When Brand went out the sudden
rush Of cold air through the little door
leading to the balcony aroused Pyne.
That young gentleman was rudely
awakened from a seriously vivid
dream. He fancied that Constance and
he were clinging to the tail of an enor-
nous kite, which had been made to
hover over the rock by a green imp
seated in an absurdly small boat.
They were solemnly advised by other
gnomes, imps with sparkling, toadlike
eyes, to intrust themselves to this pre-
carious means of escape, but the In
slant they dropped Off the ledge Of the
gallery their weight caused the kite
to swoop downward. The resultant
plunge into the ocean and C%onstance's
farewell shrek were nothing more ter
rifying than the chill blast and whistle
Of the air current admitted by Brand,
but Pyne did not want to go to sleep
again. He did not like emerald hued
spirits which arranged such unpleasant
escapades.
He Strengthened his stiff limbs and
sat up.
He was about to feel In a pocket for
his pipe-he experienced the worst
pangs Of hunger after waking In such
fashion-when he saw a woman's head

There was at least one other troubled
soul on the rock which OWNED some
sinister portent In the storm. Mrs.
Vansittart, even at this moment. was
staring into the black void with ques.

Just then, he climbed to the trimming
stage merely to find relief in mechan-
lcal action. He carefully examined the
adjustment, and, to judge how the
weather was shaping, went out into the
gallery to look Mt the distant lights.
The three quick flashes of the Seven
Stones lightship were very clear. That
was n good sisl. The wind came from

was, driving gigantic waves before 1t

"How does ne know me? What did

Mrs. vansittart pressed her left hand
) to her breast. With the other she kept
the high collar over her mouth and
cheeks. Pyne could only see her eyes,
and the alarmed light that leaped into
them increased his establishment at her
unexpected presence.

That's So" agreed Pyne.
There were puzzling discrepancies In
Mrs. Vansittart's explanation Of her
untimely appearance. Evidently she
did not expect to meet him there. She
thought she would find the lighthouse
keeper alone. The ready deduction
presented itself that when she did en-
counter Brand she did not wish any
third person to be present ut the inter

But to return, from another point
of view, to Springfield. Rev. c. Ran
som, until recently a colored pastor
/ there, and who for 25 years has been
in close touch with conditions in that
city, insists that many of it's vicious
white residents are jealous of the
colored population of the town by rea-
son of the unusual progress the Ne
groes have made. He points out that
the Negroes of Springfield are of as
high a class as can be found in the
country, declaring that they hold
many positions of trust in the city,
own considerable property and are
far ahead in a material way of many
of the white citizens. If this was the
cause the authorities Of Springfield
are all the more guilty in their dere-
LECTION, for they had to deal with an
irrepressible rabble that was not en-
titled to any consideration at their
hands. 1t shows that there was less
cause for the outrageous affair than
at first supposed and the less cause
there was for it the greater the duty
of the authorities to curb it without
ceremony. Instead of doing so the
riot was allowed to run on for two
days to the everlasting shame of the
city.

jungle tribes when they start on the
warpath, so your grace can readily
see the need of Christian missionaries
and schools. In behalf of humanity
l implore you to send as many mis-
sionaries and teachers as you can to
carry on the work of the Lord in
darkest Ohio. Also beg you person
ally to see his majesty, the King of
Dahomeny, and prevail upon him to
send with your missionaries and
teachers royal prince who, will rule
this unfortunate state till the bless
ings of Christian civilization enable
the people properly to govern them
selves. Very recently one of the
chief tribesmen of Ohio married a
daughter of our exalted ruler, Teddy
1, and did think of bringing the young
princess to his bungaloo, a trading
point called Cincinnati, on one of the
principal rivers of Ohio, but the
friends of the princess felt that she
would not be safe there without your
missionaries and the aid of Dehomey's
King. Hoping and praying that this
appeal may arouse sympathetic re-
Spouse in the Christian hearts of the
good people of Timbuctoo and Da-
honey, to the end that they make
every possible sacrifice to spread the
light of their truth into Ohio, beg

ADVICE TO COLoRED PEOPLE.

A number of colored men Of New
Albany addressed a letter to Hon.
John H. Stotsenburg, of that city,
who is president of the National Fed
GRAFTON of Civic Rights, as follows:
I'm view of the prevalence of mob
violence, North and South, culminat-
ing in the murder of colored persons
accused of crimes and in the destruc-
ton by incendiarism of their homes,
and in view of the fact, also, that no
member of any Of these mobs has
ever been punished, we should be
glad to get your opinion as a friend
of the colored race as to what meas
ures the people Of the race, as good
citizens, should adopt for self-protec-
ton from murderous mobs."
In reply Mr.. Stotsenburg said, in
part:
Nothing will save the colored race
from servitude to the white race, ex-
termination or exodus, voluntary or

der him all the aid and assistance in
my power for the accomplishment of
these purposes"
No man ever went before the peo-
pie Of this or any other state on
broader, wiser and more patriotic
pledge of services and platform of
principles and policies. Oregon needs
just such a man at the head of it's
congressional delegation at the ma
tional capital. No one can question
the strength of character, the integ-
rity of purpose, the honor and the
influence Of Judge E. B. Watson. He
would be a forceful factor in exalting
the state of Oregon to the place it
should hold among the magnificent
commonwealth of our Union.

fully in bond of national, beneficial

willing to perform all your duties as
