the museums, the
great works Of art and architecture, and
by turning the kodak upon ruins of
earliest civilizations, masterpieces of art
and scenes beautiful and rare, has
brought back to this land in his lecture
''As the Kodak Sees Lands of Bible Story
and Classic Song" realizations of these
far away lands which all will desire to
see and hear him tell about.

The shot struck hJ'n &1l the forehead. he stood leaning against the wall. George had gained his point. Under the pretense of trying to recall the combination he had gained time for something he had in view. He was going to write a note to Hillyer and cautiously slip it into the old mans day book on the desk. This is what he hastily penned and addressed to Hill yer:
 Three unknown men have me covered with revolvers to force me to open safe They think I am now studying out com bination. Escape impossible. know you would rather have me give in, but I can't. The world believes the son of a thief will steal, and it would say I was a party to the crime. I'm tired of the struggle anyway. I never would have committed suicide, but am not averse to this chance to prove I despise dishonesty. Do this one thing for me: Tell l.. c. I died hoping 1t would show that I am an honest man. I don't believe these men can possibly get into the safe, and by refusing them the combination can save xols~money and the money deposited by

 "One of us will be enough" said Mrs. Buckley. But, George, I've been studyin' since got this letter. I never thought of it before, but I never knowed yore pa to do dishonest act till he had that fall an hurt his head.

Oh, George, it may be that away in yore pas case, an them twelve men an the judge jest sent pore sick man off fer what he couldn't help. It wasn't managed right. Somebody ought to "a fetched up that point. He mighty nigh made life unbearable fer us all, but the chain gang wasn't the place fer man in his condition.'
 She had pushed back her bonnet and her gray eyes were flashing rebellious- ly. George was deeply moved.
 That's right, mother," he said ad- mtringly, his fine face aglow, "st1ck to him. I remember, when was a very little fellow, that he was kind and gen. tie with me, and although he treated me pretty badly after grew up never could forget t~that period. Yes, you must go to him and do all you can for his comfort. m pay for it."

Lord, missed the sidewalk, they tell mel met some old friends that kept me full to the neck through the whole business. couldn't toot my bugle."
 "Thats one way to celebrate" George said, with smile,' as Truitt was turn ing away.
 A few minutes later Mrs. Buckley came into the office. She wore 8 check ed gingham .sunbonnet and it was pulled well down over her face. Tn her hand she held a letter. By her silence and agitated manner George knew she had received unpleasant news. He placed chair for her near his desk and resumed his own seat wondering what could have happened.
 You have letter from father" he said tentatively.
 ''Not from him, George, but it's from ap thar. It's from the prison doctor. She was silent a moment, then she continued: ''Yore pas bad off, George. The doctor thinks he's had serious at tack. It's that old hurt place in his head that he got when he fell off the wagon fifteen year ago. The doctor cayn't tell how it'll come out, but he says I'd better be up thar.

I hugged her up in my arms, an she sobbed like a baby, but we never got no higher solv1n' the riddle. When she went down to the big party the governor give Ter, thought maybe she'd 'decid- ed to marry to suit 'er folks"
 'She has," Buckley said, swallowing his emotion. But let's not talk about it. That's all over, mother. She and live in absolutely different worlds"
 ''No, you don't, nuther," said Mrs. Buckley. She's jest a good, natural, lovin' woman that wants to do her duty accordin' to her lights, but thar is sight agin you both, an thar's no gittin' round 1t.

 ''It was all my fault" he answered sadly. 'T ought not to have visited their house so much. My trial will come, mother, when she is Telfare's wife. I get desperate when I think of that"
 "Well, try not to think of it." she said.
 Her train was coming, and he went to buy her ticket. He found her a seat and then kissed her goodby.

 George Buckley's head sank for an instant, then he looked up and gazed at her tenderly.
 There is nothing, mother, that can keep me from being with you and him. When his time is out we'll all live to- gether. I've made up my mind on that point. He's convict, and I want things different, but he's my father and you are my mother, and that settles it. 7 The old woman started away. She had reached the door, but turned back and stood near him.
