New York, Oct. 4.-"UnIess you pay
us $1,000 we will cut your boys body
to pieces and return it to you in per-

Inls threat contained in an anony-
nous letter signed with a cross caus-

Screamed. 1t may be part Of my

The wonan's hysterical condition
was due to the fact that her child VII
lie, five years old, had been kidnapped
on Friday last, and, although dIIigeat
search had been made for him and the
kidnapers, no trace Of them could be
found.
Ask 5000 FOR Boy.
On the day that the boy disappeared
the anxious mother received a letter
informing her that her boy was in the
hands of friends, who would return
him to his home if $1,000 was given
them.
The letter was turned over to the
police, who began to scour the city for
the boy and the man who had kidnapped
him.
When Mrs. Lebarbera read the let
ter she lost consciousness, and it was
some time before she recovered. She
took the letter to the station house
and on bended knees impIored the pe-
lice to find her boy before his life was
taken.
Another letter received by the par
ents of the missing boy read as fol-
lows:
Twice we have had the knife at the
boys throat. We are mereiful Your
tears would writhe our hearts. But
the knife shall not always be taken

money which would have saved him

The boy, Willie, after kissing his
mother on Friday last, went into the

his fathers store all morning and

rather swarthy appearance. This man

When night came the mother had

Another letter which the parents Of
the boy received said in part:
Without ceasing your child cries for
you. He is growing thin and weak.
We can feed him only a little longer.

BrOuSSard Notes.

Miss NJ. F.. Trousdale left for
Lake Charles Sunday.
Miss Hilda Kahn left Monday
morning for New Orleans, where
she goes to be present at the
graduation OF her sister. Miss
Florence.
We had that rain at last and can
now travel with some comfort.
Crops are looking better already.
Miss Annie Terrell, of New
iberia, came Sunday night and
will take charge of Miss Kahn's
work while she is away.
Who says Broussard didn't
lick Scott Saturday: The base
ball game was one that anyone
would enjoy, errorless. clean and
snappy. The score was 4 to 3
in favor of BrOussard. Our line
up was as follows: Frank Ber-
nard D. Andre Bernard c. Err
nest Faulk h.. Frank Reaux 3D.,
Willie Landry 3 b., Tillon Olivier

bert Girouard C.. f., Lionel Mala-
garie r. f. Let's try it again,
Scott.
Mr.. John Reaux has bought
some lots near Mr.. Faulk'S and
has had his residence moved on
them. 1t would be a good in
vestment for the school to buy
his lots near the school grounds.
We need these lots for a new $1O,-

God and Clavering and herself could
have told the rest.
But something in her face, in the
very atmosphere of her tonight had
stirred his blood strangely, and his
brain teemed with a sweet, half-de-
fined, insidious gladness. 1t was to
him she had turned in the hour of her

"A sudden wild thought flashed
through Stanhope's mind. What If
Clavering should die! What if the girl
lie had worshipped with the one great
passion of his life were to be free
once more? All at once, he was con-
scious that his breath ceased; the
blood pounded and surged in his tenn
pies; his heart leaped guiltily. What
if! But he dashed away the thought
and dug his heels into the horses
sides almost viciously. If anything
happened. it must be by the will of
God, and not through his volition.
Stanhope felt that he should never
forget that ride as long as he lived.
Every flower, nodding, ghost-like, by
the roadside; every swaying tree.

the almost spent brute-every suffo-
eating throb of his heart would be in

and hoping might mean almost any
thing.
The return journey was made me-
chanically. To Stanhope's dazed
brain, it might have been six miles
or it might have been sixty-or only
one. He rode through the darkness
with bowed head and deliberately va
cant senses. The draught upon his
s~elf-control left him physically weak,
so that when, by some inexplicable
chance, he found himself in front of
the Claverings', he half reeled in his
saddle.
After all, it was only natural that
he should stop here to learn the result.
Any one must have felt the propriety
of that. His passion had well-nigh
blinded him. Kathleen would expect
it, since he it had been to whom she
had appealed!
Soon the doctor came out and stood
FOR a moment in the doorway talking
20 Mrs. Clavering. His face was grav-

head from time to time as he talked.

A Christ who suffers with each Christian

Who bids us all press onward to the goal
Who welcomes Magdalene, nor ever
