Preaching to the Deaf,

He that hath ears. let him hear, and
he that is deaf can now hear by telc.
phone, and has no excuse for staying
away from church. A clergyman in
Stratford, Conn, has a number of
deaf persons in his congregation. He
found that. curiously enough, they
could understand what was said to
them by telephone. So he set up a
telephon e. apparatus on his pulpit
desk and ran wires to pew near the
front of the church. There sit the
deaf. holding receivers. with light
handle like that of a lorgnette. This
deaf pew, however, is not necessary.
Telephone connection will be made
between the pulpit and any pew. A
great boon to the really deaf, but rath-
er veXatious, perhaps, to the persons
who are so deaf that they can hear
all the jokes at a theater perfectly
well, but cannot follow the sermon
with the Procession" Everybody's
Magazine.

Former Auditor Schwanbeck Dead.

Denver, May 23.-Louis B. Schwan'
oeck, former state auditor and prob
ably the nest known expert accountant
in Colorado, died yesterday morning at
st. Anthony's hospital at 1880 O'Clock,
aged fifty-four years. Death was due
to heart trouble. He was politician
of long experience and had wide ac-
Quaintance in the state.
Mr.. Schwanbeck came to America
from Germany at the age of twenty
seven, and twenty years ago he re-
moved to Colorado, accepting posi-
tion as assistant to Gen. Charles Ad-
ans, his brother, Indian agent at
Meeker.
Later, he removed to Saguache and
engaged in the hardware business with
Otto Mears. He soon entered politics
and became postmaster, county asses
sor, and later county treasurer. He
was elected auditor of state and served
from 1889 to 1891. Following the eX-
piration of this term of office, he went
TO the State Legislature to represent
Saguache county and served through
one session.
Mr.. Schwanbeck then took up the
work which he followed for the re-
mainder of his life, expert accounting.

CHAPTER xvI-continued.

l dropped lightly to the floor again,
sat upon the stool and resumed my
thoughts. Time It's said passeth as
quickly as weaver's shuttle. Under
some circumstances I could mention
no doubt, but that day after receiving
the message time crawled.
l watched the fading away of those
last faint rays of light with intense
satisfaction. Then l again mounted
the stool and again looked abroad.
Night had drawn her mantle over the
land-not even a star cleaned in the
Sky.
l listened to hear sounds outside
my door, knowing my jailor must soon
come with my evening meal. Yes
had not long to wait ere | heard the
shuftling footsteps of the man. He
clanked his keys and gave out an
apologize sniff, the usual thing. as
he neared the door of my cell. The
key moved hardly in the rusty hole,
was turned with a doleful sound, half
shrek half groan, the door moved
back.
"A little oil on the hinges, sirrah."
l said, would render it not so graf
ing on the nerves. Faugh! Is this
the food to serve a gentleman"
added as l picked up the loaf of
bread from the floor where he had
set it together with a jug of water.
My supper! l ordered him to take
it away.
''Tis the usual prison fare" he
snifiled; eff you want better you can
pay for it." Then he backed toward
the door.
Now the old rascal had drained
me as dry as any goblet of sparkling
wine was ever drained by horseman
and, as | had bought and paid most
literally for every meal l had eaten
since l had entered the doors of this
beastly place, this was adding insult
to injury Knowing this, ne dared
place before me bread and water. It
broke the camel's back.
"Out of my sight, you miserable
renegade" l cried starting up.

To the Point.

For many years a travelling pedler

New England. His route lies mostly
within Maine and New Hampshire,
where he sells. needles. pins. soap,

guest at the isolated farmhouse where
he calls. Unlike most itinerant ped
lers he is a man of few words.

one of the long hills of North Con-

In its entrance stood Rosemary Allyn.

l never saw man make quicker
time in getting through doorway

bloated old hypocrite. In Cromwell's
time he had been one of those to
persecute any Cavalier who happened
from various reasons to come under

paid the same considerate attention
to his old friends who stood to their
convictions. He was intensely re-
pulsive to me. His lank stiff hair,
which no doubt was slick enough
when slick hair was the fashion, now
stood up about his head as If in pro-
test against its new arrangement.

I heard was Gil's deep voice. Ah-h-h!

So without any ado we passed the
humbly bowling apologetic fool and
went down the corridor and steep
flight of stairs of the prison to the
street door, which he opened.
In circle at the entrance to the

The constable was trying to force
his way through the crowd, who had
begun to suspect that all was not
right. While some laughingly helped
him on his way, others. while not
seeming to do so, did much to impede
his progress. We could hear his voice
above the roar of the ever larger
growing crowd, which was pushing us
hard. crying, "An escape-to the res

of muck and hay which Uttered one

he was back at my side, while the
crowd cheered and halloed like mad.
That was an act that they could un-
derstand without any words.
We galloped into Southwark. There
had been no time for explanations.
We stopped before the Tabard and
entered the tap room. Immediately
good meal was served, of which l
felt in need. From the way the men
also did justice to it, one would have

VIOLENT STORM
Does Damage in Different Parts Of
Colorado

Denver, May 23-At least two per-
sons were killed in the heavy storm
which prevailed in many parts of Col
orado yesterday. The electrical dis
turbanCes were the most severe of any
this year. The rain fell in binding tor
rents, and was accompanied by high
wind. HailstoneS were larger than
usual. Owing to the damage to wires
reports are incomplete. The damage
was heaviest at Greeley.
Two deaths are reported:
Fort Collins: Mrs. John Bee, aged
fifty-eight, struck by lightning.
Longmont: Unknown Mexican, en-
ployed by Richard Clark, struck by
lightning.
A terrific rain and electric storm,
accompanied at times by hail, swept
Greeley, Eaton, Windsor and vicinitq
last night. From s o'clock until 10
O'Clock rain fell in torrents. The light
ming was the most vivid seen in years
and played havoc with telephone and
telegraph wires. Several large trees
here were struck and some damage
was done to dwellings.
1t is feared that many cattle on the
range We're killed by lightning. Water
from the gullies west and south OF
town poured into No. ditch with the
result that it broke through it's banks
and flooded streets and cellars in the
western edge of town.
There was heavy rain at and above
Colorado Springs and Manltou and a
flood in Monument creek did some
damage.
Mrs. John Bee, living twelve miles
north of Fort Collins, was struck by
lightning yesterday while working in
her garden and instantly killed.
