Rev. John Cole walked slowly down

Would it be of any use? Ought she
not to have tried other means-alarm-
ed the house, and given his up? No,
she could never have done that, for
she had won his confession from him
by an appeal to him-she could not
use it for his hurt. How wonderful 1t
all was! How deep had been the clev
erness and subtlety of the plot! That
likeness-that, too, was wonderful.
AS she stood there, silent and motion
less, where he had left her, her mind
went over the story again and again
with more amaZement. There had
been so much that seemed like chance
in it all, and yet, as she looked. back,
she could seem to see the one connect
ing thread that ran through it all;
stringing it into a whole. The thread
of coincidence-her presence at Gov
ernment House that night-her faith
er's recognition of NoePs photograph
her own accidental straying out to-
night to the gate. It had all seemed
so full of chance, of mere happening,
and, behold, it was held in hand that
drew together the scattered web into
a whole.
Baverstock stole down the road in
the shadow with the stealthy step OF
the spy, and a tumult in his heart
that was like nothing he had ever

much goes to character forming in cir

much might be forgiven.
And there had come into the stunted
and warped life Of his an influence that
touched it with strange and curious
hand. There had broken through the
barred and shuttered windows the radi-

Pope Plus by its Rome correspondent
on the policy of the vatican on the

by French Catholics.
"Oh, those Frenchmen." he said, al

WHISKY MANS ARGUMENT
Counsel for Wholesalers Oppose
Hepburn Pure Food Bill.

Washington, Feb. 2O.-warwfck G.
Mough of st. Louis, general counsel of
the National Wholesale Liquor Dealers
association, spoke before the house
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce today in opposition TO the
Hepburn pure food bill. He said the
provisions relating to whisky did not
insure purity and were misleading A
straight whisky may be either pure OF
impure, he said. and a blended whisky
also may be either pure or impure All
whisky is an artificial and not a natural
product, and he said it is not fair to
compel distillers to make public their
formula for flavoring whisky, as this is
a trade secret and has nothing to do
with the purity or impurity of the
product so far as whoIesomeness is
concerned.
