Trusting to find you at home and agreeable, |
Yours truly,
JOSEPH COLE.
Miss Abthorps relief tremendous per-
mitted herself to hope. AS soon as the evening
meal she dismissed the wondering Ezra
from the house. with strict functions not to return
till ten o'clock Finally she dressed herself in her
best alpaca gown took out her mothers jet jewery,
and waited. Promptly at eight-thirty there came
ring at the bell, and Miss Abthorp found upon the
doorstep, hat in hand slim, poetic looking man,
perhaps ten years her junior. His hair was softly
curling, his dark brown eyes were soulful; his pose
picturesque, but tmid. He wore glasses, tied
with string.
Sarah welcomed him efusive1y, and ushered him
into the dining ROOM with apologies for the state of
her front parlor. Im glad to you, Mr.. Cole!'
she said taking seat beside him. I've heard
great deal about you from Mr. Gliddens He seems
to admire you very much

and basting her near-silk gown, but she could not
put her mind to it. She lay down on the bed and
tried to sleep, but it impossible. Then she I'M
dertook clean up the cellar and spent three hours
working fercey among the boxes and barrels and
bottles and coal and ashes
AS she was picking at her luncheon, the door bell
rang. She tiptoed to the bare front parlor window
and peeped slyly through the blinds, expecting to
see the minister's wife in a green hat ready to
felicitate her upon the engagement To her relief,
it was only small boy, smeared with printers ink
from his head to his boots. She opened the front
door crack and took in the smutted envelop he
produced for her. AS he went away whistling, she
tore open the letter.
It was printed upon damp sheet of paper, freshly
pulled from proof press, and so folded that
copy-upsde down and backwards appeared upon
the lower half of the paper. She read, with con-
siderable surprise, the following communication set
in Roman Old Style ten-point type:

WITHOUT PROTEST.

Cleveland. Dec. 1O-Nahum ID.
Brascher. editor OF the Cleveland
Journal, a paper devoted to the In
terests OF the colored people. says he
thinks his people will make some
sort OF a move against the appear
ance OF Senator Benjamin Tillman in
this city Dec. II, when the Southern
er is billed to speak in the Grays'
armory on THE Race Problem From
the Southern Point of view."
Just what this move will be he is
unable to prophesy, but he thinks his
people will find way to prevent the
senator's making his usual address
on that subject, which Brascher styles
inflammatory.

The special gospel meetings will
continue every night this week.
Thirteen were added to the church
last week and great deal OF interest
has been manifested. On Sunday
night the house was packed and some
could not find seats; fully 900 peo-
pie were present. The large chorus
of fifty voices, led by the gospel sing
er, Stephen Davis. rendered music
and the quartetts and solos were
the special features at both morning
and evening services. In the morn
ing at the close OF the communion
service, Mr.. Davis sang that beau
tiful song, THE Inner Circle" and
at night he sang, Seeking for Me"
Rev Adams has few equals in
preaching the old Jerusalem gospel.
In the morning his subject was
Food for Babies" and among the
many things he said was that the
"sincere milk OF the word" was not
to be found outside but inside OF the
word OF God Sunday night was a
mastery sermon, "Three scenes from
the Bible" and the appreciation OF
each OF the audience was so true as
to awaken the conscience Of more
who had not as yot obeyed their
Lord.
The meetings will continue two
weeks longer, perhaps, but all who
desire a thorough knowledge OF Gods
book come every night TO hear the
plain teachings OF Christ and his
apostles. II you don't come you'll
