sHe divided the great human cata-
clysnis which he denominated Cru
sades into three classes. religious,
political and social. II
After some remarks he drew a
vivid picture b fthe great crusades
against Mbhauned ism inan9,irated
by Peter the Hermit III the Middle
Ages. The religious motive aud the
! earnest, unquestioning faith in
themselves and in their case which
chara cterized the European hosts in
their long warfare with the Saraeens
were slsillfnllx set forth BY the
speaker. ~
The crusade Of Savnnarola against
the corruption and folly Of the papal
administration Of the fourteenth
century next claimed the lecturers
attention. Florentine life and
fourteenth century ideas and ideals
were set before the audience in a
series Of delightful word pictures
which reminded sone Of Ronicla.

with 1t to a foreign country. Jonas,
sharp as he was, was deceived into be-
lIcvihg it an honest enterprise. He came
there to get his wife's life insured, and

B3 Tigg, however, knowing Jonas OF old.

influence Mr.. Peclesnin, now his father

3ly by telling him what sharp man he,
was and offered to make him n dtrec-
tor In the company. He assured Jonas
there would be enormous profits and
showed him how by putting his own
money in 1t he could cheat other people
out OF much more. This idea ttckled
Jonas. and he agreed.
Ii Having got thus far, Tigg hired 9 spy
named Nadget to see II he could dis
cover whether Jonas had ever commit
ted any crime, the knowledge OF which
would put him In their power. Nadgettl

As an experiment Tigg boldly charged

with fear that he had stumbled on the
truth, He then told Jonas he not only
must nut into the company more OF his
own money. hut he must persuade Peck
sniff to do likewise, and JOINS for his lie
dared not now refuse him, He thought OF
escaping to some other country. but now
wherever he turned he found Tlgg's spies

he wanted to marry Mercy Pecksniff,
and to do both he preferred the old man

These he put in his fathers drawer In

His father, however and Chuney, the
old clerk, noticed the difference. ana they
shock of discovering that his own son
had tried to murder him proved the old

Graham made Charity angry; and she lett
her fathers house and went to live in
London ut Mrs. Todgers boarding house,
where she set her cap to catch q young
man, whether he wanted to marry her
or not. AS for Mercy, tho younger sis
ter, she was leading Jonas such a DAME
that she thought very little Of her fathers
schemes.
The vinegary Charity out Of tho way
Pecksnff began to prosecute Mary mole
and more. One day he made her so an
cry by holding her hand md kissing It
that she threatened to complain to old
Chuzzlewit. Pecksniff told her that II
she did he would use all his Influence TO
turn the old man still more against his
grandson. Tho poor girl was In great
trouble then, for she loved Martin and
feared Pecksniff's growing power with
Chuzzlewit And seeing that this threat
frightened her, Pecksniff continued his
annoyances. MA
According to Martins parting advice,
Mary had learned, to like and to trust
Tom Pinch, in spite Of his mistaken awor-
ship of Pecksniff One day while Tom
was practiclng the organ at the church
she came to him and confiding In him,
told all that she had endured In his
simplc-heartedness he had admired ana
looked up to Pecksniff oil his life, but
this evidence opened his eyes. At last
he saw the pompous hypocrte in his true
light. He agreed with her that the arch
itect was scoundrel and comforted her,
and asked her always to trust In his own
friendship. 81 S
Unluckily while they talked there was
an caveslropper near 1t was Pecksntff
himself He had gone into the church to
rest and lying down in ono Of tho high
back pews, had gone to sleep, and now

Here was a rare mystery and Ruth IN
her mingled excitement and Pic making
looked 30 sweet and charming that then
and there 2 Westlock fell IN love with
her.
Tom and he went at once to the agent
who had made this extraordinary offer,
ana he took them to an unoccupicd house
to q dusty room whose floor was covered
all over with books. Tom, he said was
to arrange and make list OF these.
Then he gave him the key, told him to
come TO him each week for his salary
and disappeared.
Still wondering, the two friends went
back together, for Of course Westlock
had to taste the beefsteak pudding. Ruth
had supper waiting for them. Every
minute livestock thought she grew more
lovely and as he walked homo he knew
he was IN love at last. rs
Now, the mystery OF TOMS library and
OF tho bank-note that Martin had re-
ceived when his money was all gone,

them both II they could have guessed 1t.
Old Chuzzlewit whom they believed SO
harsh and whom the willy Peckshtff
thought he had got under his thumb, was

very plainly the lad was growing selfish
and wished to save him from this. He
had longed for nothing more than that
Martin and Mary should marry but tle
wished Ito try their love for zach other
